Hi John,
I tried your suggestion and it didn’t work for me. “Upload to radio” is greyed out. Also tried “alt+u” and that doesn’t work either. It seems that the program is not recognizing the radio for some reason. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program, reinstalled the driver and still no luck. Have also tried it on three different computers.

Hi Jean A similar thing happened to me on a different radio. I got it going by first downloading a stock img file from within the program, then altering it, then sending it back to the radio. Hope that helps....

I have an ic-2100, Icom USB OPC-478 FTDI (Valley Enterprises), driver from ftdichip.com and Windows XP setup. The usb serial port is on com 5 (I checked in device manager). With the ic 1200 in the clone mode, asking chirp to download from the radio, clicking OK and pushing the smwmw button on the radio, I get “An error has occurred. Failed to communicate with the radio unexpected response from radio”. I even tried without putting the radio in the clone mode......same response.....also tried two other computers (one XP and one Windows 7). When I ask the program to detect the radio I get....”An error has occurred. Unable to get radio model.” Am I missing a step or two or doing things wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
