[chirp_users] Application Crashes in Mac
by John Laiosa 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

After some help from some folks on this users group I was able to get my Mac to recognized the the serial cable. However the problem I am having now is the application crashes after the upload from the radio is complete. I uploaded the latest version of Chirp(20170627) but that did not solved the problem. The Mac is running macOS Sierra version 10.12.5. Thanks for the help. John Laiosa N1BSO

<http:///>rtsystemsinc.com They are looking into what products they might be able to offer the DMR community but it is in the investigative stage. You're best bet for DMR support is a state support organization if your state has one. Some states are doing a better job than others. Other than that another good source is your local DMR community. 73, Gary - W6GVS Dowagiac, MI At 12:32 PM 8/29/2017, you wrote: >Content-Type: multipart/alternative; > boundary="----=_NextPart_000_03AF_01D320BA.7BC4D760" >Content-Language: en-us > >If Chirp does not support DMR such as Retevis RT82, do you know who >might.?

[chirp_users] Ft87 upload
by randy true 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

OK Chirpers, ran into a wall. I have an FT897 that has had the extended transmit, so I am using the NON US setting on the drop down. I can download fine. I downloaded the memories from the radio and saved that file, modified it and attempting to upload. Followed the onscreen instruction when attempting to upload.Tried all variations of clicking OK and pressing the A (RCV) bottom on the radio. Attempting all the above results in "An Error has occurred could not open comport 17,Error 5 Access is denied on screen And ERROR flashes on the radio. Something I have missed? Randy W4RTT

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Fred

[chirp_users] IC 7400 compatability
by j_spencer＠talktalk.net 29 Aug '17

29 Aug '17

Hi All,I hope this is not a stupid question but should my Icom 7400 (746 pro) work with chirp? The generic Icom 746 seems to be supported but I cannot get it to read my 7400. Do I need to use a work round? Any advice gratefully received. John.

I installed the latest daily build to my Mac (app.zip). I have a Uniden BC125AT and a Baofeng UV82HP. Can I program both radios with this CHIRP software? Jeff -- Sent from Gmail Mobile

Re: [chirp_users] Unable to write csv file
by Thom LaCosta 22 Aug '17

problem solved....chirp does NOT write the file to the disk unless you say overwrite the file and then save the file when you exit... seems to me once it writes to memory you should be asked if you want to save it....or the message should say something like "file mytestsetup.cvs has not been saved Do you want to save it now?" thanks for all the hints...

[chirp_users] Unable to write csv file
by Thom LaCosta 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

I'm using the latest daily build available on the website ... software recognizes my UV-5...and I can write to the radio. I've tried to export the radio setting to a csv file...both as a normal user and as administrator....chirp says the file exists, but it does not show up in windows. I've tried both the installer and zip versions of chirp-daily-20170714 I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong...but can't identify it. thanks thom k3hrn
