Hi Duffy,
Sorry to hear about the issues with the V82s
My laptop apparently generates enough RFI to make a D-STAR radio think there is low speed data which "messes" with the chirp radio detection logic by sending extra data out on the port. Once it detects the radio it appears to be fine. I've had to "re-learn" that lesson on several occasions. My head gets sore from banging it on the same low-hanging branch repeatedly and didn't want to see others do the same.
I should start chirp via a script the displays a reminder to take the radio out of DV mode (or just select a quiet frequency) before attempting to program!
Hope the new radios work out!
73 and see you in the K0MDG system! Mike, N0SO

Hi Mike and all,
I got a hold of the Icom V82 software and it immediately worked. So not sure why Chirp cannot read or write to the radios.
