Does CHIRP allow programming of single menu options such as the text of the power on message (PONMSG)? Is there a list of programmable items? Thanks,Mark

[chirp_users] New User Guide for Baofeng UV 82L
by Craig Kalsa 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

Hello - I am new to ham radio and studying for my license as a casual user / prepper. I have 2 new 82Ls and have spent a great deal of time trying to find a video on YouTube that can get me up and running in the 28205 / Charlotte area. So far, I have been in Miklor and CHIRP but can't figure out how to find, program and enjoy my radio. I have loaded the correct cable drivers, downloaded my factory image and have found various lists of pubic safety and amateur frequencies; even donated to CHRIP. I want to listen, scan and use as two-way while camping. Is there a good reference, video or otherwise that can help get me up and running? Regards, Craig

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20170401 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #474 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Fix radio drivers with invalid tuning step lists. #4689 New step list sources: IC-V82/U82: manual VX-5: radio menu VX-7: manual [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] [THD72] Fix PEP8 regression from #1611. [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] For radios without tuning steps, test 10 KHz down from the edge. #4689 This should be compatible with virtually any radio. [SASANO Takayoshi <uaa(a)mx5.nisiq.net>] Add IC-P7 support. This is Japanese model of IC-P7A, ticket New Model #1947. I hope IC-P7A/IC-E7 will work. Supported features * Regular Memory (CH 0 to 999) editing - Bank settings (Bank, Bank Index, Bank Name) - DTCS settings (DTCS code, DTCS polarity) - Frequency (0.495000-999.990000MHz), Mode, Offset, Tuning step settings - Memory Name setting - CTCSS tone setting (Tone, TSQL) Not supported features: * Train SQL setting in memory * Common radio settings (Beep, Display, Bank Link, RF power, etc...) * Scan Edge CH, Auto Write CH, TV CH, CALL CH editing [Dale Tyler <chirp16(a)tylerent.com>] [ft857] FIx exception due to wrong data type Fixes #4239 Fixes a problem with dig_disp (Menu 036) and dig_shift (Menu 039) where the entered value would be mutiplied by 256 and thus would likely cause an exception due to a range error. For example, a value of 30 would be interpreted (incorrectly) as 768 which is out of the acceptable range -300 <= x <= 300. [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] [UV-B5] Revert TX inhibit feature, because the trick only works on b-band. #837 On a-band, this TX inhibit trick casues the radio to transmit spurious emissions on multiple frequencies.
