I have been working with a friend to help him us CHIRP. On his computer (windows7) when I click Radio at the top of the screen opens the pull down window but it does not do anything if I try to click download. I can not download a file from the radio. If I open a file and have on the screen it will not let me upload to the radio. There is no error message or any indication at all on the screen. What can I do. Dave

[chirp_users] Basic CSV help
by Chris Kantarjiev 13 Jul '13

13 Jul '13

I must be doing something fundamentally wrong. I'm trying for the first time to use make my channel definitions in a CSV file, rather than just using a radio-specific file. I think I have the right format, but CHIRP always tells me "no channels found". I've attached a sample with one channel definition. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

[chirp_users] CHIRP - support for ICOM IC-2300H
by Jim MacKenzie 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, I've really been enjoying CHIRP - I started using it a few weeks before I got my callsign in April. It's made programming my HTs and one of my mobile rigs a real pleasure. I've now acquired a couple of mobile rigs - one, an ICOM IC-2100H which CHIRP supports well, and the other, the IC-2300H which it doesn't seem to support at all. What's the process to register interest in getting a radio supported? Obviously since I own it, as well as three other radios that CHIRP does support, I'd be willing to help out in the process if I can. Thanks, Jim / VE5EIS

[chirp_users] Baofeng BF-777 (480/666/777/888 Series) For Development
by Tom Morris 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

Hello everyone. I have a Baofeng 777 single band UHF that I'd like to loan to a developer so Chirp support can be added. Who can I send this along to for CHIRP development? I have the radio, antenna, and charger. The mic on the radio is slightly damaged and distorts TX audio because I kinda bashed it while repairing a loose battery contact inside the unit, but you get clean audio if you plug in a headset (useful for determining if you're properly sending wide or narrowband FM, I guess). Same data cable is used on these that is used on other Baofeng and probably Kenwood HTs. FYI, these are now available shipped with a headset and charger for $17.80 EACH if you order them in a batch of 5 on Amazon. Now I'm really excited to contribute to CHIRP development on them.... that's pretty amazing. :) -- -- Tom Morris, KG4CYX Mad Scientist For Hire Chairman, South Florida Tropical Hamboree / Miami Hamfest Engineer, WRGP Radiate FM, Florida International University 786-228-7087 151.820 Megacycles

[chirp_users] O/T Cheap clone cable for FT-60 and similar.
by Ronny Julian 07 Jul '13

07 Jul '13

Got this on eBay thinking if it did not work as a clone cable it would be a good pair of packet cables. It DOES work as a clone cable. Nice Yaesu red too! http://www.ebay.com/itm/251210818140

[chirp_users] FT-60 help please
by Ronny Julian 07 Jul '13

07 Jul '13

I have done quite a bit of reading and trying but it all comes down to Chirp not reading my radio to start. I have it in the Clone mode and I tried pressing PTT to initiate TX also per the manual. I know the cable is good and my COM1 port is available. Does anyone have an FT-60 file I can try uploading to see if it is working there? BTW this is on Windows 7. I tried it on Debian and that seems to have simlar issues. That is a different machine. Thanks! Ronny K4RJJ
