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.

[chirp_users] ICOM 92AD
by James E. Wells (KDØAJZ) 15 Mar '12

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. Thank You -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- James Earl Wells KDØAJZ Blue Springs Amateur Radio Club Output 444.950 MHz Input: + offset PL=107.2 Hz Output 147.015 MHz Input: + offset PL=151.4 Hz Member ARRL Jackson County-Missouri ARES

by James E. Wells (KDØAJZ) 14 Mar '12

Downloaded the latest build. I am still having the problem that the program will not find the model of my ICOM. I have an ICOM 92AD. There has only been a few that have been able to read the radio without giving the error that it could not get the model of my radio. Does anyone have something that has to be turned off or on on the radio to allow the program to read the files on the radio. I am running Windows Vista AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor TK-57. Thanks James KD0AJZ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
