[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.

RE: IS IT MY CABLE OR MY TVR? Most Problems with Chirp are a problem with the USB cable driver. Use the driver which came with the cable. Do NOT allow Windows to update the USB driver when you plug in the USB cable and Windows loads the USB driver. This is an attempt by Microsoft to stop people using cloned USB cables. 73 Bob VK2BYF On 30 November 2014 at 07:00, <chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> wrote: > Send chirp_users mailing list submissions to > chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of chirp_users digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1. chirp linux and cable to programm (y_61(a)libero.it) > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: "y_61(a)libero.it" <y_61(a)libero.it> > To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > Cc: > Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2014 15:32:32 +0100 (CET) > Subject: [chirp_users] chirp linux and cable to programm > > hi, > > my cable to programm baofeng uv-5R not work or is fault my rtx uv-5r ? > > in how mode i test is faut the rtx or the cable ???? > > > > i create the *CHIRP cd-live on usb boot pen...*. but if i download to > rtx it say ERROR no 2.... what is ? > > in how mode i TEST the cable is not dead ??? > > > best 73 > > > > > > i try to connect th cable via *CHIRP CD LIVE* (linux ?) and I think > the cable is recognized… > > > > but I not very shure it is effectly recognized …there isn’t a TEST to > know this ? > > > > I open CHIRP and select “downolad” is say this : > > > > AN ERROR HS OCCURRED and : > > > > Could open Port/dev/ttyUSB0 [ ERRORno2 ] > > > > No file or directory /dev/ttyusb0 > > > > > > …..is correct that use this TTYUSB0 ? the others ports is not called > “usb” …. > > > > And what is this ERROR no 2 ? > > > > Is FAULT and dead my usb cable or my rtx UV-5R ? > > > > Thanks very muche for help me, best 73 > > > _______________________________________________ > chirp_users mailing list > chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users > > -- *The miracle of life is that it exists despite everything it's got going against it.* *Bob *

Upgrading from CHIRP TO CHIRP-Daily. dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/chirp-daily_20141119~utopic~1_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/applications/chirp.desktop', which is also in package chirp 0.4.0-1 dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Chirp (regular) was uninstalled first then chirp-daily from the PPA was attempted to be installed. I am helping someone with this, I am just sending this in. Does anyone see any problem with deleting /usr/share/applications/chirp.desktop to get rid of the error or is there a better way? David

[chirp_users] Cannot program Yaesu VX5R - need suggestions on how to debug.
by David Hagood 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

I have a Yaesu VX5R, and I cannot read the radio using CHIRP daily-20141119 under Linux. Symptoms: Set up to read the radio. Start the read, press the VFO button, and the radio shows "CLONE TX" for about a second or two, then CLONE FAIL. I've tried this with 2 cables - one that is just a Yaesu to RS-232 cable (and then using a Prolific USB to RS232 adapter, and also using a native 16550 based RS-232 port), and one that is a Yaesu to USB using a Prolific cable. I have verified my user ID can read the serial device, and have verified that the cable acts as a loop back cable using Minicom. I'd like some suggestions on what to try next to debug what is going on. Are there any flags I can set to try to get more debug information? Does anybody have a Yaesu VX5 radio image I can try to load, to see if loading works?

I still cant program the radio, it is not uploading tot he newer radios from my older img. the older img is the only one that I have, I have tried to read intot he fix but I really think I am in need of some step by step help. I am not as experienced as many of the guys on the forums and such and need a bit more guidance as to if I can flash the new radio with older frimware and the location of it if it exist.

[chirp_users] CHIRP 20141119 and the Kenwood TH-D7(G) flashing "PF3" ?
by Red 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

I tried using CHIRP 20141119 with a genuine FTDI cable to read from my TH-D7(G) and the only result I could see was a mysterious "PF3" message flashing on the bottom of the THD7's screen. Does anyone know if CHIRP is known to work with the TH-D7(G) ? Or what the PF3 message means? Thanks. --Red

[chirp_users] New blind ham trying to use Chirp
by Jason Polansky 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

Hello chirp users! My name is Jason Polansky 'Kc3DYC'. I just received my ham radio technician class license and learned about Chirp from my instructor. I am blind and use the JAWS screen reader on a windows 7 computer. After downloading Chirp and opening it, JAWS was not reading anything. Pressing the alt key didn't take me to the menus as it does with most programs. Can anybody help. Thank you Jason Polansky
