[chirp_users] FT8900 cable
by Milton Hywatt 27 Jan '14

Does anyone know if the cable for this radio has seperate TX and RX data Pins? I want to use a spare cable for an Anytone AT5888UV which has TX and RX combined. I thought I might just put that signal wire on both the RX and TX pins of the Yaesu's mini 6 pin plug if it has separates. Will that work, before I start tearing cables apart?

I see no entry for the new Baofeng GT-3. Is it yet implemented or do I use another Baofeng radio model to program? David

[chirp_users] Mac Problems

I admit I'm fishing around here a little but maybe someone can help. I'm helping someone else (remotely) troubleshoot their CHIRP installation. He says that the binary (unzipped, daily build) won't open on his Macbook. I've mentioned the Error logging window that may be holding things up and he's going to check for that, but is there anything else I should suggest?

[chirp_users] Query then Import
by Milton Hywatt 25 Jan '14

Haven't tried to import just one complete row from a county database but I'll assume that this single row needs to be pasted into your radio's existing list the written to the radio. ? Would be a nice if you could just query from your data source and then write directly to the radio adding to the existing image. But I guess these radios are basically all or nothing. If you upload one row even from a query, it's like uploading any image with just one row. You end up with a radio with one channel.

People on the gt-3 group have indicated it will work.

If it is not in the list it has not been Implemented yet. Please give them time to work on it or send in the radio to them to allow them to update it to work. Please do not try another vetsion of radio that has already been added. It could cause you more harm than good Sent from my LG Mobile "David S.

Device will not reset powering on while depressing FM Key. Dose anyone program Baofeng Radios as a paid service?

[chirp_users] Problems with Yaesu -- FT60 and FT-8800
by Basil Copeland 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

[I apologize if this is a duplicate post, but I sent it yesterday, and it is not showing in the archives. The response to my request to join the list got sent to my Google "Promotions" box and I just now go around to authenticating my request to join the list.] I just purchased some Valley Enterprise/FTDI cables to program my Yeasu radios (the two mentioned in the subject header, plus a VX-7) and so far am 0 for 2 getting Chirp to work in programming the two I tried (FT-60 and FT-8800), with the same result for both: Chirp would READ from the radio fine, and create a "spreadsheet" based on what it read; but when I try to WRITE to the radio, the screen blinks a rapid succession of (apparently) windows, with a final error message saying something about being unable to "read echo" and then "bad cable?" Well, I think we can rule out "bad cable?" as I grabbed a copy of Commander for the FT-60 and it was able to read and write to the FT-60 flawlessly, using the same FTDI chip cable that Chirp balked with. I'd much prefer to minimize the different kinds of software I have to use to program my radios, hence my interest in Chirp. I have used it successfully with Baofeng UV-5R radios. I'd love to see support for the Quansheng TG-UV2 (what's up with that, BTW...from reading the Wiki, seem to be plenty of people wanting support for it, and offering to lend radios), but I've got the Chinese software working for it, so there's that. Next up is to figure out how to program a Tonfa UV-985 (which I would imagine is nowhere on Chirp's horizon, though I've read that it has been programmed with Chirp and a UV-5R BFB-293 image file, so I may try that). Meanwhile, back to the Yaesu radios. If it matters, I'm using Windows 7, and a recent daily build of Chirp (20140102). Basil KE5GAE
