[chirp_users] MacBook Air will not talk to UV-5RPlus
by Bob DeFranco 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

I have a MacBook Air running OS 10.9.2. I just installed CHIRP 0.4.0 and Python runtime and tried to program my UV-5RPlus. I get an error message saying that the radio did not respond. I checked the cable (Prolific chip) and found that the computer recognized it. I should note that I have used this same cable to program the same radio on a Windows 7 desktop PC, so I know the cable connects properly to the radio. Everything works, except I can't download data from my radio. Any thoughts or solutions? Bob DeFranco

Re: [chirp_users] Data on a Mechanical Filter used in a SB-34 HF Ham Transciever
by Bob Boehme 16 Apr '14

The spec is right in the model number... 455KHz frequency.. 2.1 KHz bandwidth.. The rig usually has two xtal oscillators which are set well down the upper or lower skirt of the filter depending on the sideband you desire.. very steep skirts on those mechanical filters.. -----Original Message----- From: chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com [mailto:chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com] On Behalf Of Jeff Miller Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2014 11:11 PM To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: [chirp_users] Data on a Mechanical Filter used in a SB-34 HF Ham Transciever I'm looking for any information, data and/or specifications on a mechanical filter used in a Sideband Engineers Model SB-34 Ham Transceiver.

[chirp_users] Message Archive, Dan Smith

I see my test message arrived at the message archive but I'm not getting a copy. Is this actually being sent to others on the list or is the list server holding them for some reason? I'm not a new user I'm Milton formerly from Yahoo. So I really need to know if these two messages are propagating outwards to others. And where does the list server get my name from? Can that be changed back to Milton Milton

Yahoo has been having issues with their POP servers and I guess a lot of list messages have been bouncing because I had to re-enable my account So if this keeps up, I thought it was fixed because I was getting email fine yesterday I will have to choose gmail to receive my list messages.

I just had to move a post from Jens. So what I am experiencing is a Gmail issue. Hopefully it will become retrained soon. ;-) Jim KC9HI _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users

[chirp_users] Kenwood TH-K4 programming problem.
by Eduard Crombie 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Hi, I have been using CHIRP since last year when I purchased a Baofeng UV5R. Since then I have been doing so successfully with other radios for friends and colleagues. With two Kenwood TH-K4 (UHF version of TH-K2), who are supported in the latest versions of CHIRP, I have this error window when trying to download from the ht: “could not open port COM2: [Error 5] access denied” after some 60 secs. (“access denied” is “Toegang geweigerd” in Dutch) Using the Kenwood program MCP-1A with same cable (on COM2 and original Prolific chip) I don’t have this problem, but the said software is not as flexible as CHIRP. Any ideas on how to tackle this problem ? 73 Eduard ON7CE
