[chirp_users] Chirp Data transfer

[Ken Simpson, W8EK]

I tried turning off the FIFO buffers on my main computer, and using 
the real 9 pin serial cable on Com 1, I got the following in the bedug 
file:

Log initialized
Clone thread started
000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00   ........

-- Exception: --
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "chirpui\clone.pyo", line 217, in run
   File "chirp\yaesu_clone.pyo", line 178, in sync_in
   File "chirp\yaesu_clone.pyo", line 69, in clone_in
   File "chirp\yaesu_clone.pyo", line 44, in chunk_read
   File "serial\serialwin32.pyo", line 212, in read
CloneCancelledException
------
Clone failed:
Clone thread ended


That is slightly different than the one on the laptop with the USB 
cable, but not much.  Again it is progress over just "Log initialized".


Thanks.

73,

Ken, W8EK
