[chirp_users] IC-92AD Strangeness

Fri Feb 1 22:20:08 PST 2019

Wenlock,
I wonder what the workaround would be. Also wonder why did worked back
years ago when
I was using it with the radio, then where did it get broken, or perhaps it
has been broke all
along just did not see it, but I do not think that is so. Because now it
just seems to read and
halt. Before I could change stuff and see it happen on the radio.

It would be nice to find out if someone is going to fix it, and if not then
it should be removed
from the list of equipment (sad).

Best Regards to all...
