[chirp_users] Struggling to get download or upload from TM281

[Tony Fuller]

If you create a bug and attach the log anyway a Dev might find some time to ensure a pop-up gets displayed for the next poor soul rather than showing blank windows :P

Glad you got it resolve quickly,
Tony.

Before sending the downloaded bug I thought I’d take a look at it and the comms were shutting down because the radio reported itself as a TM-271, when I changed the model to 271 it downloads just fine. This is bizarre as the radio is badged as a TM281 !

It sounds like the drive may have encountered a setting it didn't know how to handle. Can you create a debug log file and attach it to a new issue on the bug tracker?

Also how new/recent is the radio? We've seen firmware changes break the driver in unexpected ways (such as showing blank dialog windows and such)

I have the following set up



Kenwood TM281

Windows 10 updated 24hrs ago and latest version of chirp 20200227

FTDI lead from Bluemax49ers diver 2.12.28



I connect via the COM port shows as 7 which is fine and comms setting 9600,8 bits,Parity none, Stop bits 1 Flow Control None



When I click on OK nothing happens the screen returns to the blank chirp page, no memories downloaded and the upload option is greyed out.



Any help appreciated.
