CHIRP

Your debug log was not properly captured and so it has nothing useful inside. Please reproduce the problem and then capture the log, per How_To_Report_Issues.

Also, this radio was just recently reported as working with next, so I'm surprised to hear there are issues. Since it's behaving the same with legacy, and given the nature of the message, I'd suspect a new firmware version maybe. How old is the radio?

New radio, firmware is V1.2_210517

Yes, the same behavior even without loading the module.

Okay, thanks for confirming. I'm attaching a test module that changes the identification string to the one your radio is reporting. That should allow you to download from it. If so, please attach a debug log from doing so and the .img file you capture and save.

Then please look through and see if the default memories look correct. Go to the settings tab and note any errors that get displayed and/or any values that look very strange (non-printable characters, nonsense huge values for things that should be small, etc). Please note any of those things here.

Uploading back to the radio if everything looks good is at your own risk, but if nothing looks out of place, it's probably reasonable to expect it to be okay. I would test that before making any changes to any values to make sure that you can restore the radio to the backup you capture from the first download.

Error communicating with radio

Radio sent 54 bytes (expected 160)

Okay, yeah, that indicates that it's more than just the firmware string. The different firmware is actually behaving differently during the clone, basically like a totally different radio. Unfortunately that means it'll take a motivated developer with access to one of these newer radios to fix it. It's unfortunate that the chinese radio manufacturers continue to sell different radios under the same name to keep their search history alive.

So, I'll change this to a "new model" request so that if such a motivated developer shows up, they can use this to implement it.

Sorry!
