Description
h2. 1. What is the behavior you are seeing?
The radio doesn't respond to chirp, the error is:
An error has occured Radio did not respond
I get this in the terminal where i started chirp:
Clone thread started
''
-- Exception: --

----------------------------
I did not find a debug.log, looking at the source i assume this is the same.
h2. 2. What is the behavior you were expecting?
I was expecting a nice filling up of the tab with the radio data, so i can flash it back. :)
h2. 3. Can you reproduce the problem all the time?
Yes.
h2. 4. What are the steps required to reproduce the problem?
Connect a Baofeng UV-5R radio to a Debian Wheezy laptop using a "Kenwood/Wouxun cable".
Power up the radio.
Choose "Download from Radio" in the Radio menu, with port /dev/ttyUSB0, Vendor Baofeng et Model UV-5R.
h2. 5. Is this specific to a certain radio model (driver) or something that you can reproduce with another radio?
I am happy to say chirp looks fine with my Wouxun KG-UVD1P.
