[chirp_users] TYT DMR Radios
by Neil Stone 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] TYT TH-9800 Not Uploading, "no attribute 'setTimeout'"
by John Kemker 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

Hooked my new quad-band TH-9800 up to my Linux laptop, today. Used the cable supplied with the radio. Was able to download from the radio without a problem. After setting up all the repeaters, etc. I wanted, tried to upload. Received an error message that said: Failed to communicate with the radio.

Here is part of my CSV file for import. 40 CCWIV 146.82 - 0.6 TSQL 114.8 114.8 23 NN FM 5 S 41 67 67 23 NN FM 5 S 42 PORTA1 440.75 + 5 TSQL 107.2 107.2 23 NN FM 5 S When I import, I personally would rather have 41 replace what is currently in 41 As it stands if 41 has data in it, it leaves it alone. My work around is to delete every line in Chirp and then import. I often rearrange all 126 lines. Dennis M.

Re: [chirp_users] UV-5R issue
by Dave B 29 May '18

29 May '18

There are ways in Windows to fix a USB/Serial device's identity, so that it always shows up at the same COM number each time, or at known different (but predictable) ones depending on which USB hole you connect it to. For example, see the info here:- http://www.w1hkj.com/doku/doku.php?id=howto:taming_the_wild_comport_in_wind… As well as telling Windows 10 (if that's what you use) to allow applications to access to that port. Take care, ANY USB system re-enumeration (that happens when you plug in / power up an attached device, or unplug / power down a device) can cause a COM port to be re-assigned. Note too, that any USB hub's put in-between the PC and device, makes it a whole new ball game. Under Linux, look up how to use "udev rules", where so long as the USB device has something unique about it's identity (a serial number for example) a similar trick can be done. Note though, many Prolific (and clone) devices do not have any unique identity compared to many of their brethren! FTDI devices usually have a unique per-device serial number string somewhere. I only have one SiLab's device, so can't say about them. At http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm There are two links of interest. # Microsoft USBView <http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm#MicrosoftUSBView> # Linux USBView <http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm#USBViewLinux> Follow the one for your type of OS and you'll be able to see the device information to understand what's going on. The linux version will need compiling, but is well worth having, though you do also need to run it via sudo so it has the rights to read the needed info from the system. (I believe it can be built on MAC's too, but have no first hand knowledge re that OS.) 73.

[chirp_users] Yaesu C4FM radios

Is there any hope that the YAESU C4FM radios such as FT2DR FTM400DR FTM100DR FTM3200DR will ever be included in the CHIRP compatible radios? Right now we are stuck with paying RTSystems an outrageous price for a produce that is far inferior to CHIRP. -- *************************************************************** mike.ligeza(a)gmail.com VE3UIL Smiths Falls, ON

This will sound stupid but I have to ask. How do I print the chrip list I've created for my radio? There are no tabs and I've tried the "control P" move but nothing happens. HELP! 73' Bob WB3DYE

This radio was programmed with Chirp over a year ago. It has and is working correctly. However, I would like to change some parameters. Clicked Download from radio,did the ok windows and the cloning window took only seconds to finish. However none of the freqs or other info showed on the spreadsheet columns. Any help greatly appreciated. -- Sarge KE5YPB, Lickskillet, Texas "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
