[chirp_users] Kenwood TM -281 Chirp not reading from radio.

[ronald schmidt]

Is it possible the baud rate is in correct causing Chirp to go out and look but not find the radio?  Can I change that in Chirp?

This is a windows  7 PC.  A little more detail missed a step start chirp and then try to read radio and nothing happens.  The error appears when I try for the second time to read up from radio.  The first attempt just stays blank at the chirp window.  There is no box saying reading radio or status of down load.  It appears that chirp is trying and taking control of the port and holding it.  If I stop chirp after this and try to read using KW application I can read the radio. Let me know if there is anything else to check.

com ports and kenwood software - looks like windows to me

usually that error message happens to me when some other program has the com port open (i.e., holding on to it)

make sure you close down any other programs that might have that com port opened.

That sort of looks like a permissions error usually found in Linux. And adding 
the logged in user to the dial out group usually cures the error.

Tried to down load from radio over passt couple of days.  I get message that stated culd not open port com6: [Error 5] access is denied.  Tried new KPG46 cable and new Tripplite USB to serial adapter and still would not down load.  Then tried it wil the kenwood software and was able to read the radio data.  Is this a known problem?  Any sugestions would be appreciated.
