Hi Bob!
....mmm.... is it possible that the radio previously have been software widebanded? In that case the radio after the reset is back to its original configuration and thus refuse the image which it believe is coming from a different country ft817.
What I can't explain is the download error "Unable to read block 00 expected 4 got 4" which means that radio have sent a block of correct length but with wrong sequence number.
I suggest you to do a full reset of radio (HOME+power), start a fresh chirp and try to download once again. BTW com speed is always 9600 baud during clone, it doesn't care what you put in CAT rate.
For the batteries I just suggested on the 817 list this http://cs-shop.de/NOSRAM-LiPo-Senderakku-fuer-Sanwa-M11-111V-3600mAh :)

First of all a big thanks to the CHirp team, it's a great product. I have used it on Yaesu, Baufeng, Wouxun.
I use a 6 in 1 cable I bought fo $10 on fle-bay which works well. I made an adapter cable for the FT-817 Accessory socket and downloaded the radio to Chirp just fine. I edited the file and when I tried to send it back to the radio I accidentally factory defaulted the radio by not holding down both mode buttons properly on turn on. A caution for other players. I now cannot communicate with the radio and it has lost all memories and settings.
Yes I have the correct Windows driver as it works with other radios. Yes I have the correct com port, verified with "find my port" program a BIG help. Yes I have tried both CAT rates. Yes I have checked for continuity in my patch cable, and no shorts.
What have I missed? I can't upload or down load the radio. I get error message Radio did not ack block 0 and Unable to read block 00 expected 4 got 4
Are you guys aware of the availability of NiZn 1.6 V rechargeable AA batteries? Ideal for the FT-817.
Thanks in advance,
