[chirp_users] win 10

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] Icom IC-V82
by Peter O'Hanlon 14 Sep '15

My IC-V82 doesn't work with Chirp. I am using Chirp for Mac. Works 100% with my Baofeng UV5-R. Chirp uploads from the radio and downloads to the radio until right at the end it says that there was an error and wipes the radio. I have to use a Windows machine to program it. Any ideas/solutions? Cheers Pete ZS1OH

[chirp_users] Icom IC-A24

I have been using chirp for years on my amateur band UV-3Rs but now I have received an Icom IC-A24 air band nav/com HT to replace my old air HT It looks like I will need a new USB-serial-3.5mm cable with TRS rather than TRRS perhaps a different pinout, ebay has them cheap The question is, can I even use chirp to program and clone the radio or does it use a different format than the amateur radios? Is there any risk trying to dump with chirp and the correct cable or do I need to run the official Icom software with WIne or virtualbox in Ubuntu?

Hi all, Can anybody put together a driver/ firmware (not sure what to call it) for the BK EMH5990a so that it could work with chirp? or is there one already? thanks and 73, Pierce KG5IFP

Chirp 0.4.1 doesn't seem to recognize this radio. Is there a new build for Mac OS 10.10.5 for this? Sent from my iPhone

[chirp_users] What help is there for non-programmer to learn Chirp and Python for Icom IC-2800H
by KB1ELE - Lee T. Davy 26 Aug '15

All, I sent to developer as well but maybe ask here as well. I have a circa 2000 Icom IC-2800H with virtual box XP on OS X for CS2800.exe cloning software. I am sucessfully downloading to ubuntu KBOIQ on old MacBook Laptop (64 bit) and maybe older HP 1125nr Netbook. I have been able to get memory sized and names in browser with skip bits mapped. I also figured that the memory frequencies are really weird to see in browser as hex. portmon, ICF and screen capture of CS-2800 are completed. Also attempted same on Icom IC-V8 with CS-V8, portman but no success with Chirp detecting or fake outs. What I have learned is in code at end of message. What I haven't learned is how to display in Chirps UI or how to decipher Python flow. Where should I go from here ? Radio is NOT available for loan. Visits or local (01450, USA) mentors are welcome though.

Hi! I am a new subscriber to this list. Can anyone tell me if there is a daily build that works with the uv-5r, firmware Ver. NSR3409 BFP3-25 that will show the tree power levels. I found builds that work with my radio but they just show the high and low power levels. Thanks Marv VE4KE

I have down loaded the daily build and unpacked it into a folder named "chirp". What else do I need to do to install this in my PCLINUX OS? KenB KM4KKM

Hi All, I have now got the problem cracked. I had to set to “Tone” and not “TSql” for those two channels. Both now work OK. Thanks to Stan for pointing me in the right direction. Martin G3ZQU
