posters say it works) up to the latest daily build.<br><br>When I click on the CHIRP upload box on the PC screen first and then<br>immediately push the button marked A (upload) on the FT-897D the radio<br>screen displays "RECEIVING" very briefly and then displays "ERROR". If<br>
I select button A on the radio first it immediately displays "ERROR".<br><br>I am using XP PRO with a serial port connecting to the radio. I have<br>verified the com port and radio is correct (it just downloaded OK) and<br>
that the port is set to 9600 baud. The cable and connection runs HRD<br>and DM780 with no problems so I am assuming the cable is OK. I suspect<br>some arcane setting that I am unable to find.<br><br>Does anyone have any suggestions how I can determine the cause of the error?<br>
