I just order my first (well, second) GMRS radios. A pair of Baofeng UV-5X GMRS radios. I am trying to find out if the firmware version on the radios is the latest, or is fairly usable. That is, it doesn't have the bugs that came with the first version of firmware such as pre-programmed privacy tones on each channel, etc.
The radio identifies as a Radioddity UV-5G using the CHIRP software for Linux (Ubuntu).
The radio looks exactly like a UV-5R, but the little label on the bottom says "UV-5X"
By pressing #3 on the keypad and turning the radio on, the firmware version is displayed. "P51UV01". Does anyone know if Baofeng or Radioddity publish release notes and firmware versions on their websites for the UV-5X or UV-5G. I have not been able to locate any more detailed info other than their programming software (for Windows) and manuals.
