So I just got the Anytone 5888UV Dual Band in today and ran into the issue with Chirp showing "list index out of range" error beginning at channel 35 when I pulled the original programming from the radio. It wouldn't let me program to the radio from channel 35 onward. I found a solution to this issue and wanted to share it.
In order to get the full frequency list to index properly in Chirp, you first need to download and install the AnyTone 5888UV factory software. Once the software is installed, open it and download the stock programing from the radio. After the download is complete, upload that exact list back to the radio using the factory software.
Go back into Chirp and download from the radio again. Now all of the available channels for the radio can be accessed and the "list index out of range" error is gone.
I discovered this by messing around with both softwares because I really wanted to use Chirp to dump my programming list into the radio. You will need to use the factory software to set advanced settings however for the radio configuration options. I spend atleast an hour online searching for this workaround but wasn't able to find it. Hopefully this post will help others down the road with this issue.
