Description

i am trying to program a QYT KT8900D with chirp but it throws an error every time i try. I have the newest version of chirp. The issue is I connect my cable to the radio and then i select my radio and hit download. It then says "Error communicating with radio" and under that it says, " Short read of the block 0x0000." then it turns the radio off.

I meant to add - my radio is identing as "VC8192", which was most recently added to the btech.py driver. Though we ARE getting a positive ident.
