Bug #9896
closedBtech GMRS-V1 error
0%
Description
Downloaded the latest Chirp software and attempted to "Download from Radio" on my new Btech GMRS-V1 radio. Receive error - "Unexpected error communicating with the radio". I attempted this process numerous times on different serial ports.
As a test, I tried switching to GMRS-V2 and the cloning process starts and then received an error - "Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want".
I tested the cable and software with my Baofeng BF-F8HP radio and the software worked fine. Using Windows 10.

I have the same error "Unexpected error communicating with the radio". Latest Daily (20220531) Flatpak on Linux.
Different radio Baofeng UV-9G.
Error occurs on upload or download.
Switched to UV-9R and got "Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want".
Reverted to 20220515 and everything is working again.

Thanks to Josh Wilson, I took his recommendation and reverted to 20220515 and the GMRS-V1 is working!

Nothing should have changed regarding the GMRS-V1. Upgrade to the latest again, cause the error and then attach the debug.log file.

I encountered this same error with my GMRS V1. I have attached a copy of the debug.log file.

I have been able to replicate the problem. It appears to exist across all supported operating systems. It is also broken for the GMRS-V2 so I also expect it is broken for all radio models that are supported by the baofeng_common.py driver module.

This merge from github ("Revision 3688":https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/repository/revisions/8fbeae0f94d6) was the culprit. My understanding is that this change is expected to be reverted later today and a new build without the change will be available soon (possibly as soon as tomorrow).

That's the merge commit, but the merged patch r3684 is the actual culprit. And yeah, I'm reverting now and will push for a build tomorrow.

Today's build (CHIRP daily-20220602) has corrected the issue with the affected radios.
