I have been programming this radio on a PC with a radioshop888 usb cable and now wish to on a macbook lion osx. Installed python and chirp OK. Tried the latest prolific driver, terminal commands show it installed but network preferences only allow configuring it as a modem? Anyone got the details on how too get back on track? Thank you Geoff MacLean gmaclean(a)maine.rr.com 207-415-9044

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-2600M

Will Chirp be able to program the Yaesu FT-2600M? The reason I ask is that a friend has given me one and I need to program it. Just wondering.

Quick note... Trying to import a file when I can get it to do it I get a message at the bottom that says: [366] Setting memory 1 and it does nothing but eventually it will say that the Chirp is Not Responding.

Okay, here is the deal. If I start the software with the radio on and ask it to read the radio it sends Error messages in all memory slots. My RS232 cable shows that it is transmitting but not receiving. If I turn the radio off and then right back on it transmits and receives and it starts filling in the memory slots. It will go back and fill in the slots that had Errors in them and then it goes idle. It will not give me Bank Names nor does it have what bank the memory is in in both the A and B side. The DStar does not register and the Banks in the B side do not show. When I try to import a file it lets me pick the file and then a box opens with some of the memories in it and I tell it to do all of them. Then the bottom of the screen says something about the memory but I do not remember what it says but it looks like it is stuck and then Chirp produces a Not Responding Message and it will not recover so I have to shut it down with the Task Manager. Now instead of even trying to load the file it just goes to Not Responding. Not sure why it will not read the radio unless I turn it off and then turn it on. That is my report for the day.

[chirp_users] ICOM 92 AD

Well it reads everything okay. But I can not import to the radio. It gives me the boxes to do the import but then it does not do anything at all. Just like it is stalling. No Error messages just nothing.

This improves the visual nature, but also prevents the UI from asking the driver to add blank memories to a bank if the user accidentally clicks in one of the boxes. Rev 2: Ignore clicks on insensitive checkboxes [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix some places in the UI where we delete by setting a memory with empty=True instead of calling erase_memory() [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Print a traceback of where a job was created from, when there is an exception while running it [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] [vx5] bugfix: get_raw_memory() was off by one [Tom Hayward KD7LXL <esarfl(a)gmail.com>] [vx5] allow 8-character names [Tom Hayward KD7LXL <esarfl(a)gmail.com>] [vx5] bugfix: set non-empty memories visible. Imports masked memories as empty.

[chirp_users] ICOM 92AD

If anyone here has an ICOM 92AD and is using Chirp with no problems can you please send me the instructions on how you do it? I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work and it keeps telling me that it can not find the model of my radio. I have the GPS turned off. I have the radio at least five feet away from the computer. I turn the radio on first then start the software. I select ICOM and Port 5 and the bottom box says “Detect”. We I click okay. It does nothing until the box comes up and says that it can not find my model of radio.
