Hi Using Chirp with either a Baofeng UV-5R or Intek KT 980HP is it possible to remove the 2 metre and 70 centimetre facility so that only the user programmed frequencies are available for use. Any help appreciated Regards BernieBernard Dowley

by djkwasny＠aol.com 10 Aug '16

Hi, I am trying to move Baofeng data to a Yaesu ft-7900R. If I load the Baofeng data into Chirp It selects Baofeng in the upload box and I cannot change it as it is grayed out. Any help anyone can provide will be appreciated. Thanks, Joe - K5WAS

Re: [chirp_users] General: Updating CHIRP

sometimes every day at other times it might be a week or more. they don't seem to have a set schedule. before I use CHIRP I check for any updates.

That is, given all the daily releases (i.e., alpha testing), is there ever a "looks pretty stable to me" release? What I've got now does what I need done (very well - good on ya!). OTOH, a new release might do something useful that I don't have in the release I use. But I prefer not to do alpha or beta testing if I can avoid it. So... how often does a stable release come out? 73 de KC3DOO Rick _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Jock at kc6iih(a)aol.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com

I have tried to copy and paste, the copy goes fine but the paste doesn't. Without importing a file there is no grid to paste to. What am I missing. Thanks, Joe - K5WAS

Doesn't really matter what's in the Yaesu but you have to download from it so that CHIRP understands its memory and settings layout. Once you have a tab with the Yaesu download data you can paste the data from the Baofeng into it. Then you can upload from the Yaesu tab to the Yaesu radio.

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-8900 Not Accepting File
by Deane Bouvier 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

The FT-8900 returns an error message that it doesn't ack block 0 when I try to write to it. That is after a successful read. The USB to serial device is operating properly and Chirp is pointed to the correct Com Port. OS is Windows 7. I have been successful before so this seems to be a new problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. N5DQ
