Description

I have reviewed redmine ticket 1957 and the rejected ticket 2471

CHIRP recognizes both my UV-82 and also my UV-5R. I have to agree with the person in ticket 2471, if 997-S is a variant, it's one that isn't recognized easily in either Windows or Linux.

I can clone the image from UV-82 just fine. Provided screenshots as proof of process. However, with the 997-S, I get 'radio did not respond' error on 'copy from / clone' when trying to upload the current radio image to CHIRP.

I read your notes on the web that the 997-S is a variant, to wit, I tested it against my own UV-5R;

1) Both UV-82 and UV-5R clone fine
2) 997-S gives "Radio Did Not Respond"

Per the dictates of testing, I repeated the process so as to rule out any other condition that has already been stated in regards to 997-S and CHIRP being able to read the radio both here and on the internet.

By the way, I am using a OEM supplied prolific chip based USB cable (not the cheap programming cable), so that is now officially ruled out as the issue (also the cable works with both the UV-82 and UV-5R in a non windows environment). I switched from the standard Ubuntu repository issue/version of CHIRP, and set my PPA to daily so I could see if that fixed the issue, it did not.

Let me know your suggestions, I'll follow them and we'll see if we can get this radio working with CHIRP so others can enjoy both the radio and the program.
