[chirp_users] Can't download from Yaesu FT-817
Hello, I am having a heck of a time trying to start the process of programming my ft817 by doing the initial download. I bought one cable, and after multiple failures using both Mac and PC, I bought another cable, the more expensive one. On the Mac side, I’ve downloaded and installed the ftdi drivers from here: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm . Still does not work. The radio just goes into “error”. I’m not getting an error message from Chirp. The Radio screen just starts flashing “Error” a few seconds after I put it into transmit mode. The Drivers appear to be working as the download dialog shows “dev/cu.usbserial-AI04KBP8” as an option. I really don’t have any idea what else to try. On the PC side, (under parallels), under “Devices” I connect the FT232R USB UART to the PC. Same thing happens. I go to download from radio, now “Com6” is what shows up, when I hit transmit it just errors out after a few seconds. No error message from CHIRP. The clone dialog just sits there open. Would sure appreciate any suggestions. Getting really frustrated. –cj-

Hi,
A while ago I purchased a TYT-8000E and I'm trying to figure out whether there's a way how to make it work with chirp. It's quite a decent Chinese model, sort of a better built Baofeng with 10W transmit power and an accordingly sized battery :) I've seen there's a new model request #2837 for it, from about a year ago, but no activity on it.
Are there any other people on this list using this radio? If yes, which SW are you using to program it?
Also, if there's a developer willing to implement the support for this radio, I could provide hardware on loan and/or help out with testing..
Cheers, rad0

Have you made sure the cat rate is set to an equal value to that of the program? I don't use CHIP for my FT-817, however the problem you describe sure sounds like a baud rate difference.

Somewhere it said to set the Cat rate to 38400, which is what I did, and I just checked and that is where it is set now.

Might want to confirm what kind of usb/serial adapter you actually have.
Use your mac, and sudo tail -f /var/log/system.log. Then plug in your USB/Serial adapter. It should spit out which driver it is trying to load, or describe what the thing is you plugged in.
I've had good luck w pl2303 adapters. I prefer the cheap/counterfeit $1.14 adapters, instead of the $39 adapters - I use 'em for all sorts of things.
