[chirp_users] Unable to save bank information.

After I import the data from an Icom IC-92AD and I want to save all the config data I'm having an error. I'm on the tab "Banks(Band A)" and I do an export, I get the following error: There was an error during export: 'MappingMembershipEditor' object has no attribute 'prefill' I get the same thing for 'DStarEditor' -- KB9YEN Bryan McWhirt bryan(a)kb9yen.com

[chirp_users] Icom 92AD Auto Detect Crash
by Bryan McWhirt 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

I'm using both prolific and FTDI serial adapters. If I try to use auto detect on Icom it crashes the program. I've not tried with other radio brands as I only have the Icom. Before I file a bug report can anyone see if they have the same issue? I tried with both Stable and the current Daily as of this moment in time. -- KB9YEN Bryan McWhirt bryan(a)kb9yen.com

I'm looking for software (other than DOS) for the Kenwood TK270. Anyone have ideas?

[chirp_users] counterfeit FTDI
by Rick Farina 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Looks like prolific isn't the only company with counterfeiting issues, but according to this article, ftdi isn't just making their driver incompatible, they are literally bricking the fake chips: http://hackaday.com/2014/10/22/watch-that-windows-update-ftdi-drivers-are-k… A fix for the damaged hardware is available for now, but who knows how long they will keep it. If you use windows, be warned, your usb->serial converters may be damaged after your next windows update. -Zero_Chaos

[chirp_users] Programming Yaesu FT-7800
by ARSK0MBB＠aol.com 18 Oct '14

18 Oct '14

Hello All, I have a Yaesu FT-7800 radio which I program manually. I also have a Baofeng UV-5RE plus with programming cable. I run Windows 7. I have successfully programmed the Baofeng and would like to know if anyone has used CHIRP and the UV-5RE programming cable to program the Yaesu FT-7800. The FT-7800 uses a PS2 type connector at the rear of the radio so I would have to make a custom cable interface which is no problem, I'm just puzzled over the connections / pinout. Thanks & 73 Jerry S. R.Ph. KØMBB

[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV8D feedback
by Eldon Griffiths 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

Needless to say I was thrilled that the Wouxun KG-UV8D was listed in your daily build released Oct 15th. I tried to program my 8D this morning. I was able to read the radio just fine. I am not able to change or enter new channels at all. When I try a popup says 'Invalid value for this field 'skip''. No matter how I try I cannot make changes. The Settings menu screen is blank??? I am truly grateful for CHIRP and all the work your team puts into this work. I have used CHIRP successfully on several versions of Baofeng, Kenwood, Yeasu, Anytone and ICOM radios. Thanks!
