Hello All,
I just sent a copy of Chirp to a friend whose greatest strengths are
not with the computer.
He is a Ham, KF0LPQ.
He has an Icom 7300.
He wants to program in some memories for 6 and 10 meter repeaters, the
6 meter ones are likely only going for local use, so that is not a big
deal in this request.
I don't have this model of radio, so I'm hoping someone here with this
model has some memories in a file that you could send my way, and I can
help him import it into Chirp and I'll help him upload it to his radio.
Thanks.

Hi Glenn,
Lots of meat in this thread.
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
