[chirp_users] Kenwood TH-K2AT Only Reads first 50 Channels
by Jim 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Hi, I am new to Chrip, and am loving how easy it is to program using this great software. However I am having a problem when using it with my Kenwood TH-K2AT. (I am having great results when using it with The TH-K2 has 100 memory channels, or 50 if you use alpha tags. I don't use the alpha tags, and have almost all 100 memories full. Here is my problem: when reading from the radio, Chirp will only read the first 50 channels. Any attempt to change the values in the "Memories Memory Range" is immediately changed back to 50 channels. There doesn't seem to be any way to get Chirp to read all the channels. I apologize if this has already been addressed. I did a search on the Chirp web site, as well as searching Google, and didn't find anything. 73, Jim

I use an MH-31 stock microphone and only the fast button seems to work. The UP and DWN seem to be not working. Have I changed an option somewhere by mistake? 73, Steve Lenaghan VE5SR/CIW406 SATERN Digital Canada

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20140714 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #280 [Dan Drogichen <chirp.cordless(a)xoxy.net>] [developer] Add diffs-only mode to file diff utility - #1699 Adds an alternate display mode to the developer tools whole-file hex dump/diff utility in which only lines which are different are printed. Ranges of one or more lines that do not differ are replaced with a single blank line. This mode is invoked by setting the first memory location in the "Diff Radios" popup to -2. The existing functionality invoked by -1 is not affected. #1699 Changes for Build #281 [Dan Drogichen <chirp.cordless(a)xoxy.net>] [developer] Add info re: hex dump modes to "Diff Radios" dialog - #1753 When the developer tools are enabled and more than one image is loaded in chirp, selecting View -> Developer -> Diff tabs will open a dialog window that allows specification of two image/memory# pairs to be bitwise compared. Within this window, as special cases, selecting -1 as either memory number will invoke a full-file hex dump with diffs between the two files highlighted, and -2 as the first invokes a similar dump but with only the highlighted diffs shown. This feature is not obvious from the dialog appearance or usual semantics for memory number. This change adds two lines of text to this dialog window declaring that this feature exists. #1753

[chirp_users] TYT TH-UVF1 dual Band Handheld-Expanded Frequency Access
by W David Seay 12 Jul '14

12 Jul '14

I have a TYT TH-UVF1 dual band handheld and it is supposed to be able to have access to expanded frequencies 136-174 and 400-480. I would like to be able to use for the GMRS which I also have a license for. I was told that the CHIRP software will allow to program these frequencies and it has done so but the radio still will not transmit outside of the amateur bands and I do not receive on the public safety frequencies which I would like to monitor since I am a firefighter and paramedic. If anyone has some advice, it would be appreciated. David
