Re: [chirp_users] Linux CHIRP, ICOM 7100, "unicode strings" error

I wonder how much different the format is on the ID 5100 from the 7100. Sure would like to have Chirp working on the 5100. I am still willing to loan the radio to someone who could work on the code for the 5100... On Wed, Jul 27, 2022 at 10:48 AM Martin Cooper wrote: > Assuming it's the same a

Assuming it's the same as for the IC-910H, the CI-V Transceive function is like a real-time updating facility, whereby when you tune the radio manually, it continually sends CI-V data to the computer. You do not want this enabled while running Chirp. FLRIG quite likely does want this enabled, so th

Two COM port numbers are assigned to the [USB] connector. One of them is “USB1,” used for cloning and CI-V operation. The other one is “USB2,” whose function is selected in “USB2 Function” item of the “Connectors” Set mode. (p. 6-8) On Wed, 27 Jul 2022 at 02:58, Jim Unroe wrote: > On Tue, Jul 26

The 3.5mm (1/8") data jack is a straight serial port, and I'd give that a try. Ken > On Jul 26, 2022, at 15:03, Michael Nadler KI7QIB > wrote: > > Is CHIRP able to interact with the ICOM-7100 via the mini-USB port? Do I > have to use the RT-Systems FTDI cable into the audio port? ___

Hi Michael - plug the cable into the radio and computer, turn on the radio then in a terminal window on Linux type   dmesg On Linux you may need to have root privileges. At the bottom of the output you should see either a USB device - or possibly a serial device - and the port you need to use

I understand about "live mode" programming". I also have a Kenwood D710G that programs that way. Whatever the case, one has to start by downloading the radio's current programming prior to editing it. Downloading isn't working, either with the Linux or the Windows version. I see in the FAQ that

My initial thoughts on this, although I am by no means an expert, is that FLRIG is a rig control application, whereas CHIRP is a programming tool, unless used in 'live mode'. G7TXU On Tue, 26 Jul 2022 at 21:03, Michael Nadler KI7QIB < michael.nad...@gmail.com> wrote: > ICOM 7100 connected to Linu

ICOM 7100 connected to Linux system via the mini-USB port. FLRIG can control the radio through that interface. Running CHIRP 0.3.0dev, when I try to download from the radio via /dev/ttyUSB0, I get a pop-up error message: unicode strings are not supported, please encode to bytes: <>>". Are there
