CHIRP

Can you try downloading the radio, save to an image, then close and re-open chirp (and re-load the driver of course), load that image and try an upload? I see one strange error in that last log that relates to potentially not re-opening the serial port properly after the initial download.

Er, actually, it looks like maybe you hit cancel, I assume because it seemed like it wasn't progressing? That's probably the error I'm seeing.

Hmm, yeah, the radio is just not responding to that block at all. Does the radio report an error on the display?

And just to be clear, you can upload with chirp-legacy?

No, I didn't hit cancel. I tried it twice, once before hitting OK and once after hitting OK. It isn't clear like it is on the download where you hit OK first. I don't remember which so I'll try it on legacy which does work.

Okay, you definitely have to put the radio into clone receive mode first, then click okay in chirp. Yaesus are annoying like that.

Sorry for the delay (supper). Worked fine with legacy. But with next I get an error on the radio as soon as I push DISP/SS.

Hmm, okay, I was surveying the history on this driver and I see something about needing to open the serial port before going into clone mode, but I'm not sure how that can really matter (I didn't write this driver).

Can you describe the cable you're using? I assume it's a DE9 to RJ45 or something like that? If so, can you tell how many wires are actually present inside the body of the clear plastic RJ connector?

If I have to make the change being described in the history, I'll have to do quite a bit more work.

Thanks for your patience with this. It's of course quite frustrating for me to not have one locally to iterate with, and for you having to keep trying things ;)

I will try that. The cable is DB9 to RJ45 with 3 wires.

That didn't work. Using legacy, when I push DISP/DD I get the R in the lower left, with next it just gives an error.

Right, this is going to require you to do something different with next for a test. Please read what I wrote:

Attached is another version of the module, where it waits five seconds before starting the clone once you click the okay button on the instruction >prompt. So if you would, get the radio to the point right before you push DISP/SS, then click OK on the chirp instruction prompt, and then press >DISP/SS on the radio and see if you can time it to work.

For this one test, click okay on the chirp instruction box BEFORE you push DISP/SS on the radio, but within five seconds. This is just a special module to adjust the timing to prove that this is the problem, and then I'll have to do another full build of chirp for the real fix. And please include the debug log.

Radio is an Apple silicon mac, then an Apple USBC to USBA adaptor, then a Prolific USB to serial converter, then the DB9 to RJ45 cable.

Thanks for your help. I never expected to get such a quick response.

Oh, one more thing, we don't have a test image (.img file) for this radio in the tree. Can you attach one for me to add?

Excellent, thanks again!
