Hi Folks, Does CHIRP support the TYT-UVF1 FM HT? It's another one of those type approved cheap Chinese HT's. I can provide a memory file if it helps. Mark -- /\/\ark Phillips

I MAY be making progress. I turned off the buffers on the laptop (as outlined below), and reinstalled ver 0.1.11 to use with the VX-3 (you will recall I had switched to ver 0.1.10 on the laptop, just to try it to see if any difference). I now have something in the debug file! Here is what it says: Log initialized Clone thread started -- Exception: -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "chirpui\clone.pyo", line 217, in run File "chirp\yaesu_clone.pyo", line 178, in sync_in File "chirp\yaesu_clone.pyo", line 69, in clone_in File "chirp\yaesu_clone.pyo", line 44, in chunk_read File "serial\serialwin32.pyo", line 195, in read CloneCancelledException ------ Clone failed: Clone thread ended Hopefully that will mean something to you. At least the log says something more than "log initialized". Thanks very much for your help. 73, Ken, W8EK D.

[chirp_users] Chirp Data transfer
by Ken Simpson, W8EK 04 Jul '11

I am am new to the idea of programming radios from the computer, and the chirp software looks good. But I can not get it to work! I have a Yaesu VX-3 (among others) that I would like to program. I installed the CHIRP program. I also have the USB cable that I got from e-bay. It is installed, and at least it says that it is working OK, and is on Com 3. I thought that I needed to go to "Radio" and then "Download from radio" and get the data that is presently in the VX-3. At least that seems logical to me! I try to go that, but can not get the data from the VX-3. I do get the box that says "Cloning from radio". It says Com 3 OK, and appears that it is trying to download the data from the VX-3. I have the VX-3 in clone mode, and it says it is transmitting data (I pushed "Band" after getting into clone mode, and the display says "Tx"). That sounds like it should work, but it times out after about 30 seconds or so. Nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. 73, Ken, W8EK Ken Simpson E-mail to W8EK(a)FLHam.net or W8EK(a)arrl.net Voice Phone (352) 732-8400

[chirp_users] Transfer of data from VX7 to W32a
by DD Lewis 03 Jul '11

I am confused. I have no problem downloading from a radio, editing, then uploading the data to the same radio. I'm lost when I download from one model then try to upload to another model. Some help is needed. Thank you
