Glenn, You may have to short press the top right knob to set the right side as main band first before the squelch knob becomes active. Be blessed! May 2019 be our year of change & growth!

I tweaked the CSV file, at one point, Open Office took out all the values in the offset column, so I opened another file in Excel that was about the same, and I selected the column and copied it and switched over to the file in Open Office and pasted it in. Setting it to the defaults helped, because this time when I imported the file, I think, the VHF is on the left and the UHF is on the right. Not much UHF going on around here to be sure. I need to learn the buttons on the mic other than the number pad and I know the top switch locks some of the keys, including the two top ones. It's good to turn those off, as I find myself pressing keys on that thing just by holding it while punching a button. Anyway, thanks all for helping me get this far.

[chirp_users] Steps To reset the TYT TH-9800
by Glenn At Home 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

Hi, Before I re-upload my CSV file, that I edited with Open Office, I was wondering if anyone can send me the button steps to reset the radio to its defaults. I had read some reference to this in the manual, but of course it really did not indicate literally which button for the function key, and how many presses. With my poking around, and not knowing the buttons, I may have set some things in a way that I don't want. For example, it seems that all my channels are on the left, and I want them split, I don't know if the radio will do this automatically after I upload my CSV file, but at least I'll be starting with a clean slate. Thanks. Glenn Sent From My Tabletop

[chirp_users] more trouble with CSV file
by Glenn At Home 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

Hi All, Maybe someone can figure out what I did wrong in my CSV file. It was working, and I added a 10 meter repeater and two 6 meter repeaters and a 1.25 meter repeater. It says error on line 169, but it always seems to reference the last line. The lines in question would be between the left most numbers of 127 and 140. The repeaters on repeater.com only gave one tone, and I put in the others, the 6 & 10 m, just to keep the fields full. The one that was given was the 1.25 m repeater, I'll list that one below: 224.7600 -1.6 MHz 146.2 Omaha Thanks for any help. Sent From My Tabletop

[chirp_users] HELP with Yaesu FT-70DR issue writing banks to radio
by Robert Matos 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

I posted a question to the list a while back but didn’t get any responses (content below). Should I submit a bug request? The FAQ didn’t offer anything that could help and I don’t see anything in the documentation related to my radio about whether the bank support is in place so not sure if it’s a user error at this point. “ I am having trouble getting my bank selections to upload to the radio. My frequency memory entries and other settings carry over just fine, however the radio says “No Banks” even though I have entered memory positions into one or more banks in Chirp. This is using CHIRP daily-20190104 on Mac OSX." Best, Rob --------------- Rob Matos 617.302.7593 rfm8os(a)gmail.com

[chirp_users] CHIRP issue to "download from Radio"
by Christophe 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Hi there! Sorry to disturb you with a newbie's problem but FAQ doesn't help me at all, so I have first raise a BUG (#6379) on CHIRP website, but perhaps this is not the best option... I'm French, and I recently purchase an Baofeng UV-5R on aliexpress, and would like to use CHIRP to modify options, name and frequency of channels.After some difficulties with the cable's driver (with WINDOWS 7), this is now CHIRP that don't want to download the image from my !Even if I put the correct PORT, Vendor (Baofeng) and Model (UV-5R) result is always: "Incorrect 'Model' selected" (But I have an UV-5R!) I have check some parameters on the Radio if it could help:(Power+3) BF4816N(Power+6) 181016N / B5R0001 CHIRP version is the last one: chirp-daily-20190112 Could you help me understand what is the issue? USB Cables is working with the original Boafeng software (but CHIRP seems to be a best option to edit). Thank you very much for help. Christophe

How do I get extended debugging info from CHIRP. I finally was able to test my USB cable. My cable is fine. My Wouxun KG-UV8E works fine on Wouxun's Windows software, but does not work on CHIRP, either on Windows 10 or Arch Linux. I went back to the January 2018 daily build of CHIRP and used the module that is for the UV8D Plus kguv8dplus.py and it doesn't work. How can I help with this? Regards, David N1EA
