[chirp_users] Icom IC-V82

Thanks. 

I'll try a different driver.  It's not a once-off; it happens every time.

Cheers

Peter

Chirp uses the same source code on every operating system, so we can rule out Chirp code as the source of this issue. What differs between operating systems is the USB serial driver. My guess the driver you have installed in OS X is not 100% compatible with the chip in your cable and the software and your cable stopped communicating partway through the transfer. I don't know much about your cable, but you might look into installing a different driver.

If it only happened once, it's also possible this was a transient error that you'll never see again (maybe a dirty connection to the radio).
