I read something about there being diffrent versions which require separate programming software. I think it was on the Baeofeng USA website.

I use CHIRP for UV-5R and like it fine. However,I want to use it for my mobile and I got an error "Global name "data undefined". I got a copy of the Icom sw and it will not connect either. I am using Vista and a genuine Prolific cable. Am getting worn out up and down steps carrying the laptop. HELP! What does that error message denote? 73 GL CUL DE WA8WHP (FRANK) AR

I think no matter what radio you are programming you always need to download from the radio first. Jock KC6IIH In a message dated 10/24/2012 9:19:40 A.M.

What you cannot do, is load one radio, then go to the other radio, and load it. When you go to the other version, you need to download from the radio, the open the file with all your saved info, and upload it to the new radio. In other words, download from the radio, even if you do not intend to use the file, that seems to be what tells chirp what version radio you have.

[chirp_users] mac osx (lion) daily build chirp and rr database access missing ?suds?
by Guy Teague 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

hi folks: after filling out login form and zipcode, receive the following error: Suds library required for RadioReference.com import. > Try installing your distribution's python-suds package. i checked with some of the bug pages and found one user who provided approx 10-12 steps to fix this. unsure if his workaround is the accepted way to do it though. just wondering if someone can point me to an 'approved' way to install this library. also, i also noticed today that installing the kk7ds runtime left the /opt directory hanging out in the breeze in that it is not hidden like the rest of the / folders. i did a 'sudo chflags hidden /opt' to hide it, but i'm unsure of the ramifications of doing that. thanks, /guy (73 de kg5vt | wqpz784)

Some repeaters need the tones in both receive and transmit modes. Tone squelch uses a tone to open the squelch Jock KC6IIH Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab JOCK KC6IIHGaryErrol <garyerrol(a)comcast.net> wrote:While I know what CTCSS and DCS tones are and how to program them, I don't know what the differences between Tone vs Tone Sql & DTCS Code vs DTCS Rx Code are.

[chirp_users] Copy Paste Function
by J Brown 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

Am I wrong or is there a copy & paste function? Also, when I downloaded my original load to the chirp software the PL tones that I used in the other software transferred over fine, but when I add frequencies using the chirp software for my UV5RC, I input the PL tones, but after I hit OK, they go back to the default. How to fix this? Judith Brown KS1ANG
