Re: [chirp_users] setting up the (B) display in a uv-5ra
by Steve 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

Hi chirp_users. I have a Baofeng UV-5RA HT. I am trying to reset up the HT the way it was after #40 (factory reset) in the HT's menu was hit. I remember most of the layout of the HT's memory when I looked at it via Chirp, but I never saved it. The layout as I remember starts at memory ch 1. From ch 1 to about ch 30 was filled with ham repeater frequencys and simples ch's. all on the (A, top display). Then there was about 20 blank ch's. The 21st ch had FRS1 on the 21st memory ch and so on. I don;t know how to setup the 21st memory ch to on the (B) lower display FRS1 and to rx/tx to the other FRS ht's that I have.

Found a really weird bug on my UV5R today by accident. If you have one, try it and see if yours does the same thing. Press and hold PTT. While holding PTT push 1 on the keypad and hold for 5 seconds. This of course sends DTMF #1. If you release the PTT while still holding the 1 button, the radio stays in transmit mode with the microphone on even though the display says it's back in receive mode. I found no way to stop the transmission except to turn off the radio. Dennis M.

Hi everyone, I wanted to program a new frequency in my transceiver but I now get an error message when I look at COM4 in device manager...it reads...PL2303HXA PHASED OUT SINCE 2012 PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SUPPLIER. I have re installed Prolific USB to serial Adaptor driver version 3.3.2.102 which show up correctly in Device Manager until I connect my cable to the pc USB port. I have used the programming software and generic cable successfully prior to the latest version of CHIRP. Can anyone advise me for a fix. Thanking you in advance. Tony Argentino

[chirp_users] 64-bit Python.app for macOS 10.15 Catalina
by Jeff Zarge - K3JRZ 09 Oct '19

09 Oct '19

Will there be a 64-bit version of the Python app in the KK7DS Python runtime or should Mac users just update the version of Python that they're running on their own to keep Chirp working when updating to macOS 10.15? Thanks & 73, Jeff K3JRZ https://www.qrz.com/db/K3JRZ 100WAAW <http://100wattsandawire.com/thegathering/> #404

Re: [chirp_users] Can't get a Redmine account created
by JOCK SOUTAR 06 Oct '19

There is no password for CHIRP. I'm not sure why they ask for one but there is no such animal. Just contact their support team and ask you questions. They are volunteers so dot expect an immediate reply. Allow at least 1 weeks time.

I seem to have an account, but I can't log in. I figured it must be a problem with my password, so I try to reset it and log in, but that fails. Reproducing the error: 1. Go to https://chirp.danplanet.com/login and fill out the "Login" and "Password" fields, click "Login" button. 2. Get a red box that says "Invalid user or password". 3. Click the link for "Lost password", fill out my email address and click "Submit". 4. Open the email that arrives and click the forgot password link. Enter a new password in the form and confirm it. 5. Try the log in again with the newly-updated password. Expected behavior: I am able to log in to create issues, etc. Actual behavior: I instead still once again get the red box that says "Invalid user or password". Is there any known issue with the system or any way to troubleshoot what might be wrong my account? Of note, the "lost password' feature doesn't seem to work unless the system actually knows my email address, other email addresses that aren't registered get an error message. So I know I'm in there to some extent.... 73, Michael N2UN _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Jock at kc6iih(a)aol.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com
