Hi Ruben,
Just wondering, did you download from the radio first?
You have to download first before you can upload anything.
HTH.

Subject: [chirp_users] BF-F8HP - UHF Not Supported
Chirp won't let me type in UHF frequencies in the file even before uploading
to the radio.
I saw the message below & checked settings and yes lowest UHF is 400. High
520. Won't let me type anything in the 440 range.
The radio accepts UHF if I manually type it in on the keypad.
The CHIRP used to accept UHF & shows them on my old files, but when I try to
edit the old code-plugs, they bonk into an error.
Says...
The thread below never explained how this was resolved or maybe didn't match
my issue of the settings (upper-lower limits) already being correct.
Thank you.

Thank you, I'll give it a try. I have never changed any of those settings
though and nobody else had access to the device. Unless the device was shipped
with these settings.
Since the Wouxoun has the same problem, I wonder where this setting is
coming from as I didn't set it - makes no sense to restrict your own device.
Somebody changed them from the factory defaults (typically VHF Low: 130, VHF
High: 179 and UHF Low: 400, UHF High: 520) to VHF Low: 100, VHF High 199, UHF
Low: 200, UHF High 999. It was the UHF Low: 200 that was causing the issue.
Baofeng UV-5R/UV-82 like radios send the band limits to CHIRP as part of
cloning initialization process. That is what CHIRP uses to determine if it is
programming a VHF/UHF model or a (now rare) VHF/220 model. Older radios always
send the factory band limits. Some of the newer radios will update what is set
back to CHIRP based on what the user may have changed the band limits to. On
the models that do this, setting the lower UHF band limit anywhere from 200-299
will cause CHIRP to thing it is working with a VHF/220 model that doesn't
support UHF frequencies.
I thought about changing it band limits back to factory but opted to keep the
same range and just move the split.
