#4 message the procedure for replying to a specific message is unclear? hope this works... mageia 4 64bit KDE Desktop environment Chromium browser when I tried to install from the link on the wiki http://d-rats.com/yum/f11/d-rats-repo-0.1.2-1.fc11.noarch.rpm with software installer, the procedure starts, asks me if I'm sure & then nothing this link works http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/20/i386/chirp-0.4.0-1.… which would mean fedora keeps an updated version in their repository I think... I don't see the working link of the wiki page Mageia being downstream of RedHat>Fedora there would be no real need to get the mageia devs to bring chirp onboard at least until I could actually try to use it some I haven't been able to get it working as yet, nor the UV-5Rs I intend to use. I just need basic 2 way communication on my ranch. I'll be happy to get any answers you request from mageia I don't understand "Also the rpm package you linked contains a yum repo definition, not an application." Beyond use the link that works thanks for your hard work On Wed, May 14, 2014 at 12:00 PM, < 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.

Re: [chirp_users] image number and firmware numbers do not match
by Dennis Klipa 15 May '14

Jim, Thanks for the clarification and the procedure. I am sure you are right that most of the time people don't need to change that setting. In my case,many of the radios I have programmed were for our local high school amateur radio club and they are being used by students. We didn't want to give them the option to accidentally be transmitting out of band. So being able to set the band limits is an important feature. I am in even happier camper after reading your response. Best Regards, Dennis, N8ERF

[chirp_users] Programming an Icom IC-91A, CHIRP 0.4.0
by Horace Posadas 14 May '14

14 May '14

Hello everyone, I am still having issues programming my IC-91A with Chirp 0.4.0. I’ve also tried chirp-daily-20140428 with no success. On a whim, I found an old version of Chirp: chirp-0.2.2 and it worked! I was able to download my frequency list, and modify the IC-91A memory. The oldest daily version I can find is chirp-daily-20131002, which still does not work with my radio. 73 de KI6EEX

[chirp_users] image number and firmware numbers do not match
by Dennis Klipa 14 May '14

14 May '14

I submitted a post the other day looking for some help but it didn’t get posted so I am trying again. I think I sent it from the wrong email address! I had a problem trying to updoad a file to a new UV-5RE+ that a friend just bought. I had previously used this file to program 14 other units of the same radio. Another complication is that I had done it on an XP computer buy am now using a Windows 7 machine. I got an error message that the “Settings” had not been transferred because the image number didn’t match the firmware number. I looked in the file and found where those numbers were listed but could not change them. I did eventually figure out that if I downloaded the data from the new radio to a new file, the firmware number came with it. Then I could populate the rest of the new file with data and it uploaded with no problem. Now, if this item gets posted, I will be a happy camper. Best Regards, Dennis

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-82 Offset
by Adam Brady 14 May '14

14 May '14

Hello and thank you to all who have given their experience here. The issue I am having is that on my CHIRP I have the OFFSET at .600, and the DUPLEX either a + or -. However when I upload this to my radio it does not take the settings. My radio reads OFFSET 00.000 and DUPLEX "none". I just finished uninstalling, and reinstalling, CHIRP. When I did my initial upload from the radio the settings in CHIRP show the correct OFFSET and DUPLEX in the radio. I tried to find this already reported, but did not. Adam T.

[chirp_users] Adding frequencies outside of band plan
by Rob Cartier 13 May '14

13 May '14

I have kenwood ™-241 that is able to handle frequencies that are able to be resolved correctly in the Kenwood MCP-1A programmer however chirp complains about the band and steps the frequency is 15x.5625. Is there a workaround to disable the test and enter the frequency Thanks -- ---------------------------------- Rob Cartier Profile: http://www.google.com/profiles/rob.cartier

[chirp_users] Installing Chirp on Mageia Linux
by Garth Hoyman 13 May '14

13 May '14

Mageia Linux is an community based system, using RPM packages similar to Fedora Quite a bit more user friendly & good long term stability I was having trouble installing chirp the methods described weren't working, I posted a thread https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7508&p=47820#p47820 probably the wiki could be updated?
