I dug out my Kenwood TH-F6a and charged it. It is the only live-mode radio that I have. When I try to download from it stops with this message:
Error communicating with radio 'utf-8' codec can't decide byte 0x80 in position 2: invalid start byte
Get used to it, this is the classic "driver has something non-py3-compatible inside" message. Most of the kenwood live radios share the same set of code, so I'm surprised the F6A doesn't just work, but I'll have to go digging in there to see what it's doing differently. Glad to know you have one so you can test it :)
