[chirp_users] programming issues
by Glenn Wise 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

9-19-2017 I am using Chirp and a TYT USB cable to program a TYT-9000D 2 meter ham radio. Software and USB cable work without any issues. I have tried MULTIPLE times to use same version of CHIRP and same USB cable to program a QTY-7900D and a QTY-8900D. I have NOT ever been able to read the QYT radio's. Neither model. The software will appear to start to read the radio and then drop out. Screen shows either comm. Error or says radio would not go into clone mode. By the software and cable working on the TYT-9000D, in my mind that clears the software and cable. IF there were any issues with the software or the cable, I don't believe I could use the combo on the TYT-9000D. I am open to any suggestions as what to do.

[chirp_users] TS-2000 SUB BAND EXPORT
by Tim Billingsley 07 Oct '17

07 Oct '17

1. Does CHIRP support the export of the memories on the SUB band or only the MAIN band? 2. Will there be further development on the TS-2000 in the future? I see that it us a"Live" radio, but being visually challenged CHIRP makes modifying setting on y various radios MUCH eaier. I can't speak for all, CHIRP beat the tar out of a flashlight and handheld magnifier. Thanks to all the developers that have worked to make this such a great tool!

Could not get Debian packages to install on Lubuntu. Installed Debian 9.1 Some kind of nannyware protection layer would not allow sudo. Back to Linux Mint 18.2 AMD64chirp-daily Still looking for a way to ID which USB port I am plugged into.I ran "download from radio" for ttys0 - ttyS10 and got the same message.No USB at the bottom of the menu, ends at ttyS31.

[chirp_users] Btech UV-25X4
by Greg Petrey 01 Oct '17

01 Oct '17

I know it is something I'm doing wrong but I can't get the Btech UV-25X4 to program. I can read the radio, update the templete and upload to the radio but it doesn't overwrite the display so my new channels only show up in position 4 on the display. The default channels remain in position 1-3. If someone has experience with this radio, please contact me offline or share a working file that I can compare. Thanking you in advance. Greg

Got a stable Linux system running. Nice and crisp and smooth, no molasseses or foot dragging. It takes only 25 seconds to boot up! Lubuntu - give it a try... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu Anyway I got past the permissions error, but now still have an error message. Error shows after turning on radio and clicking OK. See attached screen shot. Could not configure port:(5,'input/output error') I still have not found a way to ID which ttyS* I am plugged into. Rick
