[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R error message
by HughCPA 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

I have a problem with programming a Baofeng UV-5R radio with the CHIRP program. I get the following error message: Radio refused to send block 0x1ec0 I am a lowly accountant and do not understand a lot of the jargon and abbreviations commonly used by radio enthusiasts. I previously programmed 7 Baofeng UV05R radios in the past few months without any problem. So . . . is there a solution to the error message? Thank you very much! HMC KK6GGH

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT60 connection problem
by James Baughn 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

I am using the cable from RT Systems to attach my FT60R to the system. When the cable is connected, Port /dev/ttyUSB0 is displayed. If the cable is not connected, no port is displayed in the radio box. However, using the method for which the RT System windows program uses, I get a time out on the Download procedure. The method used is turn the FT60R on holding the [Moni/TCall] key. The dial is rotated to CLONE. The [FW] key is pressed so CLONE blinks and comes back. The OK button is selected and the transfer should take place. Any ideas? Jim

[chirp_users] CHIRP Suggestion
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 04 Apr '15

04 Apr '15

I suggest that the file for the latest stable be replaced by a Daily Build that was an excellent one. Better yet would be to ELIMINATE a stable build and just have a link to Today's latest Daily Build. It would eliminate 99% of people's problems with CHIRP. Because of the problem with the stable build existing, people get frustrated and eventually get fed up with CHIRP. They have a point, the stable version should at least be changed to a version after the Baofeng firmware change that introduced incompatibility. CHIRP is an excellent program, it deserves much better. Eliminate the stable build and just have a Daily Build. Those builds are stable enough. 73 David N1EA

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R / CHIRP questions
by Michael D Earls 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

When using the graduated squelch settings under Service Settings, what is the correct setting for Carrier Squelch Setting under Basic Settings? As an alternate to setting Menu 32 to SITE, what effect would setting ANI-ID to OFF have? Or are there different, quieter alarm sounds besides 119 (32 still set to SITE, but surrounding folks wouldn't know you just pressed Alarm)? Work Mode Settings is confusing to me since I don't see all of the CHIRP settings reflected in my radio. MR A and MR B show 51 and 41 respectively, yet my radio loads 27, 20, even after battery swap. The VFO A & B: similarly display last used freqs and not what CHIRP has. Display A or B:is set to B, but I don't what that means since A & B: are always visible. Work Mode Settings shows PTT-ID default as 1 (20202). What would be the effect of erasing the entry completely? Thanks in advance, Mike Earls AF5MS TSRA Life Member NRA Benefactor Member
