[chirp_users] Kenwood TK-762H

I have a couple of old Kenwood TK-762H transceivers. I see the issue on http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/3139 but I seem to be having troubles. When I attempt to read from the radio using TK-762G it appears to read from the radio then dumps the error dialog *"An error has occurred: The radio doesn't accept program mode"* ERROR: -- Exception: -- ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 238, in run self.__radio.sync_in() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/tk760g.py", line 884, in sync_in self._mmap = do_download(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/tk760g.py", line 517, in do_download _open_radio(radio, status) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/tk760g.py", line 478, in _open_radio raise errors.RadioError("The radio doesn't accept program mode") RadioError: The radio doesn't accept program mode ERROR: ---------------- ERROR: Clone failed: The radio doesn't accept program mode ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: The radio doesn't accept program mode --- ERROR: None ERROR: ---------------------------- If I attempt using TK-760 chirp attmpts to read and almost immediately dumps the error dialog saying *"An error has occurred Radio refuse to enter into program mode after a few tries"* ERROR: ---------------------------- ERROR: -- Exception: -- ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 238, in run self.__radio.sync_in() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/tk760.py", line 411, in sync_in self._mmap = do_download(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/tk760.py", line 255, in do_download open_radio(radio) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/tk760.py", line 227, in open_radio raise errors.RadioError(msg) RadioError: Radio refuse to enter into program mode after a few tries ERROR: ---------------- ERROR: Clone failed: Radio refuse to enter into program mode after a few tries ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: Radio refuse to enter into program mode after a few tries --- ERROR: None ERROR: ---------------------------- FWIW I am running CPU~Dual core AMD E2-1800 APU with Radeon HD Graphics (-MCP-) speed~1700 MHz (max) Kernel~4.2.0-34-generic i686 Mem~2035.9/3635.1MB HDD~750.2GB(35.9% used) Ubuntu 15.10 CHIRP daily-20160513 GTK 2.24.28 PyGTK 2.24.0 Python 2.7.10 I am also having issues with a QTY KT8900 I have tried to follow all this has been discussed on http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/2673 but to no avail. any assistance is appreciated

[chirp_users] TYT TH-9800(B) 220MHz

Hi, I have the 220 version of this quad band radio. This one has 220 instead of 440. I would love to see this specific model supported. I see someone added a "bug" request #3367 but should I start a "New Model Request" instead? I just don't want to cause any trouble with making duplicate requests. Thanks! Matt - K6PC

[chirp_users] Icom ic-t70
by Adam_K_Collins＠graco.com 06 Jul '16

Hi, I'm looking for help with my ic-t70. For months I have been trying to get an image file into Chirp. I have confirmed correct drivers, COM ports, and no faulty cables. All I ever get is "failed to communicate with radio, unexpected response from radio." Also, I'm using Windows 10. My cables are from Valley Enterprises. I also have a cable for my Yaesu 817-ND and this works flawlessly. It seems I've eliminated all but a bad radio, or a programming issue. My radio is brand new and seems to function perfectly. Does anyone have any history with this... something to help? Thanks, ——————————————————————————— Adam Collins

[chirp_users] Newbie questions - export/import in CSV
by Stormy 29 Jun '16

Hi there, So, got the UV-5RHP, and I hear everyone laughing, what diff do these letters at the end, anyways, it seems to be true 3-power with original UV-5R body: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Real-8W-BAOFENG-UV-5R-High-Power-Walkie-Talk… Now, is there a way in chirp to: 1) change ALL channels to LOW or HIGH/MED ? it seems very tedious to do one by one, and even if you do, next import from CSV overwrites all values to high it seems. 2) In CSV format power field does not appear to be present, is there a way to export/import POWER field? 3) In CSV there are 4 extra fields compared to software, what are they used for? | Comment | URCALL | RPT1CALL | RPT2CALL | " thanks.

[chirp_users] Changing Power Settings in Chirp csv file

*I think the easiest way to make large changes, a whole column for example is to open the csv file in Excel, make the change to the column them save as the same csv file.* *Reopen in Chirp and viola! Change is there.* *Dr. Jonathan Goodson*

I bought what appears to be the same unit, but labeled UV-5RTP (for tri-power, I presume?). Jim's directions work for me. In addition, note that once those channels are programmed, then they cannot be changed from the radio controls. However, You /can/ temporarily change the power level. Press #-lock to cycle through the power levels. It seems that once you choose a power level this way, the power setting remains until you reset the power level, turn the radio off|on again, or change programmed channels. In the latter case, the power level goes to the power level programmed for the new channel. I keep mine all programmed to low level, and cycle to higher levels as required. In fact, I wish that the lowest level were 0.5 W, not 1 W. Could not find a way to hack the radio to change that. ~R~ NE1EE Short email? No html?

[chirp_users] Zastone MP-300 a clone of the Waccom Mini 8900?
by Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hi to all, Chirp developer here for the BTECH/Juentai/Waccom/QYT/(huge list...) family. I have a paper note here about the ZASTONE MP-300 radio being a clone of the Waccom Mini-8900 and I can't find the reference or confirmation to it. (busy days here, sorry.) Can any of you test/confirm this out? If any of you have a ZASTONE MP-300 and want to have it supported by Chirp, please contact me off list. Cheers. -- 73 Pavel CO7WT.

[chirp_users] IC92AD Download from radio issues

Hi, As of build 20160625 the read is getting much further, however after clicking the various sections I get to Bank Names (Band B) and get a pink window with no data displayed. The status bar shows [0] Getting bank information for memory 399 The DSTAR window is not populated either. Running in terminal reports the following errors: On clicking Banks (Band B): Exception in thread Thread-4: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 810, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/common.py", line 261, in run job.execute(self.radio) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/bankedit.py", line 138, in execute mappings = self.__model.get_memory_mappings(mem) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/icf.py", line 544, in get_memory_mappings index = self._radio._get_bank(memory.number) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/ic9x.py", line 83, in _get_bank return mem._bank AttributeError: Memory instance has no attribute '_bank' It seems that the bug in Bank A has been corrected, but the same or similar bug occurs in Bank B, once again trying to read Bank names for memories that dont have bank name attributes. Thanks Wenlock
