Hi,
I just installed Chirp to program my new 857D. The interface/cable is working fine -- able to download/upload memories to/from the radio.
My problem is that none of the UHF/VHF memories work on the rig if they're programmed using Chirp.
That is, they're in memory and I can receive on them just fine. But, transmitting does not appear to work -- cannot key up the repeaters.
I have quadruple checked the offset direction/amount as well as the PL.
The 10 meter memory entries work fine.
I have an SWR meter on the HF antenna port and it moves a tiny amount when I'm transmitting on a memory channel programmed to a VHF or UHF frequency, as if it's putting the signal out the HF port.
When I program the memories manually everything works fine.
What am I doing wrong?
thank you,
Joseph, kc2yu
Further investigation revealed that the CTCSS tone in the chirp program is set correctly, but when I upload the memories to the rig, the rig has the PL tone set to "VHF-"
What does that mean and how do I correct it?

Can you please program your ft757, read the memory back to chirp and then send me this image file? I will investigate on it in a day or two

Hi,
Still not working, but I've closed in on exactly what's going on.
When I program the radio using Chirp, and look on the radio at the settings for the individual memory locations, incorrect info is in the tone frequency (menu 83). What's there is various text like VHF- or 50-RM -- all stuff that shouldn't be there. That's how it's getting loaded into the radio instead of the specific CTCSS tone.
If I program the radio directly, or correct the CTCSS tone on a memory uploaded into the radio from Chirp, it works.
Any ideas on how that could be happening and what I can do to fix it?
Thank you,
Joseph

Thanks Joseph! I was able to reproduce the bug on my ft857, I expect to produce a patch today or tomorrow at most.
Thank you very much!

I uploaded a patch that will be included in next daily build. Please download it tomorrow and test. I expect it to set correctly the tone frequency now.
To correct with chirp any "dirty" memory generated from previous version you'll have to change the tone frequency to something different and then back to the right tone.
Please report any failure or success.
Thanks a lot!

Yes, the easiest way to do this for everything is to literally import the image into itself. Open the image, File->Import, select the image, then click "all" to select all memories and then import.
