[chirp_users] Trying to use chirp via ser2net and socat

Hi, I wonder if anybody has tried this and can offer advice: I have chirp running on a laptop in my apt, but an FT8900 is in a boiler room one the roof. The remote control head for the radio is down in the apartment. I can connect to the FT8900 by running a ser2net service up there and socat down here. With this setup and permissions all set OK using /dev/pts/5, I can see the FT8900 send a character when I put it into clone mode. But chirp will not recognise anything and gives me "Failed to communicate with radio: Failed to read header (0)" I am using SuSE linux here and CentOS upstairs. I have tried setting the serial port up there to 1200, 4800, 9600 and 19200. I assume that chirp uses autobauding to communicate with the radio but that is obviously not available over a tcp connection. Any help would be appreciated! 73 de Nigel ve3id -- Nigel Johnson MSc., MIEEE VE3ID/G4AJQ/VA3MCU Amateur Radio, the origin of the open-source concept! http://nigel.homelinux.net http://va3mcu.ham-radio-op.net You can reach me by voice on Skype: TILBURY2591 If time travel ever will be possible, it already is.

Looking for when the pofung bf-f8hp Is to work with the chirp? I am not able to get it working with the windows 8 via chirp. From what I understand its the exact same radio as the UV 5 R just more power?

[chirp_users] BaoFeng UV-82C

I'm trying to program a BF UV-82C for a friend. I note that compatibility for this radio is available in daily builds. I'm using Chirp daily - 20141025 which I think is the latest, but the UV-82C does not seem to appear in the list of compatible radios. Using UV-82 I can program the frequencies but not the special settings. I bet I'm missing something obvious but so far it's escaping me so I come to the brain trust for guidance.
