(1) The first thing you must do with CHIRP is download from the radio to create an image (.img file) for CHIRP to use for your radio. Save-As that file in a safe place to have it available to restore the radio later if needed. Name it something like "FT-7100 Initial Download Image 03-20-2020" (2) Make the changes you want using the CHIRP editor, and then save that file with something like "FT-7100 Changes 03-30-2010" (3) Upload your newly modified image file to the radio.

I hauled out my FT-7100 and thought I'd give CHIRP a try for programming it since it's no in the list of supported radios.
Everything went smoothly until I tried to connect to the radio. I'm using a Tripp-Lite USB to Serial adapter and my Win10 machine shows in on port 10.
When trying to upload a newly edited copy of an old .eep file, I eventually receive a message that says it can't connect to the radio.
Looking for troubleshooting ideas.
