[chirp_users] New chirp-next build

Greetings, A new build of CHIRP-next is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree since yesterday and may include additional features, bug fixes, etc. As a reminder, this is different from the "daily" CHIRP builds in that new development and features are happening here. It is the latest and greatest, but also may be less stable than the "daily" builds at this time. If it works for you, we recommend using CHIRP-next, but if your radio is not yet working on it, then you may prefer to use the "daily" builds for the time being. You can get it from here: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_next/ A list of changes since the last build are here: Changes for Build #76 [3046399+kk7ds] Add Retevis RT15 - fixes #6855 --

[chirp_users] uv5r plus corrupt img file
by Adrian Norcross 25 Feb '23

25 Feb '23

Hello, I'm new to programming radios so please bear with me. I have downloaded some frequencies from my radio through Chirp to a folder on my computer. When I try to open the folder I get a message saying that the "disk image file is corrupted" . I have downloaded a uv5r image file from the internet and I get the same message. Could anyone advise me as to a fix. Many thanks Adrian.

[chirp_users] Moving Columns
by Paul G7BHE 20 Feb '23

Hi everyone I may have missed this in the chat. Is it possible to rearrange the columns? I’ve tried several methods and can’t move anything. If not then I would be very grateful if this could be considered for future builds. Many thanks Paul G7BHE Sent from my iPhone

[chirp_users] Changing data Baofeng UV5
by Julian Macassey 18 Feb '23

18 Feb '23

I gave up trying to programme my Baofeng UV-5RV2+ using the previous CHIRP release. When CHIRP next came out, I thought maybe I could get it to programme my radio. I went through the steps to grab an *img file and load it into the radio. Then I saved it with modifications then downloaded, with a window saying "cloning". Exiting CHIRP, turning the radio off and on does NOT change the file. Am I doing something wrong?

This is a great explanation of why and how...I wish that all newbies (like me, at one time ;-) could read this...

Re: [chirp_users] The meaning of CHIRP...

The ai software basically derived its name from the chirp sound a radio makes when communicating. I recall that when I was a new engineer, my manager told me that I needed to have "projects for score" each year to increase the likelihood of a raise or promotion (or both ;-), AND that the more clever the name of the project, the more likely it was to stick in everyone's mind, and that, too, was taken into account as part of the success of the project. I have followed his advice over the years, even when I started my own consulting company. CHIRP is so much more memorable than 'repidr', so I think it qualifies. I was on the MMS engineering development and post-launch data analysis team, and always thought that PhDs needed to hire some slug to name their projects. MMS is /so/ forgettable ;-) CHIRP is so memorable :-) ~R~ 72/73 de Rich NE1EE The Dusty Key On the banks of the Piscataqua
