No, I only saw the TX msg displayed after applying your patch.

    blocks = 0
    pos = 0
    for block in radio._block_lengths:
        blocks += 1
        if blocks != len(radio._block_lengths):
            #print "Sending %i-%i" % (pos, pos+block)
            pipe.write(radio.get_mmap()[pos:pos+block])
            buf = pipe.read(1)
            if buf and buf[0] != chr(CMD_ACK):
                buf = pipe.read(block)
            if not buf or buf[-1] != chr(CMD_ACK):
                if blocks == 0:
                    raise Exception(_("Radio did not ack first block\n")
                             + radio._START_CLONE_RX_MSG)
                else :
                    raise Exception(_("Radio did not ack block %i") % blocks)

Looks to me like blocks is incremented before the ACK (not after).
That would explain why I never saw the message. With no radio
connected, the error I get is "Radio did not ack block 1".
