[chirp_users] IC-7100 programming
I understand the LIVE reminder when reading the IC-7100 memory banks into Chirp, but how do I load a data file to program the damn thing?. Either I'm thick or I'm missing something, or both !

Open the data file and the radio at the same time. Then copy and paste the memories you want between the tabs. You can open any sort of data file (even an image of another radio) to use, but I assume you have a CSV file to load from?
By the way, we're still looking for confirmation that the 7100 works on -next, which it sounds like it does, so if you wouldn't mind creating a chirp-next report "bug" on the website to document that you're using it successfully, I can get it marked off the list.
Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, Dan. I have used Chirp-next on the IC-7100 a few times now. I havnt seen any abnormal behaviour so afaic its a tick in the working box for the Icom IC-7100. I had a silly idea the other day, while the IC-7100 cannot be programmed in the normal way, the SD card can. How about something to write the data to the SD card for loading into the 7100 ?. I did say a 'silly idea' 73 Mike

Excellent, thanks I'll get it marked off.

It's not silly, and we support that for other Icom radios with SD cards. However, someone will need to decode the raw memory format of the 7100 in order to support that in order to do it, which is non-trivial. If you get a chance, file a feature request and attach an export from the SD card as well as the matching chirp CSV from talking to the radio. That might be enough for someone to get started.
Thanks!
