[chirp_users] FT-817ND Writing problem

[Kurt Savegnago]

Using a commercial cable that works fine with HRD and FT-817 Commander.  Is a 
USB cable.  Working in a Linux and an XP operating systems.  Like I mentioned,
Chirp read the 817ND memory into an .img file without any problem.  I let the program sit for awhile during the write back into the 817ND but it just sat there. Restarting goes to the default like you say and gives that awful dark violet screen color on the ND's
display.  I usually have it set to orange.

Oh,  the data cable is a PL2303 converter that works with the 817 ND just fine ordinarily.  Me suspects it might just be a simple code issue? :-)

Yep, that's because (a) the clone didn't seem to finish and the radio
will reset itself to recover and (b) Yaesu's definition of "reset" is
"mark the memories as unused".

I've programmed my non-ND 817 over ten times since Marco wrote the code. 
The code for the ND version differs by precisely two digits in a block 
number. What platform are you on and what kind of cable setup are you using?
