Description
Hello,
I work for a national youth organization giving teenagers the opportunity to have mountain biking as their high school sport. We have just started using UV-5R and UV-5RA radios to aid in our risk management and EMS response at races. While I've successfully troubleshot the rest of our eighty radios, I am having trouble with one last set of thirty radios.
You can learn more about our organization if you're interested by following this link: http://www.nationalmtb.org/
Here's the list of things I have done:
- Using Chirp 0.4.0. I programmed 30 BaoFeng UV-5R radios with a file that wasn't written for the correct firmware
- radios would only receive with Moni button pressed.
- to find the correct file we reset a radio, uploaded it to chirp and found the following version: Firmware Message 1: N5R-20 Firmware Message 2: BFB297
- we went to http://kc9hi.dyndns.org/uv5r/programming/CHIRPrecovery/ to download the corresponding "factory" and "reset" files, but found those files crashed chirp and didn't program the radios.
Has anyone else had a similar issue? Are we missing some sort of firmware understanding? Thank you.
-Chris
P.S. I attached the file downloaded from the reset radio.
