Leixen Vv-898 Sp User Manual Instructions
So I'm having a rather annoying issue reading from my radio. I've tried everything, leading up to finally posting my problem here. When I go to read information from radio, I've recently been getting an 'ERROR' message. It doesn't display as a popup, or anything invasive. Instead the computer and radio think a successful 'read' just occurred, but it sneaks an error in there anyway. I feel like I'm missing something stupid simple.
So here is my setup. Radio is a Leixen VV-898SP (Backpack Version) with the standard setup with stock antenna and mic. Radio pack is fully charged when off the wall, so power isnt an issue here. I'm using two different, but similar programming cables to connect it to my Windows Xp Professional SP3 32-bit machine. (Both cables Im using are stock USB-RJ45 programming cables shipped with this radio. They have worked for me in the passed.) Ive been using CHIRP (latest build) and the VV898 User v03 software to try getting the info from this radio. I haven't attempted the Jetstream JT270 program yet, but I feel the results would be similar.
After setting the proper Com Port, and making sure the stock USB to RJ45 cable was connected, I turn on the radio, and attempt to read. The radio will say 'Waiting' on the display, and will take about 30 seconds for CHIRP to read it all. It all seems like its reading ok. In CHIRP, the error message appears in the first channel. A little strange. Picture below.
Apologies in advance! I know the pictures are hard to look at. I had to take pictures of my screen.
I attempted using the Jet settings comparable with this radio, to no avail.
I tried reading it in the Leixen 1.03 programming software (Version 200.100.3), and it will pop up with a box 'Please check all connections and communication port settings!'
I know darn well my connections are sound (drivers installed and working) and my com ports are set correctly.
What could I be doing wrong? Thank you for any input.
