[chirp_devel] Pipe Isochronous Transfers

[Rick DeWitt]

It appears I need the isochronous mode. I've tried all possible combos 
of xonxof, rtscts and the unused dsrdtr.
I've got the baudrate, parity, bytesize and stopbits set so that my dump 
command is properly sent and echoed.
At that point the radio begins an un-synched dump of all memory; which 
the port buffer ignores. I've tried single and multiple byte reads, 
repeating the dump command, etc.
I use the same port settings for the upload, which is 1-byte at a time, 
and they work fine.

The original programming s/w (ScanCatLite) also has this problem! It 
trips a timeout after commanding the download.
I have tried some obvious non-dump download command strings, but no joy yet.

FYI: The download/dump mode is intended to allow you to clone from one 
radio to another.
