<font size="-1">Hey Tom,<br>
<br>
Just a FYI but I tried the last few versions of Chirp on my
Centos6 machine with PySerial and I kept getting the following
when trying to download a Kenwood TH-F6A radio:<br>
--<br>
./chirpw<br>
Traceback (most recent call last):<br>

"/home/archive/Chirp/chirp-hg-e3b90fa8c316/chirp/ui/mainapp.py",

ispeed = ospeed = getattr(termios,
'B{}'.format(self._baudrate))<br>
ValueError: zero length field name in format<br>
--<br>
<br>
I then installed Python-Serial and things started to work. So..
it seems this backward compatibility has become broken.<br>

<pre wrap="">Yes, I made an effort to keep it backwards-compatible. I tested
against the version in the kk7ds runtime for OS X, as I figured this
would be the most difficult thing to upgrade in the Chirp ecosystem.</pre>

Ok.. great! I'll give a test with my various radios to make sure
they work with my TH-F6A (one of the drivers that it seems you've
updated so far).<br>
