<p>I have a S, gave up with chirp on that. it was getting memorys all mixed up . radio has 2 banks. its own app with same cable is ok, but just not very good.</p>
<p>the radio is naf too as well, later version but sometimes glitches so on scan it dont stop on a signal until a re-upload.</p>
<p><br>

<div dir="ltr">I have had success with a VV-898 on Elementary OS (Ubuntu derivative). It appears, based on your debug line, that there is an invalid UTF-8 character floating around. I've worked on some drivers, and have looked at the leixen driver a little.
I'm not sure if that is a bug in the driver or if the radio allows something non-standard to be programmed in via the menu interface. Are you able to run chirp from the terminal and get any additional error messages? Try posting that and I'll look at the driver
to see what I can find. You should probably file a bug report.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How many channels have you programmed? Is it feasible to reset and try a download with memory or two programmed? Is it possible to download from one of the new radios to get a clean image (to see if any download is possible, or you still get errors)? Those
are some things I would try to troubleshoot the issue.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If that doesn't point us to a solution, you can try using the OEM software. I tried running it with Wine on linux without success (and without too much investigation). You can try Wine on your Mac or just use Windows if you have access. Another option
would be running CHIRP on a live linux usb drive.</div>
