Thank you, Jim. That did the trick. At first, I did not think that the plug was having problems, but after unplugging and re-plugging a couple of times, and pushing harder, it did read the existing memory and I was able to re-program the radio. I think that I will follow your suggestion and get a couple of patch cables to remove the problem. > > Jim KC9HI > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/postorius/lists/users.lists.chirpmyradio.com > To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] > To report this email as off-topic, please email > [email protected] > List archives: > https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/ _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/postorius/lists/users.lists.chirpmyradio.com To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] To report this email as off-topic, please email [email protected] List archives: https://lists.chirpmyradio.com/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/
