Do you have a computer running Linux? I downloaded a CHIRP image and put it on a bootable USB drive that was made bootable with UBINIT, and now I restart my laptop to boot from the USB drive. When the program comes up the UV-5R list is downloaded, modified with your choices and loaded back up to the UV-5R. I guess the UV-82 would be similar. Probably a Windows(TM) machine would be easier, though.
