[chirp_users] Unable to read from QYT KT-8900

I have not been able to successfully read from my QYT KT-8900 radio I consistently receive the following message 'An error has occurred' 'Radio identification failed.' Note that this is with two different cables (one supplied with radio requiring older Prolific driver, and the other a brand new BTECH cable that I used without error to program my BTECH UV-2501+220). I am using the latest version of CHIRP (daily-20160507) build on a Windows 10 x64 system.

I get the same message with my 8900.

Make sure that the Device Manager shows that the port is working properly. It also shows which port to use. Download the latest CHIRP software. My KT8900 is now working properly with CHIRP. CHIRP daily-20160507 is what I am using.

I am not familiar with that radio but learned that my F8HP needs to be in Frequency mode vs Channel mode. Might be worth a look? On May 9, 2016 8:35 PM, "Larry Lovell" larry.lovell76@gmail.com wrote:

I had the same issue with my QYT KT-8900. I used the Sainsonic 890 radio setting and everything uploaded with no problem.

There is an experimental driver that was just provided in the KT8900 Yahoo Group. It works for my radio where it wasn't working before.

The testing of the dev driver is going very well, it will worth a try, I will include it on the daily Chirp in the following days.

Also I'm testing internally a new ALIAS feature recently implemented by Dan for managing the clones in a more user friendly manner.

The error about "Radio identification failed" rises when Chirp has managed to talk with the radio (hence the cable is ok) but Chirp is unable to effectively identify the radio model.
I'm very interested on the debug.log file from chirp after one of this errors (Search the chirp wiki to know where you can find this file.)
90% of the time this error means that we have a unknown radio variant on the wild, the solution is to make a serial capture of the download/upload process for me to analyze and include it on the current Chirp version.
Here you can find how to doit: how to portmon.doc http://chirp.danplanet.com/attachments/2257/how%20to%20portmon.doc past emails on the wiki has useful intel about tricks to run in if you have 64 bit only systems..
