Description
I have a couple of new UV82 radios and Chirp complained a bit about uploading my image to the new radios.
The old radios show N822413 in both firmware msg 1 and msg 2.
The new radios show N822413 (the same firmware), but only in msg 1.
Is there anyway to tell it to ignore the duplication in msg 2 or to ignore the absence of the duplication in the new radio?
I have attached screen shots.
This is not a big problem. The memory locations upload fine. Manually updating the other settings is not a big deal.
Thank you,
Ken

Hi Kenneth,
This is by design. If the firmware version (Firmware Message 1: + Firmware Message 2:) of the source "image" being uploaded does not exactly match the firmware version of the destination radio, the portions of memory that could have undesirable result if copied into a similar radio with a different firmware version are skipped (In some cases the upload is completely aborted and nothing is uploaded). In your case, this affects mainly the settings that are stored in what is called "aux memory" (power-on messages, band limits, squelch thresholds, etc). What this means is that you will have to keep separate CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) files for each unique firmware version and make separate adjustments to the affected settings. The good news is that once the settings stored in "aux memory" are set up, they rarely need updating.
Historical note: There used to be a time where the upload was always fully aborted whenever a firmware version mismatch was detected.
