Jim,
I have spent over an hour trying to
sign on and "open an issue". I gave up.
Here is what is going
on. The "366766" is an internal passcode in the KT-8900 that was entered
on initialization of the radio.
By holding down the F-Key and powering up
at the same time, the ability to enter a passcode is presented in the radio's
display. When this screen first appears it shows six underscore
lines. I assume these are analogous to spaces. But, I can't find any
way to get the radio to accept six blank spaces in the passcode. It
insists that six digits be entered. Than and only then will it finish powering
up, show memory channel frequencies on the display and go into normal RX/TX
operation.
Also, I have tried to register with the CHIRP Forum by
replying to the confirmation email. However, when I try to sign in it says
I am not valid and that I need to register again. When I try to register
again I am told that my signon and password are already in use. Catch
22. Thus, I have not been able to "open an issue".
CHIRP works
great with my Baofeng UV-5R, but it just doesn't like the QYT
KT-8900.
Thanks for your ongoing support,
Bill
