Hi,
I'm trying to download an img file from my radio trough chirpc but with no luck.
It keeps telling me that the radio is not connected. I tested this in the gui
and everything worked fine so it's not a bad cable.
I'm on windows python 3.10 and using the latest build from github.
Listing radios does work trough chirpc --list-radios.
DELAY = 5.0
MAX_RETRIES = 5
RETRY_BACKOFF = 2
def download_image(radio_model, com_port, mmap_file="backupimage.img"):
"""
Attempts to download the image from the radio with retry logic.
"""
delay = DELAY
for attempt in range(1, MAX_RETRIES + 1):
try:
cmd = [
sys.executable,
str(CHIRPPATH),
'-r', radio_model,
f'--serial={com_port}',
f'--mmap={mmap_file}',
'--download-mmap'
]
pprint(cmd)
print(f"Attempt {attempt}: Running command: {' '.join(cmd)}")
time.sleep(delay)
result = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True,
check=True)
print("Success:", result.stdout)
return True
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
print(f"Attempt {attempt} failed with code {e.returncode}:
{e.stderr.strip()}")
if attempt < MAX_RETRIES:
print(f"Retrying after {delay} seconds...")
delay *= RETRY_BACKOFF # Exponential backoff
else:
print("Max retries reached. Giving up.")
return False
radio_driver_id = 'Baofeng_UV-25'
com_port = 'COM4' # double checked this!
print(f"\nDownloading image from radio '{radio_driver_id}' on port
'{com_port}'...")
download_image(radio_driver_id, com_port)

Has anyone successfully used chirpc with a UV-25 radio?" or "What am I missing
in my script?
