[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.

[chirp_users] Baofeng Radios
by Michael West 03 Jul '14

OK, I’m officially PO’d. I have 4 UV-5R radios. I bought 2 and used chirp to program them. Although I had some difficulty I was able to do it using a ‘kenwood’ cable that a friend had. Now that I’ve bought 2 more I absolutely, positively cannot get them to connect. Sometimes they upload to the program but I cannot download the new set of frequencies. I get so frustrated and mad when I try to do this. It’s so arbitrary and is NOT reliable. Does anyone have any suggestions that might work for me? I’ve made sure the cables are connected properly (otherwise they shouldn’t upload in the first place) but why can’t I get the frets downloaded? If you have a logical and reasonable answer I’m willing to try it. ___ reply direct to: michaeljwest(a)centurytel.net

To program my radios, I had to find the right COM PORT on my computer. Once I got it right, it all worked fine. -----Original Message----- >From: Christian Peeples <chris_peeples(a)yahoo.com> >Sent: Jun 29, 2014 9:43 PM >To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com >Subject: [chirp_users] Thanks Jim > >Jim: > > Thanks.

Re: [chirp_users] Dumb Newbie Question -- How To Start CHIRP
by Tony 30 Jun '14

WOW that is weird. CHIRP will unzip its files in one directory along with its sub directories. This is one program CHIPRW that is the executable program. I think it also created the start on the main screen. Have you tried pressing on the CHIRPW file? -----Original Message----- >From: Christian Peeples <chris_peeples(a)yahoo.com> >Sent: Jun 28, 2014 9:06 PM >To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com >Subject: [chirp_users] Dumb Newbie Question -- How To Start CHIRP > >Dear All: > > CHIRP downloaded and unzipped 55 files to my computer.

[chirp_users] Thanks Jim

Jim: Thanks. You were right, I am using Windows XP and got CHIRP to open. I had checked cherpw, but did not recognize what popped up. I am now trying to get my computer to recognize my Baofeng, but I think that is a hardware problem. I'll work on it some more if I have time during the week. -- Chris Peeples --KE6MQW -- Chris, You didn't mention which CHIRP download you downloaded or which operating system you are trying to run CHIRP under. I am going to guess that your OS is some version of Microsoft Windows. If you downloaded the Windows Installer version (this is the version that I would recommend that most Windows users install and use), double clicking it would install CHIRP under the appropriate "Program Files" folder and create a CHIRP shortcut in the Start Menu. You would then just browse to this shortcut in the Start Menu, click it, and CHIRP would launch. If you downloaded the Windows Standalone version (my guess is this is what you have), you will unZIP the file in a suitable location that you yourself choose. The file that launches CHIRP is the same one referenced in the CHIRP shortcut mentioned above, "chirpw.exe". However, if your Folder Options has "Hide extensions for known file types" enabled (the default setting), then the file will only show up as "chirpw" in Windows Explorer. Browsing to the CHIRP folder of either installation and double-clicking the "chirpw" executable file will launch CHIRP. Jim KC9HI

Dear All: CHIRP downloaded and unzipped 55 files to my computer. None of them are CHIRP.exe or anything that is obvious. I clicked on a number of them and CHIRP did not start. How does one start CHIRP? -- Chris Peeples -- KE6MQW --

[chirp_users] blank in xp

I have made 3 disks and they all work on the win 7 machine. The xp machine doesn't have a usb boot just reads them. Have tried to use plop but doesn't boot either. Did find that after leaving the xp on all night it had booted to the chirp program but hadn't done so after 3 hours so don't know how long it took or why so long. Thanks Hub W5GYX

Sorry Jim but that didn't fix it. Still just a blinking ( - ) in the upper left corner and nothing else after 30 minutes of waiting. After the live boot. Thanks for trying. Hub W5GYX
