I'm trying to install CHIRP the "Latest Daily Builds" into the CHIRP 0.4.1, and I keep getting the following error message "Error opening file for writing", which keeps happening. I'm having problems programming a Baofeng UV-5R, and I found solutions that required the Latest Daily Builds, but I can't seem to get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good day everyone! As fas as I know the famous radio programming tool CHIRP doesn't support this radio, yet. I have managed to read my FT-270 with CHIRP by selecting VX-170 from the dropdown menu. Will I expirience any issues after I upload the image back to the FT-270 radio? Thanks. -- 73! de YL3IM

[chirp_users] Setting up banks/groups on Yaesu VX-3
by Mike Lubrecht 05 May '15

05 May '15

Hello all! I’ve just successfully uploaded a set of channels and other settings to my Yaesu VX-3. Those work perfectly. I then used Chirp to name three banks and select which channels I wanted to populate those banks. When I uploaded again, the radio doesn’t seem to recognize them – when I use the FW and/or BAND key to access them, I get a “NO BNK” message. I downloaded my image back from the radio, just to see if it had properly uploaded – all looked correct. Any hints on how to make the radio recognize the banks I’ve set up. Thanks!

[chirp_users] Tone setting is not persistent and is overridden
by Nicholas Papadonis 02 May '15

02 May '15

Folks, Chirp 0.4 and 20141215 version both seem to have an issue with PL tone setting. When I use the drop down to select a PL for Tone and then a different one for ToneSQL, one of the two PLs is either set to the default 88.5 or incorrect. I’m using a Baofeng UV-5R however find this behavior occurs even when working with CSV files. For instance, I have the following CSV file: Location,Name,Frequency,Duplex,Offset,Tone,rToneFreq,cToneFreq,DtcsCode,DtcsPolarity,Mode,TStep,Skip,Comment,URCALL,RPT1CALL,RPT2CALL 4,N2JDW,147.150000,-,0.600000,TSQL,136.5,123.0,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, I then import it and results in the following: 4,N2JDW,147.150000,-,0.600000,TSQL,123.0,123.0,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, As you can see, the first Tone value was overridden after the import. It should be 136.5, however is 123.0. I find similar behavior when saving a Chirp image files and loading it back it. Therefore this impacts more then just CSV import. Appreciate any insight here if this is a bug or not. Thanks, Nick KB1GZN

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 02 May '15

02 May '15

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-20150502 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #348 [Tyler Tidman <tyler.tidman(a)draak.ca>] Add French VHF Marine channel stock config. Fixes #1809. [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-B5] Remove local "validate_memory" helper Remove the local "validate_memory" helper and the 70 MHz maximum split limit that it imposes. Related to #2559 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] Add tx freq check Add TX frequency check to common memory validation routine to ensure it always fall withing radio supported ranges, including when split is set Also fix bruteforce test which was using a too low RX freq with - split Implement #2557 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [BF-F8HP] Add Support for New Firmware String Add detection for F5R3407 firmware. related to #2551 [Richard Cochran <ag6qr(a)sonic.net>] [ft2900] Fix checksum calc for Euro version of FT-2900/FT-1900 (#2501) This patch fixes the checksum calculation for the European versions of the FT-2900/FT-1900 radio. The US and Euro versions have different IDBLOCK strings. It turns out that the radio's checksum algorithm includes the IDBLOCK data as it calculates the checksum, but the original CHIRP ft2900 driver code hadn't taken this into account. The differences in the IDBLOCK strings were causing checksum mismatch. [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [termn8r] Add Anytone TERMN-8R Support #2437 Add most "Function Setup" settings that are common to the OBLTR-8R and TERMN-8R radios. related to #2437 [Chris Fosnight <chris.fosnight(a)gmail.com>] [ft60] Corrects minor typos in UI. Fixes #2535 Changes "CTCSS/DSC/DTMF Settings" to "CTCSS/DCS/DTMF Settings". Changes Miscellaneous Settings "Bush Channel Lock-Out" to "Busy Channel Lock-Out". #2535
