[chirp_users] Assistance adding files to a radio that's programmed from another radio.
by James Pope 27 Sep '20

27 Sep '20

Hello, I'm running into a slight bit of confusion and would like the easiest way to do the following. My cousin has to Baofeng radios, that I have program with MURS frequencies that he can use, since he is not yet a ham. I also have a lot of local public safety frequencies program into it that he scans, and of course have the transmit turned off on those. Here's what we have going on. At work they are using a different model Baofeng radios, supported by chirp. I would like to take one of his radios from work, read their frequencies and add them to his radio in the list below his current frequencies so he can use it at work. I have read about exporting to CSV and importing and it seems a little confusing. Even if I were to do this, I have read nothing about having a choice of what memory slots the important frequencies would go into, or if I have a choice like I normally do when I'm programming. Is there a simple way I can download the memories from their radios and just copy and paste them into his existing file without overwriting or losing what's already in his radio? Is it possible to open up two radio images, in two different tabs at one time using Chirp? I would think that copy and paste should work somehow but I want to make sure I know exactly how to do it rather than mess up the radios that I've set up for him that he really likes. By messing up I mean putting all the frequencies above the ones that are already in there and not at the end. He really needs these extra frequencies added to his current radios that I programmed for him. Yes, I did make an original image of both of his radios, and I do have the fully programmed images saved. The easiest way to do this, is what I'm looking for. If I can forgo exporting and importing, and just copy that would be ideal. Any assistance or help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Thanks, James

[chirp_users] CHIRP FTM-3200DR Support?
by Jack 26 Sep '20

26 Sep '20

I have looked at the web site (FAQ/Wiki/etc) and have not found a definitive answer as to whether an FTM-3200DR is a supported rig. I did see one thread that was several years old but that did not answer my question. I have seen mention of a FTM-3200D but all the documentation I find on the Yaesu web site only refers to radios appended DR or DE. Apologies if this has been answered before but I could not find it. 73, Jack, K0JP/VE3RUA -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

[chirp_users] Programming Retevis R21
by bob burks 25 Sep '20

25 Sep '20

Need some help. Our church uses these for inter church communication. I have setup the first 20 or 30 ht's no problem. I made backup of the program image. We are in need of adding more RT21 to the flock. My problem is after programming the new ht's everything works etc the transmit audio is extremely low to not at all. I also noticed the image file loads back differently by dropping out data. I have changed to the latest Chirp level. And have two programming cables. Nothing changes. I use a working ht and when I download the image file it also is not the same as the orginal. I have also used 4 different laptops and a table computer. Most are running ein 10. I have another laptop running vista sw and the results are the same. Any ideas??

Hi All, When I download from my Icom W-32A it only grabs the 2M band. How do I get the (440 and Aviation) channels? Thanks!

[chirp_users] supported radio differences between windows & linux versions
by Pierre Emeriaud 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hello I'm using chirp-daily-20200909 on both windows and linux (mint w/ ppa if that matters) and on the linux version I can find the Retevis RT95 (nor the anytone 778) in the "import from radio" menu. Is there something to enable/edit/ on the linux side? Wrong build on the ppa builder? thanks, 73 de f4inu

Greetings fellow chirp users, Will someone please point me to chirp info on programming the Icom ws32. I'm having absolutely no luck in getting the program to recognize the radio. I'm guessing I'm not doing something right. I poked around the chirp website but came up empty. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks much, Sam/kb3dnz
