Hello, I have been trying to program my new radio I can change the memories but when ever I click on the settings page I get the error message that "Value 16665 not in range 130-179" I've tried resetting my radio and even tried uploading the settings from my wife's radio to mine but nothing seems to change it. We both have the same model Baofeng UV-9R PRO both with firmware NT5101 Mine gets the message hers does not. I am running the most recent CHIRP next-20230622 on Python 3.8.2 wxPython 4.2.0 osx-cocoa (phoenix) wxWidgets 3.2.0. The attached Baofeng IMG file is the original download from the radio. The David IMG is the one I put on after I set the uploaded from my wife's radio and changed the memories. and the Mia IMG is the one that is on my wife's radio and is working just fine.

Hello. I also got that error when downloading the image from the radio.
I went to the line in the "settings.py" file that gave the error and saw that when it receives a value outside the range it throws an exception and does not continue loading the data.

def set_value(self, value):
    try:
        value = int(value)
    except Exception:
        raise InvalidValueError("An integer is required")
    """ To probe i make this and it continue. them i change values."""
    if value > self._max or value < self._min:
        value = self._min
    if value > self._max or value < self._min:
        raise InvalidValueError("Value %i not in range %i-%i" %
                                (value, self._min, self._max))
    RadioSettingValue.set_value(self, value)

It would be possible instead of throwing an exception to assign a valid value: "self._min" for example and prevent it from continuing.
A warning message could be given so that we were aware that this value must be adjusted.
Greetings.

No, setting self._min in settings.py is not the right thing to do, but the driver should do its own bounds checking and/or catch the exception and do something other than crash.
