[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV8D Won't Open Squelch
by Joe Hobart 09 Apr '18

09 Apr '18

I still cannot get the Wouxun KG-UV8D to program properly. I have tried both Windows 10 and Linux versions of Chirp with similar results. This problem persists with three different radios. A possible clue: After programming the radio, I manually go to the R-DCS menu item and change D77I to OFF; that channel then immediately starts working and opens the squelch on receive. How do I tell Chirp to set R-DCS to OFF for all channels? Here are the first few channels from the CSV file: Location Name Frequency Duplex Offset Tone rToneFreq cToneFreq DtcsCode DtcsPolarity Mode TStep Skip 1 146.52 146.52 0 88.5 88.5 23 NN FM 5 2 446 446.6 - 5 88.5 88.5 23 NN FM 5 3 144.39 144.39 0 88.5 88.5 23 NN FM 5 4 144.01 145.01 0 88.5 88.5 23 NN FM 5 5 146.98 146.98 - 0.6 Tone 162.2 88.5 23 NN FM 5 One of the user group members suggested I post the file to the group. How do I do that??? I do not see any instructions about posting files. Thanks, Joe, W7LUX

Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R (3) Antennas

So far, all good advice. The long and short of it is, The long is 220. :) ---------- Original Message ---------- From: gene8348 <gene8348(a)gmail.com> To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Subject: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R (3) Antennas Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2018 18:10:02 -0400 Those antennas are marked at the bottom of the antenna where they screw into the radio. Look directly at the connector. They are different colors as well as being marked with the frequency range. One is 220, the other is 144 & 440. _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Nick at papanick(a)netzero.net To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com ____________________________________________________________ Royal Family Tragedy Unfolds risingstarnewspaper.com http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL3231/5aca1c09757da1c092e80st03duc

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R (3) Antennas
by Gary Ludwig 07 Apr '18

07 Apr '18

My Baofeng UV-5R is a three band HT that came with two antennas. There is no description of which antenna is used with which of the three band (2m., 1.25m., and 70 cm.) One antenna is just shy of 6.5' long and somewhat slim. The other is just over 41/4" and more stubby. I find the longer one works satisfactorily on both 2m. and 70 cm. which I use the most. But I would appreciate any input describing the proper designed and intended band use of each antenna. Gary (W8HT)

I could post the CSV, but I do not know how to do this. I sent the CSV file to your listed email address, but I have heard nothing back. How does one post a file? Thanks, Joe Not D'Arcy Cain nbv87 at hotmail.com Mon Apr 2 20:20:28 PDT 2018 Any chance you could export the image to csv and post it?

Thanks Jeff. I have looked closely, and I don't see any obvious problems in those columns. This is puzzling. Joe, W7LUX

[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV8D Won't Open Squelch
by Joe Hobart 02 Apr '18

Chirp appears to program the KG-UV8D (Chirp reports software version UV8DV1.05), but received signals will not open the squelch. I have to manually go to every channel in the radio and change either R-CTC or R-DCS before there is audio (the monitor button also works). Three of these radios behave the same. I have no other versions of Wouxan img files. Once I fiddle with the R-CTC or R-DCS settings the radios receive normally, but changing 100 channels in each of 3 radios would be tedious. Known history: These radios were purchased new, used for local communications, and retired with broken antennas. Chirp procedure using a recently updated Linux Mint version: There are no values visible in the Chirp spreadsheet for CTS or DCS. Download img file from Wouxan Delete old frequencies Add about 100 frequencies (copied from UV-5R file) Upload to same Wouxan What might I be doing wrong, and what can I do to correct this problem? Thanks, Joe, W7LUX

[chirp_users] Radioddity QB25 NOT QYT KT7900D
by W8RGB Gary 01 Apr '18

01 Apr '18

So I get one of those Radioddity QB25 radios. I was so glad to see that Chirp supports it! When I choose "Download from Radio," I can select Radioddity and QB25. When I select "OK," the display shows QYT and KT7900D the Radio Identification is successful about 1/3 through the 'cloning' this error occurs... Invalid header at block x1180 What is the process for programing this radio? Thank you! 73 Gary W8RGB

[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.
