9:42 a.m.

I have the following set up

Kenwood TM281 Windows 10 updated 24hrs ago and latest version of chirp 20200227 FTDI lead from Bluemax49ers diver 2.12.28

I connect via the COM port shows as 7 which is fine and comms setting 9600,8 bits,Parity none, Stop bits 1 Flow Control None

When I click on OK nothing happens the screen returns to the blank chirp page, no memories downloaded and the upload option is greyed out.

Any help appreciated.

It sounds like the drive may have encountered a setting it didn't know how to handle. Can you create a debug log file and attach it to a new issue on the bug tracker?

Also how new/recent is the radio? We've seen firmware changes break the driver in unexpected ways (such as showing blank dialog windows and such)

Before sending the downloaded bug I thought I’d take a look at it and the comms were shutting down because the radio reported itself as a TM-271, when I changed the model to 271 it downloads just fine. This is bizarre as the radio is badged as a TM281 !

If you create a bug and attach the log anyway a Dev might find some time to ensure a pop-up gets displayed for the next poor soul rather than showing blank windows :P

Glad you got it resolve quickly, Tony. ________________________________ From: chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com on behalf of John Holmes k4vmg@hotmail.com Sent: Monday, March 16, 2020 12:22:15 PM To: Discussion of CHIRP chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Struggling to get download or upload from TM281

You can use Chirp to set any frequency that the radio is capable of. Please change the SUBJECT. Don't hijack someone elses.
