[chirp_users] win 10
by William Coleman 30 May '16

30 May '16

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] Request for assistance -- Ubuntu and daily build
by gplayle 27 Sep '15

27 Sep '15

Folks: I'm a bit puzzled. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I followed instructions for adding the repositories and pulling and installing CHIRP (which is a very nice bit of work). But I am unable to install the daily builds. Here are the errors I receive: sudo apt-get install chirp-daily Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: chirp-daily 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/329 kB of archives. After this operation, 2,418 kB of additional disk space will be used. (Reading database ... 221002 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack .../chirp-daily_20150814~trusty~1_i386.deb ... Unpacking chirp-daily (20150814~trusty~1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/chirp-daily_20150814~trusty~1_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/chirp/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/CHIRP.mo', which is also in package chirp 0.4.1-1.0~kamal~trusty dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/chirp-daily_20150814~trusty~1_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I went to the directory specified and removed the file, allowing the next installation to write whatever it wanted. I got the same error. What am I doing incorrectly? Reason for the question: Wouxun KG-UV2D is supported on the "home" page, but not listed in the radios of the version of CHIRP (0.4.1) I currently have. I would like to fix this. I spent most of the last two days finding out what is and is not supported for the Baofeng (Pofung) UV-3R, which I know is an older model. I was working from *.csv files. I offer that information if someone wishes it. Thank you in advance. Respectfully Greg

[chirp_users] Question about disabling transmit on a Baofeng UV-5x
by bill＠riess.us 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

Once you have uploaded from the radio (or loaded a saved image from the model you are using) you can disable transmit by: 1 - click "Settings" on the extreme left (There is a column that says "Memories" and "Settings" - click on Settings) 2 - click on "Other Settings" in the second menu column 3 - Change the VHF and UHF frequency limits as desired (e.g. 144-148 and 420-450) You can disable transmit all together by unchecking the boxes next to VHF and UHF "TX Enable" KW9WR Bill

[chirp_users] KG-UV3D rescue image
by Robert Morningstar 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

Hello: I recently repaired my KG-UV3D by replacing the memory chip using the procedure described at http://tim-yvonne.com/ham/wouxun-memory/index.htm I am having the problem that the radio apparently has reset itself to the other band as when I attempt to use the Wouxon software I am now getting a Channel Message 1 Out of Range message. Is there a rescue image that I can use to reset this radio back to factory defaults? The web page listed above list 2 image files but they are for a KG-UVD1P. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Bob Morningstar

[chirp_users] Clean BF-F9+TP Image Required
by Douglas Yates 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

Hi all I have a Pofung BF-F9+TP which I am having problems with. I can't access the local repeater even though the rig seems to be set up correctly. It's transmitting on the correct input frequency, but it won't open the repeater, even though it's on the same settings as my UV-5R which works just fine. I suspect I may have got something wrong during programming and, like an idiot, I forgot to get a nice clean copy of the software when it first arrived. Does anyone have a known-good image for firmware N5R3401 - BFP3-25, preferably one that is known to work with a repeater? Douglas Yates

[chirp_users] Writing to radio
by John Warren 25 Sep '15

What would be causing the chirp windows download version to not allow writing from chirp to Baofeng...only will write from Baofeng to chirp. It's like that option is dead...meaning shows up in ghost type on computer screen where everything else is in bold type. Thanks, John
