Hi all,
I'm working to add in a FT-2980R subclass to the FT-2900R/1900R, and wanted to also capture the memory map images for the radio. The only way I can see to do this is by using the chirpc commands, but I can't exactly tell what is going wrong or why it's not working. I am able to use the standard GUI with the modified driver file to download and upload configurations from the radio, but I can't get the command line to work.
So my ultimate question: Is my syntax wrong? chirpc -r Yaesu_FT-2980R -s COM3 --mmap 2980test.img --download-mmap The README.chirpc file suggests that it should be chirpc -r Yaesu_FT-2980R --serial=COM3 --mmap=2980test.img --download-mmap but it didn't seem to make a difference for me. I get the "Failed to read header" error from _download(radio) in ft2900.py. Again, I don't get any such errors when running the GUI application, I can download and upload modified configs perfectly.
My process is to hit enter on the command line, and quickly press the Set/MHz button to start the radio transmitting the image, similar to the GUI suggest process of clicking 'Ok' and then pressing Set/MHz.
Thank you for any help, Ron NR0N
