Description
Hello,
I get the error "Radio Identification Failed" from a newly purchase Radioddity QB25.
I see from past reported issues on this radio, that the issue might be due to an updated MCU-Version.
Version: VC4254
I included the debug.log
I'm running chirp-daily-20200807

Hi Dave,
Thank you for checking for other issues first and then providing everything needed to resolve this issue.
Give this custom driver module a test and let me know if it works. If it does, I will submit it as a formal patch. Here is how you use it to program your radio until support is officially added to CHIRP.
1 Save "btech_VC4254.py" to a convenient location
2 Click "Help" in the menu bar and enable "Enable Developer Functions
3 Click "File" in the menu bar and choose "Load Module"
4 Locate and load the custom driver module saved in step 1
That's it. Now you should be able to download from and upload to your radio.
Note: This test driver module does not permanently change your CHIRP installation in any way. If you close CHIRP, you will have to load this custom driver module again before you can clone your radio.
I am looking forward to your feedback.

Hi Jim,
I loaded that module you uploaded and it worked fine.
I was able to download and load from the QB25.
From Log: Positive ident, this is a Radioddity QB25
Not that you asked for it, but I did include the debug log after I applied your test driver and modified the data on the QB25.
Hope to see this applied to CHIRP soon.
Thanks for the help,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the quick feedback. I have submitted the patch. We are now waiting for it to be accepted.
With the current Covid 19 situation, it can take some time between submitting a patch and having it accepted into a new CHIRP daily build. So in the mean time, keep using the temporary driver module. Once a new build is released that includes the patch, you will no longer need the driver module and you can disable "Enable Developer Functions".
