Most radios don't support this in their internal format, so within Chirp you can only enter comments on Chirp CSV files. Create one with File > New, then import and export channels from your radio imgs files.

Is there a way to add names or notes to a repeater (other than call sign) to more easily identify a stored repeater?

[chirp_users] Cannot connect UV-5RA with Mac
by Walter Scrivens 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Total N00B here - well not really, I was WA2HEP back in the 1960’s. Everything has changed! My son gave me a Boafeng UV5-RA transceiver and I’m trying to connect it with chirp using the Baofeng USB cable that came with the radio. I’ve installed several driver files recommended on different forums, the latest being the one recommended by Baofeng, the Prolific Technology driver. Here is an excerpt from the Mac System Report: USB-Serial Controller: Product ID: 0x2303 Vendor ID: 0x067b (Prolific Technology, Inc.) Version: 3.00 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc. Location ID: 0x14200000 / 9 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): 100 Extra Operating Current (mA): 0 chirp does not recognize this driver, in fact it only sees the Bluetooth driver. I do a lot of work with Arduino, and I know the USB ports work properly. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling chirp, but no joy, it just isn’t seeing the USB port. I’m using chirp-daily-20170714.app which seems to be the newest version on the website. I’m running OS X 11.3 (High Sierra). Any help would be welcome. Walt

Or just use Windows 10. The BF-F8HP is quickly recognized and programs easily.

[chirp_users] CHIRP App on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6
by Lee Davis 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

I'm a newbie... Just bought a BaoFeng BF-F8HP Two Way Radio and working on my Tech License. Reading some reviews before I bought it mentioned that the CHIRP/App and Programming cable wasn't working yet. So I held off on buying the Programming cable. Then after researching a bit more I found this: Application Security in 10.12+ As of 10.12 (Sierra) the UI for disabling app security was removed. The functionality is still there, but must be enabled from the command line. To whitelist a single application (like an unzipped chirp-daily.app): 1. unzip chirp.zip 2. control click on the unzipped application and select New Terminal at Folder. (Don't see that menu item? Instructions to enable it <https://lifehacker.com/launch-an-os-x-terminal-window-from-a-specific-folde…> ) 3. run this command in the newly opened terminal window: spctl --add $PWD Alternately, you can disable them for your entire system, although this has security implications that should not be ignored. Run this command in a terminal: sudo spctl --master-enable If I do the above will it work? If so... then I'll buy the Programming cable. Again... I'm new at this. Any tips on running the CHIRP App/CD and Programming cable with my above listed Mac OS?

[chirp_users] Kenwood TK-880H
by Will Mayberry 14 Sep '17

Greetings, I use CHIRP with my Baofeng UV-5R and TYT TH-9800, and it's a great tool. Thanks to all who've developed it! I now have a couple Kenwood TK-880H's that I'm using for 70cm Ham and GMRS (I'm licensed for both). What does it take to get the TK-880H added as a supported radio? I see it already supports the TK-860 family. I'm more than happy to loan a radio to help with development. Thanks, Will Mayberry [W7WBM (Ham) / WQYR402 (GMRS)] Fallon, NV

Not specofic enough What operating system? Is the cable driver installed without an issue. If you are using windows usualy down grading the driver to ver 3.2.0.0 solves many problems.
