[chirp_users] Boafeng Help
by DonieAllen1971＠Yahoo.com 24 Jan '17

I recently purchased a Boafeng UV-5RA. I was able to get the NOAA weather stations programmed for the areas I travel too. But I am having a problem getting the local Emergency Response stations programmed. I have the frequencies but cant seem to pick up the transmissions. I would appreciate any help/advice anyone would be willing to provide to me. Thank you.

[chirp_users] MAC OS Sierra

I have tried to run CHIRP (old & new ) on my MAC OS Sierra 10.12.2. on a Macbook Pro Retina Intel Core I.5. I disabled the SIP as per instructions in your Mac os tips: (cut & Paste below) but CHIRP still does not run. When I double click on the CHIRP Icon (after unzipping) It flashes like it its about to start but nothing happens. Any offers? 73's Eric Application Security in 10.12+ As of 10.12 (Sierra) the UI for disabling app security was removed. The functionality is still there, but must be enabled from the command line. To whitelist a single application (like an unzipped chirp-daily.app): 1. unzip chirp.zip 2. control click on the unzipped application and select New Terminal at Folder. (Don't see that menu item? Instructions to enable it <https://lifehacker.com/launch-an-os-x-terminal-window-from-a-specific-folde…> ) 3. run this command in the newly opened terminal window: 4. spctl --add $PWD

[chirp_users] Can't program BF-888s
by Ed Danaher 22 Jan '17

22 Jan '17

I have a problem getting chirp to download from a Baofeng BF-888s. I wanted a UHF only HT and who could resist one for $13. However when I try to download from the radio, instantly I get the message “An error has occurred” There is no delay as the computer tries to connect to the radio. I have used Chirp successfully to program a Kenwood TH-F6A and a Baofeng UV5R and am sure the cable is seated securely. I am using the same program, drivers, and cable and selecting the BF 888 radio from the dropdown menu. I tried putting the radio on channel 16 per bug #1441. It didn’t help. Before I send the radio back to Amazon, I wonder if there is something I’m doing wrong. Some specifics: Desktop is iMac running OS Sierra 10.12.2 Using Chirp daily build 20170111 Wouxon cable Radios - Kenwood TH-F6a and Baofeng UV5R work fine. Any help would be appreciated. Ed KV4MI

[chirp_users] Chirp and Baofeng radios
by Patrick Brown 22 Jan '17

This is not a complaint but maybe a bug. I program radios for our SAR unit and we have some Baofeng UV5R radios. Using Chirp I programed my 4 with out any problem and saves the data. when i went to program some others they would not program no matter what i did , the popup said a bunch of stuff to include something about firmware? I think i am using the latest Version or chirp. this did this on two different computers. After trying different ways i change to the UV5 vip program and downloaded the data from a programmed radio , and uploaded to the 4 radios that would not program with chirp with out a problem? Also on Chirp I found when downloading from a programmed radio channel 0 and 2 do not always copy? both computers are using Windows 7 -- Patrick Brown YCSRT 3213 N7FHB Wilhoit SYCSRT TEAM Manager http://ycsrt.org T.E.A.M = Together Everyone Accomplishes More

Hello Jim, Yes, I also have a single cable unlike the Baofeng double variety, and I still get the same message... I have also tried with the manufacturers software that I downloaded from their website, in-fact they have 2 versions..and no luck with either. I have just ordered ANOTHER cable that is specified as THE ONE for this radio...has not arrived yet... lets see what happens with this one! I am getting to the stage of introducing this radio to my friend...Winchester!!! ..If you know what I mean!!! Grrr 73's Eric

Hi Jardy, Yeap, I have made sure the cable is well seated so I do not think there is a connection problem. :-( I might just open up the radio and see if the jack plug is actually lining up with the socket contacts Has anyone else had a similar problem and solved it? Thanks Eric

[chirp_users] Zastone MP-300

Greetings CHIRPers, I am having problem with a ZASTONE MP-300. I have tried all versions of CHIRP....old and latest version. I have the proper 'Prolific' cable and it works with all other Chinese radios..Baofeng, TYT, Wouxon, etc. but noe the MP-300 When I try to program the MP-300 even when CHIRP suggests trying to use other makes as they are clones of the MP-300, it still cannot communicate with the radio. The message I get is 'Radio did not enter clone mode' I am using XP Pro Any suggestions please 73's Eric
