I am writing to tell you that I am having problems with the vx-8 software, and to ask if you have a solution that could help me. I originally had a us version vx-8. It worked fine with your software. your software The vx-8 was then modded. It still worked great with your software. Then I sent it out to yesea to be up graded. When i got it back it did not work with your software. I re-modded it with still no luck. I can not even read the radio. The Message I get it the radio identifier expected was X'4148303239' but the identifier actually recieved was X'4148323944'

Yeah, unfortunately, the memory format has changed a little and I don't have a VX-8DR to use to sniff it out. Hopefully someone will let me borrow one at some point to get it added.
Thanks!

I have a VX-8DR (a retail purchased, not a factory updated) and I am able to download/upload to the radio. Timing the start is a bit tricky, not sure if that's just a normal characteristic though. Sometimes on downloading Chirp will say it's an unknown file format but usually if I redo the download it will work.
Most of the fields are correctly handled. Only one I've ran across that isn't is the skip flags.

Original poster, are you still having trouble with this? It seems like it should in fact work for the 8DR, can you verify?

Comment:
Hmm, the suffix shouldn't affect anything in that area. However, things have changed enough since the original posting, and several other people are using the VX8 driver now, I think I'll close this bug now.
Thanks!
