I have a brand new UV-6 that I just received that won't allow me to perform a download. It gives a "Radio refused clone" error.
I have a known working cable. It's a Prolific "clone" but I know it works as I have used it on this computer and several others to program several different UV-5R's. I am using Ubuntu 13.10 with the latest daily build (20140413). The cable shows up on /dev/ttyUSB0 and my ID is a member of the dialout group (as I mentioned, I've used this combination of computer and cable with the UV-5R).
What happens is that it appears to be communicating initially to get the ident, but it gets a zero back for the 'ack' afterwards instead of the expected value of "\x06". At least that's what I'm gathering from reading the code. I've got years of experience as a developer, but only know enough Python to follow the broad outline of what is taking place (perhaps this will be my excuse to finally learn Python). I was able, though, to add a line of code to dump the ack value, which is how I found that it's zero.
I just wanted to check to see if anyone had seen this or knew of something I might be missing before I troubled the developers by opening a ticket.
Here is the output I'm getting (from stdout, as it doesn't seem to be creating a debug.log anywhere): (includes my extra line of output)
