Reading the codeplug works now but qdmr doesn't write it.

Reading and writing fails for me randomly with high frequency too. Retry until you succeed (at most three times for me). This however, is certainly a bug in qdmr or a quirk of the radio I need to address. So I'll keep this issue open.

[hmatuschek]

Does this issue still exists with the current master branch?

[sgofferj]

I'll try and report back

Still reproducible with qdmr-0.12.3. It seems the original software can sometimes pause a bit and continue writing after while. When this happens with the qdmr it seems it doesn't wait and outputs error. Maybe some timeout could be used?
