[chirp_users] Radioddity QB25

[Byron Boggs]

I once again contacted Radioddity Support.  He installed the factory software, set it up for me and then set up Chirp for me.  I have my radio programmed.
He said to open the factory software first, then open Chirp as the Administrator and it works.  I does work.

I have tried other variants of this radio like the QTY7900.  I have tried Windows 10 and an old laptop with Windows XP.  Same error message on either operating system.  Searching through requests I see others have experienced the same issue.  I have clicked on the post for that issue but it doesn't do anything and I am at a loss as to what I need to do.  I have used Chirp to program the little UV5R units without issue.

Assuming that your radio's MCU-version is VC4114, today's CHIRP daily
build should allow it to be recognized.
