To close this thread out... after reading through a few other Chirp drivers I noticed some striking similarities with the Retevis RB18. I was able to successfully clone the radio using that driver; however, there are some things that don't quite match (like the number of channels). I'm going to pursue an adaption of the RB18 driver for the Baofeng BF-C50 and will move any follow up questions to the chirp_devel list.

My ongoing tests here: https://github.com/emuehlstein/baofeng_bfc50

Thanks!

Thanks Jim and Paul.

I did try Wireshark (that'd be my preference) but there's an issue that prohibits me from using it in the Win11 ARM VM and another issue that preventing me from using it on the MacOS host.

I made some more progress yesterday (in my Github). I'm going to keep hacking at it and maybe borrow a friend's Windows laptop to get it done.

Have you tried Wireshark?
