Anyone else have an issue with the FM preset? I change it and upload to the radio successfully, but when I turn the radio on it goes to the default 76mhz?

[chirp_users] Importing a CVS files into a Chirp/IC2200H image file.
by Peter Akins 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Hi All, I am a new user to Chirp and I am initially using it with an Icom IC 2200H (around 200 memories). Cable and com port all OK. Chirp talk to the radio. I am endeavouring to import a general CVS file of the local repeater list as published by the WIA (Wireless Institute of Australia) here in Australia. I have created an image file from the IC 2200H by ³downloading from the radio². No problems in doing that (works perfectly!). I save this image file for future reference, but that is an incidental comment. I leave the image file ³open² in Chirp. I then attempt to import the local WIA Repeater list into this image file. However, I receive a message that indicates ³UNKNOWN FILE FORMAT². (I have deleted all Repeaters from the WIA Listing that are not 2 metres, so as to keep the list below 200 repeaters, and so as not to compile a list (via the import function) that is incompatible with the IC 2200H (a 2 metre radio only) I guess my question is, how do I prepare the WIA Repeater list (a CVS file which I can see using Excel, of course) so its image matches the Chirp/IC2200H image, and will then presumably enable the import function to operate nicely.

On new radios I always download it's image then upload that image just to make sure both ways work before customizing the image. This takes most guesswork from troubleshooting if a problem does occur. Milton Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

Re: [chirp_users] Successfully programming BF8HP with CHIRP

Hi, I've been using CHIRP to download/upload programming images to my BaoFeng BF8HP since I got it a few weeks ago. I use the BF8HP field selection in the radio upload/download window and haven't had any problems. I obviously use the most recent build and update with the most recent daily build, and again no problems. Personally I always download the programming image first, make changes, then save the changes and upload the programming. This way I know the link and software are working by downloading first, and this (maybe I'm wrong about this) way I'm not altering the radio first. Just some positive feedback.

Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] Fixup wouxun radio settings There was a small issue with the construction the top level radio settings group for some of the wouxun radios. This attempts to resolve that. Bug #2285

[chirp_users] Are Baofeng & Wouxun FCC compliant?
by Bob Fk 21 Mar '15

21 Mar '15

Recently here in Oz, there have been a number of Chinese radios use by Marine Rescue people, confiscated by ACMA officers claiming interference potential and the usual BS. ACMA in Oz is similar to FCC in the US. I notice my Wouxun complies with FCC part 15 but cannot find a similar statement in the Baofeng manual. I believe as amateurs (full calls) we are allowed to build our own gear so I assume we, the licensed operator, are responsible for complying with licensing requirements and are not limited to commercial, type approved, expensive equipment. I would assume Australian laws would be similar to US laws in this respect. How would this issue affect non Ham users, i.e. CB, Commercial, Civil Defence, Volunteer Fire & Rescue organisations etc? -- 73 Bob, *VK2BYF *

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20150321 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #341 [Richard Cochran <ag6qr(a)sonic.net>] [ft2900] Fix cross tone when channel entered via Radio panel (#2445) This submission makes FT-2900 cross tone support more robust, and protects against a problem where the radio would sometimes use the high order bit of the tone and/or DTCS code field as a bit flag. The code had been using the entire byte as an index into the TONES or DTCS_CODES array, and when the high order bit was set, the value was too high by 128, resulting an array bounds error. Fix is to alter MEM_FORMAT to separate the high order bit flags from the lower 7 bit tone and code fields. This also adds some error checking via a "try" block to catch any remaining array bounds errors (though none are expected). And it adds code which attempts to set those bit flags the way the radio would have set them, even though the flags seem to have no effect on the way the radio transmits or receives. Thanks to Chris Fosnight for finding and reporting the problem.
