New Model #280
closedIcom IC-W32E
100%
Description
IC-W32E cloning doesn't appear to be compatible with the W32A model.
Is there a simple workaround I can do to the W32A file??

Can you include a debug log so we can see where it fails? Ideally from the latest daily build. Thanks!

This is due to the different model-ID. The W32A uses the hex id 18 82 00
01 while the W32E uses 18 82 00 02! So no response from a W32E appears...
For a quick solution you can modify the ICW32A-PY-file (as sugested above).
Find the line
_model = "\x18\x82\x00\x01"
and change it to
_model = "\x18\x82\x00\x02"
everything should run smooth after that!
As this is just a quick workaround it would be nice to see a proper definition-file and the IC-W32E added to the list of compatible gear...
Regards, David

Hi David,
here is an updated version of the driver which (should) support IC-W32E.
To test please
save the icw32.py from this issue page somewhere on your pc (click on the file link and on the following page use download link)¶
Install last CHIRP daily build¶
Load CHIRP¶
Click Help in the menu bar and enable "Enable Developer Functions"¶
Click File -> Load Module and load the file that was saved earlier¶
Then you'll find IC-W32E close to IC-W32A in radio list
The last step must be repeated all time you'll start Chirp to use the modified module otherwise the stock one will be used, no permanent modification of Chirp install will be done.
The operations that need testing are: download from radio, upload to radio, save image file and load image file
I'll be waiting for your feedback, If it works as expected i'll send this for inclusion in new versions.

P.S.
Sorry for long delay ...

Hi Marco,
at least my delay was even longer than yours! I had a lot of trouble during the last months workwise! But this is solved now and I have time again for really important thing like ham-radio...
I just installed your icw32.py and it is running smooth. I guess the same issue/solution would help with the IC-Q7A and and IC-Q7E and all the other icom radios which have A and E prefixes!
Thanks again and vy73 de David DL4DKA

Thanks for the feedback, I sent the update for inclusion in upcoming daily build.
For other radios a specific issue should be opened from some one who can test it :)
