I was wondering if anyone had an original chirp image for a Baofeng Tech UV-5001 Generation 2 with firmware BTG214. I seem to have the same problem as some of the ht issues of the image getting corrupted when being uploaded to the radio. I can only hear an audio transmission when I press the monitor button or set the squelch to 0. Please note that the squelch settings or tone settings are not the problem. This has been well documented with some ht images getting corrupted when being uploaded and only an original image file will fix the issue. I tried to upload the same image to my radio that I uploaded months ago and the only thing that was different was the newer daily version of chirp. When I reverted back to an earlier daily version it did not solve the issue. Resetting the radio or loading the default settings with the oem software were also ineffective. Also the problem is the same if it is in vfo or memory mode. I have sent a bug report to chirp so they can investigate it further. I know I should have backed up an image but I like to live dangerously. Thanks in advance for any help.
