Hi,

Update:
I've got the same error with Chirp 0.4 + Prolific drivers 1.8.12 + Usb cable bought on Ebay.

Best regards.

for prolific pl2303 and windows 7, you should be using the 3.2.0 version and nothing later will work with non-genuine pl2303.

3.4.xx tried unsuccessfully.
Downgrade to 3.2.0.
Problem still present.

attached a document from W1PA. I helped him diagnose and fix something which has similar symptoms.
Basically, you might have cable which isn't correct. Please see document, and update this ticket if it helps fix or not...

I've tried a different cable. Instead of USB, I've tried a regular RS232 cable.

The result is the same:

Failed to communicate with radio: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "chirp\ft90.pyo", line 323, in sync_in
File "chirp\ft90.pyo", line 265, in _clone_in
File "chirp\ft90.pyo", line 249, in _read
Exception: Unable to read blocknum 00 expected blocksize 4 got 1.

I've made a hard reset to the radio and I've made a new try. The result is the same.

The problem should be in Chirp software... no?
