I have sent the request out twice with not even a no it never worked for that Alinco mobile so I am guessing no one knows the answer to using Chirp with an Alinco DR620.

[chirp_users] CHIRP won't open (UV-82)
by Robin 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

Good evening all, Thanks for adding me to the group. This is my first msg to the group! I recently purchase 3 Baofeng UV-82 with the original Baofeng programing cable. I followed the instruction to the letter on on http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_CHIRP.php#start to installed the driver and the CHIRP software. Now when I click on the CHIRP icon, the msg : ''Error reporting is disable : If you wish to disable this feature, you may do so in the help menu.'' I click OK and the dialogue box closes and the program doesn't open. I have the correct driver and I downloaded the program (daily version). The cable is correctly connected to my computer and to my radio (the pins are completely pushed into the radio). Before I click the CHIRP icon, I have the radio plugged into the computer and it's on frequency mode. Is there anything I've missed or someone can think of? Any help would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks Robin

[chirp_users] VX-7R
by Rob Gowler 08 Sep '14

HI all. I had such good luck with the Chirp forum (Jim) helping me with my Wouxun I thought I'd try my luck with the Yaesu VX-7R. I have an FTDI chipped cable. I am able to download from radio without problem. I can edit channels/freqs in Chirp, but I am unable to upload back to the radio. The radio starts to go through the cloning process (upload), but it gets hung up about 3/4 of the way through the process (according to the chirp status bar). The radio just says Clone error. Chirp freezes up, and needs to be forced quit. I am using a mac, 10.9.4 and a chirp daily build from about a week ago. This radio is just a back up to my Wouxun at this point as my Wouxun's TX and RX are leaps and bounds better than my Yeasu! Thanks in advance. Rob

[chirp_users] Regarding Android (Don't hit me)
by Chuck Hast 05 Sep '14

I know that the present developers are not working with Andriod as it is quite a bit of work and changes to the code, but I did see someone or some comments to the effect that someone maybe picking it up, as a fork or a separate solution. I no longer carry a laptop, I use a tablet for all of my travel work, the only reason I would carry a laptop is to program my radio. But with the airlines charging for everything now, you have to measure what you carry. If someone is working on a Android version I would like to see if there is anyway I can help, more than anything else perhaps doing testing. I have a IC=92 that I can test on.

[chirp_users] YET ANOTHER ?
by Sarge ex 7thAF 04 Sep '14

New user but had my UV5R working great. Until I started Chirp and adjusted some freqs that worked great. However I noticed it was very quiet. After checking all works good Except no speaker volume.Many years ago I was a 2 way tech for Motorola and learned that when u plug in an ear bud and hear radio great but remove earphone nothing, it is likely a bad earphone jack. PLEASE TELL ME IT IS SOMETHING ELSE!! Thanks, Sarge -- Sarge KE5YPB, Lickskillet, Texas "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

Re: [chirp_users] Only old version of chirp installing

Hello ! With Debian, package for daily is called "chirp-daily" instead of "chirp". Package "chirp" is provided by the distro. Package "chirp-daily" has been downloaded by myself and installed with command "dpkg -i chirp-daily". After installation, the command to launch daily is "chirpw". With PPA for Ubuntu added, I suppose (and only suppose) : -> apt-get install chirp for stable -> apt-get install chirp-daily for daily Hope it will be usefull for you. 73 ! Matthieu F4ACU JN07JG

[chirp_users] Uv-6 programming issue
by jones4ms gmail 03 Sep '14

Im new to the forum but not to radios....anyone have any experience with the baofeng uv-6? I have a lot of radios im trying to get programmed and cant seem to get through to the radio i get an error msg with chirp and a radio refussed clone through the native software im using a cloned cable and have since bought a new one from HRO which still gives the same error msg. I know the driver is correct because it sees the the cable and the software sees the radio due to the error msg. But i am at a loss and dont know what to do to get these things to upload/download i have a uv-5r and it works perfect on both sets of software...so any help would be appreciated Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Smartphone <div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com> </div><div>Date:09/02/2014 02:57 (GMT-07:00) </div><div>To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> </div><div>Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Only old version of chirp installing </div><div> </div>Take a look at the "Running CHIRP Under Linux" page. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux I would really recommend that you install and use the latest CHIRP daily build though.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

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-20140903 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #296 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make a trivial copyright date update This just covers over the fact that I didn't reference #1835 in a merge commit so that the build tests won't complain. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Merge Marco's locale fix [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] [locale] Correct some parameter errors in translations seen fixing #1835 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] [th9800] Add driver to read and write .dat files for TYT-TH9800. #1353 This patch adds support for reading and writing .dat files compatible with the TYT TH-9800 manufactuer's software. I don't have a TH-9800 available to work on the upload/download portion of this driver, but this should provide a head start for anyone who wants to work on that. (I suspect the contents of these .dat files will be equivalent to Chirp .img files for the same radio.) Changes for Build #297 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] [th9800] Fix make_supported.py crash. #1353 make_supported.py does not provide pipe as a str like a normal instantiation, so it must be supported specifically in the Radio init. [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Add make_supported.py to run_all_tests.sh. #1353
