[chirp_users] CHIRP Tips: Advanced Editing
by Dan Smith 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

Hi all, I posted another "CHIRP Tips" video, this time on advanced editing techniques. This covers a number of tools CHIRP provides for bulk editing, organizing, and arranging memories. https://youtu.be/9UgJjwaXlrY Hopefully there's at least one tip in there you didn't already know about! --Dan

Hi all, There is a lot of useful content out on youtube that provides step-by-step instructions for some general workflows with CHIRP. However, there are a lot of other things you can do with CHIRP that never seem to get covered. Lately as I have helped people adjust to some of the things that are different in CHIRP next, I've been thinking that it might be nice to have a set of very short to-the-point videos that cover some of the more obscure features. Things you may or may not know about, or that you feel you don't quite understand enough to use properly, or things that have been added and gone unnoticed. Videos covering how to do something in CHIRP legacy may no longer be accurate or helpful today. Now, I'm not an influencer and I never will be. I'm not a cinematographer, narrator, or artist. Videos I make will never have the pizzaz of HRCC or some of the other people in the business. I'm an engineer and I'm only good at drawing straight lines and right angles. I don't want to make movies, I want to work on CHIRP. But, I can make short low-budget demonstration videos with dry voiceovers and probably help explain things better, so I figured I might give it a go. I've published the first video on custom stock configurations here: https://youtu.be/U3s5cT3IAco It's a little rough and I promise the next one will be better. If these are useful to you, please let me know here and subscribe to the channel so I can gauge interest. I have at least a few other topics that I think are not often well understood that I can cover in future videos, and let me know if you have other ideas. I want to keep these mostly radio-neutral, meaning they should be about how to use CHIRP in general, and not how to program a UV-5R. Josh already has that sort of thing covered. If it seems like making more of these is worth the trouble, I'll do that. Be gentle! :) --Dan

[chirp_users] Anyone using the new Wouxun Q332 6/2/70 HT?
by Francis Sedgemore 26 Jun '23

26 Jun '23

Greetings. This is my first post to the list. Do any of you have experience of the newish Wouxun Q332 6m/2m/70cm HT, and programming with Chirp? I'm aware that the radio is not in the list of supported devices, but wonder if it's compatible with another of the Wouxun profiles.

[chirp_users] CHIRP Next
by Otis Nunn 26 Jun '23

In the old version of chirp after you searched repeaterbook for your specified repeaters and the list came up you could scroll to the bottom of the page and check a box that said de-select all then scroll thru the list and check only the ones you wanted. That feature is no longer present in the CHIRP next version and I can not figure out how to only kee p the ones I want and do away with the rest. Is there something I am missing? I have nearly pulled out all my hair trying to figure this out and, I would really rather use it than Odmaster. Sent from my iPad
