Hello!
We are currently running an amateur radio license training and will provide all successful participants (hopefully about 30) with Alinco DJ 500. The Alinco software does it's job, but I want to have support for that model in CHIRP. I'm happy to see that CHIRP is written in Python and does a very nice job in doing all this bit and structure shuffling.
I have a running programming setup, that is the HT, original FTDI-based USB Serial converter and the software, running in Virtualbox 4.3 both Windows XP 32 bit and Windows 7 32 bit. Now I followed http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersAdd_a_Radio and tried to get a trace of the communication while reading/writing the channels.
Unfortunately Portmon 3.02, the last version that was published, does not support Windows 7. I tried compatibility settings for XP, not better. I tried Portmon in Windows XP, no trace possible. Portmon simply does not offer to trace at all.
What are your experiences with working setup? Which recommendations can you give me?
Best Regards
