You have to download from the radio into CHIRP first…  This seems to be the case for most programs that I have used.  It opens communications…  Chirp will create a TAB in the program with the current program list.   Then you can copy paste from your list on the other tab…  then upload to radio…

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.
