[chirp_users] Problem Uploading on FT-897D
I am able to download the memory settings from the FT-897D with no problems. However, even if I simply try to upload the received data (no changes) it fails with an "ERROR" message on the Ft-897D and the upload box on CHIRP disappears immediately. This occurs using multiple versions of CHIRP including the 03/30/2012 (chosen since multiple posters say it works) up to the latest daily build.
When I click on the CHIRP upload box on the PC screen first and then immediately push the button marked A (upload) on the FT-897D the radio screen displays "RECEIVING" very briefly and then displays "ERROR". If I select button A on the radio first it immediately displays "ERROR".
I am using XP PRO with a serial port connecting to the radio. I have verified the com port and radio is correct (it just downloaded OK) and that the port is set to 9600 baud. The cable and connection runs HRD and DM780 with no problems so I am assuming the cable is OK. I suspect some arcane setting that I am unable to find.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can determine the cause of the error?
Thank you.
John
You have to turn off the FT-897D, push the <--- and ---> buttons and go to "receive" and then send from CHIRP.

Hi John just to be sure, the correct operation sequence to upload to ft897 is: - switch on the radio while pressing both <- -> buttons to push it to clone mode - prepare chirp for upload selecting menu Radio - Upload to radio and setting the com port (do not press Ok yet) - start receive on the radio pressing A button - press Ok in chirp dialog to start upload upload (should) then start immediately and both radio and chirp show the operation via a progress bar.
From what you wrote I suppose you did it correctly but please try once again. If the radio fails immediately after the A button pressure I strongly suspect you have other programs using the com port, you can confirm this by closing chirp and placing radio in clone receive, my radio is in "receiving" since 5 minutes now and didn't fails yet. If radio fails only at the chirp upload start, please collect debug.log and send it here to the list (instructions can be found here http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/How_to_report_issues#Getting-... )
Hope this can help
