[chirp_users] Issue with Retevis RT24
by Michael Urspringer 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

Although Retevis RT24 seems to be supported by CHIRP I cannot connect to it. I get the message "Radio refused to enter programming mode 2". I am using software version " chirp-daily-20200807". If I use the original Retevis software I can read and write the device without a problem so I guess it should not be an issue with the USB-Serial driver. Does anybody have an idea what I do wrong here? Thanks, Michael

[chirp_users] Chirp/Mac is 10.11.6 problem
by john muirhead 13 Aug '20

Hello, I downloaded chirp to my 2011 MacBook pro with OS El Capitan 10.11.6, chirp won't open. It just keeps crashing before it opens. I can not update my software because my Mac is too old, apple locked pre 2012 MacBook pro owners out. Is there anything I can do to make chirp work? Thanks, John

No I didn't download anything from UV 9R to Chirp but I reset the radio to default which most people say you do then reset it to English, so you say download the content to Chirp then put in what you need i/E Marine channel then it will upload afresh. Please tell me I'm correct it does let me put my radio model in on a drop down do I do that as well Thanks in advance Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

I've downloaded Chirp but the upload button is not highlighted, does this mean my driver is incorrect, I put the driver in first, I own a Baofeng UV-9R is it the same driver as a UV 5. Thanks in advance I think the driver was called something like a 20 20 the latest Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

[chirp_users] Alinco DJ-VX50 HE handy talkie
by François Génolini 09 Aug '20

09 Aug '20

Hi, Is there any demand, or need, for Chirp to support the Alinco DJ-VX 50 HE (european variant) handy talkie? I have the handset, the programming cable, as well as the free software to read and write to the handset, and I have successfully read and written to my handset. The instructions on how to develop support for a new handset look feasible, so I could volunteer to make a patch if this was of interest. -- Regards, François Génolini MM7MCT

can you tell me what radio settings if any I can use to program the RTS systems ( Bosvark ). I did get a software DV3400R but with this software all alteration must be done by hand. You can't cut, copy ,paste, export or import. Tlis program file save as a .dat but it does not seem to be compatable with Chirp because I do not know as to what radio I can use to open the file. please give me a answer. thanking you Hennie -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 07 Aug '20

07 Aug '20

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20200807 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #629 [Rick DeWitt <aa0rd(a)yahoo.com>] [ic2730] Fix for issue #8159; reversed E/F DTMF codes [Martin Cooper <mfncooper(a)gmail.com>] Fix Icom radio detection Icom radio detection has been broken for a long time, because the detection code is expecting to be passed a radio instance, but is being passed a serial port instead. Since we are trying to determine the model, we don't have the relevant class yet. Instead, create a minimal radio instance to allow us to query for the model. These changes fix both the 'Detect' option in the 'Download From Radio' menu and the 'chirpc --id' command. Fixes #7905 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [AT778-UV] Update Allowed Radio Types for AnyTone AT778-UV This patch adds "V100" to list of "ALLOWED_RADIO_TYPES". Closes #8109 [Bernhard Hailer <ham73tux(a)gmail.com>] Fixes #6925, skip flag inversion in ft4.py driver.
