[chirp_users] win 10
by William Coleman 30 May '16

30 May '16

Hi everyone ! Just a quick note. I have the latest release version of chirp working OK with Windows 10 64bit on my desktop . There have been no issues so far with chirp while running windows 10 with either reading or transferring data to and from my GT-5 . I had to roll back the 3.6 driver to 3.2.2.0 that windows had initially installed . It was giving me a cannot start device error message. Once I rolled back the drivers there was no further issues.

[chirp_users] inexpensive Dual Band Mobile radios?
by Dave Nathanson 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

[This is sort of off-topic, but hinges on CHIRP support for the radio] Howdy, I'd like to get a recommendation for a dual band mobile radio for a new ham that will (probably) not use it a whole lot. But it needs to work reliably enough, even if not a lot of features. Actually less features is fine, that is just less stuff to not understand & less to forget between uses! :-) Mounting a UV5R in a car doesn't seem like a good idea. 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). It is one of the few cheap Mobile units I see on the list of CHIRP supported radios. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home Amazon reviews seem fairly ok, especially for $99. I'm interested in a CHIRP-supported radio. This is intended for an 1997 Jeep Cherokee, and a small radio is probably a better match. It does need to be a dual bander. If the cost gets anywhere even near $200, I'd just recommend the Yaesu 7900 or Yaseu 8800. But for this situation, I'm open to hearing about cheaper alternatives that I might be able to recommend until this new ham grows into the "sport". Thanks for your helpful council. 73, Dave Nathanson KG6ZJO PS: if you know of a better forum to ask about CHIRP compatible mobile radios, it's ok to shoot me a pm or direct email about it.

When I bring up CHIRP for my BAOFENG UV-B5, all of the tone pls shoe 88.5, and all the digitals show 023 (both are the lowest tone digits). All of the tone tags are off. I can NOT clear this up, even if I change Rx and Tx tone, one will always go back to it's origonal lowest setting. There seems no way to to clear them all. HELP! Nick Swan

by Matt Wachala 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

I am trying to clone my new Baofeng UV-5R V2+ and my programming cable is up to date and I just so happened to download the newest version of chirp today and now I can download or upload anything from or to my radio. Even from my old radio it won't do either. It worked about a week ago. Now it won't do anything. Please help... Thanks. Sincerely, Matthew Wachala
