[chirp_users] QYT KT8900 startup channels
by Tycen Stafford 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Radio: QYT KT8900 (no "D" - just the KT8900) CHIRP Version: daily-20181018 (latest I believe) OS: macOS 10.13.6 (but shouldn't matter in this case) In CHIRP, under Settings > Work Mode Settings you are able to specify "MR A channel" and "MR B channel" as the default channels your radio starts on (assuming the VFO/MR mode is set to Channel). This has worked for me previously - but a while ago something changed. I don't have an exact timeline - in the last 6 months or less I believe. Screenshot for reference: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mt458zbn8t8zx74/Screenshot%202018-11-13%2010.34.1… MR A channel setting is still "respected", but no matter what I put in MR B channel the radio starts up on channel 1. I tried changing it to other channels (and saving then uploading) multiple times but there is no change. When I change MR A it gets applied, but not MR B. Any ideas? I went back and grabbed the oldest .img file I had (from May) and it is still happening, so I don't think it's an issue with the image file. Anyone with a QYT KT8900 that can test this as well? Thanks!

Device Manager in windows, Com ports, unplug and plug in your radio cable…whichever one goes away and comes back is the “port.” Generally a “Prolific 2303…COMX,” but could be CH340, FTDI, etc… Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2018 1:04 PM To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: chirp_users Digest, Vol 119, Issue 13 Send chirp_users mailing list submissions to chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com You can reach the person managing the list at chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of chirp_users digest..."

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-70D Programming issues
by royord 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Bottom Line: Frequency off just enough to be annoying. I programmed my NEW FT-70D using chirp and had issues with the frequency being slightly off. More detail to come, I hope that the community has a good/quick solution. Maybe the issue was with my tuning steps. Version 20181018 Daily Version Thanks, Roy

Re: [chirp_users] New MacBook Pro Issue (Phillip C)chirp_users Digest, Vol 119, Issue 4
by Christopher F. Beesley 13 Nov '18

Hi Phillip, Chris here. I don't know anything about Apples so I might be wrong... If you've only got Bluetooth in a Connect menu then doesn't that mean that no hardware (wired) ports are currently available for data Tx/Rx? Assuming that a USB connector is available for data Tx/Rx (and not just for charging) then it might need enabling via a setting before it will appear on the Connect menu. Alternatively, the Connect menu might be specific to Bluetooth only. Perhaps there is another menu for USB functions. 73, Chris ________________________________ From: chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> on behalf of chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Sent: 08 November 2018 20:00 To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: chirp_users Digest, Vol 119, Issue 4 Send chirp_users mailing list submissions to chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com You can reach the person managing the list at chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of chirp_users digest..."

Now I have the MacBook Pro 2018 with USB-C. -I have the Apple supplied FTDI drive & no others. -Only bluetooth shows up in the connect menu -I also am using a new Baofeng. I used to have the UV-5R but now I?m using a BF-F9HP which I understand is supposed to be a UV-5R variant. Do I select UV-5R or BF-F8 in the menu? Can anyone provide a starting point?
