Just to make sure we're clear, Chirp uses the opposite definitions of<br>
upload and download. In Chirp, the first step is to click "Download<br>
from Radio." Then modify your channels. Then "Upload to Radio."<br>
<br>
Has your radio ever been modified for out of band transmit? Is the<br>
image you're trying to upload from another VX5 that was modded? A<br>
mismatch of region bits is one thing that causes a clone error.<br>
<br>
A little background: Yaesu uses an extremely primitive programming<br>
protocol. It simply sends all the bytes and hopes for the best. This<br>
is why there is no error reported in Chirp--there's no mechanism in<br>
the protocol for receiving an error report from the radio. The only<br>
error handling opportunity is to watch the radio's display and<br>
manually retry if needed.<br>
<br>
As far as tweaking Chirp's code to resolve this, the only real<br>
opportunity there is to add some extra time between bytes.<br>
