He was half way there by holding down the MHZ key while powering up. Then rotating the channel knob to F7 CLONE. <br>Now he can press and hold the middle button BAND/SET until the <br>display blacks out and then release the button and the display <br>comes back with CLONE. He was missing that step. Now he can set his <br>software to rx or tx data and then hit the appropriate button on the <br>radio to start the transfer. TX or RX will appear on the display depending on what he wanted to do. The last time I programmed my FT8900 which is nearly identical in setting it up to clone I too forgot to<br>press set. On the 8900 you just press it momentarily. the 7900 you press and hold. That is what Joe was referring
to down at the bottom<br>of this message. More than a momentary push of SET on the FT8900 will cause the transfer to fail. I'll have to give that a try to see what exactly happens. <br><br>Milton<br><br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Dave Nathanson <KG6ZJO@nathanson.org><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Thursday, February 13, 2014 2:57 AM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [chirp_users] Programming Yaesu FT7900<br> </font> </div> <div
