I downloaded and installed chirp as well, and it also cannot write to my VX-7R. 4 different softwares, 2 different radios, all the same problem. one symptom is that when reading back the echo from sending block 2, there's an additional 0xff before the ACK (0x06). and then after sending block 3, the radio just sits there in CLONE RX mode, seemingly not recognizing the download.
I was able to finish eating the beef heart jerky, despite the putrid taste, a few days ago. now I've got a batch of rice I'm hurrying to eat before it goes bad. got to find better food preservation methods, or foods that just keep.
