<div dir="ltr">(1) The first thing you must do with CHIRP is download from the radio to create an image (.img file) for CHIRP to use for your radio. Save-As that file in a safe place to have it available to restore the radio later if needed. Name it something like "FT-7100 Initial Download Image 03-20-2020"<div>(2) Make the changes you want using the CHIRP editor, and then save that file with something like "FT-7100 Changes 03-30-2010"</div><div>(3) Upload your newly modified image file to the radio.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Mar 29, 2020 at 4:10 PM <<a href="mailto:w4rss@radioclub.org">w4rss@radioclub.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">I hauled out my FT-7100 and thought I'd give CHIRP a try for <br>
programming it since it's no in the list of supported radios.<br>
<br>
Everything went smoothly until I tried to connect to the radio. I'm <br>
using a Tripp-Lite USB to Serial adapter and my Win10 machine shows in <br>
on port 10.<br>
<br>
When trying to upload a newly edited copy of an old .eep file, I <br>
eventually receive a message that says it can't connect to the radio.<br>
<br>
Looking for troubleshooting ideas.<br>
