[chirp_users] BaoFeng BF-F8+
by Roger Dillon 20 Jul '14

20 Jul '14

Has anybody gotten the CHIRP software to work on a BaoFeng BF-F8+. It doesn't show up in the BaoFeng dropdown box in the program. I can't get it to "talk" to my radio. 73's Roger KJ6IEZ

[chirp_users] Support for Wouxun KG-UV8D
by Mike Morrow 20 Jul '14

20 Jul '14

I think I saw that it was coming. It there any way to get an estimate. The software that comes with the radio is fairly horrible. It has not decided to ignore all input so I cannot change the channels from the PC for now. Reinstall did not good. Will try a different computer next. Surely would like to see the update supporting the KG-UV8D. Thanks to all who work on this program! It is really nice to have all the programming for different radios in one place. Mike/W6XXX

[chirp_users] Tongfa TF-Q5
by Shane Stevenson 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

New to the list, been using Chirp for a while on 7 x UV-5Rs, I recently purchased a Tonfa (www.qztonga.com) TF-Q5 radio. The software for programming the radios is available from their website and works ok, however there is no ability to import from another source (ie anything I can spit out of Chirp). Has anybody used these radios with Chirp ? If not if I sample the coms traffic between the software and the radio can somebody identify the radio spec that I need to use in Chirp to get it to work / have it added ? Shane Australia ?

I am wondering if the vx160 is supported. I saw the post about the vx150 and was wondering if they might be the same? Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

I checked the supported radios list and didn't see the VX-150 listed. Has anyone been able to use Chirp with the VX-150 and if so, what settings did you use? Thanks, Denis - KC6AUP -------------------------------------- There is no future until we settle our past...

[chirp_users] Error message trying to download a BaoFeng FF-F8+
by Dr. Whit Woodard 19 Jul '14

19 Jul '14

To Whom It May Concern: I purchased two BaoFeng BF-F8+ radios and the cable, but I am unable to download the radio with Chirp. I have several questions concerning it. Allow me to outline what I have done. I m attempting to program my radio with an iMac computer running Mavericks. 1. I downloaded the KK7DS Python Runtime R10.pkg (as instructed) 2. I downloaded the Chirp 0.4.0 software 3. I connected my BaoFeng BF-F8+ radio to the computer with the cable purchased with the radio as directed by chirp. (Manufactured by Pofung) 4. The first sign of a problem is the identification of the “serial port” that comes up in chirp. There are only two options. They are (1) “/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming -Port” and “dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem” Neither of them work for me. The second own produces an immediate error message that says “An error has occurred could not open port /dev/cu.Bluegooth-Modem: [Errno 16] Resource busy: ‘/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem’” The first option begins the cloning process (as expected, but showing NO progress) and then produces an error message that says: “An error has occurred Radio did not respond” I have tried this on both of the BaoFeng radios I purchased with identical results. Can anyone enlighten me about this problem? Many thanks, Whit Woodard K3WB

Hi all, I have a TTL2USB CT2 programmer and am getting the following problem. I can copy the data from the radio to chirp, but it fails to upload, giving an error message , either a fail or a bad memory message. Anyone else experience with using the CT2 with Chirp?
