[chirp_users] how baofeng programm used ? (IW2GJV)

as others have said chirp is much better..... however if you still wish to use the baofeng "VIP" software a couple of things you will need to know are 1) it is 2 languages (english and chineese) and usually defaults to chineese so all menus are "??" the 2nd menu *from the right* is the language selector. 2) you will need the lead in and drivers installed *before* you start the VIP program as if it cant find the lead the program will open close open close open close forever i have both programs on windows 8 and chirp has neither of these problems and is much better. 73 M0RKY > -----Original Message----- > From: IW2GJV via chirp_users <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> > To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > Sent: Wed, 04 Nov 2015 7:09 > Subject: [chirp_users] how baofeng programm used ? > > 3 november 2015 > > hi, for windows 7 and UV-5R version BFS-297 (june 2014) > > how version of VIP program original from BAOFENG (not chirp ) i download > to use > on windiows 7 ? > > thnaks to help , 73 -- Yours Richy B This email is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual(s) it is addressed to.

Have to check, not running any version in Windows. I'm running the Windows version in Wine as Windows 8.1 is a pain at the moment.

[chirp_users] FT-60 and CP2102
by Steve Whitehead 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Turns out it looks like most of the CP2102 USB adapters are 3.3V output. Specifications for TTL logic is 5V. I have ordered a CP2102 that has both so we'll try that and see what happens. In the dim times (when we used a kerosene lamp to illuminate our computer screens) a common practice was to use a Max232 to convert RS232 levels to TTL for programming radios when you did not want to purchase a $40 cable from RT systems. It was often hit and miss if the radio would work because the levels were sometimes not quite right..... Should have the different CP2102 this week and report back. >Thanks for the response Jim. I wish it as easy as finding a short. > I have three of the converted 6-in-1 cables and the behavior is the same. >I will keep playing with it.

[chirp_users] Icom IC-2100H & CHIRP
by raymond reese 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

I have two ICOM IC-2100H radios and I am having problems accessing their programming. CABLE: Valley Enterprises: RPC=IV8-UF (Icom USB OPC-478 FTDI). I have downloaded and installed the associated driver, according to the web address on the package. DEVICE MANAGER REPORTS: ----------------------------------------------- USB Serial Port (COM7). Device Provider: FTDI. *Driver Date: 8-26-2014. *Driver Version: 2.12.0. BPS: 9600. Data Bits: 8. Parity: None. Stop Bits: 1. Flow Control: None. *NOTE: Is there a newer driver? CHIRP SETUP: ----------------------- Port: COM7. Vendor: Icom. Model: IC-2100H. RADIO SETUP: ----------------------- 1. Turn On, Holding M/CALL Button - then displays CLONE. 2. Pressing the S-MW button - then displays CLONE OUT. 3. And then followed by ////... (indicator) showing data being sent. PROBLEM: ----------------- I have initiated Icom's sending mode, followed by Chirp's receiving mode. I have initiated Chirp's receiving mode, followed by Icom's sending mode. In both cases, I get the following error: "An error has occurred" "Failed to communicate with radio: Unexpected response from radio" QUESTIONS: -------------------- What am I doing wrong? Is there a BPS rate issue between the Icom and Chirp? If so, how do I solve it? Am I using the wrong cable, since the Operator's Manual makes reference to another cable identified as OPC-474? Also, where do I find the "CS-2100 Cloning Software", as mentioned in the Operator;s Manual, do I really need it and if so, why? 73's KD7KRH Ray

Technically speaking the Baeofeng radios are illegal on FRI and GMRS. Reason is that they have antennas that can be removed and their power levels.

Just loaded latest Chirp build on clean install Win 7. When I do a Repeaterbook query, the mouse pointer turns to a hour glass and sits there until I close Chirp. Just like it can't an Internet connection. Pls advise. William
