Is there a possibility that you could use Portmon or some similar software to capture a download using the factory software? At the very least, would you attach a CHIRP debug.log containing the error?

Piotr,

Thanks for the logs. It seems that the radio is identified OK and the download begins without a problem, but eventually it gets to a point where the radio does not reply with the requested block. It did not happen at the same point of both logs. I'm thinking the radio is barely ready to receive the next block request after sending the previous one and after awhile a request is eventually missed.

Enable "Enable developer functions" in the Help menu and then use the "Load Module" function in the File menu to load the attached driver file and then try a download.

If successful, attach your CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file.

If it fails, attach another set of debug.log file.

Thank you for the CHIRP serial port logs. I was just requesting that you send CHIRP serial port logs when they appeared from you. I will study them.

I think I understand what the problem is (the VGC radio has the same "double command" bug as the the BTech radio, the effect of the bug is different). I don't know how to work around this difference yet.

If I am correct, the attached concept driver should download from the VGC radio. Test it and report back.
