[chirp_users] UV-82 Support for MAC OSX
by Jeff Williams 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hi, I have a Baofeng UV-5R, BF-F8, and a UV-82. The Mac OSX software works great with the UV-5R and the BF-F8, but it won’t work with the UV-82. I’m using the Baofeng USB Programming cable. I’ve noticed that the latest Chirp version for Windows includes support for the UV-82. I’ve tried the Windows version with the UV-82 and it works fine. I was wondering if there is a new version of Chirp in work for the MAC that would include support for the UV-82? Thanks!

[chirp_users] UV-3R Transmit inhibit ???
by Paul K. 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

/*Neither of the suggestions will work. This is a UV-3R, not the UV-5R. Older radio.*/ Set the duplex column in CHIRP to "off ". This will inhibit TX on that memory location. 73, Woody N8MWQ / *No such choice available in chirp for the UV-3R*/ Do not input a transmit frequency */That choice is not available in my chirp./* */ Any one have any other suggestions? I'm using Build 20130822/* -- Paul K. WA0BAG

[chirp_users] ? re 'duplex' field
by Benton Holzwarth 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

I'm helping organize a base set of frequencies -- a 'standard load' -- for our local CERT group, Tigard, OR. I've read a ton of posts and come up with a base set of guidelines that I'm hoping will cover the 'least common denominator' radio that someone might show up with. o Don't use row zero, some radios start at row-1 o Hold to 5 characters for the memory 'name' o Include the FRS and official frequencies as Rx only o Different radios have different numbers of memories, pack the highest priority bits into the lowest memory-rows. Some radios stop at 16 memory-rows, others go to 100 or 128 We'd like to load some Rx-only frequencies -- FRS, the local police forces and ambulance service that use UHF, but in Rx-only. When I set 'duplex' to 'off' Chirp says something about not all radios support this setting. o Is there a list of radios that do support? o If I try to program duplex-off into a radio that doesn't support it, what is the reaction from Chirp? Does it let me know there's a problem or just gloss over and make those frequencies tx-able? I'm trying to figure out how best -- across a wide field of radios -- to manage a set of frequencies that should be Rx-only. Duplex off/split/offset One solution seems to be to dial in 'split' pointing the tx-side to a harmless corner of the Amateur band. Thought? Benton 1jan14 -- KF7QLP benton(a)siletzbay.com

[chirp_users] New to list and a question
by Mike Lubrecht 01 Jan '14

01 Jan '14

Hi list members! Mike Lubrecht here from Snohomish County, Washington. I've just started using Chirp to attempt to coordinate the programming on some of my small HTs. I successfully programmed my Baofeng UV-5R, and was able to upload from my Yaesu VX-3 (not the "R" model.) Unfortunately, I haven't been able to download anything successfully to the Yaesu unit, after carefully following the sequence to put the radio into clone mode and wait for the download from my computer. Am I missing anything? I believe my drivers are all up to date. And since I was able to upload from the Yaesu, I'm assuming that the cable and drivers were working. Any hints would be greatly appreciated. My hope is to clone the Baofeng and Yaesu, using appropriate inport/export (or just cutting and pasting parameters between .img files). Thanks! Mike
