![]() I have to give the clone utility 1 star since it seems mostly broken. But a properly crafted CVS, or indeed, one exported by the program itself should import more then just the simplex options in the config. I can understand the CVS import failing (to an extent). In my mind, the com port selection should be with the File\Write menus, not where it can get lost. Turns out you have to select all the channels you want to upload. You lose the option to configure the com port the clone software expects to use! Once I tried a bigger monitor (for some reason the external display on my netbook goes to 1280) I was able to select the proper COM port and then only upload the first channel of my config. You’ll notice off in the right hand side a dropdown saying “COM3.” Yes, that’s right. Here’s from a VM shrunk down:Īnd here’s from a VM that I left at the full 1920×1080 of my new computer: Until you get a larger screen though, you won’t be able to do anything about it. If you’ve worked serial ports before you’ll instinctively know what the problem is. If you’re working on a smaller computer, like a netbook you’ll get a cryptic error message. Copy/paste does work though, so once you struggle through setting up the first repeater you can copy\paste and then edit the rest:īut here’s what really screwed me up (for to long). I don’t understand the problem and ended up putting in the first memory manually. I could not load repeaters from the cvs file (even one that was exported by the software itself). Once I was able to edit my cvs file to match the exported format from the software, … I was barely able to import simplex channels. I received strange errors like “Subtone NG : Line=3” until I managed to craft a CVS file that the program was happy with: But … it appears that the cvs import is broken. ![]() But it does actually install, and run.Ĭonfiguring channels is hard – let’s export from my CHIRP config and remix that to import as the clone utility. Good thing we just keep clicking next right? Ugh. ![]() Net 4.5 which is happily installs … with a japanese installer. Hopefully this will help someone having a bonehead day.įirst – it requires. I’m going to relate a few things about the programming software as I haven’t seen any documentation. Another was that it was not yaesu\icom.Īnother one of the things that attracted me to the Alinco’s DR-735 Clone Utility was the programming software … which is actually terrible and undocumented. One of the things that attracted me to the was the crossbanding feature. I intend to purchase 2 of the same radios, one of which will reside in my go-box and one which will be installed in my new car (that I do not own yet). I recently purchased a new VHF\UHF radio. ![]()
