I have some software and cables from RTsystems and I have used their cables for many years and have never had any problems with them. Jock. KC6IIH On Friday, July 26, 2019 Nigel A.

The process finished, the radio went back to CLONE, but Chirp returned a checksum error. Chirp does not display any radio data after the failure.

[chirp_users] Programming Baofeng UV-9
by William Thompson 24 Jul '19

24 Jul '19

I'm helping a group program their new radios. They have Baofeng UV-9, not 9R, but UV-9. There are no manufacture labels except in the battery compartment. It appears to be a UV-5R variant as it incorporates the Kenwood standard 2-pin plug and a 5R spkr-mic works with the radio. I'm using the same cable that I use with my 5R but the radio fails to respond to Chirp no matter what radio model I use in the Baofeng and BTECH listings. Is there a preferred for this radio. By the way, it doesn't show a firmware version on power-up. 73, William

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-82HP Programming Issues (MacOS Mojave 10.14.5)
by Brennan Stanford 24 Jul '19

24 Jul '19

I am having issues using CHIRP to program my brand new Baofeng UV-82HP. I have an FTDI cable and am using a Mac (MacOS Mojave 10.14.5) and CHIRP 7.13.2019. I have zero problems with downloading from and programming to my BF-F8HP, but the UV-82HP will not work. Every time I connect to the radio and attempt to do the original image download, the radio restarts itself, and then CHIRP then gives me “Radio did not respond” error. Brennan J.

[chirp_users] Can't Upload to BTech VV-5X3
by Dave Hartman 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

I don't know if this is a Chirp issue or a winDOZE 10 issue. Back in March 2019 things worked great. Today 7/21/19 I downloaded the chirp-daily-20190718-installer.exe and attempted to install it. I got several unable to write file errors. So I downloaded it again and tried to install again but with the same problem. So I uninstalled it, and installed the chirp-daily-20190319-installer which had worked just fine last last March. Again no joy. With either version I can download from the radio without issue but just can't upload to it. Next I'm going to uninstall it again, using Revo Uninstaller reboot my machine, and try it again with my Wouxun KG-UVD1P. If anyone has had this problem, please let me know how you solved it.

This is needed for the tk8180 driver, which requires more tight coupling between the parent instance and the instances of the sub_device instances. Related to #743 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add memmap compatibility with py3 branch This merely adds an interface for MemoryMapBytes to memmap so that code that works on both branches can reference the byte-clean variant here.

[chirp_users] Kenwood TM-V7A problem
by William Mooney 13 Jul '19

13 Jul '19

I have a Kenwood TM-V7A connected to a Mac Mini running OS X Mojave 10.14.5. The cable has a FT232R USB UART chip. I downloaded the latest driver from FTDI and the latest Daily Build. The computer sees the cable, but CHIRP does not. Download from radio says no file. All was working fine before the Mojave upgrade. Help? Bill sends.

A gross hack for now, which will make this driver unavailable in the MacOS build currently, but this is the easiest solution to the much larger problem of not being runnable at all.

[chirp_users] TYT UV8000D marked closed but not in daily
by Jeff 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

I saw on 7/3 the UV8000D/E drivers were marked completed and a daily build was made the same day however no drivers were pushed to source control. Possible mix up on status? Or code not pushed?
