[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] New Daily Build
by Build System 30 Jun '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-20130630 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #211 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Disable KG-818 file detection (for now) Right now, CHIRP can't tell the difference between a KG-816 and a KG-818, which means it detects both types of files as the same. This patch makes the 818 not detectable to make it consistent (at least) until the problem can really be resolved properly. Fallout from #356

[chirp_users] CHIRP Download to Baofeng Radio
by Bill Kearney 29 Jun '13

29 Jun '13

I have a CHIRP download from my Wouxun KG UVD1P radio. I want to upload that data to a Baofeng UV-B5 radio so that I do not have to manually enter information about approximately 100 sites. Can an upload be done to my radio and, if so, how? Thanks.

[chirp_users] Thanks; 857D fixed
by Timothy Buchanan 25 Jun '13

Thanks for the prompt responses from Marco and Robert. They are correct; I didn't scroll down far enough initially for the US model (stupid me). I was able to recover my freqs however, by converting the file to cvs, downloading the blank list from the radio, importing the freqs from cvs and, after a bit of tweaking, uploaded them back to the radio. Alles gut. Timothy Buchanan (Buck) Money is not wealth. Money may be exchanged for wealth, or money may be exchanged for capital, which produces wealth. But money, itself, is not wealth.

[chirp_users] Help requested for Yaesu 857D
by Timothy Buchanan 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

Following the wiki procedure, I put my 857D in clone mode, set Chirp to download from radio, then pressed the send button on the 857D. It showed sending and the Chirp window populated. The 857D then showed error. I shut it down, then repowered, and all seemed ok. I made a few edits to the .img file in Chirp. Then, again following the wiki, I put the 857D into clone receive and hit upload on Chirp. The clone window completed, then the 857D immediately, without intervention, went into clone sending mode and froze there. Eventually I shut down and repowered, to find that all memories had vanished, along with all other settings (mike select, etc). In short, a hard reset back to factory defaults. Not what I wanted at all. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix? Thanks for any help. Timothy Buchanan (Buck) "Time is our only resource, humor our only defense."

I don't see why this is a problem. I make it a practice to always read from any radio I am going to program. It assures me that the programming interface is functional.

[chirp_users] TH-6 vs Baofeng
by Mike Morrow 24 Jun '13

24 Jun '13

Beofeng is an .img (image) type radio. It is completely unclear in the documentation for new users that you MUST do a download first. The authors claim it is clear except that they don't tell you what radios need it and what to do to create it. Oh, well, clear to some I guess. The TH-F6 is a live radio. You let it populate and then make changes. Menu #9 is the one to change the function of the speaker/mic sockets. It has 3 choices. All obvious. I have both and they operate completely different with the same program. Nice program! Mike/W6XXX
