<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Well,<br><br> Though my 817ND seemed to be reset by attempting to write a memory file to it, <br>I was able to recover the frequencies by using FT-817 Commander. The old frequencies were still in the 817 but had to be turned on!!?? I did a fresh install of <br>the 817 Commander on another computer and it showed they were "in there" but I had to activate them and rewrite the memory using the 817 Commander. Anybody else have any problems with writing to an 817ND with chirp?<br> To recap, I place the 817ND into clone mode, hit the C button and tell Chirp to upload the .img file to the rig. After the write progression bar disappears, the rig just sits there. During the write process, the 1/8 notes go across the screen of the 817ND but a complete indication is never seen/heard.<br> I'd caution people
who are working with an 817 when trying to do writes with Chirp.<br>If you have FT-817 commander, use that to make a memory backup.

Got chirp ready to transfer the modified img file and hit the C button on the 817 and then did an upload to the 817.<br>Both units showed a progression during the transfer but there was no beep or any<br>indication the transfer was successful.

I had the thing download from the rig just fine and I saved the .img file<br>but it won't write to the
