Agreed.  I have two IC-207H's and would loan one of them to a Chirp programmer to allow them to create the code.  I would even pay return shipping fees just to get this radio in Chirp.  It was a very popular model just a few years ago, and its successor (the IC-208H) is already available in Chirp.  It's a mystery why the 207 was overlooked.

Different radio but same ideal. I have a Icom ID-5100A
I have offered to loan it for someone to add the code to
Chirp to control the ID-5100a but so far no takers. I would
certainly like to be able to use chirp on my ID-5100a, and
I know that there are others in the same condition. I have
the radio and will gladly ship it to someone so they can do
the coding.

Yes, I have the software & cable, but it's on a 35 inch floppy and I am told it. won't run on anything newer than Win2000.

The manual indicates that Icom at one time produced software for cloning this radio:

===
CS-207 CLONING SOFTWARE + OPC-646 CLONING CABLE
Provides quick and easy programming of items, including
memory channels and set mode contents, for local repeater
frequencies, etc.
===

So, at least in theory, it's possible.

i also have said radio. it has no propper means of programmig. no data/program port.
 
there had been suggestion of using a interface to mimic the manual key presses inline with the mic but never heard any more of that (not via chrip) and ths was only 1 direction as well. ie no read of radio, just write.

Hi Robert,

The gating factor is usually the radio. If none of the developers has one, or has access to one, that makes it very difficult to assess what's needed in the driver, and impossible to test any code that's written. This is why you'll see an "equipment loan offered" field in the issue tracker.

Martin.

Martin, 

Thanks.  I am new to the users list.  I see the original request is more than two years old.  I wonder how it can get the attention of the programmers?
