[chirp_users] Editing Image Files
by Bob DeFranco 26 Sep '22

I imported a set of repeaters and simplex stations into my BF-F8HP image file from a .csv file, which went fine. However, the power setting for each entry defaulted to HIGH. I prefer to use MED, but was forced to individually change each entry, since there does not seem to be a way to "fill down" or otherwise globally change that category. Is there in fact a way to do that? If there was a way to export that setting into a spreadsheet program it could be done there, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Thanks for your help.

Funny you should ask. I just programmed a friend's H6 this week from a Win10Pro laptop. Download was simple. I copied the fields from the last radio I programmed into a blank tab and uploaded. -- /Tom

[chirp_users] TIDRadio H6 - Failing to download from radio first time
by chirp 23 Sep '22

23 Sep '22

Hello- Im trying to use chirp on my Mac. I Checked the USB Com port type on another persons windows box to see what it was and it reported a WCH360 (As I recall, or close to it). I went to the following website based on Someone elses post a couple days ago to get the driver for my Mac: https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php <https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php> I installed it and also updated to todays latest chirp distribution. Im getting the following in my debug.log file after failing to download from radio even though the debug log shows no error at the end which is kinda odd since python clearly failed. Has anyone else had success with this model? I tried setting it to several different Boafang models and it seemed to get further but then still fail. I wasnt sure if it was closely compatable or not but I thought Id give it a try. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Bob [2022-09-23 14:28:55,420] chirp.ui.clone - DEBUG: Chose <class 'chirp.drivers.ga510.RadioddityGA510Radio'> alias for <class 'chirp.ui.clone.DynamicRadioAlias'> because model TD-H6 selected [2022-09-23 14:28:55,422] chirp.ui.mainapp - DEBUG: User selected TIDRADIO TD-H6 on port /dev/cu.wchusbserial1450 [2022-09-23 14:28:55,427] chirp.ui.clone - DEBUG: Clone thread started [2022-09-23 14:28:55,932] chirp.drivers.ga510 - DEBUG: Ack was '' [2022-09-23 14:28:55,932] chirp.ui.reporting - DEBUG: Reporting exception [2022-09-23 14:28:55,932] chirp.ui.common - ERROR: -- Exception: -- [2022-09-23 14:28:55,932] chirp.ui.common - ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/private/var/folders/fh/gl15kxgx1gs0_7mtj9przy500000gn/T/AppTranslocation/FC2A0E30-8C2B-4CC9-BFCC-65B961248458/d/CHIRP 3.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 255, in run self.__radio.sync_in() File "/private/var/folders/fh/gl15kxgx1gs0_7mtj9przy500000gn/T/AppTranslocation/FC2A0E30-8C2B-4CC9-BFCC-65B961248458/d/CHIRP 3.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/drivers/ga510.py", line 243, in sync_in data = do_download(self) File "/private/var/folders/fh/gl15kxgx1gs0_7mtj9przy500000gn/T/AppTranslocation/FC2A0E30-8C2B-4CC9-BFCC-65B961248458/d/CHIRP 3.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/drivers/ga510.py", line 51, in do_download ident = start_program(radio) File "/private/var/folders/fh/gl15kxgx1gs0_7mtj9przy500000gn/T/AppTranslocation/FC2A0E30-8C2B-4CC9-BFCC-65B961248458/d/CHIRP 3.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/drivers/ga510.py", line 40, in start_program raise errors.RadioError('Radio did not respond to clone request') RadioError: Radio did not respond to clone request [2022-09-23 14:28:55,932] chirp.ui.common - ERROR: ---------------- [2022-09-23 14:28:55,932] chirp.ui.clone - ERROR: Clone failed: Radio did not respond to clone request [2022-09-23 14:28:55,934] chirp.ui.clone - DEBUG: Clone thread ended [2022-09-23 14:28:55,937] chirp.ui.reporting - DEBUG: Reporting model usage: TIDRADIO_TD-H6,download,True [2022-09-23 14:28:55,937] chirp.ui.reporting - DEBUG: Reporting exception [2022-09-23 14:28:55,938] chirp.ui.inputdialog - ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: Radio did not respond to clone request — [2022-09-23 14:28:55,938] chirp.ui.inputdialog - ERROR: None [2022-09-23 14:28:55,938] chirp.ui.inputdialog - ERROR: ----------------------------

[chirp_users] Programming the QYT KT-8900D
by Tom 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hello, I'm stuck! I am trying to program my KT-8900D with CHIRP, and I keep getting error messages, depending on which pc/laptop I use. All of these are running Windows 7. In each case I want to "Download from Radio." And I have hooked up the programming cable after turning the radio off. With my HP PC: After connecting the radio and turning it on, the 'cloning process' window comes up, then the the pc returns the message: "An error has occurred. Error reading data from radio." With my Lenovo Laptop: Same set up. Error message is "Bad ack from radio." With my Dell Laptop: Same setup. No matter which com port I specify, I get the error message: "could not open port (X): [Error 2] The system could not find the file specified." Any advice that can be offered will be greatly appreciated. BTW, all three of these computers worked fine with CHIRP earlier. I do not know what went wrong. Thanks, -73- Tom KX7TRW
