[chirp_users] UV-5RIII Programming issue
by NT4K JC 17 Aug '19

17 Aug '19

New to this list and having a problem programming my UV-5RIII - Tri-band BaoFeng, 2m/1.25cm/70cm. I downloaded the latest version of Chirp and did a download from the radio for a template. When entering a 1.25cm frequency I receive a pop-up. (Error setting memory: Frequency 224.820000 is out of supported range, Tx freq 223.220000 is out of supported range.) The radio had a few 220MHz frequencies preprogrammed in memory. Chirp will not let me change one of them to my desired frequencies. When using a new, default template I receive the same error. I've tried importing the desired frequencies from a .csv file to an .img file and get the same error. It's possible Chirp is not recognizing the radio. The UV-5RIII is not listed as a UV5R variant. Although, the Chirp software settings downloaded from the radio indicate the "VHF Lower limit: 136Mhz" and the "VHF Upper limit: 260MHz" Never had an issue with other UV-5R or the UV-82X Any help is appreciated. Thanks 73 NT4K JC Pluto 1930 - 2006. Orbit in Peace,

[chirp_users] DPL data from Motorola into Baofeng UV5R
by Clark W. Nicholls 15 Aug '19

15 Aug '19

I have 10 channels from a Motorola SP50 I would like to program into my UV5r (and other radios) using CHIRP I don't see where to input DPL other than perhaps DTCS as it has the 205 number I'm looking for in the pull down menu. In which case, what do I choose for the DTCS Pol field? NN shows up by default. In the Motorola, 205 was the DPL for both transmit and receive. I have the frequencies from the radios I read using the SP50 Motorola software. Clark Clark W. Nicholls "Reality, it's not what you think."

[chirp_users] CHIRP on macOS Catalina?
by The Mighty Sashiman 12 Aug '19

12 Aug '19

Hi all, Have any of you managed to run chirp on macOS Catalina (currently 10.15 Beta (19A526h)) ? On top of not managing to run the app by simply double-clicking on the app file nor doing "open /Applications/chirp-daily-20190718.app" which spits out : > LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Applications/chirp-daily-20190718.app. Running /Applications/chirp-daily-20190718.app/Contents/MacOS/chirp also fails : > /Applications/chirp-daily-20190718.app/Contents/MacOS/chirp: line 19: /Applications/chirp-daily-20190718.app/Contents/MacOS/../CHIRP: Bad CPU type in executable > /Applications/chirp-daily-20190718.app/Contents/MacOS/chirp: line 19: /Applications/chirp-daily-20190718.app/Contents/MacOS/../CHIRP: Undefined error: 0 I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that macOS Catalina is killing support for 32bit apps. Can anyone please confirm / help out ? Many thanks in advance Kind Regard, The Mighty Sashiman

Python 2 components are being removed from Fedora Rawhide (future f31 release) and Chirp is no longer installable. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1737641 How close is python 3 compatibility? Thanks, Richard KF5OIM

[chirp_users] Help with linux
by Monte Long 01 Aug '19

01 Aug '19

I need some help! I recently switched a laptop to Xubuntu. I've downloaded chirp and ran the command to update and to add the daily build. However, when I open Chirp under the linux OS, there are a bunch of radios that don't show up. For example, it doesn't list Radioddity as a manufacturer, the Wouxun KG-UV8D plus isn't available, nor is the TYT UV8000. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks! Monte
