it than that. I've had periodic problems programming radios with both
Chirp and the Wouxun software using the same cable and the same radio.
The exact same sequence of steps yields different results. Sometimes it
works flawlessly, sometimes you have to dance a jig on your left foot
while holding your tongue with your right thumb and forefinger while
mentally reciting a voodoo incantation. Ultimately, I just reboot the
box and start from scratch and all is well. I suspect that there are
driver issues where the driver may be left in an unstable state which is
sometimes recoverable, sometimes not, especially if a previous
programming attempt was performed in the wrong sequence.<br>

radjio is at Birch Bay, WA, and I won't be back up there for a while.
CHIRP works perfrectly for me for my Baofeng UV-5R and Wouxon 699E,
same cable. When people say "it is not recognizing the radio," what
that most likely really means is that there is an issue with the USB to
serial adapter software. Other than that, if the cable is not
defective, the USB to serial adapter software is about all that could
possibly be not correct. Either that or maybe doing things in the wrong
sequence or wrong manner (for example trying to control the process
from the radio instead of letting CHIRP control the process).<div>

<div>I have an ic-2100, Icom USB OPC-478 FTDI (Valley Enterprises),
driver from
ftdichip.com and Windows XP setup. The usb serial port is on com 5 (I
checked in device manager). With the ic 1200 in the clone mode, asking
chirp to download from the radio, clicking OK and pushing the smwmw
button on
the radio, I get “An error has occurred. Failed to communicate with the
radio unexpected response from radio”. I even tried without putting the
radio in the clone mode......same response.....also tried two other
computers
(one XP and one Windows 7). When I ask the program to detect the radio I
get....”An error has occurred. Unable to get radio model.” Am
I missing a step or two or doing things wrong? Any help would be
appreciated.</div>
