[chirp_users] CHIRP on Linux Command Line
by Danny Anderson 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

Hi all, I am currently working on a project to build an enhanced Fox Hunt set with a few features, most notably the ability to change broadcast frequency on a BOAFENG GT-3 and send a message by reading text from a CSV and putting this through Text to Speak. I currently have everything working except for the ability to make frequency changes through the command line. Can anyone point me in the direction of the correct documentation or give me a quick rundown of the console commands needed to either change the frequency or replace the pre programmed frequency list on the fly via the Linux console? Fully aware I may be going about this an arse about backwards way, so if there is a better way of achieving this I am all ears. Regards, Randie

[chirp_users] HTX 202
by Glenn 25 Oct '16

Hi, The discussion of the iCom made me wonder if I would be able to dig out my old HTX 202 that I got from Radio Shack about 25 years ago. It was based on some iCom model, and my old radio has the same microphone plug on the top as the one on my current radio. The antenna and squelch and volume buttons might get in the way though. Thanks. Glenn

Re: [chirp_users] BAOFENG UV-5R not writable by RT Systems

I see your point, John, but disagree. This list is advertised as a list of thousands of experts. I showed up locally to help someone who asked for it, and brought along CHIRP on my laptop because I use it for my BAOFENG radios. I also use RT, but for other radios. And yet another for my Kenwood. Personal choices, all. The person I am helping doesn't have my level of tech, so he needs some support. Same goes for me, wrt BAOFENG.. I don't know what the "radio type" is, and I didn't see it in CHIRP. I posted here in the hopes that someone could shed light on the question. I'll be following up on Fred's behalf with the radio vendor, RT Systems, and, now, here. All I want to do is help and educate, and I see this as a learning opportunity for me and for him. ~R~ On 2016-10-23 20:32:-0400, John wrote: >-------- Original Message -------- >From: Rich Messeder >Sent: Sunday, Oct 23, 2016 8:09 PM EST >To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com >Subject: [chirp_users] BAOFENG UV-5R not writable by RT Systems > >I know ;-) this is a chirp list. >_______________________________________________ > >And.. yet you still post an off-topic message >_______________________________________________ >chirp_users mailing list >chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com >http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users >This message was sent to WeatheredSoul at rich.messeder(a)gmail.com >To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com

[chirp_users] BAOFENG UV-5R not writable by RT Systems
by Rich Messeder 23 Oct '16

I know ;-) this is a chirp list. Well, a ham asked for my help. He had recently purchased 2 UV-5R from the same vendor. He uses RTS, and wanted to be able to help some new hams, so he figured that he'd make their radios (those UV-5R) just like his UV-5RA. One of the radios worked OK, the other not. I went over and tried CHIRP. It read and wrote to both the 5RA and the 5R. Then we tried with RTS. RTS would download from the UV-5R, but when it tried to upload, we got an error. BAOFENG UV-5R type 5831FFFFFFFFF BAOFENG UV-5R type 5804010000000 Didn't say what it expected, but I am guessing the first type code. Tomorrow (2016-10-24), I intend to contact RTS and the radio vendor, but I figured that I'd drop a note here in case this is familiar to any of you. BAOFENG UV-5R Version BFB297 Firmware HN5RV01 1 141006N 3+ON gives bfb297 6+ON gives 150304N ?? Not sure Thanks, ~R~

by Dave 23 Oct '16

I recently purchased a Leixen VV-898 and was able to program the radio very easy using CHIRP. I could not see where to set the clock in the radio. Maybe CHIRP doesn’t do that yet. Could you please some how let me know what to do. Thank you Dave Barber 73 KD0TUN
