Description
The UV-5R driver need updated to make it easier to add support for the ever changing firmware numbering variations.
Baofeng have been making memory layout changes that make it necessary to determine if the image being uploaded is compatible with the radio. At the same time Baofeng is making it more challenging to determine which images are compatible with which radios. The time has come to require that the Image Firmware Version exactly matches the Radio Firmware Version to prevent problems that are created when an incompatible image is uploaded to a radio.
