Nevermind, interestingly, on my radio you just plug the cable in, typical instructions say to hold down the PTT button when powering on, if I do that it doesn't work. But if I just turn it on, plug in the cable, Chirp works perfectly for me, maybe it's a new feature, who knows?

PTT while powering up the radio enters firmware flash mode.
Actually this error is so common that i might add a check for it.
