Is Ubuntu 16.4 the latest that works well with Chirp? I may stick with that if there are problems with Chirp and the OSs that use Python 3.

Once I got chirpwx running I tried to clone my UV5R and got "ERROR: Failed to clone: Failed to communicate with radio: can't concat str to bytes", but there's no stack trace or anything to tell me where the error is occurring and "Failed to communicate with radio" occurs in many modules. It's sad to such a good piece of software fall into such disarray. It's not in the default debian, ubuntu, or fedora repos anymore, nor do the installation instructions on the website work. Are patches welcome for the py3 branch? I can try to dig into why the cloning is crashing. I see https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/495 but I don't know if I'll be duplicating work of if I can help in any other way.
