I wrote most of the FT-2900 driver, and I'll maintain it as needed. It<br>
has been pretty stable for quite some time now, and I've had good<br>
reports<br>
from people who have used it, so I'm confident it's basically working,<br>
but there's probably room for improvement.<br>
<br>
Thanks, David, for the suggestion about the lock button. I haven't<br>
tried that, and I'm away from my radio right now, but there may be<br>
something I can do to the driver to make it at least give a better<br>
error message when that situation is encountered.<br>
<br>
Al: If you can download from the radio, then your cable is almost<br>
certainly working. Downloading requires communications in both<br>
directions. There's a remote chance that the cable length,<br>
impedance, or some other analog characteristic is such that it's<br>
producing intermittent problems, but I doubt it.<br>
<br>
If it's not the lock issue which David suggested, then contact<br>
me off list, and send me the file you're trying to upload. I'll<br>
take a look and see what I can discover.<br>
