Its programming is not close enough to another Baofeng model for it be quickly added to CHIRP. You must use the factory programming software. It uses the UV-8 (not UV-82) programming software which is available on the Chinese radio manufacturer's website (www.baofengradio.com).

Pierre, Does this radio's buttons and menus talk at least as much as the UV5R?

[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)

Re: [chirp_users] TYT DMR Radios
by Tom Morris 08 Jun '18

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] chirp accessibility?
by Bartek 07 Jun '18

07 Jun '18

Hello, I have a question about the accessibility of the program for people using a screen reader. (e.g., NVDA). does anyone have any experience in this matter? I have pre-tested but the program is completely inaccessible. it's about windows10. I am looking for a software for a blind person to be able to program the radio myself. regards Bartek

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 07 Jun '18

07 Jun '18

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20180606 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #527 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix Jetstream 270MH offset and mode/power bugs The mode bit is elsewhere, and the power field is actually two bits. Also, the offset for the start of the alpha tags was wrong, causing the tags to be out of sync with the memory channels. #5865

My question is why the display on my cheap baofeng uv5r is displaying both +/- when it should display one or the other, depending. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Brian, AF8WX
