[chirp_users] BF-H8FP programming

Does anyone have experience programing this radio using the USB cable supplied with it? My biggest problem is that the software is looking for a com port connection. Is there any work around for this? Thanks.

[chirp_users] IC-92AD funnies
by Chuck Hast 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Folks, Decided that I would go through my 92AD, remove a few frequencies I do not use, add some and add my hotspot so I can try DStar on a hot spot. See a lot of strange things like reading 849 memories (should only go to 799) and one or other bank screens blank. Looked at the bug reports and see all off what I see (Thank you Winlock) so just out of a whim I look at the date of the code, says 20170714. I see that the latest and greatest 20180623. I have the snapshots ppa enabled but for some reason it is not pulling down the latest and greatest. Any ideas? I am running Ubunut Mate 18.04 -- Chirp + Editcp + MD380Tools on Linux Celestial!!!

You are incorrect.You may use Linux and it is fully accessible with the Orca screenreader.You don't need to learn a new operating system, Linux is more like Windows 7 than Windows 10 is.You can even get an ISO image to burn to DVD that boots up talking with Chirp ready to go.I don't use that, so others might be able to inform you on where to get it.I install Chirp onto Ubuntu 16.04 and use Orca.Glenn ----- Original Message -----From: BobJTo: Discussion of CHIRPSent: Wednesday, July 04, 2018 9:34 AMSubject: Re: [chirp_users] Chirp began ten years ago today...

Myjob was to bring those machines on line and then train and shepherd those folks in theinspections of the bottles. I had tons of overtime so I toddled down to HRO in PDX andgot me a 92AT. That was I think in late Aug 2008 or Sept. I know it had not started rainingyet and the weather was still good. It was one of the folks at HRO that aimed me yourdirection I believe it was. I did not know that the project was that new. I do not rememberwhen I downloaded the first code, but it worked on that 92AT (I still have it). By way I now live in Oklahoma, but I sure miss the NW...

[chirp_users] How to empty or null tone channel in Chirp?
by survivor＠cryptolab.net 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

When I use Chirp to set radio channels, there are many columns I cannot let empty, unless I cannot save it or uploat to radio. Most repeaters here have no subtone and I cannot let tone column empty, or null or zero. In chirp, there is a preseted tone list from 67.0 to 254.1. When I power on the transceiver in frequency mode and ajust to repeater channel, I can hear people talking normally. When I power on in channel mode and choose the respective channel with the same frequency, I cannot hear people talking. Pearhaps, tone values are wrong and in most cases they are unnecessary. How to I solve this? I have a Baofeng UV-82 WITH 8 Watts (HP). Firmware 3 KEY: N822413 6 KEY: 140902N TKS PU4YOU
