[chirp_users] TYT DMR Radios
by Neil Stone 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

Good morning and happy new year all, I was wondering if there were any plans to add functionality to chirp to support the TYT DMR radios, such as their MD-2017 (...so last year) or MD-380 for example? That's all for now, 73 Neil (M6LPI)

The TYT cable is just a straight through cable. CHIRP would need a lot of functionality added to support dmr. First, the radio is like a "model 3" Motorola in that you need a zone/channel assignment. You'd need to implement this to use analog only. Then, to do dmr, you need timeslot, color code, and contacts. For each channel it will need an individual or group contact set, as well as an optional RX group list. You'll need to have the ability to edit the contacts and group lists. Not by any means saying it's impossible but it would be a big chunk of architecture to add to a package that only implements analog for the time being.

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-6 "refused to send second block 0x1ec0"
by Charley Bratton 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

While attempting to run the initial download for a group of new recently received Baofeng UV-6 radios, all are responding with “radio refused to send second block 0x1ec0” right at the tail end of the download... I’m using the most recent CHIRP build for Mac. I’ve attempted multiple Macs, no difference. I’ve attempted older 2017 versions of CHIRP, no difference. The cable I’m using works for other Baofengs, including UV-6 units we purchased 5 months ago, just not these particular UV-6 units. These units are clearly labeled UV-6 (not UV-6R). Tried the UV-6R setting just in case, but the download didn’t start. Any suggestions? -Charley KE4QBW

[chirp_users] Trouble with iOS 10.13.3
by Scott Brady 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

Hello, I have been trying in vain to get my radio to talk with CHIRP on my Macbook Pro running 10.13.3. I have downloaded and installed the latest cable drivers and the latest CHIRP build. I have verified that the cable is recognized, but when I try to download from the radio, even with the correct radio (UV-5RV2+) and port (/dev/cu.usbserial), it simply hangs and says that the radio did not respond. All of the software works great on my PC, but I have been trying to get the Mac version to work for a long time with no luck. I have scanned countless forums and mail lists, but I have yet to find a solution. The cable I have is a Baofeng cable (it says Baofeng right on it), so I assume that this is not a cheap junk cable. I have attached the debug log below. Can anyone help please!!

[chirp_users] Alinco Cable Experience?
by Brandon Clark 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Hello group, I'm probably going to be purchasing an Alinco DJ-G7 soon, and I was wondering if the Alinco brand cable (part # ERW-7) works with Chirp? Has anyone used it before? The instructions for it indicate that it uses an FTDI driver, so I would think it has a genuine FTDI chip in it. 73, Brandon
