[chirp_users] I got an unsupported xinchuang TR-N7 radio, how can I add support for it?

Is there any place I can upload... say a "serial dump" file of communication between it and some propriety software (named SV83) ? I managed to create a serial sniffer cable, so if I have a place to upload it, then you guys could inspect and add support for it. Heck I think having a dedicated place to upload serial dumps would be great for reverse engineering efforts.

[chirp_users] FTDI USB Cables with non-default IDs (RT Systems, etc.)
by Robert Terzi 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

I added a page to the wiki with information on using FTDI cables that have been modified to use a non-default (proprietary) ID such as those from RT Systems. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CableGuide_FTDI_OEM_Cables It can still use some work. In particular, I wasn't able to use NQ1E's trick under Windows XP to get it to use the FTDI VCP driver without touching the .inf files. The procedure does work under Windows 7 and possibly other versions. (The difference is that while both Windows 7 and XP detect that the cable ID doesn't match what's in the .inf file, Windows XP won't let you update the driver, Windows 7 will warn you but let you click through to proceed.) The only way I was able to get the RT Systems cable to show up as a COM port under Windows XP was to create a custom .inf file using FTDI's utility for making .infs. If anyone has a better way, I'd be interested in it. While I was adding the link for this page, I couldn't resist doing some editing of the main cable guide page: http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CableGuide Comments and corrections welcome.

Sigh. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add support for testing writes to bitwise unit tests And fix a buglet found in the process. Related to the tests added in #547 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] bitwise: add "bit" type for reading arrays of single-bit flags. #727 Example usage: struct { char name[8]; bit ch_enable_flag[128]; u8 unknown[8]; } scan_list[17];

Is there any way to convert the attached file which was exported from a Yaesu FT8800. I want to be able to tranfer the same set of frequencies to my other radios so that they all match. They are the ICOM 208H, Icom W32A & BAOFENG UV-5R thank you for all you guys do. I love the CHIRP software. ________________________________ From: "chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com" <chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Sent: Monday, March 25, 2013 3:27 PM Subject: chirp_users Digest, Vol 51, Issue 50 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..."

[chirp_users] Chirp on Wouxun
by Corey Siegel, KJ6LDJ 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi, I have been using Chirp for my Wouxun KG-UV3D (quite successfully) and am trying to use my radio as a packet station. One of the missing components is a working hamlib configuration. I was hoping someone can point me towards some resources on the Wouxun CAT commands so that I can work with the hamlib folks to get this working. I looked through the Chirp Wouxun-specific source code files, but it's a bit tough for me to decipher. Thanks, Corey Siegel

[chirp_users] support request
by John Schumacher 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hello, This is my first post to the group. I am very interested in using Chirp for programming my radios, but there are two that I do not see on the list. I seems that one can request that a radio can be added. Here are the radios below. I would like to request support for two radios that I own: 1. Yaesu FT-8100 2. Icom IC-T90A Thanks and 73 John N4DOU
