Re: [chirp_users] New to chirp

Hello every one, I'm new to the use of chirp and I need a few pointers. When I attach my id800 to my computer with the clone cable attached to the audio out on the radio in cl out mode the software says "out of sync with radio". I must be doing something wrong...

Are you initiating the clone from the radio before you tell CHIRP to download? If so, that's your problem. CHIRP will tell the radio what to do.

Am I using the proper cable?

Well it's hard to tell from your description, but if it's an OPC-478 or equivalent, then yes :)
