[chirp_users] can't upload to radio (Anytone 5888UVIII)
by eric.fort＠fortconsulting.org 20 Jun '23

20 Jun '23

I'm trying to upload a CSV file to my radio. ubfortunately the upload to radio option is greyed out. Why? what gives? I can download from the radio, which produces a saveable .img file and allows me to export a .csv with all the channels. I am unable however to either paste into chirp from another source or write the radio using the .csv file I exported. what gives? how do I import a .csv and output a .img file to the radio? Eric

Re: [chirp_users] Errors when trying to read from Icom IC-92AD
by Joe Martine 17 Jun '23

17 Jun '23

Today I received a cable for my Kenwood TH-F6A and find it has the same problem as the Icom. These two are the only "live mode" radios I've tried, perhaps my issue is more generally with live mode? The TH-F6A cable is a USB version, branded Maxton Data. When connecting to the radio most memory channels are red, a few actually show up correctly. This time I tried adding some data to an empty memory that was successfully read. Surprisingly, this does *usually* work. A couple of times the frequency would show up in the radio, but when I added an offset or tone the software seemed to indicate it was sent (green highlight then back to white) but the radio never showed the change. On one entry I made another change (change step size or something) and BOTH changes finally showed up on the radio. While Chirp was trying to read the memories the console showed many repeats of "Unexpected result returned from radio" and "Not sure what to do with this:" followed by either a '0' or a line of gibberish. Anyone have thoughts or suggestions to try? Thanks, Joe > > I have recently gotten back to playing with my radios after a few years (too many hobbies!) and was pleased to find Chirp can work with all of them.

Chirp reads data, but with lots of errors. Mac/Linux seem most successful, with just a few memory channels marked in red, Windows fails on almost all. But even the channels that do get read aren't quite right. There may be duplicated channel numbers, one blank the other with a frequency in it. The channel numbers may be out of order. Or some have incorrect data. > > A screenshot of one read attempt (this morning): > http://www.n5usr.net/images/230615_chirp/92ADLive_230615.png > > Note for memories 21-27, that block is actually all FRS frequencies.

In my original post here on the 8th, I wrote| | [I figured I'd ask here first before opening a feature request | in the issue tracker. If the answer is "no way", I'll pursue other | programing methods.] Since a number of CHIRP developers read this list, I figured I could ask here first, as a number of requests for other radios in the issue tracker have been answered with "too different - not possible". Meanwhile, I've made some progress figuring out the layout of the on-disk format that CPS 1.2.4 uses to store configs. I hope to be able to produce a CVS exporter.

[chirp_users] Errors when trying to read from Icom IC-92AD
by Joe Martine 15 Jun '23

15 Jun '23

I have recently gotten back to playing with my radios after a few years (too many hobbies!) and was pleased to find Chirp can work with all of them. At this point I've successfully read and reprogrammed several radios but my IC-92AD is not cooperating. I have the Icom programming cable and have tried reading its memory on Mac, Win and Linux with roughly the same result. Chirp reads data, but with lots of errors. Mac/Linux seem most successful, with just a few memory channels marked in red, Windows fails on almost all. But even the channels that do get read aren't quite right. There may be duplicated channel numbers, one blank the other with a frequency in it. The channel numbers may be out of order. Or some have incorrect data. A screenshot of one read attempt (this morning): http://www.n5usr.net/images/230615_chirp/92ADLive_230615.png Note for memories 21-27, that block is actually all FRS frequencies. The ham repeater entries are valid entries but they are NOT in memory locations 21 / 23 / 25 / 27. I also made a log file for one run (not this morning's, but similar results): http://www.n5usr.net/images/230615_chirp/IC92AD.log Am I doing something wrong? Perhaps a setting in the radio that needs to be changed? I've looked through the options and nothing strikes me as likely but you never know... Chirp version is: CHIRP next-20230608 on all three platforms. Thanks, Joe
