[chirp_users] Bunch of questions - part two
by Al Jones 15 May '17

15 May '17

I should have noted this in my earlier post – mea culpa When he downloads from the Ubuntu repository he gets Chirp Daily 20160110 – well over a year old. When he downloads the tarball from danplanet using the directions there the first two commands complete, the third gives an error – I’m thinking that he doesn’t have python-serial (and possibly python-libxml2) can some kind soul tell me how to tell him that he needs then and how / where to get them? //al

[chirp_users] Aviation radio programming
by Stokes Smith 14 May '17

14 May '17

Has anyone used CHIRP to program aviation radios? I recently obtained a Yaesu VXA-200 and would like to use CHIRP as I use it for my Wouxon radio. The Yaesu software is not readily available. Thanks for all y'all do! Chirp is a fantastic program. Stokes

I have two laptops; both DELL. One is W-7, the other: W-10. CHIRP & Baofengs program nicely on the W-7; not the W-10, 'tho I'm not surprised. Thoughts?

I do not see the Yaesu FT-8100R listed as a supported radio. Will Chirp work with my FT-8100R ? Thank you. Alan AA6DW

[chirp_users] Programming a BTECH UV-50X2
by Bob DeFranco 12 May '17

12 May '17

I just ordered a BTECH UV-50X2 and was going to download the latest version of ChiRP to program it. Looking at the list of supported radios, however, I see the UV-50X3 and the UV-5001 (the predecessor to the UV-50X2) but not my radio. Which model should I select? I suppose I could just try different ones and see which works, but I worry about bricking the radio. Any advice? Bob DeFranco

[chirp_users] Jingtong JT-5988HP support
by Shon Edwards 08 May '17

08 May '17

I'm patient and I don't need the support myself any more, but this would be a wonderful radio to get CHIRP working with. I know a lot of people would appreciate it very much. I bought the radio from Amazon a couple of months ago. I had the cable and software. I tried everything. Nothing worked. To give you an idea of what is necessary to program this radio correctly, I'll outline the steps below even this may not be directly on topic. I'm hoping to show just how difficult this radio is to program, so hopefully we can get some CHIRP support soon.. It's the only 12/10W (no one is sure which it really is) radio (HT) I know of. Anyway, here's how I stumbled on a way to program it: 1. I searched google until I found: http://prepari.org/?page= 5988HP#review-JT5988HP.html. 2. Get the disc out that comes with the radio or click here: htpps:// amazon.com/jt-5988/JT-5988+High+Mid+Low.rar and get ready to copy a driver from it to your HDD. 3. Install the s/w. (it's better than the Chinese s/w for programming) 4. Watch the video on how to set up a com port: JT-5988HP-com-port-setup_ HTML-video.mp4. 5. Click on setup. 6. Click on communication port. 7. Select an available com port and number one will be deselected, then OK. 8. Put the Chinese disc in your drive that came with the radio. 9. Click on the subdirectory (folder): USB驱动. Then click on the folder labeled CH340. Find the executable file CH341SRE.exe. You can not run it from its current position because of all the Chinese characters in the path. Copy it to your hard drive and then run it. Install the driver. Click on OK. If you want to see that it's there, I'm tired of writing steps, but you get the picture. 73 de Shon K6QT Shon R.
