[chirp_users] Trouble with programming ICOM IC-2200H

Radio is powered by bench supply, so no batteries. Just checked for you to
be sure the cable was in all the way.
The volume suggested was a good one though. One I hadn't considered. It
was likely I had the volume all the way down before. Alas, excitedly I
just jumped up to try it without any luck. I tried it at both half-volume
and maxed out. I got the same results as mentioned originally.
Also, I found the debug.log file. If it means anything to anyone, here's
the error:
