Description

Hello,

I downloaded CHIRP 0.4.0 and tried to connect to my IC-91A. Upon selecting ICOM, IC-91A/92AD and the right serial port, none of the frequencies are downloaded and all of the "Name" columns contain "ERROR" as seen in the attached screenshot named "Chirp-IC91A-Screenshot.jpg". Using the same USB-to-Serial cable, I was able to download and configure my FT-60R as well as my FT-817ND, which tells me I have the right drivers.

Radio: Icom IC-91A
Cable: OPC1529R (made by Icom)
FTDI USB to Serial: made by Tripplite
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.9.3

Just to be thorough, I tested with 3 versions of CHIRP.

The current release 0.4.0 (build_0.4.0_debug.log)¶

The latest daily build (build_20140428_debug.log)¶

Version 0.2.2 (build_0.2.2_debug.log)¶

I was able to download frequencies and configure the radio with build 0.2.2, but not with the 2 newer releases.

Hi Horacio,
the file in attach should solve the problem, unluckily I don't have an IC9x to test it so I need your assistance.
In the daily package you downloaded please replace the existing ic9x_icf.py in Contents/Resources/chirp/ folder with the one in attach then start chirp and try connecting to your IC91A.

I'll wait for your feedback to include patch in daily build.

I see from debug log you renamed original file to ORIG_ic9x_icf.py, this way python still find and load it.
Please change it to different extension (eg. ORIG_ic9x_icf.py.bak) and try again.

Tnx for collaboration.

Even renaming it to .BAK didn't work. It still got compiled into a .pyc. I had to delete the original file completely, that was able to get it working! I am now able to download and program the IC-91A.

Thank you!!
