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-20150814 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #360 [Tyler Tidman <tyler.tidman(a)draak.ca>] Fixes #2001: Shorten names of US Marine VHF channels. Rename file to be consistent with other stock configs. Correct gaps in US and FR Marine VHF stock configs. [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-5R] Move Baofeng BF-A58 Support to the correct model When it was discovered that the BF-A58 radio had 3 power levels, the "ident" was mistakenly moved to the Intek KT-980HP model. This patch moves it to the Baofeng BF-F8HP model. Related to #2261

[chirp_users] How to reinstate radio instructions
by Terry 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

Hi All, have looked all over the place but can't find an answer other than completely uninstalling the program. At some point I have clicked the box "Don't show instructions for any radios" How do I now reinstate this feature as I'm working across a range of different units? Thanks in advance, Terry

[chirp_users] Setting a channel to receive only
by Scott Miller 13 Aug '15

Hi, I have a Baoefeng UV-5R that I program with chirp. Some of the frequencies I just want to monitor (such as the fire department). I did a search and it led me to Bug 211 in the Chirp Issues. None of the instructions in the issue seem to work for me and the ticket has not been updated in 3 years. Any information would be appreciated. Scott WA6CGO

I've just installed the latest build of chirp but can't seem to upload to my Yaesu FT-817nd. I can download the memory without any issues, but when I try to up load I get an error, 'radio did not ack block 0'. Any ideas how to get round this?

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5RA Offset Resets to 000.000
by Kiera Koster 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

I have noticed that no matter how I program my Baofeng UV-5RA (CHIRP, Baofeng Software, manual programming from the radio's keyboard) the offset will reset to 000.000 and not keep the programmed offset of 000.600. Does anyone know why this particular radio does that? I appreciate any help I can receive. Kiera KG7RKU

[chirp_users] Issue Loading to a KenwoodTH-F6A
by n9jcq＠aol.com 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Hi all, I am new to Chirp so forgive the nooby question. I have a file in both CSV and Chirp format that I am trying to load to my F6A. I cannot load either file because I cannot activate the upload option from the menu nor Crtl U. I can download from the radio with no issues. Any suggestions? Joe, N9JCQ

[chirp_users] Chirp Works!!!
by F Mitchell 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

THANKS Chirp developers! In the past few days, I have programmed 4 Baofeng UV5R radios of various vintage, a Kenwood TH-F6, a Yaesu VX-8GR, and Wouxun KG-UV8D and KG-UVD1P radios using Chirp latest daily build. (20150702). I found 4 generic programming cables in my programming box, all apparently Prolific chipped or clones, all worked. All the cable chips were identified as Prolific by Windows or by Linux. I have used Windows 7 on an Asus laptop, Windows 7 running in Virtual Box on a MacBook Pro, Kubuntu running in Virtual Box on the MacBook Pro, and Ubuntu 14.04 running on an HP Spirit 13 (I dumped Win 8) to do the programming. Chirp just worked on all of that hardware and different operating systems. I briefly tried to get Chirp going native on the MacBook Pro, but didn’t spend the time as Chirp was working great on the Mac in Virtual Box. Things I learned: plug in the programming cable after Chirp is running; and you have to find the correct port that the programming cable is on. Chirp just works!!! THANKS! THANKS!! THANKS!!!
