See now, something just looks wrong there.... If I'm reading the debug 
right that should be the first line the radio spits out and all 0's 
isn't correct at all.  There pretty well has to be a communication 
problem of some kind here...

Looking at the exceptions it is hard to tell, but I'm guessing a serial 
port driver issue of some kind.  Perhaps use google and get a new driver 
for your usb cable? Try with the serial port one and lowering the buffer 
value?

Honestly I'm not exactly sure what is going on, I am significantly 
lacking experience using chirp on windows and this seems like a windows 
driver or windows python issue.

Maybe try the last daily build?
