[chirp_users] dumbest question - how to launch CHIRP?
by Dave Fitt 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

I downloaded current version for Windows and ran the installer. I see CHIRP folder on my desktop, but when I go in, I don't see any application or executable file (except Uninstall and w9xpopen, neither of which launch/start CHIRP). I'm not computer illiterate for heaven's sake but feel like an idiot not seeing what to click to start CHIRP. Thx folks for getting this noobie off the ground!

Hi, Does anyone have a North American Kenwood TH-D72 that they could do a factory reset on and send me the pristine image file ? There is an image in the images directory but it is a partially modified version. Thanks Angus

Re: [chirp_users] Chirp Update not replacing old version
by John Randle 15 Mar '16

Thanks for the quick response Jim. Yes Chirp was closed before I executed the install file. The installation confirms install location, and then proceeds to "churn & burn" for several minutes before giving me a successful message. I just repeated the process again to double check .. and this time I noticed that the default install location was not where my 20151126 version had been installed (go figure). Going to the default location I found the 2016 version. So, 1 issue has been resolved. I still have the other 2 issues that I reported last night (message 3 below) with the 2016 version (i.e. changing DTCS elements and the radio going into transmit after uploading to the radio). -- John 73's de K9RSQ On 3/15/2016 3:00 PM, chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com wrote: > Today's Topics: > > 1.

[chirp_users] Chirp Update not replacing old version
by John Randle 14 Mar '16

14 Mar '16

I have downloaded the daily build for Windows 10 (20160309), but when I execute the install file my previous version of Chirp (20151126) is not replaced. Is it necessary to uninstall the previous version before executing the new version's install file? -- John 73's de K9RSQ

[chirp_users] Baofeng woes
by Bobby Minchew 09 Mar '16

Everything seemed to be great with my first programming attempt. Now I'm getting the dreaded NO SOUND while someone is transmitting. I found through a search that I could push the mono button down to hear. It worked. So I've obviously got a corrupted image or something. I'm new to this and it seems I've ruined this BF-F9V2. Any easy fixes? Thanks for any advice. Bobby Minchew Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active

Now it works, fixed also the offset = off when you set a channel. I have extended the edges of the bands when they are very close to the ham bands, that's the way we use this radios in Cuba, for example: The radios with the default sub-band segment 148-174 Mhz can be pulled down to 144 Mhz in the lower edge with no problem, this mod works also in UHF. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <co7wt(a)frcuba.co.cu>] [TK-760] Extended sub-band edges to cover ham bands, fixes #3139 Extend the sub-band edges to cover ham bands in VHF/UHF This mod is extendend and tested here in Cuba (the factory software allow it) 73

Disregard. I had rctcs set on something other than OFF. Turned it to off and it worked Bobby Minchew Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S6 Active
