[chirp_users] FT270R

Greetings Don, You mention that you are able to program your FT270 by selecting 160 in CHIRP; what cable are you using? I have an RTSystems USB cable but have no success using CHIRP to connect by selecting the FT 160. The message I get is either 'Radio did not respond' or 'Unable to load header' Any suggestions? 73's Eric VE7ECJ

Hello to the Group: I just rec'd a Baofeng UV-5R from China, and would like to request information on what the best programming software to use for it. I am hoping to find a program that is not too complex to install and get running. Thanks for your help. Kevin VE7WD

[chirp_users] No support for UV-82c in most recent versions?
by Daniel Humphries 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

I downloaded the daily build of CHIRP 20170414 and proceeded to connect my uv-82c, I didn't think much about the radio list only showing uv-82 and uv-82hp, but when I couldn't get my radio to connect I started to suspect I have a problem. I won't entirely discount the programming cable, but it's not a prolific chipset, it's a CP2102 and I've used it for programming other devices so I know it works, but I have not used this cable with CHIRP so I'm not sure if I have a communication issue, or a model support issue. I looked at the model support page and I can't find the C version as a supported radio. I looked through several of the old versions and couldn't find one that supports the UV-82C anywhere. What version do I need to install to program a UV-82C and where do I find it? Thanks, Daniel

Hello CHIRPers I have a Yaesu FT 270R and tried to program it via CHIRP...but it looks like this model is not covered. Any wizards out there that will be adding this model to the programming list in CHIRP in the not too distant future? 73's Eric

[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV8E
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 19 Apr '17

Hello CHIRPers. This Wouxun KG-UV8E is a wonderful radio. It's tri-band, nice. I've tried through two former radio officer friends who live in Hong Kong to get in touch with the engineer at Wouxun to see if he would provide CHIRP devs some info on their software control scheme. No luck, despite continued tries. I still have mine up for offer to loan and I have the programming software and cable. I'm almost going to either sell this or buy R/T software just so I can import from other radios. Anyone interested? 73 David N1EA

Hi, Looking for some guidance from the Linux gurus. Linux newbie here. I have zesty installed and I added the chirp repository from the install page. During updates I get a failed to fetch error. My chirp is from 1/24/2017. Of course my radio template is one of the newer ones so not in this version. It is in the latest windows build. How can I get an ubuntu update? Thanks Terry Sent from my iPhone

Hi Guys, I'm just wondering if anyone had any issues with the com port opting being blank when trying to upload or download a radio. I'm using a surface pro with only one post and it's supposed to be com port 3. Any help would be appreciated!
