Description

Purchased 2 new BF-888s radios in August 2019. CHIRP (daily-20190817) downloads from radio and shows/writes changes to frequencies in memory menu without issues. However, settings menu is completely blank. Attempted to write an image to the new radio from an older model BF-888s that CHIRP works correctly with, but radio settings were unchanged (i.e. still blank). Found a version of Baofeng's programming software online "2013-3-7 BF-480_888_BFE90_V6_490_568_U3_K5_U8_BF-R5.zip". This software was able to read/modify/write to the new radios without problems. After writing the modified settings to the new radio, CHIRP was suddenly able to read the new settings, but still could not write any changes back to the radios.

Sounds like this problem is similar to previously reported Bug #6587, but more severe.
