My Baofeng uv-6 works fine, but when I download from the radio an make changes, im not able to upload back.
This happens every time I try.
CHIRP worked fine both ways from start, but suddenly I got this issue. All other models I have work fine.
I find it hard to see if any others have had the same problem.

Please attach the CHIRP .img file you're trying to upload. Not a screenshot "image".

It looks to me like the driver is preventing you from uploading an image taken from one radio into another that has a different firmware. @Jim Unroe can confirm, but if so that means it's doing its job to help avoid a breakage.

Both radios worked fine both ways at the beginning. If there are issues with the driver, could you advice me for what to do?

Hi again. I have still not found a solution for my issue. How can I resett my radio or repair the firmware?

You must not swap images between these 2 radios. You must download from each to create tabs. Then copy-and-past memories between the tabs. The upload each tab back into the same radio that it came from.

Are you able to download from a radio and immediately upload back into it?

Yes. Something similar to that. I will attach at test driver later today with the 'fix'.

The attached test driver module should properly support the UV-6 without breaking support for the other models. I don't have a UV-6 available for testing (the original radios that were used were loaned to me has had to be returned). This needs to be tested by those wiht physical access to the radio.

Many thanks for your help. It worked.

But do I understand right that I have to upload the driver everytime I start CHIRP?

OR only when I want to do changes to the UV-6?

Every time you start CHIRP but only when you want to program your UV-6.

At least until the patch gets submitted and becomes available in a future build.

Now that I have confirmation that it works, I will try to get the changes submitted.
