Bug #10514
openGA510 not responding to clone request
0%
Description
I'm attempting to program a new Radioddity GA510. Have downloaded the latest version of CHIRP and seated the cable (which came with the radio) firmly. When I try to "download from radio," I get a consistent error message: "RADIO DID NOT RESPOND TO CLONE REQUEST." (Note: the radio screen briefly displays a "program" icon before the error message appears on my computer screen.
The app is calling for USB-SERIAL (CH340) COM9, which appears to be functioning with current driver. I am using a PC running Windows 10.

This is almost definitely a radio connectivity issue (i.e. wrong serial port, radio turned off, cable not fully inserted). However, you might want to walk back to an older release (0409 or older) to see if that changed anything. There's a potential bug (#10515) in the latest release that could possibly be causing this for you, depending on your cabling.

This is definitly not a connectivity problem. This also happen when the old Radioddity tool (CPS) is used.
Theres a new GA510-Version which needs the new Radioddity tool due to new protocol.
So CHIRP should support the new type also.
Is there a way to analyze the traffic easily? I'll try it myself then.
Maybe try to sniff CPS comunication? What will be the best tool for that?

- I read the instructions above set to Yes

The radio was changed in a way that broke CHIRP support. According to issue #10600 which duplicates this ticket, the currently shipping radios don't work with to original factory CPS, either. They require a completely different CPS in order to program them.
A change this significant would require that a developer have physical access to one of these radios and the appropriate programming software.

Ok. I read the other issue. Seems no one is into it? I have a new radio, the new CPS software and I am able to program Python. Just need a way to sniff the communication. What is the best way here?

What I started out using was a program called Portmon. I had to give it up because it is limited to working 32-bit Windows 7 and older operating systems.
I did a lot of searching for a replacement. I found a free version that was limited to 5 sessions per day and only 20 minutes per session. After becoming sufficiently annoyed by these limitations I finally found and paid the $69 registration fee for a program called Serial Port Monitor. I have upgraded it a few time (they offer a 50% discount for upgrades) but eventually paid to get their lifetime upgrade plan so any future upgrades are free (I just upgraded it a few days ago).
Some say that Wireshark can do it. I looked at it a few times but have not been able to figure it out. This might be due to a laziness on my part since I already have a lot of money invested in something that is working well for me.
