[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.

I have a V82. I have a programming cable #SN: HNT1208A002. I have the CHIRP software. I have tried several com ports. I have tried 2 different computers. One with Win7. The other with XP. Same problem with both. I can't get the radio to talk to the computer. When trying to download from the radio I get the error message: "Unable to probe radio band" Don W7OUI

Re: [chirp_users] OS-X 10.8.5 and RTS cable for VX7

I use RTS software and cables with no problems. I have the VX-2,VX8-GR! and cables and the FT-950 cable. Why mess with something else that you have to be a c++engineer to get to work.

I've been helping out a gal off list with her Mac and RTS cable. She had posted one message to the list yesterday if you want to read her synopsis. In addition she has emailed me back several times as I had her run some diagnostics and wanted to view her kernel messages. Kernel message says the FTDI chip load ok. But when she's getting hard locks on read requiring a long press on the power button to get a reboot. Some other things are a bit vague but I will attempt to re-read. What I'm looking for is a person or persons who use the latest OSX and an RTS cable so I can see a driver version. Another funny thing, she said the system info finds the driver just fine. And it loads in the kenel message. But that driver can't be found in the Chirp list of cables. I though that was a bit odd and thanks for any help. Milton

[chirp_users] Programming

Gentlemen............I have spent the last 3 days trying to understand how to program my UV5R. The cable will communicate with the radio using the BaoFeng CD so I think that's not the issue. I have spent hours reading all the "must read first" literature and gleaning very little. In attempting to use Chirp I click on the radio title on the top. Download to Radio is not highlighted but Upload From Radio is but when I click on that I get an error msg saying the radio did not respond. I'm going nowhere. Can someone pse adv me how to bring up the programming page and how to use it to program basic repeater and simplex freqs before my wife asks me to move out ?? M Schontz k8fu(a)aol.com

[chirp_users] VX 7R Upload Issue
by Angela Hawse 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

I successfully downloaded all the frequencies from my Yaesu VX7R using Chirp. I am a Mac user, downloaded Python and have followed all the steps carefully. I have an RT Systems cable and downloaded the Mac Driver. My Mac reads the cable by name when I choose it for download/uploads from the Mac on Chirp. I am unable to Upload the original file (that I did not edit), or the edited version I hope to Upload. Cloning is working in Rx mode when I start Upload and I get the progress bar. Every time the progress bar reaches about the "N" above "Cancel", my VX7R switches from Clone Rx to VF0 430.000. Then the progress bar only continues to the "L" above "Cancel", and everything freezes. Often the freeze can be stopped with Force Quit, other times I have to shut down with the power button on my computer. I have also tried using a Future Technology Devices International cable which my computer recognizes as well (downloaded driver from FTDI website). Any suggestions? Now my radio has none of the Fx on it that I so painstakingly entered manually (100+). I'm thrilled there is hope for programing with my Mac and hope I am just missing something. Thanks in advance, Angela KD0GMG

[chirp_users] UV-5R

Hi All, I’ve been watching this page in amazement. For pretty much volunteer work, great job. I try and read all the posts regarding the UV-5R, own 2, have no trouble with them. A club member asked me to program his, the version comes up as USA349, and I have had no success getting access to it with the program. Always says it can’t communicate with the radio. Have tried all the connector suggestions. Any thoughts? It does accept keypad input. JD
