[chirp_users] FT-450D communication problem
I have just downloaded latest Chirp (CHIRP daily-20180906).
Using Windows 10, Com port 3, Vendor Yaesu, Model FT-450D.
My CAT cable works fine with "PCC for FT-450D", WSJT-X , "Ham Radio Deluxe" & "FREE450", but not "Chirp"!
Followed instructions to download from radio & got message:-
An error has occurred - Failed to communicate with radio: Unable to read block 0 expected 6 got 4.
Any ideas?
My FT-450D has the UK 60m frequencies plumbed into the memories - will these be saved in Chirp? I want to update the radio's firmware, so want to backup the memories including the 60m ones.
Thanks
We keep getting this issue.
The 450D implements a full serial/RS-232 level port. Make sure you cable supports RTS/CTS handshaking. You should have 5 wires on the cable, Pin 2 DATA OUT to computer, Pin 3 DATA IN from computer, Pin 5 GROUND, Pin 7 RTS, Pin 8 CTS.

As far as I know mine if a real PL2303 and CAT control works fine in Fldigi, wsjtx, and qsstv but I can't get Chirp to talk to it. It just times out and says something about expected 6 bytes got 0 or something like that. Nothing additional on console.
Thanks, Richard
