Ken,

I don't have a BF-888S, but I started looking at the driver a couple of
days ago based on some issues reported to me by my friend John (he has
one). The one thing that I noticed yesterday was the h777.py driver reads
the settings from the image files that I have, but it for some reason does
not save the changes back to the image file.

I mentioned this to John and he reported back this morning that the changes
made in CHIRP don't get written to the radio either. He mentioned that the
progress bar goes to about 25% then skips to 80% and then continues to the
end. I'm not sure what the problem is, but something is certainly amiss.

I would suggest that you open an issue. Include an image file and a
debug.log file if you can.
