[chirp_users] Download problem

[Gerald Stein]

Mark,

I’ve had the cable for a long time, but never really used it. As best I can recall, it was a cheap cable. I’m inclined to just find a good replacement. Can you recommend a good  source for quality cables?

Thanks.

Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.

The build I am using is the most recent available. Here’s the problem: I connected the radio to the laptop and uploaded the radio’s contents without problem. I made some changes to the repeaters listed, saved the changes,  and then tried to download them back to the radio. The download started normally, but quickly the following error message appeared: “failed to communicate with radio: radio did not respond.” Any suggestions?
