[chirp_users] Chirp will not start with UV-5R
by Kjell Andersson 28 May '13

28 May '13

When I try to start Chirp, it says "Error reporting is enabled, if you wish to disable this feature you may do so in the Help menu" and then it ends. I can connect to my radio with the ordinary software.

[chirp_users] FT-8800 issue appears to be solved
by Grant Cunningham 27 May '13

27 May '13

Uploading the file to the radio a second time seems to have solved the right side not having data issue. Not sure why, but it's fixed. Now if only CHIRP could set the radio to not display alpha tags as the default…changing them one by one on the radio is a hassle!

[chirp_users] FT-8800: Success, but another question!
by Grant Cunningham 27 May '13

27 May '13

Managed to get a file uploaded to the FT-8800, with complete success -- except for one little thing: how do I get the RIGHT side of the radio uploaded? (For those who don't have the 8800, the left and right side of the radio have completely separate memories; you can't even copy between them in the radio.) Once I get this figured out, I'm home free!

Problem solved - I'd left the radio in crossband mode! I would have thought that entered the initial set menu (where the clone function is located) would have suspended crossband, but it doesn't. I turned off xband, and the download went without a hitch. Now I can experience the inevitable problems editing and uploading the image file - yippee!

Thanks Tom. Yes, I'm following the Yaesu manual to the letter. When the display says "CLONE START", the manual says to push the 'set' button, the screen will blank, and then the display will show "CLONE". I do that, and it does. The manual then says to start the receiving radio, and I click the start button in CHIRP. The manual then says to push the left-bank 'V/M' key to initiate transmission; when I press that button, nothing happens - the display still reads "CLONE", the "-TX-" doesn't show, and CHIRP times out with this error: "Failed to communicate with radio: Failed to read header (0)". I also tried your tip about the radio going into clone mode without a cable - nope, it behaves exactly the same. No "-TX-", no error, no nothing.
