[chirp_users] baofeng cable

is there any chance that someone is able to write the s/w necessary to [in WIN 10] DELETE the FTDI driver which renders the baofeng cable inoperative AND write the s/w which would REenable the baofeng cable after FTDI has trashed it so we can use it w/ CHIRP and WIN 10? tnx, larry KD9AVZ

[chirp_users] Chirp and Icom IC-7200
by Bill 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

Ok so I am wanting to use chirp to upload memories to my Icom IC-7200 Amateur Radio. Now the IC-7200 has a USB and a CIV connection. My understanding is that the USB should work, But I cannot seem to get it to work. I do not have a CIV cable. So does anyone have any experience with the IC-7200? Can I use the USB connection to upload memories? Or am I going to need a CIV cable? Thanks Bill

[chirp_users] BaoFeng UV-5RTP Firmware Version BFP3-25
by Dan Jolley 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

I just recently purchased a Baofeng UV-5RTP with Firmware Version BFP3-25. If I understand the instructions correctly on the danplanet website, then I should select the Baofeng BF-F8HP model in Chirp to program the UV-5RTP. Am I correct? According to the Chirp website, the Baofeng UV-5RTP is listed under the Baofeng BF-F8HP for programming compatibility. The following is copied from the danplanet Chirp website: BF-F8HP (in daily builds) Also includes the BF-A58 Also includes the BF-F9V2+ Also includes the GT-3TP Also includes the UV-5RTP Also includes the UV-5R7W Any help or information will be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Dan Jolley

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

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-20160215 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #384 [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <co7wt(a)frcuba.co.cu>] [PATCH][TK-270] Fix a missing txenable flag, Fixes #3279 A flag for txenable on set_channel was missing and was causing the TX freqs of all channels edited by chirp to get not on the freq you programmed. Sorry for the inconvenience. [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-5R] Leave Immutable Elements Alone Some immutable (set_mutable(False)) elements that were expected to be unchangeable by the user were being changed by CHIRP when filtered and then they were being updated by the "def set_settings(self, settings):" procedure. This patch updates this procedure so it does not reset immutable elements. related to bug #3305

[chirp_users] Baoefeng
by Mike Ligeza 14 Feb '16

I fixed my problem with CHIRP and the BAOFENG UV82L. I found that CHIRP would work using either of the UV82 models. Cause was probably finger problems more than anything. Thanks for the help. -- ............................................... Mike Ligeza - VE3UIL/VE3UIM Smiths Falls, ON mike.ligeza(a)gmail.com From my Linux box running Ubuntu 15.10

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV82L vs UV82
by Mike Ligeza 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

I am trying to program a Baofeng UV82L. I compiled a csv file with all the necessary parameters but if I try to import it I get a "UNKNOWN FORMAT" error message. If I open OPEN the file from within CHIRP and I select either UV82HP or UV82 format, none of the information is there. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? -- ............................................... Mike Ligeza - VE3UIL/VE3UIM Smiths Falls, ON mike.ligeza(a)gmail.com From my Linux box running Ubuntu 15.10

[chirp_users] Column Differences
by Walt Childson 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

There are some new columns in the Img file but those columns do not get generated in CSV. In general the IMG columns, the memory Properties column list, the CSV columns and the WiKi column definitions are not in sync. I especially would like to use the Power column. 1. In the config file, if I change the column_order_rmemoryeditor column list to the values in the column_order_dstarmemoryeditor list, or add the missing columns to each so they are all inclusive on both, would that make the IMG and CSV identical? And also make the Generic csv the same? 2. And how will I be able to edit the Power (no values) and Skip (skip options are blank and S, no P) Thanks Walt N6STM

[chirp_users] 20160209 Build Issue
by Walt Childson 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Filippi Marco worked on issue 3281 (Copying Special Channels), and I was under the impression it would be in this build. So I installed the 20160209 build. But my FT857D is no longer able to download to Chirp. I checked communications with another freeware product, and COM3 is working by directional. Attached is the Chirp log. 1. Is 3281 issue fixed in this build? 2. What is my current issue with the inability to download? As an FYI, I previously attempted to load a Boafeng software program for the GT-3TP, which did not work. But I did the full install of Chirp afterwards. Thanks for you help again. Walt N6STM
