The Chirp repo doesn't seem to work with Ubuntu 16.10. I get errors: W: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu yakkety Release' does not have a Release file. E: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu/dists/yakkety/main… 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download.

Hi, I just got a new Baofeng for my birthday. It is a BF-F9 V2. I use Chirp on Ubuntu. First off, is this radio in the list? And if so, will Ubuntu update to the latest Chirp? Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Can't download from Yaesu FT-817
by Carla Ruigh 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

Hello, I am having a heck of a time trying to start the process of programming my ft817 by doing the initial download. I bought one cable, and after multiple failures using both Mac and PC, I bought another cable, the more expensive one. On the Mac side, I’ve downloaded and installed the ftdi drivers from here: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm . Still does not work. The radio just goes into “error”. I’m not getting an error message from Chirp. The Radio screen just starts flashing “Error” a few seconds after I put it into transmit mode. The Drivers appear to be working as the download dialog shows “dev/cu.usbserial-AI04KBP8” as an option. I really don’t have any idea what else to try. On the PC side, (under parallels), under “Devices” I connect the FT232R USB UART to the PC. Same thing happens. I go to download from radio, now “Com6” is what shows up, when I hit transmit it just errors out after a few seconds. No error message from CHIRP. The clone dialog just sits there open. Would sure appreciate any suggestions. Getting really frustrated. –cj- On 10/12/16, 5:17 AM, "awake" <chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com on behalf of awake(a)0324am.net> wrote: Hi, A while ago I purchased a TYT-8000E and I'm trying to figure out whether there's a way how to make it work with chirp.

Are there any other people on this list using this radio? If yes, which SW are you using to program it? Also, if there's a developer willing to implement the support for this radio, I could provide hardware on loan and/or help out with testing..

[chirp_users] Baiston BST-520
by Bill Archer 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Hi Guys, I recently purchased a Baiston BST-520 UHF transceiver. I have tried programming it using all the Baofeng settings within Chirp but none of these work. I have a Baiston UV-558 which I can programme using the Baofeng UV-5r settings. Any ideas what I can use to programme the BST-520? Regards, Bill Archer. Sent from Mail for Windows 10
