I bought two baofeng radios, one is UV-82C an the other is BF-F8H and I can get neither one to up load to the computer it says in the paper i got with the radios that the small CD disc has all the software on it but when i click on it open it there is just a bunch of files, it says in the instructions that to click on the radio on the menu bar but so far I have found no menu bar with a radio to click on. It says I have to upload to the computer before I can program the radio OKAY what do I have to do get past this point. I'm lost I can't even get started till this happens. thank you Jim KM6WC CM97iw

[chirp_users] I got an unsupported xinchuang TR-N7 radio, how can I add support for it?
by mofo syne 26 Feb '15

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] Having problems daily build 20150130 running on a mac
by Ronald Nutter 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

I have been able to run both chirp-0.3.0 and chirp-0.4.1 using the instructions on the website for running on Mac OSX. Due to a new radio I have (Leixen VV-898), I have to go to the daily build in order to get support for the radio. I have installed the program, it starts to run but then immediately quits with no error. Any suggestions ? Ron

I submitted this on Wednesday, January 28, 2015 11:00 PM. I do not see it the issues log? 73 KA2HJH, Sincerely, Larry Stewart Splitrock ARA Webmaster 862-324-6232 -----Original Message----- From: Lawrence Stewart [mailto:lstew452@optonline.net] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2015 11:00 PM To: 'chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com' Subject: Bug #2155 - Uv-5r not receiving but will transmitt This not fixed. I tried all those steps suggested and it did not work. The radio was fine until I loaded my old file with chrip onto the new Uv-5r. Then receive got muted. I tried the factory image and leaving the beep on. Nothing works. I am upset because it looks like the radio is ruined. 73 KA2HJH, Sincerely, Larry Stewart Splitrock ARA Webmaster 862-324-6232 -----Original Message----- From: chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com [mailto:chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com] On Behalf Of chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2015 10:12 PM To: lstew452(a)optonline.net Subject: Welcome to the "chirp_users" mailing list (Digest mode) Welcome to the chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com mailing list!

I took some screenshots and placed them in a Google doc. Let me know what else I should hunt down/share. I'm missing something in the setup, but I am committed to figuring this out. Many thanks to John and Todd for their swift replies. Seth https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1YHJe_5627oxRuNwJa2Pbo8DoLuxCJpo54kg…

"I have Location 1-14 named FRS and programmed for the FRS channels(my group works off of these)" You do realize that this radio is NOT legal for use on FRS channels in the U.S.?

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

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-20150130 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #320 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add updated Hungarian translation from Attila HA5JA [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [VV-898] Add Settings to Leixen VV-898 Module - Part 10 Add the following settings: - Squelch Base Value (UHF) - Squelch Base Value (VHF) related to #2149 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [VV-898] Add Settings to Leixen VV-898 Module - Part 9 Add the following settings: - DTMF Digit Time - DTMF Digit Space Time - DTMF First Digit Delay - DTMF Pretime - DTMF * and # Digit Delay - DTMF ACK Decode - DTMF Side Tone Corrected spelling error in Part 7 related to #2149 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [VV-898] Add Settings to Leixen VV-898 Module - Part 8 Add the following settings: - VOX Gain Level - VOX Delay Time - VOX Inhibit on Receive related to #2149 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [VV-898] Add Settings to Leixen VV-898 Module - Part 7 Add the following Key Assignment settings: - Long Press Time - P1 Long - P1 Short - P2 Long - P2 Short - P3 Long - P3 Short - M Short - Menu Enable related to #2149 [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] [PATCH] Dismissing save confirmation dialog was closing tab A typical gtk Dialog will return a response of RESPONSE_DELETE_EVENT when the dialog window is dismissed. As a result dismissing the save confirmation dialog was performing similarly to the user selecting the NO button (RESPONSE_NO) This created a situation where a person could possibly loose their changes should they dismiss the save confirmation dialog without using the cancel button. The fix essentially handles both the CANCEL and DELETE_EVENT responses as the same. Bug #2255 [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] [FT-60] Memory Bank Link Scan Added settings support for memory bank link scan. Extended bitwise int data element to support xor operator. Note: The mbs settings are stored in the 16 bits located at memory location 0x09E in the high order bits. Note: A bank can be linked even if it contains no memories. In this case the radio ignores it during the mbl scan. Bug #675 Bug #1945 [Jens Jensen <af5mi(a)yahoo.com>] [th9800] fix skip scan/priority issues #2247 Skip/priority settings were not taking effect. Channel fields were for display only. There are special channel banks controlling scan enable and priority. This fix manipulates both channel fields and bank flags. [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] [PATCH] Fix Context-Menu Handler in Memory Editor This patch modified the behaviour of the button event handler for the memory editor to properly select the underlying elements of the treeview when using the right mouse button. Fixes #2249 [Jens Jensen <af5mi(a)yahoo.com>] [th9800] clarify channel display mode #1353 change "Frequency or Name" boolean to "Display" choice of Frequency or Name [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] [PATCH] Fix Link in About Dialog The URL link in the about dialog is now functional. Tested in both Ubuntu and Windows 8.1, verified working. Replaced the MessageBox dialog for the 'Documentation' help menu item with a hotlink to the website. The URL link in the MessageBox was non- functional on Windows and overall it did not provide much information outside of the link anyhow. Bug #330

[chirp_users] serial port monitor?
by Rob Locher 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

Hi all, I believe I've found a CHIRP bug, er I mean an issue. When I try to "Download from Radio" with my ID-880H, I get an error almost immediately: "Failed to communicate with the radio: Unexpected response from radio". I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and the 2015-01-23 daily build of Chirp. I use the same USB-to-serial converter to troubleshoot hardware devices regularly using minicom, so I'm confident it's not a permissions problem. I'm able to use the Icom software to program the radio (after booting the netbook into Windows, ugh), so I don't think it's an issue with the radio or the cable. I checked to see if I have the latest firmware for the radio, but there haven't been any updates. Before I report the issue, I'd like to gather as much information as I reasonably can. If there's a relatively simple way to capture the traffic on the serial port, I'd like to do that. I did some Googling, and all the methods I found seemed complicated. Of course there might be a much easier way, like setting a debug level. So I ask the group, is there something reasonable that I can do to log the activity on the serial port before I report my issue? 73, - Rob W7GH
