Bug #6343
closedFailed to communicate, unexpected response - Icom ID-880H
0%
Description
On Windows 7 and Arch Linux I receive "Failed to communicate with the radio: Unexpected response from the radio" when trying to read an Icom ID-880H, displayed nearly immediately after I start the read. Linux is daily 20181018 installed from the AUR, and Windows is a fresh download and install of daily 20180102.
On Linux I see the following on the console at read-time:
ERROR: -- Exception: --
ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 256, in run

self._mmap = clone_from_radio(self)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/drivers/icf.py", line 290, in clone_from_radio
raise errors.RadioError("Failed to communicate with the radio: %s" % e)

ERROR: ----------------
ERROR: Clone failed: Failed to communicate with the radio: Unexpected response from radio

On Windows, the Icom software works fine.

Have you been able to resolve this on your own since you submitted this?
Have you tried with a recent version since you submitted this?
This could be a cable / driver / connector issue. Please refer to these Wiki articles:
CableGuide
CableGuide FTDI OEM Cables
[RTSystemsCablesAndMavericks]
If there's no solution to be found in any of them, please read: How To Report Issues and provide a debug log. Thank you!
Windows notes: If you are using a generic cable with a Prolific chip, you will very likely need to downgrade your driver to version 3.2.0.0.
It can be found at http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php
MacOS notes: this OS is apparently very picky about USB to Serial cables. From what I heard, only (genuine) FTDI-based cables can be made work.
You must have the KK7DS Python runtime for Mac OSX installed.
