[chirp_users] Puxing PX-2R "not responding"
Hello,
I’m trying to download the config from a Puxing PX-2R using Chirp
1:20190104-1 on Debian stable with the result that the "Radio is not
responding".
I searched the available information (wiki, bug reports, list archive)
without finding a solution. Maybe someone here has a suggestion?
The cable I use is shown by lsusb as
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
When I connect the radio to the computer with this cable and switch it
on, an orange LED lights above the active display. Since the radio does
not react to key presses when connected in this way it seems to detect
the connection. (When disconnected it reacts normally.)
In chirpw, I select "Download from Radio" and
Port: /dev/ttyUSB0 (the only one, read/write rights are OK)
Vendor: Puxing
Model: PX-2R
Then I press "OK" and an error dialog appears together with the
following message in the terminal:
ERROR: -- Exception: --
ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):

ERROR:
ERROR: Clone failed: Failed to communicate with radio: Radio is not responding
ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: Failed to communicate with radio: Radio is not
responding ---
ERROR: None

I can reproduce the above with both PX-2R devices that I have access to.
I read that PL-2303 cables normally do work on Linux. Does anyone have
an idea what the problem could be?
Thanks
Christoph

In any case, CHIRP is not receiving any data from the radio and cannot proceed.

Re: [chirp_users] "Download from radio" does not bring up clone window
Once I deleted old Chirp and reinstalled run as administrator I finally got the window to select vendor and radio (Icom 2100H) after selecting "download from radio". The port is defaulted to COM6 which is verified to be the one selected in the FTDI driver. However when I click OK, I get "An error has occurred - Failed to communicate with the radio. Unexpected response from radio". It doesn't matter if I run Chirp normally or as administrator.. same result. I read the beginners guide. The cable TRS plug is firmly seated in the speaker jack, there is no antenna connected and I'm tuned to a clear frequency. I have tried with squelch both open and closed and with volume settings from 0 - 100%. At the bottom of Bug #1113 for a similar issue with Icom 2100H, I read: "Some Icom radios are known to deny cooperation with FTDI cables (even genuine ones). Please try a cable with a genuine Prolific chip. Unfortunately cables with fake "Prolific" chips make the vast majority of cables on the market; genuine Prolific cables are on the more expensive side." Can anyone confirm this to be the case? If so, who makes "genuine Prolific cables"?

This is exactly what I have been doing for over 8 years. Since the majority of programming cables being supplied with a radio being submitted for inclusion with CHIRP have been of the unauthorized copy variety, I just keep the older device driver installed and selected on the Windows computer that I program radios with. I do have one rare programming cable sporting a genuine Prolific USB-to-Serial chip. Back when I bought it, I used it to check all of the Prolific device drivers that I could find in order to determine which was the last available Prolific driver before they became cripled. That turned out to be v3.3.2.105. It works great with CHIRP but is incompatible with some OEM programming software. Falling back to v3.2.0.0 was necessary to work with both.

Jim, I'll give it a try. In the process of returning the Valley FTDI cable now and nice to know I won't have to go the RT route even though I like them for my newer radios. Just don't want to spend that much on an older radio.

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R MK4
I have successfully been able to use Chirp to upload .csv files etc. All communications between the software and radio seem to work. However, when manually loading HAM repeater information, the upload info seems to not take correctly. For example, I used the software to put in a 2m frequency, no tone, “-“ offset at 0.60 and low transmit power. After the upload, the radio shows the correct frequency and memory name but that’s it. The transmit power shows Medium (which isn’t even an option in the software) and also shows both “+” and “-“ on the radio screen. When keying the mike, it shows CT as if there is a tone being transmitted. Something is not syncing right but I am not getting any error messages. Any help here is appreciated. ___ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to arch...@mail-archive.com at arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscr...@intrepid.danplanet.com
