Now I’m trying to make this setup work, but I’ve faced some issues, so I’m looking for help.</div><div><br></div><div>The cable seems to have a PL-2303 inside, at least that’s what its USB IDs tell and it got picked up by pl2303 kernel module. Now, it _almost_ works. I use Puxing PX-2R driver with CHIRP. When I tell CHIRP to download data, it fails with `Failed to communicate with radio: Radio is not responding`. If I immediately try again, then it downloads successfully.</div><div><br></div><div>I also noticed that when I connect the radio to my laptop, it starts transmitting (as in transmitting radio signal), likely because the cable plugs into the headset port. But it stops as soon as I open the tty using `socat` (`socat -x /dev/ttyUSB0 -`). When I exit `socat` it starts transmitting again after around 4 seconds. I believe this 4-second interval is the key to CHIRP succeeding, as it always succeeds when I hit “download” while the radio is not transmitting either immediately after the first attempt or immediately after exiting `socat`.</div><div><br></div><div>I also tried setting up a pty using, again, `socat` to sniff the protocol. In this case the radio stops transmitting as soon as `socat` is started and, of course, using the pty, CHIRP successfully downloads channels from the first try.</div><div><br></div><div>Well, my ultimate goal is to make their own programming software work (at least once, as I need to adjust some settings and after that I’ll happily stick to CHIRP), but it doesn’t. I thought, that understanding of what’s going on with CHIRP might help me figure out what to do next, so any ideas are welcome.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div></div><div dir="ltr">-- <br></div><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-size:13.1999998092651px">Кирилл Елагин</span><br></div></div>
