Here is debug log as per your instructions. Ideas? 73 Mike > I got the cable from KaWa on E-bay, recommended by another Ham. Good. > Yes, I followed instructions to the letter. Appreciate any other > suggestions. The 2800 has been problematic for some folks, but I thought we had gotten those issues worked out. Which version are you using? Just so we're clear, you're hitting the button to initiate the transmission on the radio *after* you have clicked "okay" on chirp and caused it to open the progress box, right? And, you're in clone mode (ready to hit the transmit button) on the radio before clicking okay on chirp, right? If so, please send me the debug.log file after trying to clone and I'll see if there's anything obvious in there. -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] CHIRP files & memories sharing between different radios
by IZ5FSA, Leo 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

I have a problem retrieving (re-opening) files saved in CHIRP format: "error: unable to open schema". Is there a bug or my config error? I have got three radios I want to keep aligned in memories: - IC2820E - ICE92D - TH-D72E The only way I have is to save memories in CSV files, and separated memories for FM and DV channels. Is there another way to do this? *73 de Leo, IZ5FSA *

Dave, Larry, I had similar problems with my UV-3R programming cable which also uses the pl2303 chip. I replaced it with a ftdi interface, it works great now. See also my message of: Wed Nov 9 12:59:00 PST 2011 kindly, Gerrit.

Not sure if its permissible to ask a question here. If not, please inform where. I D/L and used the latest CHIRP to program my Icom IC-2200 as well as a china UV_3V mini HT, both programmed successfully using the driver that came with the USB cable for the IC-2200. In other words, same cable and driver worked ok for both radios.. Next I purchased a cable for my FT-2800 Yaesu but I get a read header error. This cable also came with a driver but an inspection indicates this driver is identical to the prolithic driver on the IC-2200 driver disk. Why dosent it work? Any advice appreciated... 73, MIKE K5HUM
