[chirp_users] MARS Mod VX-5 Clone Error
Pre-mod I was able to read and write to my VX-5 via CHIRP. Post mod, the radio functions perfectly, but CHIRP no longer plays nice. Read from radio works, but trying to upload to radio fails halfway through with "Clone Error" message on the VX-5 Display and all memories on the HT deleted.
Mod performed was to de-solder a jumper on the VX-5 board. Again, radio operates perfectly, but won't talk to CHIRP any longer
Suggestions?
I most cloning processes, you'll have to read from the radio first to get the 'profile' of the radio, then import the frequencies from a previous file.

This is true. Make sure you aren't uploading the old img.
With the VX5, I get "Clone Error" often both before and after applying the soft mod with Eve. This was with a laptop and usb-serial converter. I switched to a desktop that has a real serial port and the problems decreased significantly. The Yaesus are really picky about timing.
