Bug #7421
closedYaesu VX-7R - RadioError: Failed to communicate with the radio: Radio did not ack block 1
0%
Description
Hello,
Thanks for all your work on this program, however I am receiving an error when I try using it to program my Yaesu VX-7R.
I have been able to read the contents of my radio's memories using the same cable, which was bought this month from Amazon UK. ["link":https://www.amazon.co.uk//dp/B07TJQR3J4/]
I used the Chirp UI to delete all the memories programmed by the previous owner of the radio. When trying to upload to the radio I receive this error message: Failed to communicate with the radio: Radio did not ack block 1
I'm using CHIRP daily-20191206.
I get the same error on Mac and PC.
I think the first time I tried it the error message says that the radio did not ack block 0, but I'm not sure. Ever since it is block 1 that is not acked.
This has wiped all the stored frequencies from the VX-7R.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I just checked and I'm able to upload and download with my VX7 just fine, so I think it must be hardware related.
It wasn't clear to me from your report: are you able to download just fine, but not upload (write) to the radio?
The VX7 has an annoying connector on the top and it's very easy to not have that seated well enough to provide solid serial communication. Any chance that's part of the problem?

Yes, that's exactly it. I can read but not write.

Well, the cable is screwed in all the way and I've tried spraying contact cleaner in there.
But I have now tried with the VX-7 Commander software too, and that doesn't work either, so I guess it's a problem with either my radio or the cable. Sorry for wasting your time.

Okay, sorry to hear that, I'll close this for now.
