Hi Jean
A similar thing happened to me on a different radio. I got it going by first
downloading a stock img file from within the program,  then altering it,
then sending it back to the radio.  Hope that helps....

I have an ic-2100, Icom USB OPC-478 FTDI (Valley Enterprises), driver from
ftdichip.com and Windows XP setup.  The usb serial port is on com 5 (I
checked in device manager).  With the ic 1200 in the clone mode, asking
chirp to download from the radio, clicking OK and pushing the smwmw button
on the radio, I get “An error has occurred.  Failed to communicate with the
radio unexpected response from radio”.  I even tried without putting the
radio in the clone mode......same response.....also tried two other
computers (one XP and one Windows 7). When I ask the program to detect the
radio  I get....”An error has occurred.  Unable to get radio model.”   Am I
missing a step or two or doing things wrong?  Any help would be appreciated.
