Hi Dan, My apologies for the lack of detail. 1. Windows XP 2. Tried "Device Manager" to make sure I had the correct com port selected. A couple of times, it would show "Com 3" for example when it really was on Com 4 according to device manager. Just making sure I didn't have a Com Port selection problem. 3. First, I installed the driver from the Chinese USB cable supplier, which says it is a "Prolific"2303 All-In-One" Then tried Woxun's "Windows "USB Driver for XP" with the same result, and finally Woxun's "When All Else Fails" driver. 5. Not sure where to find the debug log. Excuse my ignorance. Chuck Same error message each time.

I have Chirp installed, and a USB-Baofeng cable from China (where else?). In spite of trying several drivers and com ports, I always receive a "Radio did not ACK first command" (or similar) from the software. Help, please! I've looked through the FAQ's, etc. and find nothing. Chuck

Thank you Tom KD7LXL, the daily build app and the specific selection of the Th-72 worked perfectly. I appreciate the fast response, and now one more thing I can do on Lion without Parallels and Windows. 73 de K7BAW Barry Winters barry(a)k7baw.us

[chirp_users] Question of radio support - Yaesu VX-1 and FT-1900
by joel d 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

Just found your excellent software and have it working fine with my Baofeng UV-5R and Yaesu FT-60. I am thinking I need to try programming these via my Linux box as the cables require different versions of Windows Proxima USB/COM drivers. My questions are: Is there a plan to add/support Yaesu VX-1 HT? Is there a plan to add/support Yaesu FT-1900 mobile? Has anyone tried the VX-3 and FT-2800 CHIRP setups with the VX-1 and FT-1900 respectively? Thank you again for a great piece of open source code! Joel N1KRL

[chirp_users] Kenwood DH-72 & Mac OS X
by Barry Winters 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

Just wondering if anyone has been successful in getting the DH-72 to connect to CHIRP running on a MAC OS X Lion? Got software installed, Silicon Express drivers for the Mac also installed, BUT when I try to download from radio it comes back with message "No response from radio". Any suggestions or guidance gratefully accepted. 73 de K7BAW Barry Winters barry(a)k7baw.us
