Am getting this error message "Upload finished, but the 'Other Settings' could not be sent because the firmware version of the image ( Ver B82S26 ) does not match that of the radio ( Ver B82S28 )."
Am trying to upload info to a Baofeng UV-82X and getting this message. It's possible my CHIRP version may not be new enough. Seems to still transfer the frequencies and labels. Not sure what is NOT being transferred because of this.
Does anyone know what needs to be done to get rid of the error message? Or what is not getting transferred? Anything to worry about?
Thx,
Shon

Something I planned to send but forgot. I'm using an older version of CHIRP, CHIRP daily-20140428, because my thinking pattern tends to be that if I don't need something new to get the same job done as without, I do without. For example, just look at all the people on this discussion group who have to go back to old Win drivers to make this work. Hence, the older version of CHIRP.
Again, thx for any info.

The error message means just what it says. You are uploading a CHIRP Radio Image (*.img) file that was saved from another radio with a different firmware version into your radio. CHIRP uploads the "main" memory that has the per-channel data and most settings but stops short of the "aux" memory which is firmware specific. Until recently it was considered safe to swap the "main" memory between radios with different firmware version but still withing the same model family. But in late 2014 Baofeng made memory layout changes to the "main" memory so that it is no long safe to exchange the "main" memory among different firmware versions. If you were using the latest CHIRP daily build, it would have refused to upload the image because the firmware version of the data file does not exactly match the firmware version of the radio.
To get this error to stop, all you do is download the channels and settings from your radio to create a tab that is compatible with your radio. Then you can load the "foreign" image into another tab allowing you to copy-and-paste the channels from the tab from B82S26 radio to the tab for your B82S28 radio. Another method, which I prefer, is once you've download from your radio into a tab, then you use the CHIRP File -> Import method to import the B82S286 image's channels into the tab from your radio.
