The ones I am not sure about is the TONE SQL. DTCS CODE, DTCS RX CODE, DTCS POL, CROSS MODE and where do i get this information from. Thanks for any help. de WA5RACWe don't know what Tomorrow will bring so,We Thank The Father, for the Son, for Whom without we would have no tomorrow. "see you on the radio"

[chirp_users] Linux usb port in Ubuntu and Mint
by jon 23 Jan '16

23 Jan '16

I spent a lot of time trying to get my Linux computers to read from my Wouxun radio using both the Wouxun programming cable and an Ftdi1232 board and got a serial port error message. My mistake was selecting dev/ttyS0. You need to select dev/ttyUSB0 way down at the end of the tty list.

[chirp_users] FT7900r programmer
by Jon GrosJean 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

I am going to make a FT7900r programmer using an FTDI-1232 board which can be set for 3.3V or 5V logic level. The FT7900r uses 5V logic. There is an internal 4.7k pull up resistor on the PTT line, so an external pull-up is not needed. My question is about the data polarity. The DL8WA board inverts the RS-232 data on both receive and transmit. Maybe the person writing the program wrote it to work this way. Should I invert the outputs of the FTDI board when used with CHIRP? If not, a simple diode could be used on the TX data output to pull down the PTT input. If everything should be inverted, then a couple of transistors could be used. I will make my circuit available when finished.

[chirp_users] Error importing to VV-898
by Marc Fuller 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi All, Just purchased a Leixen VV-898. Downloaded the base image from the radio no problem. Went to import a CSV file of my channels and getting the following error.. [cid:image001.png@01D15536.B2DD7D70] The same CSV file is OK for all my other radio's, but not to Leixen. Once you press OK, the whole program hangs. Any help appreciated. Marc

[chirp_users] Ubuntu PPA version not up to date?
by Derek Tombrello 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

I have installed CHIRP on my Ubuntu 14.04LTS laptop using the PPA method as described here - http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download I kept getting "radio refused to send block xxx" errors, although it worked fine using the Windows under VirtualBox. After reading the bug reports, I tried using the "manual install" found here - http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux That worked perfectly. Looking at the About page, I see that the PPA version installed is 0.4.1 while the source version is daily-20160116. I'm just curious as to why the PPA version is not (or does not appear to be) up to date?

[chirp_users] Pofun UVTEN-4
by Jose Martinez 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

Hey guys, I recently Purchased a Pofung UVTEN-4 dual-band handheld. I had thought that chirp would support it when I purchased it, but found out after the fact that it does not (should have made sure first:-( ). In any event are there any plans to support this radio in the near future? -- Que te vaya bien JM
