So I get one of those Radioddity QB25 radios. I was so glad to see that Chirp supports it!
When I choose "Download from Radio," I can select Radioddity and QB25. When I select "OK," the display shows QYT and KT7900D the Radio Identification is successful about 1/3 through the 'cloning' this error occurs... Invalid header at block x1180 What is the process for programing this radio?
Thank you!

Hi Gary,
You didn't provide any details about your setup. Assuming you are using Windows and probably purchased the programming cable from Radioddity, I would imaging that this is a driver issue. If the programming cable with manufactured with a counterfeit Prolific chip, you must download, install and select the Prolific v3.2.0.0 device driver. The driver automatically installed by Windows is intentionally incompatible with counterfeit Prolific chips.
This page has a link to the driver and instructions for installing it: http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php
I have multiple Prolific driver versions installed and switch between then a will to test for counterfeit Prolific type chips. Nearly all programming cables that identify themselves to Windows as having a Prolific chip in them is made with the counterfeit chip. I keep the v3.2.0.0 driver selected for daily use because it works for both the unauthorized chip copy as well as the rare genuine Prolific chip.
