Description

N.B.: My understanding is that the ID-51A Anniversary edition is equivalence classed with the ID-51A Plus, if this is incorrect and the anniversary edition is not supported please close the issue with my apologies.

I'm receiving the error "Failed to communicate with the radio: Unexpected response from radio" when downloading from the radio.

The following stack trace is presented:
[2017-12-10 16:07:22,383] chirp.ui.common - ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 249, in run

raise errors.RadioError("Failed to communicate with the radio: %s" % e)
RadioError: Failed to communicate with the radio: Unexpected response from radio

Although I'm not familiar with the code, I think the exception is being thrown from icf.py:145 in get_model_data.

I am using an RT Systems branded cable but I have created a udev rule to ensure that the ftdi_sio driver is used:
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2100", ATTRS{idProduct}=="9e5f", ATTRS{serial}=="RTMFF71", SYMLINK+="Radio", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -q ftdi_sio vendor=0x2100 product=0x9e5f"

Verified driver is loaded using usb-devices:
T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 7 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1

Some Icom radios are known to deny cooperation with FTDI cables (even genuine ones). Please try a cable with a genuine Prolific chip.
Unfortunately cables with fake "Prolific" chips make the vast majority of cables on the market; genuine Prolific cables are on the more expensive side.
Let us know whether this helps, please!
