[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

Can I use one of the other Baofeng radio settings in Chirp? Alternatively, will this model be added to Chirp in the future. Thanks

[chirp_users] Interesting item with Baofeng GT-5R, others? Duplex setting
by Ken Hansen 30 Jul '23

30 Jul '23

Hello all, I programmed my GT-5R with CHIRP-Next and all was fine, except when I tried to program a simplex channel in my radio to access my SHARI AllstarLink node. In the memory tab, I set "Duplex" to "off", as the logical choice among "+", "-", "split", and "off". But when I tried to transmit after loading that channel into my radio, it would not transmit (no RF, display color didn't change). So I went in, looked hard at the settings, and discovered there was another option lurking in plain sight - " " (blank). When I selected (blank) and loaded the radio with the modified channel, it worked fine (TX as expected, in simplex). If I look at the (actually pretty good) GT-5R manual that shipped with the radio, it says I have three choices for that field, menu item 25, SFT-D: "OFF [0]" TX = RX (simplex) "+ [1]" TX higher than RX freq "- [2]" TX lower than RX freq There's no mention of "split" or "off". In short, the only valid options appear to be "-", "+", and "off", which I guess could be set to " " (blanks). I just thought I'd share this here, I'll open an issue on the chirp-next website to get this fixed. Ken, N2VIP

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-65 No upload, not a CSV tab issue - Download OK
by Peter.jay12 30 Jul '23

30 Jul '23

I’ve scanned several monthly archives for "FT-65" and separately for “upload”. The only reports I can find is that users are trying to upload a CSV tab (a common problem) and not the tab downloaded from the radio. I’ve added my channels to the FT-65 download tab and still no joy uploading. Im using a Mac OS Ventura 13.5 and an RTsystems (ZRT-USB-55) with current drivers (verified with tech support) working in the Mac. Chirp downloads from the radio without any issue. I see both TX and RX displayed on the radio and CLONE OK but no changes are made to the memory locations. I’ve reset the radio to factory defaults and made only a single change to a memory channel in Chirp to limit any input error without success. Probably something simple but I just don’t see it. Any thoughts?

[chirp_users] BTECH GMRS-V2 won't read
by Barry Evans 29 Jul '23

29 Jul '23

I am getting an error "Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want." Has anyone else seen this? I checked the FAQ's and looked through issues and the archives but didn't find anything. Maybe I missed something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Barry <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free.www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

[chirp_users] Pofung P8UV programming
by eric.fort＠fortconsulting.org 27 Jul '23

27 Jul '23

A friend of mine, not knowing any better acquired 2 pofung P8UV radios, FCC ID: 2AJGM-P51UV. The fact that the FCC's own website ( https://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid ) shows no record of this ID (though interestingly https://fcc.io does?!!!!!, now who owns FCC.io?) leaves me a bit concerned..... But that's another topic. I'm trying to figure out how to program these to at least listen to other things than the channels they came with. The supported radio's list says P8UV _(use Radioddity UV-5G)_ but that does not work. I get "Error communicating with radio, Radio did not respond.". That said, I have verified the correct serial port being used and followed the directions about turning the radio on and off, etc. The radio is on and everything plugged in as far as I can tell properly but I still get the above error after repeated attempts. Chirp works fine programming my ANYTONE UV5888UVIII. Ideas, Thanks, Eric

[chirp_users] Using The Keyboard On Radio List
by K0LNY 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

Hey Group, I'm sure most folks here use Chirp with the computer's mouse or touchpad, but there is an annoying thing with the keyboard, and I'm hoping those who develop Chirp might be able to address this, and I wonder if it is annoying to others. I wouldn't call it a bug, because I'm guessing most users haven't experienced it. But in the radio model list, when I'm down arrowing to find my model, a dialog pops for every model, and reads: Experimental driver Tested and mostly works, but may give you issues when using lesser common radio variants. Proceed at your own risk, and let us know about issues! Do not prompt again for Yaesu FT-25R OK * So this dialog is okay, but in prior Chirps, it only popped up once you selected your model and clicked okay. I'm guessing that most people typically just roll their pointer to the model and then get that message just one time. But when your model is 10 models down the list, it is quite annoying to have to uncheck the box and then okay. Can this dialog be moved to after the okay is clicked on a model, like it was before? What do others think? Thanks. Glenn A man with a clock always knows what time it is. A man with two clocks is never sure. -- A derivative of Segal's law
