Would love to get the issue figured out. What can I do to help?

Nont sure if this helps but I am using a MAXTOP usb programming cable with FTDI FT23rl chip

Trent,
Your radio doesn't appear to be responding to the clone request. Are you sure that it is the correct programming cable? In other words, does it work with the OEM software?

Hello Jim,
Thanks for taking a look.The answer to your question is Yes and No. Using the program software from the Miklor site I was unable to get it to work using the jt-6188 software package (UC_CPS), but it does work with the Kt-8900 software(UV2BAND_E_CPS).
i'm attaching a screen shot of my cables driver setting. Thanks for the help.

Trent,
Good. That rules out the programming cable being the issue. Have you tried the QYT KT-8900 in CHIRP yet?
Jim

Here are the results using the QYT-Profiles
KT8900 = Radio identification failed
KT8900R = Radio did not enter clone mode
KTUV980 = Radio did not enter clone mode

Trent,
Apparently your radio has an MCU-Version that is currently unknown to CHIRP. Try KT8900 again and then include the debug.log file.

I am not sure if this helps but here goes. When selecting the jt-6188 profile, I get the "radio did not enter clone mode" error but nothing happens to the radio. However when trying the kt8900 profile the radio power cycles briefly and then i get the "Radio identification failed error"

Yes, this helps. Also, you should be selecting JT-6188 Mini, not JT-6188 Plus.

Trent,
Please give this driver a test. Here's how.
1 download the test btech.py driver module and save it to a convenient place
2 load CHIRP
3 click "Help"
4 enable "Enable developer functions"
5 click "File"
6 click "Load Module"
7 located and load the driver module saved in step 1
Now try to download from your radio using the following:
VENDOR = "Juentai"
MODEL = "JT-6188 Mini"
Report back the results.

Hello Jim. I tried the btech.py driver again and still no luck. Just to clarify, My radio is the jt-6188plus not the mini. Unfortunately I do not see that in the above notes. However I have tried the procedure with the mini and plus profiles to no avail.
Updated by Trent morrison over 7 years ago
it worked, it worked it worked it worked.. i had tried a btech.py driver numerous times before to no avail and used the same btech driver that i found in another post tonight to the same result...noticed your driver was dated today and used the 6188 mini profile and it worked. I am super thankfull. Would you mind explaining to me what caused this issue. I'm fairly new to these radios and have found the process fascinating.

Trent,
With what limited research I have done, I cannot find any difference between the Mini and the Plus except for the name printed on the case. What matters is that your radio responds to the request to begin cloning the same way as a QYT KT8900.
I have submitted a patch to add the "M2G314" fingerprint (what the OEM software calls the MCU-Version) so that CHIRP will now recognize the response from your radio. You can choose one of these aliases to program your radio.
VENDOR = "Juentai"
MODEL = "JT-6188 Mini"
VENDOR = "Sainsonic"
MODEL = "GT-890"
VENDOR = "Zastone"
MODEL = "MP-300"
Or the main selection that the above are an alias of.
VENDOR = "QYT"
MODEL = "KT8900"
The "JT-6188 Plus" selection is an alias of the WACCOM "MINI-8900" which your radio does not respond to.

I would like to add my confirmation of success in programming Juentai jt-6188Plus following these instructions and using py file referenced on this page. Thanks for the great work.

I just received the Juentai JT-6188 Plus through Amazon. The Juentai JT-6188 Plus did not work for me (shows as WACOM 8900) but the JT-6188 Mini did (shows as QYT KT8900).

What is the exact error message? Attach the debug.log file.
