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.

Confirming this problem is still present in the 20250404 build. I'd really like to help get this fixed, but unfortunately my python environment is messed up and I can't get the Wheel to work for testing the latest build. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do help debug this, thanks.
