[chirp_users] Port recognition issue
by Dennis Mosley 18 Aug '21

18 Aug '21

I downloaded CHIRP. Plugged my computer cable to a USB port on my computer and got an Error 3 message saying this port is not recognized. No driver. I use this port all the time. I purchased the cable from Amazon as being the one to buy for my Btech 50+1 radio. Help would be appreciated.--*Your pal.

[chirp_users] Port recognition issue
by Al Jones 18 Aug '21

Assuming that you're on Windows when you seem to have a port problem it's really necessary to bring up Device Manager to see which port is in use since the port may / can change depending on which USB port you're plugged into. Hopefully this got out on the list this time. Sorry, Jim.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, the images did not come through (see below), but I did poke around in the Device Manager, but did not find anything resembling the programming cable listed anywhere. The only device listed for COM ports is SQL. Should I see the cable listed? Note: COM3 is the only choice presented for the CHIRP clone import process. Newbie Notes: - I managed to find the MIME / Plain Text flag in the User Settings, and updated it, so images should work now. (please resend) - I changed to receive grouped list (not sure what's protocol for replies) [image: image.png] /===========================================================/ Make sure you have selected the correct port. My programming cable is assigned COM3 but my computer has an internal serial port with nothing connected to it that is assigned COM1. If I accidentally choose COM1, I get the same error. [image: Radio_did_not_respond.png] Use Device Manager to determine which COM port number is assigned to the programming cable. Mine has been assigned COM3. [image: 2021-01-28 08_20_23-Device Manager.png] /===========================================================/ Thanks!

But I am puzzled...by "Reply All", do you mean replying to the list, rather than replying to someone who asked the question? I might rather ask that replies be edited to leave what it relevant, rather than leave a lot of extraneous lines in the email, such as list footers and previous comments.

[chirp_users] JT270 M Won't Power Up
by Gene Satterwhite 03 Aug '21

03 Aug '21

I just made a first attempt at programming the JT-270M, and all went well at first - the radio took the programming, so the cable seems good (and it works fine with two other radios), the programming uploaded to the Jetstream, but now the Jetstream won't power on at all! I looked through the help and couldn't find anything about the problem. This is my first post asking for help, so I hope I am going about it the right way. Thanks for your time and for any help!

Unless you are running a very old version of CHIRP (something like from 2014 and before), CHIRP fully supports all 256 possible Windows serial ports from COM1 to COM256. And if I recall, even the very early versions of CHIRP running under Windows supported COM1 to COM16. If you properly configure a higher COM port number in Windows, restart CHIRP and it should be detected. Jim
