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-20150202 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #322 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-5R] Update Service Settings for Squelch Change the maximun setting value from 64 to 123. Additional testing was done to determine the highest working value. #2165 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Normalize the name for the TYT TH-UV3R 2.5kHz driver Related to #1227 [Eric Allen <eric(a)hackerengineer.net>] Add support for new firmware in TYT TH-UV3R that supports 2.5kHz steps. This hopefully fixes #1227 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add TYT UV3R_2.5kHz image from Eric Allen Related to #1227 [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] [PATCH] Updated Memory Edit View #2 This patch adds "Select All" functionality to the memory editor via the app 'edit' menu and the memory editor context menu. Feature #2273 [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] [PATCH] Updated Memory Edit View #1 This patch helps addres a concern some individuals were having accessing the memory property page which contains some "extra" memory settings which are not editable on the main treeview. This change modified the memory editor taskbar to include a button which connects to the memory property page as well as adding a properties menu item to the vie menu and memory editor context menu. Access to the memory property page should now be slightly improved and more accessible to those people whom are not used to functioning with a 2-button mouse button. Feature #2273 [Jens Jensen <af5mi(a)yahoo.com>] [th9800] remove duplicate fmdev extra setting #2187 Changing mode in edit panel does not take effect due to competing extra setting fmdeviation. Remove extraneous setting, as mode covers this.

Re: [chirp_users] Bug #2155 - Uv-5r not receiving but will transmitt - Fixed
by Lawrence Stewart 01 Feb '15

I used the N5R2401(141006N)(factory).img My read firmware ver. BFB 297. But the error message in chirp said N5R2401. I went to the http://kc9hi.dyndns.org/uv5r/programming/CHIRPrecovery/ webpage. Downloaded the correct file. Uploaded the N5R2401(141006N)(factory).img Programmed the NOAA radio and to test. All fixed. 73 KA2HJH, Sincerely, Larry Stewart Splitrock ARA Webmaster 862-324-6232 -----Original Message----- From: Lawrence Stewart [mailto:lstew452@optonline.net] Sent: Friday, January 30, 2015 2:48 PM To: 'chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com' Subject: RE: Bug #2155 - Uv-5r not receiving but will transmitt I submitted this on Wednesday, January 28, 2015 11:00 PM.

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!

Re: [chirp_users] Correct radio choice in CHIRP, Baofeng UV-5RTP
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 01 Feb '15

Sam, I just looked on the page you gave and UV-5RTP is *not* listed on the page. I used the "find in page" (control f) twice, it is not there. *BF-F8HP* is there. See list pasted here. It is the ONLY high power radio "HP". BF-F8HP *(in daily builds)* *Also includes the BF-F9V2+* *Also includes the GT-3TP* *Also includes the UV-5R TP* BF-F8HP is also listed in my version of chirp-daily which I haven't updated for a month and a half. CHIRP daily-20141210 What should happen is that the CHIRP main page should have UV-5RTP listed under BF-F8HP. Oh, I see it now, it is listed as UV5R TP - there is a space between UV5R and TP, that's why "find" could not find it. So there you go the page tells you to use BF-F8HP - so everything agrees, right? I'm posting to the CHIRP List so they can see the resolution, your answer to the list also please. 73 David N1EA On Sun, Feb 1, 2015 at 9:08 AM, Sam C <kd0pld(a)gmail.com> wrote: > CHIRP does indeed list support for my model: > http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home > > It is right on their home page listed as I pointed out before. > > Also, the dealer I purchased from stated that the UV-5R programming > software was correct and the poster of the video below, reviewing the > UV-5RTP shows a different software version, VIP for UV5R, working. > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUv92tJk_8s > > I noted a comment below the video sy=stating that the correct radio drop > down is not the UV-5R as the name implies, but the BF-F8HP as the firmware > would indicate. > > Thanks for your help.

[chirp_users] Correct radio choice in CHIRP, Baofeng UV-5RTP
by Sam Chase 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

Hopefully I am doing this correctly: In CHIRP I need to pick the radio for Baofeng. I have a UV-5RTP, one of the new 8 watt units. Do I pick BF5-HP which matches the class of radio or do I pick UV-5R which matches the model designation? Thanks

[chirp_users] Looking for TYT TH-UV3R images
by Eric Allen 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

Hey folks, I've discovered a new firmware revision for the TYT TH-UV3R (TYT calls it the TH-UV3R25 in their software) that supports 2.5kHz channel steps and possibly a few other features, as well. I'm working on getting CHIRP to discriminate between the two radio versions, and I need your help. If you have a TH-UV3R, can you please send me a .img file to (ag6ie(a)wolak.net) downloaded from your radio? If I get enough of these together, I should be able to pinpoint the spot in memory that determines the version number so that we can make the support for the two versions seamless. Also, if you've attempted to program a TH-UV3R with CHIRP but the memories on the radio were blank or scrambled, then you're in luck: the next version of CHIRP should have full support for your radio. Thanks! -Eric AG6IE
