I order a new cable that I was told to make sure it has the FTDI. I don't know what that means but I am willing to give it a shot & will let you know if it worked or not... Thanks for all the help. Ronald

Just an idea. When I moved to where I live now I had no idea as to the frequencies in use so I went to a local ham club and found someone who kept an up to date list of frequencies and was nice enough to give me a copy. Maybe you can check around in your area and have similar luck.

Search and Rescue in my area doesn't use any ham frequencies, just frequencies between 136-174mhz. I have 128 channels in my kenwood tk-2170 that includes a 5 county area. I'm probably looking at months to figure it out. The kenwood shows None in the QT/DQT Dec, so I don't know if I should leave the Tone to the default of 88.5. Tedious typing as I only have 17 of the 128 keyed so far and looks like I'll have to change some when I figure what might work. thx,-jm From: "Jim Unroe" <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com> To: "Chirp" <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Sent: Sunday, April 2, 2017 4:24:11 PM Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Fwd: baofeng 82c On Sun, Apr 2, 2017 at 6:57 PM, Jim McIver <jmciver(a)lmtribune.com> wrote: > Ok.

TSQL is used to TX with a particular CTCSS tone and to RX with the same CTCSS tone. You never need to have a tone to RX so you can receive just fine using setting Tone Mode to Tone and setting the Tone column to the desired CTCSS tone. If you program a RX tone and the other station does not transmit the matching (on none at all as in the case for many ham repeaters), you will never hear anything. None always works.

Hi jm, On Windows there is a Windows tool called snippet. You can use it to select as small a region of the display as you want. I imagine the result would be about 10K if you can use it. 73 ~R~ NE1EE On 2017-04-02 15:19:-0700, Jim McIver wrote: >Tried leaving a blank row in chirp, but I loaded to radio, it just moved row below up into blank.

[chirp_users] Fwd: baofeng 82c
by Jim McIver 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

Purchased a baofeng uv-82c as a backup for my kenwood tk-2170. Chirp won't read the tk-2170 so I am trying to match columns from kenwood program to chirp and don't know what goes where. Where can I get help to make the baofeng work? Attached is what I'm up against. Yes, I've read through all I can find about the baofeng, but lack the knowledge to know all the terminology. Is there a cross reference from kenwood columns to chirp columns? I think I have rows 0 through 6 correct, but now sure about 7 through 10. That's as far as I've gotten. The rest of the rows came from someone's not in my area. Q? how can I leave a blank line in the chirp? Q? Does kenwood QT/DQT Enc go into Chirp ToneSql? Q? How do I know if TSQL is correct Tone Mode in Chirp or should I be using something else in this column? Q? Where do I put the 203.5 from kenwood QT/DQT Dec & QT/DQT Enc in Chirp? thx, -Jim McIver

[chirp_users] FT-897 VFO fields
by k7wxw 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

Downloading the memory from the FT-897 reveals a number of fields that appear to determine the VFO frequency and operating mode for each band when the band switch is used. That is, the band switch cycles through this list of memories to determine the frequency, mode, and frequency step in HF and that plus the tone and offset in VHF and UHF. There are also memories for the HOME frequencies. Can CHIRP be used to set these memories, reliably? Does anyone know if the band switch will behave erratically if these fields are changed? 73 de Bill K7WXW _____________ wag more, bark less.

[chirp_users] Baofeng GT-3
by ve3zxs＠gmail.com 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

Cannot seem to get the connection to this GT-3. I can connect to the uv-5r and the GT-3TP but the straight doesn't seem to connect. When I connect and use the BF-F8HP as it has the GT-3 listed below it on the website it tell me that it is not the correct model. Does the GT-3 need a separate driver for this radio? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you 73 Sent from my iPhone

Re: [chirp_users] New User Guide for Baofeng UV 82L

Craig, For the longest time, the only way I knew how to program my UV-82, was using CHIRP. The first video below lifted my blinders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrG0El1KkIM I didn't have to much to start using CHIRP, other than roll back to a previous version of the driver, as advised on MILKOR, but the video below may help you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwcgBDI3vTo Hope that helps you get going. -baji. ~~ K 8 I I T _ On Sat, Apr 1, 2017 at 7:14 AM, Craig Kalsa wrote: Hello - I am new to ham radio and studying for my license as a casual user > / prepper.
