Bug #11447
openQYT KT-8900D identification fails.
0%
Description
I just purchased a new KT-8900D to replace one that stopped working. When I attempt to read the radio, I get an error message. This happens with both Chirp Next and Chirp Legacy.
The label on the old KT-8900D which I was able to program had the following:
Frequency: 144-148MHz 430-440MHz
CMIT ID: 2018FP3590
SN: 1910152471
The label on the new KT-8900D has the following: Frequency: 136-174MHz 400-480MHz
There is no CMIT ID
Serial Number is 1803161499
I have tried all the QYT radio variants. None of them work.
What I did:
Attach programming cable to Data port
Attempt to read from radio.
Expected behavior: Chirp reads radio and displays data from radio
Actual behavior: Received error message, "Radio Identification Failed" and then the radio shuts down. No data is displayed.
No .img file because I cannot get one.

Hello,
I meet the same problem.
I see in the debug file that identification returned by the KT-8900D is "KT-890", which is not what expected by Chirp. I imagine it's a bug in the new QYT firmware, but prevents Chirp from working with this TX.
And yes, I have the very last version of Chirp, under Windows 11, which works perfectly otherwise (Quansheng, etc...).

Isn't possible to offer any help unless you provide the debug.log file.
