This is by design. You can't directly upload an image created from one vendor/model into another radio of a different vendor/model.
You have to download from the radio that you want to program to open a tab that is compatible with it. Then you can Import a saved CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file from the radio with a different Vendor/Model to bring the memories from the saved image into this tab. This "page":https://baofengtech.com/CHIRPImport attempts to explain it in more detail.
Another quick-and-dirty method is to download from the source radio (or load a *.img file that was previously saved from it). Now do the same for the for the target radio to create a second tab. Now copy-and-paste the memories from the tab from the source radio into the tab for the radio you want to program.
Make any other changes to the settings of the radio you are programming (with either method, only the memory rows are imported) and then upload to the radio.
