[chirp_users] MacOS daily-20170501 repeatable crash
I just installed chirp-daily-20170501.app to try. I am attempting to copy setups from one Leixen VV-898E radio into several others.
However, a fraction of a second after the screen fills with the data from the radio, Chirp unexpectedly quits, and I'm given the opportunity to send a report to Apple.
My system is:
Macbook Air 11" (MacBookAir6,1) MacOS X 10.11.6 (15G1421) 4GB RAM
The last line in .chirp/debug.log reads: /Users/username/Applications/chirp-daily-20170501.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/chirp/chirpw:143: PangoWarning: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text() gtk.main()
I'm using the osx-pl2303-installer.pkg for my serial driver. This is currently the only radio for which I have a programming cable.
Ideas?
Just to ping the group again:
Has anybody out there had recent luck programming the Leixen VV-898E using a recent build of Chirp on MacOS?

I believe that I have had success with a VV-898 on Windows 10. Just make sure if your cable shows to be a Prolific, use driver 3.2.0.0.

I have had success with a VV-898 on Elementary OS (Ubuntu derivative). It appears, based on your debug line, that there is an invalid UTF-8 character floating around. I've worked on some drivers, and have looked at the leixen driver a little. I'm not sure if that is a bug in the driver or if the radio allows something non-standard to be programmed in via the menu interface. Are you able to run chirp from the terminal and get any additional error messages? Try posting that and I'll look at the driver to see what I can find. You should probably file a bug report.
How many channels have you programmed? Is it feasible to reset and try a download with memory or two programmed? Is it possible to download from one of the new radios to get a clean image (to see if any download is possible, or you still get errors)? Those are some things I would try to troubleshoot the issue.
If that doesn't point us to a solution, you can try using the OEM software. I tried running it with Wine on linux without success (and without too much investigation). You can try Wine on your Mac or just use Windows if you have access. Another option would be running CHIRP on a live linux usb drive.

I have a S, gave up with chirp on that. it was getting memorys all mixed up . radio has 2 banks. its own app with same cable is ok, but just not very good.
the radio is naf too as well, later version but sometimes glitches so on scan it dont stop on a signal until a re-upload.
its abandoned now, got a 8900d 4 vfo cheepy radio and thats great on chirp along with my other radios :-)
