Description

I have not been able to program a Yaesu FT-90R with Chirp? I have tried with different versions of Chirp and different computers. I am using a Serial Cable and I know the cable is working because I can read and write to two other Yaesu radios I have. But when I try to read the FT-90R the progress bar does nothing, after a few seconds the radio shows ERROR and Chirp shows the attached error message. Current daily Chirp version installed 20170501.

I have found out from another ham that if the radio is modified for out of band operation it changes the Radio ID. From what I was told in the Linux version of chirp he was able to edit the ft90.py file. Below is his reply to my question regarding issues using Chirp to program the radio.

I had issues when trying to clone wide-banded radios 
 using chirp. It has to do with radio ID string.

 If your radio has been wide-banded try the following.

 Edit ft90.py and make the following change to the ID string

 Default:
 ID = "\x8E\xF6"
 Update to:
 ID = "\x85\xF6"

Though this information maybe of some assistance in finding a solution to this issue.

Thank you!
