Yes
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.

Confirming the same issue. Attaching my debug output here.
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.
This is also affecting macOS.
Using cable that came from radio.
Radio turns off after read fail.
Original software radio info:
- Model: kt-890
- MCU-Version: VC8192
- Band-A: 130-179
- Band-B: 200-270
- Band C: 400-520
- Band-D: 350-390

I've also included serial port caps
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.
