[chirp_users] Linux CHIRP, ICOM 7100, "unicode strings" error

[Michael Nadler KI7QIB]

ICOM 7100 connected to Linux system via the mini-USB port.  FLRIG can
control the radio through that interface.

Running CHIRP 0.3.0dev, when I try to download from the radio via
/dev/ttyUSB0, I get a pop-up error message: unicode strings are not
supported, please encode to bytes: <<gibberish characters>>>".

Are there specific settings I need to have set on the ICOM?

Is CHIRP able to interact with the ICOM-7100 via the mini-USB port?  Do I
have to use the RT-Systems FTDI cable into the audio port?


P.S. I also tried running Windows CHIRP daily-20220408.  Download from
radio gets "error" in every entry.
