Hi Everybody,
I just want to let you know that CHIRP does not work with the ICOM IC-W32E (european version)!
This is due to the different model-ID. The W32A uses the hex id 18 82 00 01 while the W32E uses 18 82 00 02! So no response from a W32E appears...
I found this after using chirp for a while with no problems with my W32A but getting no connection with a friends W32E. Even the direct cloning with the icom cable was not possible, but gave us the hint to the different modell-id. After changing the line with
_model = "\x18\x82\x00\x01"
in the ICW32A.PY-file to
_model = "\x18\x82\x00\x02"
everything runs smooth now!
So as this is easy done, but just a quick workaround it would be nice to see a proper definition-file and the IC-W32E added to the list of compatible gear...
This was also subject of issue #280 on http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/280 but I don't want to go to much inside development as I allready have a long list of things to do! So maybe somebody else has the capacity to put things together....
Regards, David
