by Gary Runningbear 19 Nov '15

I have just discovered that my new uv-82 L has a different firmware version then my first radio. Is there a way that I can update the first one to be the same as the second?

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '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-20151119 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #369 [Jens Jensen <af5mi(a)yahoo.com>] [TYT-9800] fix tone squelch (CTCSS Decode) not working #3007 As described in #3007, when channel tone mode set to TSQL (CTCSS Encode & Decode) or DTCS (DCS), the squelch is being opened for any carrier, not just ones with specified tone. Appears there is additional field in channel memory which specifies squelch mode, carrier or tone, which also needs to be explicitly set by Chirp whenever using TSQL or DTCS tone modes, as this is the intended behavior of these modes.

[chirp_users] Problem updating CSV file to upload to radio
by Philip Wise 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

Hi: Radio: Baofeng F8HP and UV-5RV2+Computer: Dell, Win XP Professional I am able to clone both radios and make changes to the radio download and update if I manually change the data When I was trying upload a CSV file to the radio I got an error - shown in the attached file I developed the csv file from outputting a csv file from the RepeaterBook website. I was able to open it with MS Excel 2000 w/sp3 (also I was able to open a csv file from Chirp from my radio download. Trying to import the csv file from the Repeaterbook directly into Chirp, gave me the error I then used the scv file from my radio download and modified it with the data from the repeaterbook file by copying and pasting my new data from Repeaterbook csv file into the radio downloaded csv file. I saved this new combined data file with the same columns as shown in my radio downloaded csv file but when I tried to import to the Chirp program, I got the same error. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I know I have old programs and operating system but I have been able to run Chirp successfully for all things except this. Take care, Phil “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.” - Benjamin Franklin

Calling all app developers! Please, please develop some software so that we can use chirp with our Android phones and tablets so that we can take massive programming of the radios into the field where it is needed the most. Please! It would be so helpful to us. thank you.

[chirp_users] Can't upload images that use memory groups
by dave＠661.org 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

I've tracked down my recent problems with uploading images to my Yaesu radios to memory groups. Apparently if I assign channels to more than one memory group, the upload will fail. This happens with the latest from the mercurial repo and with at least the FT-8800 and VX-7R radios. -- David Griffith dave(a)661.org A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?

Can anyone offer anything good or bad about any "inexpensive" mobile dual band ham radio, including the Leixen VV-898 or Jetstream JT270M (apparently the same radio).
