[chirp_users] Are Baofeng leads TTL?
by Phil 31 May '20

31 May '20

I have a project in mind that needs a USB interface lead and since I have several Baofeng programming leads I thought I might cut the radio end off and be left with a TTL compatible lead. Is that the way these leads work or are they specific to the Baofeng radio? -- Regards, Phil

[chirp_users] Repeater listings
by Luke Bryan 28 May '20

28 May '20

Greetings all, I am glad for all the work you do for an open-source radio app! I maintain the repeater database at hearham.live and wonder what the process is to list a repeater source in Chirp? Unlike other repeater books, the full database is accessible in a readily readable format. Even the app is open source. https://hearham.com/repeaters Additionally I hope for this repeater listing to be unlike other repeater books in that it is newer, does not have old old repeaters that were there once years ago, after all the time you take to plug them in... they are not actually there :( Hope you find it useful! Have a great week Luke

[chirp_users] Programming The Kenwood TH-F6
by Glenn K0LNY 28 May '20

28 May '20

Hi, I'm hoping my new programming cable comes today so I can program my Kenwood TH-F6 hand-held. So I know that it has over 400 memory slots, and it can RX all the HF frequencies. So I'm wondering how it works while in Chirp, so I can plan my CSV file. Since I'm Blind and cannot read the display, I may have questions that might otherwise seem obvious to you. 1: Does it have a channel 0, or do they start with 1? 2: I read of banks of memories in groups of 50 for different bands. Is this have to be kept to, or is it just a convenience? In my Baofeng's CSV file, they are intermixed. 3: Can anyone recommend some common HF frequencies that I can program into it? Thanks.

[chirp_users] Programming Arcshell-5
by Jonathan Pierce 25 May '20

25 May '20

Best wishes from a Noob, I am a FireWise neighborhood council member in a rural, high-risk forested area (70 miles from the Paradise Fire) of northern California. Several neighbors and I want to set up a backup evacuation radio notification system for our neighborhood in the event that power (lose cable internet and VOIP phone service) and cell towers are down (the local tower burnt last year during an event). And we have spotty cell coverage at best. We found the best-seller Arcshells on Amazon are powerful and reach through our hilly neighborhood OK. But I understand that 1. The devices are not FCC approved; 2. Antennae is removable; 3. Stock programming is a mix of FRS and GMRS frequencies. Fire chief has given go ahead for us to use them if we don’t interfere with any of the EMS, police, and fire frequencies. The stock frequencies programmed in the Arcshell AR-5 are indeed different than all the official ones used. But some neighbors want the radios reprogrammed so they are strictly only using FRS frequencies. I’ve been able to query and download the memory from an arcshell, and I believe I have figured out how to save a modified memory profile to a file so that it could uploaded to all units. Questions: 1. Using the chirp edit function can I just go ahead and change all channels’ frequencies to strictly FRS permitted ones? 2. Do I need to change any of the other settings like Tone Mode, Tonesql, DTCS Code, etc, or can they just remain as is? Thanks for your knowledgeable help! Jonathan

I can't argue that. I can only report what I see. One version works, one version doesn't. What changed that would affect this?

More: I went back to my saved images, and I had notated that I was using the UV-82WP drivers to read the UV-XP. That no longer works on the latest version of CHIRP. The version that I have installed on my programming laptop is 20200227. That still works. Something has changed in the driver. Mike, WB4TTZ -----Original Message----- >From: "Michael E.
