CHIRP

CHIRP LOGS

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.

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.

I've been out of town.

I see I forgot to remark out a section of code that is needed for the UV50X3 but is not compatible with the VF-6600 Pro.

Try this.

OK!

I assume you are telling me the upload failed. I'll look into it.

If the upload failed, I will need a serial capture of the failed CHIRP upload. A debug.log file would also be useful.

I am attaching a rough concept of the code that should download successfully from both the BTech and VGC radios. It does work with my UV-50X3.

Also, I need to know if the VR-6600PRO has the 220 MHz band or not. I'm thinking it is a dual-band radio.

OK. I believe I have resolved the upload issue. Please test uploading. Download should still work but it continues to be a work in progress.

The upload goes along fine then all of the sudden your radio returns a bad ACK. Here is a little more delay added between blocks.

Sorry, closed prematurely. Jim/Piotr, is this complete?
