[chirp_users] Has the QYT KT-8900 patch been add to version 20160415

[Ceh]

I am still having problems downloading from my QYT KT-8900 using Linux version 20160415.

I started chirpw from a terminal screen and this is what displayed after trying to download.

(process:10948): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
    Using the fallback 'C' locale.
WARNING: Short reading 20 bytes from the 21 requested.
ERROR: -- Exception: --

The last few lines displayed using the utility dmesg follows.

[98972.129196] usb 4-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0


This is the cable I received with the radio so I believe it is the factory programming cable and it works with the factory software on Windows XP but is very clumsy to use.

thanks for any replies
