[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] TSQL / CTCSS
by Dennis Wage 31 Mar '18

31 Mar '18

I have no where else to ask this question. Is TSQL the same as CTCSS? The reason I am so intrigued is about this is The other day my UV-5R was in scan mode and a repeater in Huntsville continually stopped my scan with a carrier or tone, not sure which yet. But I heard no audio. No matter where I set the squelch, even to 0 I got no audio. However, if I hit the Moni button I could hear the guys talking. What was happening here? Thanks in advance. In 3 weeks I'll be W9BOQ if the FCC grants my vanity call sign. Whiskey Niner Bravo Oscar Quebec. Dennis M.

Re: [chirp_users] What did I do wrong? Bricked TH-9800

I have not performed the smoke test on mine yet. I usually leave the cable in it. I use it as a base so no reason to take the cable out. I had the thought that there is a possibility when you tried to plug it in, it might have been reversed? regards, K7NQB ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Tom Henderson <Tom(a)Henderson4.us> To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: [chirp_users] What did I do wrong? Bricked TH-9800 Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2018 07:45:12 -0500 So I let the smoke out of my TYT TH-9800 when connecting it to program using CHIRP. I had previously programmed it with CHIRP with no problems. However, this time I wasn't paying attention and left the radio on when I plugged in the USB cable. It instantly shut down and there was a wisp of smoke from the back of the radio.

by Barry Molkentin 28 Mar '18

Hi I'm having trouble getting my computer to talk to my radio. Have tried another chip in the cloning cable but no luck So does Chirp have a programme to suit my radio (Zastone ZT D9000) or can I use another "radio" to trick it into working mode. The error message I get is; "did not except programme MODE" Thanks for any help Barry

[chirp_users] Is repeaterbook import broken?
by Nolan Darilek 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Was entering the 40+ Travis County, TX repeaters by hand from repeaterbook, and happened to discover that Chirp supports import. Unfortunately, when I use the political region import feature, select Texas, Travis County, 2M band, I get a bunch of channels with no data and the frequency set to 0.00. Am I doing this incorrectly or is the feature no longer working? Thanks.

I am a newbie programming a UV-5r2+ using CHIRP. Could you help me with how to fill in the fields in CHIRP? I am going on a week long backcountry ski trip in British Columbia. The operation area radio frequency given to me is attached below. How do fill in the fields correctly listed in the screen shot of CHIRP below? Or do I not have enough information? I can’t figure out how to get the RX 170.100 and TX 169.110 on the same memory channel. Then I am not sure if I am entering the tone correctly? Thank you!
