Description
Hi,
I'm trying to read/write my Baofeng UV-6R (Ver: HDBF230) with latest CHIRP version (chirp-next-20230629), and I get always this error message at the begin using download from radio function.
Cable and driver seem not the problem because the work perfectly with UV-6R stock program (UV6R_Setup_EN_V1_10) and with another UV-5R radio (with CHIRP and with its stock program also).
Any suggest to solve the issue?
Thanks a lot.
Regards

I'm not sure what the differences are between CHIRP-next and CHIRP-legacy, but I downloaded CHIRP-legacy and was able to read/write to my UV-6R.
As a work-around using CHIRP-legacy works, albeit this does not resolve my issue of not being able to use CHIRP-next to read/write to my UV-6R.

Tried with Chirp-legacy, It works without issue. Thanks a lot

- Status changed from New to In Progress
- Assignee set to Jim Unroe
- Target version set to chirp-py3
I have replicated this error with my UV-6R. This was caused by fix for UV-9R like radios. I will be working on it.
In the mean time just fall back to CHIRP-next 20230613.

Thanks a lot.

This is a new issue and really should have a new ticket opened. The info that you have provided should help to track down the problem. Thanks.

I located the issue and think I have a solution. After I validate that it works, I will submit a patch.
