Description

This is an addition to Issue #9059. I've added a file that was not included in that messaage. Please ignore my message in #9059

Following up on your recent feedback for Issue #9053. I am having trouble programming my UV-5R.I started with a good image from a BF-F8HP, the plugged in the UV-5R and tried to upload that impage to it. I've attached a few screeshots and wonder if you can point me to the resource or process to import the BF=F8HP into the UV=5R. Thank you.I am still newe to this precess and am not familiar with the errors I'm receiving. I am able to successfully program my BF-F8HP, but not the UV-5R.

You must not directly upload an image from a BF-F8HP to a UV-5R.
You must not directly upload an image from a UV-5R to a BF-F8HP.

Especially if the firmware versions are different. CHIRP it telling you in "Result of trying to download working BF-F8HP image to UV-5R.jpg" that what you are doing is not permitted.

There are many ways of transferring the channels between radios of different vendors/models/firmware versions. The most quick-and-dirty method is to download from both radios to create 2 tabs. In your case it would be a UV-5R tab and a BF-F8HP tab. Then you would just copy-and-paste the channels between tabs.

A more thorough method would be to download from the source radio and save the tab to a CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file. You would then download from the target radio to create a tab for it. Then you would Import the *.img file from the source radio into the tab for the target radio. Once that is complete, you would then upload the modified tab back into the target radio. A more detailed explanation is available "here":https://baofengtech.com/chirpimport/.

But if the corrupt image that you have been posting is from your UV-5R or has been uploaded to your UV-5R, you must fix your UV-5R first.
