Re: [chirp_users] FT-817ND Writing problem

Hi Marco, Here is the scan of my 817ND. I can get Chirp to log with what Dan sent me: CHIRP_DEBUG=y ./chirpw 2>&1 | tee debug.log I used these instructions: Could you please run in linux the attached script and send me the output: - copy the file to your chirp-devel directory in the chirp subdir (the same where the ft817.py file is) - cd to that dir - prepare the radio for the clone operation - run it with python./dump817nd.py /dev/ttyUSB1 2>&1 >/tmp/817dump - start radio clone tx wait for the clone to complete, the radio should complain "as usual" and the program should take a few seconds to finish after the actual data transfer is ended. Send the generated /tmp/817dump file. Please send also an image of the white label on the radio (the one with model, serial number etc): we have to find not only the protocol details but also a way to recognize the various radio sub models. ___________________________________________________________________________ I received the dump817nd.py file, stuck it in the same directory where ft817.py is located (chirp-daily-01232012/chirp and then used python./dump817nd.py /dev/ttyUSB1 2>&1 >/tmp/817dump While the rig is in clone mode. I had the radio send the memory contents to chirp and I did get a dumpfile I've attached. I apologize as I'm not a programmer. I guess that's a commandline level task. Actually, when the task was done, the 817ND flashed Error again on the screen. Boy, I don't know what you can make of that file. Took me awhile to figure out what I had to do but I think this is what was desired. Anything else I can do to help just send me the commands and I'll run 'em. :-) I did two runs and hence the 817 and 817a file Kurt KC9LDH --- On Sat, 1/28/12, Marco IZ3GME <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com> wrote: > From: Marco IZ3GME <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [chirp_users] FT-817ND Writing problem > To: "Discussion of CHIRP" <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> > Date: Saturday, January 28, 2012, 6:12 AM > Here is the script .... sorry ... > > 73 de IZ3GME Marco

Here is the log file and the first portion is a read from the 817ND. Again, once the read is successfully carried out the ND flashes ERROR but the data is read into the program correctly on the computer screen. I then did a write and the ND just sits there and doesn't give in indication whether or not with cloning/write operation was a success. This time I used a 9 pin serial cable that I paired with a USB/serial converter. I'll fire up FT-817 Commander and restore it back. The glitch causes a deep reset of the ND and I get the blue screen instead of the orange one I set. Best regards, Kurt Savegnago KC9LDH http://aprs.fi/?call=PARS&mt=roadmap&z=11&timerange=3600

[chirp_users] Where do I find chirpw.exe.log ??
by Ron McKenzie 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Dan, When I attempt to start Chirp, I get the following error. Error Msg: The logfile 'C:\Program Files (x86)\CHIRP\chirpw.exe.log' could not be opened: (Errno 13) Permission denied: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\CHIRP\\chirpw.exe.log' I uninstalled Chirp and then reinstalled using chirp-daily-01212012-installer.exe and I still get this error. There is not chirpw.exe.log file, however, I do find the chirpw.exe file. Thanks & 73 de KK4DBR Ron
