[chirp_users] Kenwood F6A / D72A
by Eric Shattow 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

I have Kenwood TH-F6A and TH-D72A. Is group memory naming possible in CHIRP? There are also some missing D72A menu settings, like uploading a boot or gps-only picture. I am able to capture serial messages from official programming software as needed. Is there any programmer interest to write the Kenwood vendor-specific support in CHIRP? Eric / KF7SUE

Re: [chirp_users] Offset on UV-5R FW Ver BFB293

Apparently this is an issue on the radio, not with the Chirp software. After programming the offset with Chirp, it operates on the local repeater (with the offset that I put in Chirp) as it should even though it doesn't display the offset on the radio menu. I should have tested this out a little more before submitting the first message. Apologies. 73, Daniel KK4MKZ On Wed, Nov 14, 2012 at 2:00 PM, <chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > wrote: > Send chirp_users mailing list submissions to > chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of chirp_users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

[chirp_users] Offset on UV-5R FW Ver BFB293
by Daniel Marcum 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

I realize this is a new version of the firmware for this radio and that there are several compatibility issues and such (like with the Settings menu), so this may already be a known issue. When using the CHIRP daily-20121106 software, if you set an offset (0.600 for example) in the software and upload it to the radio, then go to the offset menu item on the radio it will just show 00.000. 73, Daniel KK4MKZ
