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.
