Description

Installed latest build (20171104) and tried to re-flash memory with correct contents.

Was able to read and edit memory contents without any problem. But, when I tried to re-write the contents back into the radio; it starts to write, the progress bar moves to the right like normal and the radio displays cloning info. The write appears to complete but then the radio displays Clone Error and an error message pops up on the screen saying that there was a write error. At this point all memory contents of the radio has been erased. The only way I could fix the problem was to boot up a Windows system and re-write the exact same file that I was using on the Mac into the radio. Everything worked fine after that. I am using a GoGear FTDI USB to RS-232 adaptor. I tried to re-install the latest drivers for the adapter, no change. Note: in my environment, Chirp will not work with a Prolific USB to RS-232 adaptor.

The previous version I was using was a build from July and macOS Sierra, which was working just fine. I did not try to run it with the older build and High Sierra (assumed that it would port over from Sierra just fine).

Everything worked fine after that.

Changed title for clarity.

Chirp code is identical on all operating systems. What differs between operating systems is the USB serial drivers. It sounds like the driver you have installed for your cable in OS X is buggy. You might check for updates from the manufacturer.
