I know it's bad form to reply to one's own emails, but I ran VX2 Commander 3 
more times.  First time 95%, second time 99%, and last time 100%.  Here's the 
short log from VX2 Commander:

Checksum OK. VX-2 data downloaded successfully!

The progress bar was a little jerky.  Should it be smooth?  Also, it took 
almost a minute.  Should it be faster?

My radio is still sitting showing 'TX' on the display.  After cloning is it 
supposed to go to normal operation, or show 'DONE' or 'FINISH' or 'OK' or 
something?  Or should I just turn it off?

I tried the cable *without* the diode, but it didn't work, so I'll keep it 
there for now.

Now that I have established communication I need to hack on chirp.  Remember, 
so far, all I have done is copied the VX7 code to VX2r, and verified the baud 
rate.  If I run it I get a progress bar (hooray!) then 31 seconds later an 
error:
Checksum Failed [0592-0610 (@0611)]

Progress.

73,
