[chirp_users] win 10

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] BF 888S Failure To Program
by Ed T 30 Mar '16

30 Mar '16

Using chirp I get message "An error Occurred" Radio Refuses to enter programing mode when trying to download radio settings. Works OK with ZT-Vrom Miklor. I had software on old computer running Win XP and all worked fine. Now on new computer with Windows 7 we have this problem. I have good driver and good cable. Are others experiencing this problem also using windows 7? Ed Thibedeau

Re: [chirp_users] We are looking for serial log of a QYT KT8900 radio with 220Mhz / QYT KT8900 radio with 220Mhz (KT8900R)
by Stan 29 Mar '16

Hello. I don't have the QYT KT8900 radio with 220Mhz yet, but I'm planning on getting one soon. This may help you a little, from my research the QYT KT8900 radio with 220Mhz is model QYT KT8900_R_ (note the "R" on the end). Also the Zastone MP-320 appears to be the exact same radio. These claim that they have a range of 240-260MHz, therefore they do NOT cover the US band of 222-225MHz. I have found this, too, but haven't tried it yet: "Changing the 'PASSWORD' on these is supposed to change the range of the associated band coverage. I have been told to 'hold F and power on, get PASSWORD' and then you could use this to change the 'PASSWORD' which supposedly _actually changes the Rx/Tx range_." So that procedure could be used to change the "222MHz" range from 240-260 to 222-225MHz, /_*IF* it actually works that way!_//_ _/The filters in the QYT KT8900R may not be able to cover 222 though, they may be designed to just cover 240-260. Again, I have not tried this, I just found it on the internet. I have the BTECH MINI UV-2501+220 (haven't tried it yet) and it appears to be the same thing also, except it comes already set up for 210-230MHz instead of 240-260. Maybe the filters are tuned a little differently?? Maybe something else is different also?? HTH! 73 Stan K8LL NW Ohio 10-10# 76801 FP# 3255 Propagation is our master . . . but sometimes the master is cruel!
