[chirp_users] Anyone had luck programming an Anytone AT-929 (not G model)?
by John Kirk 06 Dec '17

I know it's not on the list for CHIRP, but you seem like a bright bunch 😊 Somebody is dumping these things on Aussie Ebay with a bizarre assortment of 145 MHz simplex frequencies in them. It would seem that my program cable for my old Baofeng UV-3R is more or less appropriate, but the "read" is pretty garbled when letting CHIRP try to auto-discover. Thanks in advance John VK4TJ

[chirp_users] Chierda CD-728 software?
by Sveinn Adalsteinsson 04 Dec '17

04 Dec '17

Hi everyone, I just bought 2 Chierda CD-728 handheld VHF radios and a program cable, do you know of any place to get a functioning software to program these? To my knowledge CHIRP doesn't support them and the vendor has only Win 7 version, I have difficulties in getting access to that OS here. I have Win 8.1 in my computer. All the best, Sveinn

[chirp_users] Cannot program Baofeng UV-5R-3
by Robert McKelvy 04 Dec '17

04 Dec '17

I cannot get my new radio (Baofeng model UV-5R-3 tri-band from MTC) to respond to a "Download From Radio" using CHIRP. The radio shows no indication that it is being accessed. My other Baofeng (regular UV-5R) is working on the same computer as expected. The CHIRP version I am using : CHIRP daily-20171126 GTK 2.24.10 PyGTK 2.24.0 Python 2.7.3 The CHIRP error message: Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want. Radio selected in CHIRP: BTECH UV-5X3 I understand that the driver (uv5x3.py) has been patched to include this new model, but its not working for me. Are there any suggestions on how to cure this ...other than buy a better radio?

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-8800

Found an issue with CHIRP and the 8800. The radio has a left side and right side with 512 memories on each side, but the program only gives access to 500 each side. You cannot change the other 12 memories each. Can this be corrected? I have tried to update the range of memories, it doesn’t work. Thank you.

I was hoping there would be more interest in this nice little radio[1]. Both my dad and I have one and I would really like to be able to program it and I only run Linux at home. I'm also the current package maintainer for Fedora. I don't mind doing the leg work but I do need at least some guidance from a knowledgeable developer. Thanks, Richard KF5OIM [1] http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/313

[chirp_users] Fwd: ic-7100
by Andrew Damiano 01 Dec '17

I have used chirp on my baofeng and my kenwood with awesome results. I just got a icom 7100 and I am not able to get chirp to talk to it. I have tried different computers (both w10 if that matters) and different usb cables (the one that came with the radio and another I had). I installed the USB driver software from icom and when the radio is plugged in to either computer I see com4 and com5. When I tell chirp to read from radio on com4 and tell it the radio is an icom and to auto detect the model chrip sees that its an ic-7100 but I get 1 memory per second and the name is error. If I try to put something into the memory chirp comes back and says timeout error. I saw a bug report that someone posted about the ic-7100 saying their civ address was set wrong and the fix was to use 88h. Mine is set to 88h and it does not work. Does anyone have any tips/tricks/suggestions to help me get chirp to talk to my new ic-7100? Thanks.
