I am using the recommended FTDI cable for that radio.
The time frame in which to trigger the Icom versus Chirp is very short.
Can someone provide a step-by-step method to program it?

Here is how I described my procedure to someone about a year ago:<br>
<br>
---------8<---------8<---------8<---------<br>
Last week, I programmed several of my 2100H radios.
<br>
<br>
I did the following:
<br>
<br>
* start CHIRP
<br>
* connect the cable to the radio
<br>
* turn 2100H on
<br>
* download from the radio (set the correct COM port, and select Icom
2100H from the dialog)
<br>
[the rig shows the cloning notation on its screen]
<br>
* have CHIRP save current radio image if desired (it gives me a way
back to current state)
<br>
* make changes to the frequency lists
<br>
* turn off 2100H
<br>
* reset the 2100H (hold the [SET] and [S.MW] keys while powering on)
<br>
* upload to the radio
<br>
[the rig shows the cloning notation on its screen]
<br>
* turn off the 2100H
<br>
* disconnect the cable from the radio
<br>
* turn of the 2100H to observe the changes
<br>
* have CHIRP save the new radio image if desired
<br>
<br>
Perhaps some of the steps above are not necessary, but that is the
procedure I use successfully.

I have a number of 2100H radios (a wide span of serial numbers).
The reason I routinely do the radio reset action is that sometimes
the upload would seem to not take on subset of my radios. I don't
believe that this is a CHIRP problem, but it is certainly a problem
solved by forcing a reset--so I wrote a procedure that works
consistently across all my 2100H rigs.<br>
