Hi John, Yes, I know what you mean about the live programming, I've experienced that when programming my TH-F6. I have programmed my 2000, but I don't remember if it did the live programming thing. I look forward to hearing about your successes here.

Using Chirp with the IC-7300 is what is being usefully called a LIVE connection. I've experienced this already with some Kenwood 2 m / 70 cm FM mobiles/HTs. Works fine. There is something that looks like a Download (filling the Chirp table.) There is nothing like one might expect with an Upload. With a LIVE connection, as soon as one makes data (text) changes in the table it's in the radio. So, there is no .img Upload per se. I've had great difficulty with programming my IC-7300 for repeaters. Even some other frequencies have proved difficult. This _may_ be as I'm using a single USB-A / USB-B cable. I've just been loaned an RTL cable that is apparently like an ICOM OPC-478 or similar. That may work better. No idea, yet. I don't think you're going to "talk him", or anyone, even a sighted op through this. You'll likely need to see things, see where your mentor is in the process. Perhaps do-able with a screen share. What does work with Chirp in general, and I'm banging away on now with the IC-7300, is downloading a mess of data from several repositories. I've programmed other radios using the interface/access to/with RepeaterBook. That is cool. In this case it accesses the site and will fill a Chirp tab with my choice of 50 MHz repeaters, however I'm having difficulty moving or copy/pasting data from that table (in the neighbouring tab) into the radio one. If I find any success I'll mention it. I think the well trod path to finding someone with a local file is pretty passé. Why I'm checking with RepeaterBook. 73, John -- John D Erskine VE7MHI VA7OTC _______________________________________________ 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]/
