If I grep for "pring" in the files in the build directory for chirp-daily-20220515, it generates this output    /build/lib.linux-aarch64-2.7/chirp/drivers/vx6.py: pring(traceback.format_exc()) The problem is only with vx6.py. I'm behind in updates so this problem may have already been correct

Oh there also seems to be an unrecognized function named "pring" on line 826 of the vx6.py driver tarball I downloaded had hg hash f681fdfb94dd in the name. My other emails never came through from before but I did want to put that out there that that was in the logs. def get_settings(self):

All So I believe I have discovered the issue. I used my other FTDI USB to serial adapter which just has a simple pin header on it. I wired it up using a spare diode and 10k resistor for a pull up for single wire comm and it consistently works even in windows with the latest version of CHIRP. I to

Local hams around here that are avid MAC users all seem to have simple windows laptops/desktops just to run updates & other odd software that requires Windows. I have no issues w/ Windows, but I've used it for decades and supported it for a handful of years, so I do OK with it. I also run Mac &

There were even some Fake FTDI chips about a few years ago. In Windows, use the Device Manager to view the list of connected devices.  Look under printer & serial devices, if a Serial device is marked with a yellow warning triangle with a ! in the middle, there is a problem between the driver

Dave That is possible. Windows and linux identified my chip as made by FTDI. I wasn't sure how to check on mac. I was/am using a CT-1 from ttl2usb dot com. Hard to tell if ttl2usb dot com sourced a bad chip or not. I have had this serial device for quite a few years. But the last time I used it I
