[chirp_users] SOCOTRAN 980PLUS
by Damian Larkin 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

FYI - I can confirm successful read/write to a SOCOTRAN 980PLUS using the latest CHIRP build by using the "experimental" QYT 980PLUS radio selection in Chirp. I know that this may be old news. Still, I'm putting it out there so that there is some compatibility noted on the internet since information on the SOCOTRAN relabeled radios are either limited or missing entirely. Thank you!

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

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-20220620 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #691 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RB619] Add Retevis RB619 PMR Radio This patch adds support for the Retevis RB619. fixes #9794 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RB19P] Add Retevis RB19P GMRS Radio This patch adds support for the Retevis RB19P. #9794 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RB19] Add Retevis RB19 FRS Radio This patch adds support for the Retevis RB19. #9794 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] Driver Maintenance: radtel_t18.py The Radtel T18 driver (radtel_t18.py) supports several radio models (see list below). During the cloning operation, some models need to have the driver send/receive an acknowledgement (ACK) after each of the blocks are transferred. Some models do not need these ACKs. Models that require ACKs Radtel T18 Baofeng Tech FRS-B1 Models that don't require ACKs Retevis RT22S, RB18, RB618, RT68, RT668, RB17, RB617, RB17V, RB85, RB75 Although cloning does work for all of the supported models, the code that determines if CHIRP should ACK or not is improperly implemented. This often causes part of the ACK process to be used during the transfers to/from radios that don't need ACKs. These unnecessary ACKs cause the transfer to be shower than it could be. In some cases, the transfers are noticeably slower than what they are when using the OEM software. This patch corrects the above issue so that ACKs are only used when required. All of the radios listed above were reverified to make sure that that cloning process still works and is as fast or faster as it was previously. fixes #9911

[chirp_users] Fix a CSV File
by K0LNY_Glenn 10 Jun '22

10 Jun '22

Hey All, I plan on using all IMG files for my radios, but I wanted to add some frequencies to my Wouxun KG7D, it is a 2/6 meter HT. I'm using Chirp's KG6 option, since there is no 7 in the supported list, and the 7 is just an upgraded 6. Anyway, in the past, I only used a CVS file, so if someone can fix the attached file, for me, I can save it as an IMG, after uploading it to my radio. I can't use Chirp in Linux, but with a lot of effort in Windows using Jaws screenreader, I'm able to select radio, download and upload. I got this error with my Tyt 9800, and a list member was able to fix that CSV file for me, and he said some things weren't capitalized and perhaps missing values. I got the same error, when trying to import this file, it said "no channels". So it is attached and I hope someone here can detect what is wrong for me. Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Guide for CHIRP *Settings*?
by Gregory Beyer 07 Jun '22

07 Jun '22

Hi, the Memories portion of CHIRP is well covered here https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MemoryEditorColumns. However there a whole other section of the CHIRP software-- the Settings tab (Basic, Advanced, Other, Work Mode, FM Rado preset (obvious), DTMF and Service) Is there a guide for what all of these many settings are? Thanks -- *________________________* *Greg Beyer greg(a)beyerusa.net* <http://conventionofstates.com/?ref=67246> Drain the Swamp and Restore Local Governance <http://conventionofstates.com/?ref=67246>

[chirp_users] How to enter uplink & downlink tones
by Gregory Beyer 06 Jun '22

06 Jun '22

Hi, I'm a new amateur so sorry if this seems a dumb question. For repeaters with only an uplink tone, one simply selects "Tone" in Tone mode and selects the single tone to get into the repeater. Some repeaters list both an uplink and a downlink tone. In this case, which Tone mode option do I select? And in which property do I enter the downlink tone? Thank you. -- *________________________* *Greg Beyer greg(a)beyerusa.net* <http://conventionofstates.com/?ref=67246> Drain the Swamp and Restore Local Governance <http://conventionofstates.com/?ref=67246>
