[chirp_users] FT 857 upload problem
by John Houlihan 13 Dec '20

13 Dec '20

Greetings all, Using version Daily - 20201014. Linux Ubuntu Mate V 20.04. CAT - USB lead. Cat speed to 9600. Image file of radio saved if required. With FT817ND download and upload OK. With FT857D download OK. Carried out widebanding by solder jumper method. Memory image file upload fails, reports 'radio did not ack block 0'. Connections and lead seem good, FLRig controls the 857 OK. Original Yaesu CAT62 lead tried with serial to USB adapter, no change. Chirp bug 3081 of 2015 similar case but resolved by sender, no details. Any help appreciated. John G4BLJ

I have a 2016 version of chirp installed on a windows vista pc. If I try to run the installer for the new version, I get several file errors and have to abort. Do I need to remove the old version first. My old chirp version tried to upgrade on its own but nothing happened? Sent from my iPhone

[chirp_users] New to ham radios
by James Walker 11 Dec '20

Good morning, I bought a set of Baofeng UV-82hp radios a few weeks ago since than I have not been able to program them. I tried two different cables so far the one that came with the radios and one that I bought from Amazon, the Amazon cable says it’s FTDI, it does flash and recognize my radios but I get an error message while trying to clone says that the radio can’t be Recognized by com port 6. I’ve tried to update, install, reinstall the ports abound twenty times. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. I’m going to try another cable any Sunday would be great! Respectively,

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT7250D with CTF-29
by Silverfox 05 Dec '20

I recently bought a CTF-29 after reading it was the cable to buy based on Youtube videos. I cannot get it to work on windows 10 Pro. On doing a little research on the internet I see that most programming software for the radio come with a USB-29F cable. I am skeptical that there is a difference between the two. Any advice from the experts? Alan - W6ARH

[chirp_users] Version , power level not saved on GT-3TP

Howdy, Just installed CHIRP daily-20201125 and did a minor mod on my Baofeng GT-3TP. That minor mod was only to lower default trx power on one freq in memory, and rev my version counter. The mod to power level won't take. I tried twice. Anybody BTDT? -- K7CRL Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
