Bug #6617
closedIcom IC-2300H RF power settings
100%
Description
Hello, There are four power level settings in this transceiver: LOW MID-LOW MID HIGH. I entered one line of information to upload to my radio. On this one line I chose a power setting of MidLow using the drop-down menu in CHIRP. I'll save the CHIRP file, close the file, re-open the file... and the power setting cell is blank. I've tried uploading the power setting to the IC-2300H and the radio remains in HIGH power. I'm a brand-new user of CHIRP, so I apologize if my bug report is inaccurate or inappropriate. Regards, Curt / K7ZOO

Enclosing the debug file, in case it is of help.

Here's a good, clear example: I set the power on a handful of channels (see screenshot). I then saved the file, closed the file, retrieved the file, and the power settings (previously entered) were not present (see screenshot). de K7ZOO

It seems to still be a problem with "CHIRP daily-20191123".

This seems to still be an issue. I am unable to update and save power settings for Icom-IC2300h

From looking at the code, the developer of the ic2300 driver didn't implement power level setting at all, which explains why it is having no effect. It shouldn't have exposed the "I can do power levels" feature at all in that case, but...
Unfortunately, resolving this will likely require a developer who owns or has access to this radio. I don't have one so I can't fix this directly.
If someone wants to generate a differential image I can try to suss out the problem, but it may not be that easy. Steps:
- Go into VFO mode, set power to high
- Save the contents to channel N
- Change power to mid, save to channel N+1
- Change power to mid-low, save to channel N+2
- Change power to low, save to channel N+3
Try to avoid doing anything else between steps, and then capture the end state of the radio and attach it here, and tell me what N is.

Hi Dan,
THANK YOU for offering to help out! This is a really solid transceiver, and it would be super if the power feature worked. I own three of these units. Attached is a file generated after following your directions. N=1
If there's anything else you need, please don't hesitate to ask.
Regards,

Okay, good directions-following Curt :)
I'm attaching a module for you to test before we put this into the build. Instructions are:
- Turn on Help->Enable Developer Functions
- Restart Chirp
- File->Load Module, choose the ic2300_20200203.py file I've attached
- Download from your radio, see if the power levels look right compared to what is in the radio.
- Change at least one memory to each power level, different from what it is
- Upload to the radio and confirm on the radio that they look good.
If it all looks good, I can put it into the build for whatever day follows confirmation.
Thanks!

Hi Dan,
1 Turned on Help > Enable Developer Functions
2 Restarted CHIRP
3 File > Load Module ...choose the ic2300_20200203.py file you supplied
4 The attached error message popped up.
Thoughts?

I think you probably downloaded the file incorrectly (like right-click save grabbed an html page instead of the actual one). Can you open the .py file with a plain text editor (like notepad) and see if it starts with "# Copyright 2017..." ?
Updated by Curt Laumann almost 5 years ago
Yep, I think you are right, in that I downloaded it incorrectly. Here's what the downloaded file looks like in Notepad:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Let me try and download it again. Sorry about this confustion.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It Works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Super -- this is going to be very cool, being able to program the power setting where I want them... Thanks a million, Dan!
