[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 23 Feb '13

23 Feb '13

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20130223 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #171 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add AnyTone 5888UV support Note that the upload/download process takes much longer than the OEM software at this point. That is because the OEM software is optimizing by checking to see what memories are in use and only down/uploading the parts of the memory that it has to. This may be added in chirp at a later date, but it's tricky to get correct. Addresses #365 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add ALL_DTCS_CODES and use that for gating the memory values Also adds valid_dtcs_codes to RadioFeatures, defaulting to the common set so nothing else should have to change. Needed for #365 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make crashing tests report where in the test they're being called from Need while working on #365 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix parse_freq to handle cases like ".6" after recent change Broken in the fix for #595

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-B5
by Jon Stromsland 22 Feb '13

22 Feb '13

I recently purchased a Baofeng UV-B5 because of it's improved receiver however when I try to program with Chirp it does not recognize the radio. Chirp works perfectly with my UV-5RA and I am wondering if Chirp will support the UV-B5 in the future or am I doing something wrong. Jon

[chirp_users] XP Runtime error
by Howard Small 21 Feb '13

I am trying to run Chirp on an ASUS Eee PC with Windows XP. The OS is a stripped down version to fit the limited storage on the PC. I get the error message "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem." Can anyone suggest the cause please? Thanks Howard

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R+Upload Error
by Doug Gilbert 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Model: Baofeng UV-5R+ Firmware: BFB297 Driver: Prolilfic 3.2.0.0 Operating System: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Chirp: Daily Build 20121222 I just purchased the UV-5R+ and tried to connect it up to Chirp. Got through the driver installation and Chirp software install thanks to the documentation provided on MIKLOR. I am able to Download the radio parameters into Chirp fine - the "Cloning" window pops up and everything appears to show fine. However after making a frequency change to one channel and trying to Upload the changes back to the radio, I get the message: "Unsupported Firmware Version BFB301 BFB297". This happens right after the "Cloning" window pops up. Since there are so many variables to analyze for potential problems, I downloaded the Baofeng VIP software version: V120725 and tried the same scenario - everything seems to work fine there - Download/Upload. Is Firmware Version BFB297 supported yet by CHIRP? Thanks, Doug

[chirp_users] Vista problems
by Davecenturytel 20 Feb '13

Hi I am having trouble with Chirp. I have chirp running a windows XP home desk top and it works great. I have it running on windows 7 Laptop and it works great. My son windows Vista Laptop and we are having trouble openning a file or saving it. When I have a file download from the UV5R I can enter anything that I want to. but I can not save that file. When I click "save as" it does nothing at all. If I close the program it opens a little window open and asks if I want to save, delete or cancel, I select save and nothing happens. I can also click open from the file drop down and nothing opens or happens. I think this Vista machine is the problem, what do you think Thanks Dave Barber

Re: [chirp_users] Saving file

So your having problem saving the chirp file that you created. Question is can you save in other applications? For example can you save somthing in notepad? NO same error ? then its something with your operating system. If yes then its not the OS but its pointing towards the software. Remember its BETA.. which means it may be something that does not like your hardware or something like that. Make sure you have the current version of CHIRP. Try removing and reinstalling.. make a small file so as not to waste time adding a lot of information in. Can the software read the information in your radio ? Are the drivers installed correctly? Check your MSCONFIG file for anything that might be a problem with your system. Temporally, pause your virus program.. Try these tips one at a time to find out if any of them work. Have you tried the software that comes from the manufactor of your radio? You have to try determine if the problem is with your OS or with the program. Hope this helps.
