I can download from my FT-60 into Chirp, but it will not upload to the radio. Error says communications failure. My FT-60 is in the ---RX--- mode. Any suggestions? Bert

Never mind. The latest version has seemed to correct the issue. Many thank to all that responded. 73 Ron-W8HBF Ron, Tell us: What operating system you are using. Windows XP, 7, 8, or 10, Mac, or Linux (Distribution). What Baofeng model you are using. What manufacturer of USB cable you are using. What CHIRP version are you running? Give us the full text of the error you are receiving and what you did immediately before receiving the error.

[chirp_users] Can’t get Chirp to Load
by Ken 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

I can’t seem to get Chirp to load into my Hp Envy laptop running Windows 10. After researching the Internet and this forum, I have found references to the config file that supposed to be located in the debug file. Well, neither of those two are in my Chirp program. Has anybody seen this problem before and if so, how is it fixed?? I hope I am not asking a question that has been addressed already but I haven’t seen it in here. Thanks.

[chirp_users] Got Two More Friends Up and Running with CHIRP
by Pat Anderson 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

My friends just got new Baofeng UV-5Rs. Steve is a Windows 10 guy and Don is a MacBook Pro guy running Mojave. They both managed to get the program installed on their respective computers and get their radios programmed. Steve bought the FTDI cable from Baofeng Tech and Windows 10 automatically installed the drivers when he plugged the cable in. No more trying to fool Windows into thinking an out-of-date driver is OK, because the genuine cable was barely more expensive than the counterfeit cables! I spent about an hour with them running over CHIRP basics, especially that you HAVE to download an image from the radio you want to program, edit it, save it, and then upload it back to the same radio from which it was downloaded. Don got his Mac going after I left, so I don't know if he in fact downloaded the Mac driver from mac-usb-serial.com I suggested or if Mojave likewise automatically installed drivers, as he had the authentic FTDI cable as well. I have a counterfeit Prolific, which works great on my Chromebook with Ubuntu, but I needed the purchased driver to get a serial port on my ancient MacBook Pro with High Sierra (it is too old and lame to run Mohave, so it limps along with High Sierra and a lot of spinning beach balls!). Anyway, two more fans in the CHIRP world!

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-450D
by Farren Constable 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

I'm not getting chirp to communicate with my Yaesu FT-450D and I'm suspecting it's a baud rate issue. My 450D is at the factory default of 4800 baud, and I don't know what chirp uses by default or how to change it's default. I have no problem changing the radio to match what chirp is expecting, but I'd rather not do it by trial-and-error.... So, can anyone tell me what baud rate chirp is using? Thanks! -Farren / KB0AZJ The Computer Shed Business Computer Services 785.747.8100

On Windows and Linux you can just install right over the previous installation. Someone said this isn't true on Mac computers, but I know it's true for Windows and Linux which I use. 73 David N1EA On Sun, Feb 10, 2019, 17:59 John LaMartina <JohnLa(a)usa.net> wrote: > Gentlemen, can I please suggest that the Subject Line of this thread be > changed from New Daily Build to something more closely related to the > discussion. > > As for the new version of CHIRP, no need to delete the old version of > CHIRP.

[chirp_users] Thanks to all

Gents, I recently joined this Chirp system and had a question pertaining to my issue of loading Chirp. I was having difficulty loading it. I must say, I received quite a few nice emails from GREAT folks on here trying to assist a complete stranger in this dilemma. This is great! I’m very, very much appreciative of this. I surely want to thank the administration of Chirp to allow for this “help” system to exist. Scott Sent from Windows Mail
