Description
I have a Yaesu 2900 that has the MARS mod done to it, and I am trying to read/write the presets to the radio. When trying to read from the radio, I follow these steps.
- Connect FTDI cable between radio and computer
- Power on radio in cloning mode
- Start CHiRP
- Select radio->download from radio
- Set model to Yaesu FT-2900R/1900R
- Press Ok
- Hit "Set" button on radio to start upload.
CHiRP will then display the "Failed to communicate with radio: Failed to read header." message, and the radio will display an ERROR.
What I have tried:- Changing the sequence of these steps
- Factory resetting the radio
- Reinstalling the cable's FTDI and Prolific drivers.
- Restarting my computer
- Using a different USB port.
I am using CHiRP daily-20210416
When enabling developer options, I see the following in the log:

I am eager to get this issue resolved, and will help however I can.

Potentially related: I have tried using a program called FTB2900 and received the following error there: "The radio identifier expected was X'564332300' but the identifier actually received was X'564332301'"
This program can be found on g4hfq's website.

- File ft2900.py added
I have found a related issue with a driver that works. I was able to load the driver through the "Load Module" dialogue. It appears to work...

Jon, the latest daily release includes a patch for the FT1900/FT2900 to handle the MARS Mod. It's a separate entry in the model drop down [FT2900R/1900R(TXMod)].
