<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> I
have emailed Dan about this issue before but I thought I would ask the group
about this to get some additional opinions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> I
am trying to use Chirp (several versions including the 0.1.10b7 beta) with my
IC-2820 connected via the data port. I have tried from Windows (XP and Vista)
and Ubuntu and in each case I get the same result: I am able to download the
contents of the radio with no problem, but when uploading the software shows a
gas gauge for a minute or so, then returns to the main window. The radio
display says ‘CLONE’ the entire time, and does not power cycle when
the software appears to finish.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> The
cable is a homebrew OPC-1529R going to an FTDI USB-to-serial adapter. I believe
the cable must be OK, since I am able to download.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> Dan
suggested I try using an OPC-478 on the SP-2 port…I built one using <a
href="http://seed-solutions.com/gregordy/Amateur%20Radio/Experimentation/CIVInterface.htm">http://seed-solutions.com/gregordy/Amateur%20Radio/Experimentation/CIVInterface.htm</a>
but I get errors from Chirp when using this (unexpected response from radio),
and I have not been able to find a good method to test this interface<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> I
have GPS TX MODE and GPS AUTO TX disabled. Is there some other setting in the
2820’s menu that might cause this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> Can
someone confirm for me that the radio should indicate ‘CLONE IN’
when Chirp is uploading? It seems it should since it shows ‘CLONE OUT’
when downloading.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> Also,
can anyone suggest some troubleshooting commands I can send to the radio using
Hyperterminal, etc. to verify that it is receiving commands? I have found lots
of CI-V commands but nothing showing the IC-2820’s CI-V address; I
suspect that radios with clone-only capabilities (no rig control) do not have
an address, but there must be some command to trigger the clone-in sequence.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance!<o:p></o:p></p>
