Greg,
You currently should not be using the CHIRP stable build for any Baofeng/Pofung radios because of memory layout changes in the latest models. Also, the CHIRP stable build does not support the radios with 3 power levels (see the Support Radios list on the CHIRP home page. Upgrade to the latest CHIRP daily build and you should be OK.
