[chirp_users] "offline programming"
When using CHIRP on a Yaesu VX-170, is it necessary to have the radio connected to the computer in order to modify the programming? I have a VX-170 that I field programmed. I downloaded the radio to CHIRP> I disconnected the radio then tried to modify the programming. Specifically, tried deleting a channel with the "move memory up" option. When I did that a message came up "searching for memory"... ( or something close to that). Then the program got hung up. Is this true for other radios as well ? Tnx Mike VE7SML
You don't need to be connected to the radio to edit data that has been previously downloaded from the radio or that was loaded from a disc file.

Mike,
That would depend on if your radio is programmed in "Clone" mode or "Live" mode.
My Kenwood TH-F6a programs in Live mode. Changes to the memories in CHIRP are made in real time to the TH-F6a so the radio must remain connected during the editing process.
All of the rest of my radios are programmed using Clone mode. The radios only need to be connected during the cloning (download/upload) process.
Assuming that your VX-170 uses Clone mode, I would suspect that the problem was with the "move memory up" option. Instead of using it, I would suggest that you open a second tab for your radio and then copy and paste the memories from the source tab to the new location in the destination tab.
