Hi, I'm trying to download an img file from my radio trough chirpc but with no luck. It keeps telling me that the radio is not connected. I tested this in the gui and everything worked fine so it's not a bad cable. I'm on windows python 3.10 and using the latest build from github. Listing radios does work trough chirpc --list-radios.
DELAY = 5.0 MAX_RETRIES = 5 RETRY_BACKOFF = 2
