I wrote most of the FT-2900 driver, and I'll maintain it as needed. It has been pretty stable for quite some time now, and I've had good reports from people who have used it, so I'm confident it's basically working, but there's probably room for improvement.
Thanks, David, for the suggestion about the lock button. I haven't tried that, and I'm away from my radio right now, but there may be something I can do to the driver to make it at least give a better error message when that situation is encountered.
Al: If you can download from the radio, then your cable is almost certainly working. Downloading requires communications in both directions. There's a remote chance that the cable length, impedance, or some other analog characteristic is such that it's producing intermittent problems, but I doubt it.
If it's not the lock issue which David suggested, then contact me off list, and send me the file you're trying to upload. I'll take a look and see what I can discover.

Rich and others on the list. Thank you for the responses. I do not know what I did - or what happened, but it is now working!
It could have been the lock button or something else, but probably my error.
Thank you all.
