I'm saving this reply to my Kenwood notes, because I'm sure that I'll forget the answer by the next time I want to know. I interpret the answer to mean that I can screw up my radio with MCP, and can't with CHIRP? ~R~ On 2018-05-04 18:16:+0000, Tom Hayward wrote: >On Fri, May 4, 2018 at 3:55 AM Rich Messeder <<mailto:NE1EE@hotmail.com>NE1EE(a)hotmail.com> wrote: >I recall having problems with this, too (F6A, V71A).

Awkward. > > >MCP and live mode are two completely different protocols supported by the F6, V71, and D710. The reasoning for Chirp using live mode has been discussed here many times. Chiefly, in live mode, the radio has the ability to reject a channel as invalid. This is really valuable when you're relying on guessing the protocol specification, like Chirp does. MCP toggles bits on the radio without any validation, so you better know what you're doing when toggling something. The writers of the MCP software had the advantage of being able to reference Kenwood's internal protocol documentation. > >Tom KD7LXL

I have a new Baofeng BF-F8HP which isn't programming correctly. In the new radio the channel NAMES aren't being programmed, everything else seems to work... This is an improvement over the last version, which said INCORRECT VERSION.. when I tried to read the information from the radio.... Downloaded the new version today ... Help... 73's Dave Felt KB6ORR

To send a PL tone only and use carrier squelch you simply put Tone in the ToneMode Column. How do you send no tone but use a tone for squelch? Dennis M. Wage 245 Corum Hill Road Castalian Springs, TN 37031 (615) 310-4242 Cell (615) 562-5128 Home http://hammondb3organ.net http://overdubs.net

[chirp_users] Puxing PX-2R difficulties
by Dave B 12 May '18

12 May '18

Who's the maintainer for the Puxing PX-2R "driver", or where to ask questions about it? I still can't get any sensible outcome with one of these radio's and Chirp, though the cable itself is fine. (Not that there is much choice of available cables!) Regards. Dave G8KBV/G0WBX
