[chirp_users] " Python-future package" on Mac;
by Craig Hayes 30 Jun '21

30 Jun '21

Hello, I’m having trouble with Chirp on my Mac ( 10.13 High Sierra but same problem on Mojave ) and my new Anytone AT-778UV VOX. The radio model is not in the drop down menu. If I launch Chirp from the shell script I get this warning in the terminal; WARNING: python-future package is not available; chirp.drivers.anytone778uv requires it I guess this explains why I don’t see the radio entry in the menu. I tried installing future via pip, everything appeared to work but still no luck. Anybody encounter this problem? Any hints on where to look for a solution? Thanks, Craig

What happens if you try to upload frequencies outside the range of the radio? Both for receive and transmit and for just receive. Bob W8ERD

I have a PX-888 radio, a Chirp supported cable, and a Windows 10 computer.The radio is a PX-888, NOT a PX-888K.I am having trouble programming the radio. When I upload or download, the data gets garbled. Data does send both directions, but with errors.The exact model of my radio is not listed in Chirp, it lists a PX-777, and a PX888K.Please help.

[chirp_users] Help with new radio
by Thomas Williams 27 Jun '21

Hi all, I have an issue with my new UV-5X. (shocking) The firmware version is P51UV01 and CHIRP will not communicate with the radio. My COM port is 3, the radio is a baofeng and the model is UV-5X The CHIRP message is "Rado did not respond" Tried a bunch of baofeng models and got the same response. Downloaded the baofeng software and it reads the radio fine. I can make changes from the keypad of the radio and they show up in the baofeng software when I redownload from the radio. This also works when I use the software to make changes and write the changes to the radio. It appears CHIRP doesn't work with this firmware update. Please correct me if I am wrong, as I am often wrong. This setup is working for me but I prefer CHIRP.

[chirp_users] Kenwood TH-K20 and Mac
by Jim McGarvie 26 Jun '21

26 Jun '21

The CHIRP website says it supports the TH-K2, so that is what I selected when I attempted to program my TH-K20A with my Mac, but it didn’t work. It would not download the data from the radio. I tried with both RT’s USB-K4Y and the FTDI cable, but no joy. Is there anyway to use CHIRP on a Mac to program the TH-K20A? Thanks. Jim

[chirp_users] How do I ensure that I don't TX on a memory slot? Baofeng UV-5RX3
by Geordon Shoshin VanTassle 24 Jun '21

24 Jun '21

I thought I saw something about what column to set earlier when I was looking for something else, but can someone give me a hint as to what I need to set in order to disable TX on a particular memory slot that I want to be listen only (specifically, in this case, the US WX frequencies)? — With greatest regards, Geordon Shōshin 正心 VanTassle
