Description

I have two older retevis rt22 which are working fine. Recieved an additional 2 radios today and none ov them can be read with chirp.
Cant load my configuration to the new radios.

Have read reported issues alot and cant find a solution. Installed latest windows release as of today before even trying.

Debug log attached.

Seems to be solutions for some but no guidance how to fix it on a windows installation.

Ok, managed to solve it so here is the way to if someone else don't get it either.

  • Old RT22 connects and you save an image of that configuration.

  • Disconnect the old RT22 and connect a new RT22 (says RT622 behid the battery)

  • In chirp go to File and Load module, load the attached file by Dan Oleary (also found in issue #6747)

  • You can now read the new RT(6)22 (save a copy of the configuration).

  • Open the image from the old RT22 and write it to the radio. Radio can no longer be read whilest the module is loaded.

Restart Chirp

  • You can now read the newer RT22 as easy as the old ones without loading the module.

  • Repeat with another radio if needed.

What is the "File and Load module" in CHIRP (mentioned by Abbe Virta above)?
I do not see anything like that in any of the CHIRP menu choices.
Please help!

Using CHIRP daily from september. There is no File -> Load option, only File -> Open.
I did open the file retevis_rt22_butchered.py and then tried to clone my new RT622 (European version of RT22) but I only get an error message, "Radio identification failed"
