After a little more experimenting it seems that getting CHIRP to upload data to the 2800M requires a lot of luck and patience. Maybe the tolerances could be loosened a little bit so that the timing doesn't have to be perfect?

Hi Dan-

I installed the 8/18 daily build of CHIRP and gave it a try.

On the FT-2800m, as before I was able to download from the radio with no problem. I followed the procedure you recommended this morning, but I was not able to upload to the radio no matter what I tried, including switching to the 8/11 version, which had worked before. Any ideas? If it would help to have the radio back, I could send it with the TM-271A.

I had no problem with the THK2. Download works fine and I was able to import and modify a csv or chirp file in "live" mode and then export it.

On the IC-W32A, I still was not able to download a file from the radio. It gives the same error "class IC9xICFRadio has no attribute '_model'". I switched to the 8/11 daily build and was able to download and upload a modified .img file to the radio. I had thought there was a problem with the tone field on the 8/11 build, but it now seems to work correctly - the tones appear to be correct and they are in the tone field, not the tone sql field. Probably operator error.

Thanks,

Jim Givens KJ7F

Gosh Jim, I'm really sorry about this. I'm not sure why it's being so troublesome as it seemed like it was reasonably solid when it left here. Yes, if you want to send it back with the Kenwood I'll certainly take a look and see what I can do to make it better.

Alternately, I'm going to be in Bend this weekend if you want to make a quick exchange. I'll have family and friends with me, but could meet you somewhere to avoid the shipping charge.

Ah, no, I think I know what that is. Cleanup in another place.. that probably broke all Icom uploads, now that I think of it. I should be able to reproduce that this morning and get a fix pushed for tomorrow's build before I leave.

Thanks!
