<P><BR>CHIRP - great project!</P>
<P> Thanks for supporting the HAM community in all of your (many) efforts.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I own a Kenwood TM-F6A hand-held transceiver, purchased in fall 2008.</P>
<P> My first trial with chirp(ver 0.1.12) lead to errors, but I read in a FAQ about a F6A bug fix in version(chirp-daily-11092011).</P>
<P> Chirp(ver11092011) allowed access to the radio without errors.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>When I attempted to export the data, an error was generated.</P>
<P> 1. See attachment(1.jpg) for screen.cap prior to error.</P><SPAN></SPAN>
<P> 2. See attachment(2jpg) for screen.cap at error.</P>
<P> 3. See attachment(ver.jpg) for screen.cap of version information.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Environment:</P>
<P> 1. WinXP(MediaCenter2002_sp2) on a DELL XPS.400(DXP051)</P>
<P> 2. USB><Serial converter to OEM serial cable to radio.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Ideas:</P>
<P> 1. I am not a "real" programmer :) the error seems to involve a function where the argument is a HEX value but expected a DEC value.</P>
<P> 2. I used the same equipment to access the TH-F6A with the Kenwood prog s/w and it worked as expected.</P>
<P> 3. I can try another USB><Serial converter, but this error doesn't seem to point that direction.</P>
<P> 4. I can try to clear all memory on the F6A but would rather hear your ideas first.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>What's next?</P>
<P> In the future, would you rather see screen.cap's as attachments or in-line images?</P>
<P> Any other advice?</P></DIV>

<DIV>PS: My interest in CHIRP was sparked when a HAMShare class was offered for this Saturday, Nov-19-2011, in Auburn, WA.</DIV>
<DIV> One of the (many) topics is CHIRP. </DIV>
