Good Day,

Using Chirp with RT22 is frustrating for me.

Initially I can read and write the radio a few times, but  eventually get the dreaded “Radio Identification Failed”.

Three radios are bricked now and I am aware of Bug # 6747, although unable to understand the process to correct.

Using CHIRP daily-20211207

Thank You

Steve
