Description

So I have read through several threads that seemed similar, and I am having the same problem. Differences from other items I have read:

Problem: BF-F8+ running FW BFB297 and chirp says "ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: Radio did not respond ---"

1) The baofeng cable & chirp is used OK with chirp with UV-5RA
2) The TYT cable & chirp is used OK with chirp TH-9800 mobile
3) When I attempt to download from radio (BF-F8+ w/ FW BFB297) the red LED comes on for a millisecond or two, and it resets itself. By this time, I have already received the error on console.
4) After it resets itself, I have confirmed that tx/rx and other functions still work as expected (manual entry)... so it's not bricked! (phew)

I dabble in python but can code solidly in other languages (C++/Java/PHP/Perl) so if there's some troubleshooting I can do to help, please let me know. The radio is new, so I still have a fallback on my 5RA for now. TIA
