[chirp_users] Help with Yaesu FT-90R

[Joseph Chiarelli]

I have a Valley Enterprises FTDI cable RPC-Y29C-UF and trying to use with Yaesu-FT90R.


I first tried this on my Mac which works for my other Wooxun.

I launch Chirp and select Download from Radio.
After I selected my model radio and port /dev/cu.usbserial-A105ZGRL


I see the message about Putting into clone mode. I did this and it says CLONE on the display,

I then plug in and continue.

I get this message after about 10 second.
Failed to communicate with radio: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/chirp-daily-20180512.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/drivers/ft90.py", line 332, in sync_in
self._mmap = self._clone_in()
File "/Applications/chirp-daily-20180512.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/drivers/ft90.py", line 276, in _clone_in
data += self._read(blocksize, blocknum)
File "/Applications/chirp-daily-20180512.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/drivers/ft90.py", line 260, in _read
(blocknum, blocksize+2, len(data)))
Exception: Unable to read blocknum 00 expected blocksize 4 got 0.

I installed the latest signed 2.4.2 Drivers https://www.valley-ent.com/store/ftdi-usb-vcp-driver.html <https://www.valley-ent.com/store/ftdi-usb-vcp-driver.html> which linked to http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm <http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm>
