[chirp_users] VX5 trouble

[Dan Smith]

Fair warning: I have never laid hands on a VX-5. I wrote the driver
purely in speculation and have had reports that it works.

Perhaps the driver is not properly setting some used/empty bit?

If this happened and then you were able to upload/download it again
later, I think it was probably an intermittent cable/connection issue,
or some stale data in the serial buffer.

Does this mean add memory 1 where it didn't exist before? If so, that
blows my theory above out of the water.

If I were you, I'd start downloading images, making small changes,
downloading more images and doing the binary diff dance. I can do it for
you, but it's much (much) harder to do so without hands on the radio. I
can help you through it on IRC if you like :)
