Chirp and ICOM7000
|
greetings from Vienna, I am trying to program the transceiver for 2m and 70cm usage using Chirp. The PC (Windows XP) is connected via USB to the CI-V remote control jack, using a cable purchased from the local ICOM retailer.? Thus far I have ?not been able to download from the radio, all I find is a listing showing 0.00 under Frequencies, ERROR in the Name column, but FM in the MODE column.? I wonder if there is a mode on the transceiver that needs to be set before attempting to download, and I am looking for any suggestions (including where to RTFM) on how to overcome the hurdle. I know how to establish what Comm port is in use, and Chirp does function when I connect a UV-5R with its specific cables, no troubles at all. ?thanks ?rom OE1RKS |

开云体育I have two IC-7000 radios and Chirp does work.? It even works (partially) on CHIRP running on a Raspberry Pi. ? A few things to check: 1.????? ?The cable needs to be plugged into the radio CI-V jack.? It is one of the 4 jacks that are in a row and it is easy to get it in the wrong one. 2.????? Menu #48 CI-V Baud Rate defaults to 9600 Baud.? This much match the settings for radio in Chirp. 3.????? Menu # 49 should be left on the default of 70h 4.????? Menu #50 should be off 5.????? Chirp must be setup with the correct COM port that matches your cable. 6.????? You must read from the radio before you try to write to it._ ? Most likely the problem is the radio Data Rate doesn’t match CHIRP. ? ._,_._,_ |

Dave, first of all thanks for the quick?response.I learnt something from your message, I had never even looked at the menu listing... ? As it turns out all the settings except 50 were correct; I changed 50 to 'off', the plug is in the right socket, and I tried again. ?? Unfortunately no luck so far, I even tried with another computer so I am still at the beating my head against?the wall state. I discovered something really odd though.? In the listing I can edit the frequency column, but whatever I enter is not what is displayed after a carriage return, and all the same what I enter in the next line, the value is always the same as in the preceding?column. ' experience is what one gets when one does not get what one wants...' I'll keep at it and will probably discover something really stupid as the cause. ?thanks again ?rom On Wed, Feb 12, 2020 at 6:47 AM Dave Christensen <dkc2030@...> wrote:

Gosh, I’m gonna check when I go home, but I think I use Chirp with my IC7000 and my IC706.? Getting old, bit I think I have used Chirp for years. Vy 73,de Ron W5RRP On Tue, Feb 11, 2020 at 9:32 PM Eric, K2EDS <kd2jul@...> wrote: CHIRP is NOT compatible with the Icom. --
