<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=019240800-06112015>I get an
error message on write even though the radios says "PASS". The error
message is " An error has occurred. Failed to communicate with
radio. 'Serial' object has not attribute 'read'." I did a full
reset, downloaded and installed the latest Chirp version and it still says the
same thing. I am running Windows 7. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=019240800-06112015>The other
strange thing the radio does now is that it shows empty channels with the
VFO contents and the 'M' blinking when in the memory mode. That hasn't
happened before. There is nothing in the menu settings related to this and I
cannot find anything regarding this new feature in the
manual. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
