I'm guessing the model detection code isn't working right in the TH-7800 and TH-9800 drivers. I will see if I can fix that.

William, can you provide your debug log? If my theory is correct, I think you can temporarily work around the issue by ensuring TH-9800 is selected before you try to do an upload or download to/from your radio. I'm guessing CHIRP has selected TH-7800 instead. Once I fix the model match code you won't have to do that anymore.

Ignore my last suggestion to force the model - it doesn't work. I just submitted a patch to fix the issue. I was able to reproduce the issue locally without either radio by:
1) Run chirp
2) Load TH-9800 from tests/images/TYT_TH-9800.img
3) Select Radio->"Upload to Radio"

The model incorrectly shows as TH-7800. TYT TH-7800 files identify as TYT TH-7800. This is because the code in both drivers is not specific enough.

Unfortunately, TYT chose to use "TH9800" as a model name for both radios: TH-7800 and TH-9800. Maybe other TH-7800 owners have something different? I used the band-limit registers to determine what model it really was. I also added a check for TH9800 or TH7800 in the TH-7800 model check in case TYT fixes this at some time or users update it in their own radios with the OEM software. Hopefully that will be more robust.
