[chirp_users] A digitized audio link called Chirp
by David Ranch 06 Feb '17

06 Feb '17

Just a heads up but I just saw this on the Fldigi group. No doubt, naming a product is difficult and an available name can be hard but these guys obviously didn't even try. A Google search for "chip" yields four of the top ten listings. --David KI6ZHD -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [linuxham] A digitized audio link called Chirp Date: Sat, 4 Feb 2017 13:23:13 -0500 From: Reply-To: linuxham(a)groups.io To: linuxham(a)groups.io Not to confuse anyone but in addition to the free rig control app "Chirp" here now comes a digital audio link by the same name. https://www.newark.com/chirp-io-interview-internet-of-sound?COM=referral-ha… This looks interesting and it triggered the wanna-be Ham-MacGuyver in me. What if you could set any rig into vox mode and via mic & speaker hands-free QSO digi-mode from your Smartphone? (Or CW via Smartphone of Chirp-connected keyboard, or text-to-voice from the same?) What if you wanted to use the PA system in a park, stadium, function hall, EOC, field command post, Field Day, Hamfest, etc. to deliver digitized info to Smartphones (or other properly equipped devices with a microphone) - without the hassle of Bluetooth or Wifi linking? Interesting possibilities ... 73, DavidC KD4E

[chirp_users] Has anyone successfully programmed a Kenwood TM-D700 with Chirp?
by Rich Holtman 06 Feb '17

1) Has anyone successfully programmed a Kenwood TM-D700 with Chirp? 2) What cable did you use? 3) Does that cable connect to the 9-pin RS-232 on the radio, or the 6-pin mini DIN connector? Thank you, Rich Holtman KD9ANU

[chirp_users] Continued Trouble with Baofeng
by donieallen1971＠yahoo.com 05 Feb '17

05 Feb '17

I appreciate the advice from evetyone. I have tried making the programming changes to my UV-5RA. Unfortunately for me, I still have not been able to pick up anything. First, I setup channel 1 with the following settings for my local First Responders. Freq = 453.575000Tone Mode = TotalTone = 233.6Mode = NFM Second, I tried to setup channel 2 to our local repeater freq., which is 224.8000 with a "-" setting. But I receive the following error message: Error settingmemory: Frequency 224.800000 is out of supported range.Tx Freq 223.200000 is out of supported range As I have stated, I am new to programming scanners and I'm not sure what to do from here.

Many ideas here that could solve your problem. Also, check to see if you enabled a tone squelch option that would not pass the audio unless the proper tone/code is set. For just plain reception, you would not need this..

Re: [chirp_users] Older Yaesu Radios
by Kenneth Strom VA3KRS 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

Just to let everyone know, if you do find an older Yaesu without the FTS-17A CTCSS Tone Board (long unavailable) they are being remanufactured in China, for around $25.00 USD shipped. The same one used in Mobiles and HTs, it was an (expensive) option as few Repeaters used it at the time 20 years ago, most having just switched over from AM to FM Mode and most Ham radios were converted single-channel Crystal radios. Rather expensive to change Channels at around $30.00/pair. No 1.000-channel radios existed then...

Re: [chirp_users] Yaesu FT-1802M Mobile Radio
by Kenneth Strom VA3KRS 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

Regarding the Yaesu FT-1802M, the "M" merely stands for Mobile radio. There may be a difference in the Euro version to the North American one, although usually there is a "E" after the Model name (for European Version). The "A" versions are for the Americas as we have a wider VHF section, same as UHF. I own a FT-3000M which is slightly different in specifications, both being High-Power VHF radios, yours is 50W, mine 65W output. The Euro versions will only TX 144-146 MHz, ours to 148 MHz, and the wide-band modification is quite simple. If you live out in the Countryside, the higher TX output you will really appreciate, just make sure your antenna will handle it and use a 5/8, and please due to the power wire it directly to your Battery or PS. The Official Yaesu Website has all the details on this Radio.

When I try to read the radio it does not identify the model number correctly. It sees that the radio is a Yaesu but the wrong one. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us> Date: 02/03/2017 1:18 AM (GMT-05:00) To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Subject: Re: [chirp_users] difference between FT-1802 and FT-1802M???? If you have an FT-1802, give it a try with Chirp's FT-1802M driver. I wrote it and I only had an FT-1802M to test it with. I can't tell you if the FT-1802 is any different because I've never touched one. They could be exactly the same. What I would do to test it is manually enter a few memory channels in the FT-1802. Then download into Chirp and make sure those channels are where they're supposed to be (channel 1 is channel 1, etc.) and that all the frequencies and tones are correct. If it all looks good then there's probably no change to the memory layout between FT-1802 and FT-1802M.
