<DIV>I've been trying to get the py3 branch to work, but it seems to not be
stable, as there are still many syntax errors. Once I got chirpwx running I
tried to clone my UV5R and got "ERROR: Failed to clone: Failed to communicate
with radio: can't concat str to bytes", but there's no stack trace or anything
to tell me where the error is occurring and "Failed to communicate with radio"
occurs in many modules.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It's sad to such a good piece of software fall into such disarray. It's not
in the default debian, ubuntu, or fedora repos anymore, nor do the installation
instructions on the website work.<BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Are patches welcome for the py3 branch? I can try to dig into why the
cloning is crashing. I see <A
href="https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/495">https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/495</A>
but I don't know if I'll be duplicating work of if I can help in any other
way.<BR></DIV>
