[chirp_users] Input out of range freq channels
by Yahoo 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

Hello, I have a Baofeng uv5r. I use chirp to add channels freqüência, and to unlock it. But the channel painel doesn't allowed me to input freqüentes that are out of. The original range, such as 980mhz! Despite chirp unlock till 1khz for me Dr. André Berger CRM 115.404 / SP Oftalmologista drberger(a)vita-clinica.com www.vita-clinica.com (11) 2691-0118

I have used mine successfully, TX/RX, above 512 MHz.

Gary N9PTC Just because a radio will receive something under some conditions, does not mean that it is "usable". I can listen to WWV in FM mode and hear the broadcast perfectly fine. I can listen to the various NOAA FM weather stations in AM mode and hear the broadcast perfectly fine. In Los Angeles I could listen to the (very near) local AM broadcast station on any frequency on some radios (including FM broadcast-only receivers). _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users

IIRC, we chose the limit upper boundary to be the highest useful frequency it can be used for. If it is really capable of locking that high on receive, then we should probably make it honor the limits set by the user instead of the arbitrary ones we chose.

[chirp_users] Anytone AT5888UV CHIRP build 2-24-2013
by William Griffith II 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

LOL certainly not ready for primetime. I advise not to use this software with your AT5888UV. Works maybe 20% the way you would want. Big trouble with data written to radio that in no way matches what's entered. Made my radio inoperable until I restored factory defaults. Platform, Windows 7, 32 bit professional. Software, CHIRP daily-20130224.

[chirp_users] FT8800R
by Jimmy Dominguez 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

I tried to read a FT8800 radio; I just get an error about not being able to read the header. I followed the 8800 process to put it in clone mode. I used the latest production version of Chirp. As you may be able to tell, this is my first time to try chirp, so if you can direct me on what information I may provide to aid in directing me that would be most welcome. Windows 7 laptop being used. Not urgent. Regards, Jimmy

[chirp_users] ICOM IC-2100H
by Lynch Scott-RTTV40 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

I did a read from my Icom IC-2100 using Chirp. All the memories that were in the radio were loaded into chirp successfully, but there was one additional column called ToneSql that was set for all channels to 88.5. I do not use a Receive tone squelch on any of the channels, so not sure why this column is showing up after the read from the radio. Also, there does not seem to be a way to set the ToneSql to not be active. The drop down menu for each channel does not have a "n/a" or "none" option, just more tone frequencies. How do I make the tone squelch inactive for the receive so I can add some frequencies to the current list and then write back to the radio? Can I just "hide" the ToneSql column and then when I do the write the ToneSql will not be written to the radio? Scott Lynch Freescale Semiconductor MSG R&D 480-413-2723

[chirp_users] Import error of Kenwood HMK file
by Kevin Whipp 23 Feb '13

23 Feb '13

I'm using the Chirp daily build 20130223 running on Windows 7. I am no longer able to import a HMK file into Chirp. I get an error window with the message "Unknown file format". I have attempted the import with files generated from both the MCP-2A and MCP-4A Kenwood programs. Did the import process break recently? ----- *Kevin Whipp* Phone: 240.242.9850 Amateur Radio: W3KDW Email: w3kdw(a)arrl.net | Winlink: w3kdw(a)winlink.org Schedule Meeting: http://schedule.whipp.us
