CHIRP

Thank you for the debug.log file. Your KT8900 has an MCU version that CHIRP doesn't know about. I have created a test driver module to see if you can successfully download from your radio. Here is how you use it.

1. Download the kt8900_mcu_m27184.py test driver module and save it to a convenient location.

Note: Be sure to left-click the link and then click the download link near the top of the page that loads. Right-clicking the link to download the test driver module will not work.

1. Load CHIRP
2. Click Help in the menu bar and enable Enable Developer Functions
3. Click File -> Load Module to locate and load the test driver module that was saved in step 1

At this point CHIRP will have a red background to indicate that it is running with an external driver module loaded. With any luck, you should now be able to download from your radio. If successful, please save the newly created tab, unedited, to a CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file and attach it to this issue so I can use it for further development. If the download fails, close CHIRP and add the debug.log file for me to examine.

Thanks for the quick response Jim! and Yay, another new version of MCU LOL. Maybe we have the chip shortage to blame? Anyway, the driver seemed to work fine. I have attached the saved radio image.

Thanks for you help Ron. I will try to work up and submit a formal patch. In the mean time just use the temporary test driver module to program your radio.

Patch submitted. Support will be in the next CHIRP daily build following acceptance of the patch.
