[chirp_users] I had a driver, then I lost it. (Mac OS issue)
by T.E. Klamberg Klamberg 01 Aug '18

I had installed the driver for a USB cable from Valley Enterprise for my Yaesu FT-60. Three installs and it (Mac) finally recognized the driver and cable. That was six months back. I acquired another cable for my Yaesu FT-29 2m radio. I must have got an OS update (High Sierra OS, version 10.13.6) that I cannot call up the drivers for either one (it should be only one driver upgrade). I haven’t even got to the part of trying to get Chirp to frustrate me! I know there are folks out there that have more computer smarts than I, especially when it comes to Mac. Anyone have any ideas, short of becoming a programmer? Thanks. Tip N9MVX Mascoutah, IL

[chirp_users] ft897

Chirp has suddenly stopped communicating with my 897. I have checked all com port settings in the program/computer/and radio All are OK. The 897 will still work with other programs on the same com port. Rebooted, no jot. Should I try and reset the radio? Randy W4RTT

I have an ICOM IC-V82 which works with the ICOM software for this radio. I'm using a new USB cable. I'm getting the error in the subject line when I try to download.

Hi, I got a few emails from people saying they want to stay on the CHIRP list. Did I miss an email asking people if they want to remain on it? I definitely do. I don't remember if I am signed up for reinstedts(a)gmail.com or emar(a)tcsn.net. I would like reinstedts(a)gmail.com to be the email I am subscribed with. Thanks for all that you do.

[chirp_users] Error writing file on installation
by Bill Taffe 26 Jul '18

26 Jul '18

I am trying to install the most recent CHIRP files and get an error. When I try to execute the installer file chirp-daily-20180707-installer.exe I get an error message "Error Opening File for Writing c:\ProgramFiles\(x86)CHIRP\_ctypes.pyd. Does anyone else get this message? Or is it a problem with my computer? I successfully installed and use version 20180707. Many thanks. 73 Bill Taffe KB1WJK

[chirp_users] Keeping Repeater setting
by AC1CX 24 Jul '18

24 Jul '18

The problem I have, and it was apparent in earlier versions but seems to be a serious issue with the most recent early July version. while programming when you move to the next line the settings for the PL tones on the previous line you just used change, whether or not you hit the save button; The most common setting reverting to is a PL tone of 88.5. Also does not want to keep settings when repeater use a stone instead of TSQL (A one-sided tone repeater). I am having great difficulty programming a B Tech hand held in 220.

[chirp_users] Having Trouble with Chirp and Windows 8
by Robert Smits 24 Jul '18

24 Jul '18

I've been having trouble getting Chirp to work with my Baofeng GT3 and a Windows 8 machine. Chirp just cannot read the usb port and the radio. I have tried a different cable (that ironically worked under Win 7) and this cable worked with a different radio (same model) and Win 10. The software I have installed is chirp-daily-20180707-installer.exe. When the cable is plugged in I can see the description in device manager. Some suggestions about where to go from here would be appreciated.
