I know that at least a few local hams aren't comfortable enough on the CLI to handle using DStarCom. I hadn't really thought it could be "that hard" and thought their opinion a bit frustrating when there "was a solution", but I ran through using DStarCom yesterday afternoon trying to help a new ic-91ad owner (with a used ic-91ad and parts), and loaded the new .icf file to find nothing had changed -- we'd used the readme to be sure we knew what we were fiddling with and we had a rather detailed export to work from. We tried it again after trimming memory names to 8 characters, and that time it overwrote the one "B" memory we were leaving alone with the radio's default. While I'm sure it was likely end-user error on our part, it was still frustrating that about 1.5 hours into the project we couldn't reprogram his radio. Having figured out that he needed to fix his serial cable as part of the first hour of frustration, at that point we just used the RS-91 software and figured his copy of RS-91 would work now that he knew the short in the cable was likely his com port problem. I sent him home with the two csv files (original and modified), the original .icf file and a copy of DStarCom, and I'm sure he'll decide what is easiest for him, as he's not unhappy with using a command prompt. I know I had to play around a bit with using a CSV to import into the 92, so I'm sure with more time we could have gotten this to work fine, but for some people this is just too much hassle. > > > -- > John D.
