[chirp_users] ICOM 7100 programming
I'll try asking again as there was no response before.
Can anyone successfully program an ICOM-7100 using Chirp? If so: - how is the computer connected to the radio? - did you have to change any radio option? - or any Chirp option?
My radio downloads its programming to the computer perfectly. But, if I try to write back more than one channel, or try to program the same channel twice, Chirp reports programming errors.
If it doesn't work, then it should be removed from the list of acceptable radios.
I don't have an IC-7100, but I do have an IC-910, which uses the same driver. One thing to be aware of is that you should not touch the radio until you are done with all the programming you expect to do in a session. For example, don't edit one memory, and then turn knobs or press buttons on the radio to check that it worked, and then try to edit another memory. The reason is that changing anything on the radio can cause events to be sent out on the CI-V bus, and those events can confuse the synchronisation with Chirp. This generally happens when the radio has the "CI-V Transceive" option turned on, so it's a good idea to turn that off. Also, if you have multiple Icom radios connected to the same CI-V bus (e.g. using a CT-17), it's a good idea to turn the other radios off while you program the IC-7100.
