John,

Are you sure you have a working programming cable? We aren't aware of
any issues of downloading from the BTECH radios with CHIRP when using
Windows. I have none here with my various preproduction, gen1, gen2
and gen3 radios. So there isn't likely to be any changes to future
builds that would help you.

Load CHIRP, attempt a download, close CHIRP and grab the debug.log
file and attach it here (or email it to me) so we can see what
is/isn't happening. The "How to report issues" page on the CHIRP
website will show you how to find the debug.log file.
