[chirp_users] Help please!
I am trying again to get the CHIRP program to work with my Icom T70 and it Is NOT obvious.
I have a nice FTDI from Mark Dunkle. KJ6ZWL. I have spoken with Mark and we ar enboth mystified as to why this doesn't work.
I got as far as to make it stop SCANNING all the time when I plug the cable in. I follow the key presses to get the radio into CLONING mode. I set it to "CL out." Then I try to "read" the radio into Chirp.
The only thing I can see to do in CHIRP is to click on "RADIO" and then "DOWNLOAD FROM RADIO."
Is there something else I should be doing? I jhave been trying this since January and just haven't had time to fool with it soince it is such a bad time-wasting failure.
I wish people would either supply instructiuons with Chirp or make it so that ist is a bit more obvious and user friendly!
I will now try downloading the latest version and see if that helps. I am on version 0.4.1

Hello Bry,
Were these Beginner docs not clear enough?
http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Beginners_Guide
Btw, it's important you state what you're using:
- Which Chirp version you're using - what OS and version you're using - Does your OS recognize the serial port (physical, USB-based, etc)

No, the instructions were not clear enough, sorry.
Version 0.4.1 as stated earlier.
Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit.
Yes the port COM 3 is recognized.
By the way - yes they are clear enough but they do not work, as described. It does not read from the radio.

Bry,
What type cable are you using? Can you go to Device Manager and give us the driver type and version number. There is a problem with fake chips made in China not working right.

Thank you!
The supplier assures me these are not the fake chips but genuine FTDI chips he is using, and charged a premium price for it.
The cable came from Mark Dunkle, KJ6ZWL
Manufacturer: FTDI on USB Serial Converter
Driver Provided: FTDI 8/26/2014
Driver Version: 2.12.0.0
