CHIRP

We need a debug log to do anything with this, per How_To_Report_Issues.

If you can successfully clone both directions with legacy, please include a debug log from legacy so we can compare. I don't know any developers that still have an FT-4 to test with so I'm not sure who will be able to address this, but we need debug logs before we can even try.

Sorry, they're not identical, but they are both from legacy so my request is still the same.

Dan do I delete the current debug file first?

No, chirp deletes and re-creates it every time it starts.

Ray, can you attach a .img of your radio? I need that to figure out the out of range issue.

Also, your next debug log does not include a reproduction of the cloning issue that I can see. So please try:

1. Open chirp
2. Download from your radio
3. Upload right back to the radio
4. Capture and attach a debug log right then per How_To_Report_Issues

Hi Dan,

The issue is I upload the radio into NEXT, add a channel, say #31. Download to radio which flashes RX (correct) then CLONE when complete. When I turn radio off, remove cord, turn radio on, no additional channels written to radio. No channel #31 as sent from NEXT. Same situation works perfect with Legacy. Read, add, write, turn off, turn on and any changes and new channel added. That was the last log that I sent you was strickly uploading, adding channel, writing to radio, close NEXT. So the issue is although the FT4XR shows RX (receiving) nothing is being written to memory. Only with NEXT....

Okay, I think you have your terminology reversed there - I assume you mean download the radio into chirp and upload the changes back to the radio.

And your issue happens all the time? Unless you show me a debug log of that and I can spot a problem, I won't be able to help without access to a radio. But if there's something exposed in that log I can probably fix it.

Please also test the module and attach a copy of your image so I can try to resolve the out of range issue with loading the contents.

Hello Dan and thank you!

I think I see what the issue is. The changes I’m making are not saving to the image file.

I didn’t see a place for me to add a comment to ticket 10744 below so adding my answers. I do appreciate the help. After spending time this morning downloading, making changes and documenting my steps, I was about to answer your questions below when I noticed your “save and re-open” step. I was saving the file, but not re-opening the file.

To answer your other questions from below:

1) radio works exactly as expected but doesn't actually upload any changes? Radio works as expected including TX/RX progress bar and “Clone OK”
2) No changes are made; NO error messages.

I have the documentation from today’s session if you’re interested but didn’t attach them here as they seem moot at this point if the changes are being saved.

Hello Dan,

I was able to export the image file as a CSV file with the changes intact but still not able to save the tab as an image file.

Not able to save... at all? That's not what I meant by "changes were not saved" although that does fall in line with the problem as I think it is.

Make sure you've loaded the latest module I attached with LoadingTestModules . Then do your download, make changes, save the file, try your upload, and then capture a debug log per How_To_Report_Issues and attach it here.

I don't have one of these radios, so I can't do the download/upload step and as such, I have to have the debug log from your attempt to see what's going on.

Working well. Added several more channels to memory and moved them into a separate bank.

Great, I'll get this change queued up for the regular build then. Thanks for your help!

Hi Dan, I just wanted to come full circle and confirm the latest build is working on the FT-65. Thank you once again.

Glad to hear it, thanks!
