Use a Mac to program BF-888 and UV-82 radios. All works well in downloading and uploading programming to radios, however after programming the BF-888 and I shutdown CHIRP my Mac becomes unresponsive to keyboard input. Computer will not shutdown or restart. I have to do a hard shutdown on the computer to reset everything. When I program the UV-82 the computer behaves itself when I close CHIRP and I encounter no problems.

Ken,

I don't have a BF-888S, but I started looking at the driver a couple of days ago based on some issues reported to me by my friend John (he has one). The one thing that I noticed yesterday was the h777.py driver reads the settings from the image files that I have, but it for some reason does not save the changes back to the image file.

I mentioned this to John and he reported back this morning that the changes made in CHIRP don't get written to the radio either. He mentioned that the progress bar goes to about 25% then skips to 80% and then continues to the end. I'm not sure what the problem is, but something is certainly amiss.

I would suggest that you open an issue. Include an image file and a debug.log file if you can.
