Hi. I like your software much more then https://github.com/sq5bpf/k5prog . There is one thing i often do wrong when i was not doing it for some weeks and this is trying to do something with eeprom. I remembered to have to press the PTT button and turn on the device when doing something on the software part. But eeprom dumps and modifications can only be done in regular mode.

The errors i get then does not help. This is the output:

./k5tool -rdee Opening /dev/ttyUSB0 Handshake... [ERROR] Unexpected response PacketFlashBeaconAck { HdrId=0x0518 HdrSize=32 Version="2.00.06" K0... K1... K2... K3...

It would be great if you could add in this output the information, that the user is probably in flash-mode (led is on, screen is off) and eeprom-things cant be done in this mode.
