[chirp_users] UV82 firmware incompatible
I have successfully programmed UV82 in the past, seven in fact with the same .img file. I just bought 3 more and tried to upload to the radio but got error message that the Firmware version doesn't match that of the radio. I could Download from that radio and saved that file. Maybe upgrading CHIRP to the latest version 0.4.1 would help but didn't, so also ran Daily Build install hoping but no luck. I still get the same error message when trying to Upload and if I now try to Download, I get a message that it's the wrong model! I can still download from my older UV82. I see in Settings>Other Settings it shows the Firmware Message 1&2 which is different for the old and new radios but they are greyed out so can't change it. Older radios Firmware Message 1> ver Older radios Firmware Message 2> B82525 New radios Firmware Message 1> N822411 New radios Firmware Message 2> N822411 What do I do? Please help. John
John,
Try this. Hook up your new radio and try reading it. If it reads successful then, were getting somewhere. If you can download from your new 82, then once it is open and loaded. go up to file then open. Here is where you want to load your older 82's file. You should have 2 tabs open. 1 for the new and 1 for the old. Go to your old file and copy and paste the frequency list from the old into the new radio tab. Once you got that done, take and read the new radio with the new tab that was opened with the frequencies you just copied. It should now be loaded with the same frequency data as your older 82.
What is happening is your taking your old 82 with a older firmware and trying to force the new radio with a newer firmware. And they don't like to play nice. Always, Always read from your radio 1st before trying to mix and match radios. What I do is make a master file and then do as instructed from above and the firemares wont mix as your only moving the data. Hope this helps. let me know how it goes or any other questions.

CHIRP uses the firmware version to identify which radio model that the image file was saved from. The N82 firmware numbering series is new and therefor was unknown to CHIRP.
A patch to add this new numbering series was submitted earlier in the week. Once accepted, it will be available in the next CHIRP daily build release.
Baofeng is transitioning the UV-82 firmware to be more like the UV-5R firmware. For example, powering the radio on with the [5] key pressed displays the firmware version on the B82 radios where the [3] key must be used on the N82 radios. Like when the UV-5R series transitioned from the BFB firmware to the N5R firmware, the memory layout has been changed and images from B82 radios are not compatible with radios having N82 firmware (and the other way around).
To get around this, you will have to "Import" the channels from your master "image" or have a tab open for each firmware version so you can copy-and-paste between tabs.

Thanks for the info, I'll just have to wait for the patch. Flow of events went like this, open CHIRP get message of new version is available decided to pass at this stage. Connected new UV-82 and tried to upload my img but error about firmware but I was able to download OK and saved that img. Decided I should update to 0.4.1 and also installed the daily build. After that I could not talk to the radio at all, however, I was able to still connect successfully with my older UV-82. Reverted to the previous version 0.4.0 which allowed me to download but trying to upload the same img I get error massage about firmware, even though it is what I just downloaded. I'll just have to be patient and wait for the next daily build. Thanks gentlemen for the help John

If you are trying to upload an image from a different radio with a different firmware version this is being stopped by the software because some radios were damaged when this happened. You can always download from the radio and copy the rows from the existing image, or export/import a CSV.
Good luck, Daniel KK6ANP
