[chirp_users] Tyt 9800 Importing Problems
by K0LNY 20 Aug '23

20 Aug '23

Hi All, I'm still working on my Tytera 9800. I have had trouble working on the CSV file of the 227 memories. My MS Office Excel seems to mess up the fields. For some reason, my LibreOffice Calc crashes when I open the CSV in there. I had a portable version of Libre Office, so I installed the full version, and that kept crashing too. I'm using windows 10. So I ran Dism with the repair switches, and that didn't find anything. So I ran SFC and that fixed a problem and I rebooted. I tried Libre Office again, and it keeps crashing. I fixed up the CSV in Notepad, making sure to not mess with the commas. But I need to get the data into Chirp to upload it to the radio. I installed Open Office, and opened it up in there, but the data does not past into Chirp. I tried to import the CSV file into Chirp, but it does not find it to be a file it can open. The error is: An error has occurred Unknown File Format Should Chirp be able to import a CSV file? I am using Chirp Next from a couple days ago. Thanks for any suggestions.

Using them is such second nature that I could scarcely believe the thread was not a joke <grin>. That's why I didn't reply. Turns out the joke's on me. I guess that's how much things have changed over the decades. I haven't use DTMF in a decade or so, and that's all it takes to lose historical relevance, eh? We used them all the time for autopatches and repeater management, as well as remote control of devices, such as on high-altitude balloon missions (30 km). ~R~ 73 Rich NE1EE The Dusty Key On the banks of the Piscataqua

[chirp_users] Tyt 9800 Buttons
by K0LNY 20 Aug '23

Hi All, In the Chirp settings page, I was able to program the four programmable buttons on the microphone, using a screenreader in windows 10 and Chirp Next, but I did not notice if there was anything in Chirp Settings tab for the four vertical buttons to the right of the numberpad on the microphone. Are those programmable buttons, or are they for something else? I cannot read the buttons, and I didn't find any reference in the manual that was readable with a screenreader as what these buttons are. Can anyone tell me if they are programmable or not, and what they do? The vertical buttons do nothing, but sometimes the top one beeps once, and after that, there is nothing from the buttons. Thanks.

[chirp_users] FMT7250DR Programming
by Bob MacWilliams 16 Aug '23

Hello: For some time now I have been using Chirp to program my 7250 with mixed results. #1 Can not change from FM to Digital (not in the drop down) #2 Yesterday I wanted to add some TSQL to some repeaters and accomplished that OK but after entering, the power switched to LOW. Had to go to NFM to regain the HI power. setting. Haven't seen this problem in any correspondence from others in the past emails, or am I missing something?. Bob bdmacwill(a)gmail.com

[chirp_users] _valid_tones
by Jim Unroe 16 Aug '23

Dan, I was just brought to my attention that the rb15.py driver has selections for tones in one Hz increments from 56.0 to 64.0 Hz. Doing some looking around I see that there is a "TONES_EXTRA" in chirp_common.py that matches these tones. It appears that the default tones have been changed from TONES to TONES + TONES_EXTRA. I don't know why this change was made, but now every radio I have tested, whether they support it or not, has these 10 additional tones appended to their list of tones. [image: TONES_EXTRA.png] Can this be changed back or do I need to make a plan to address this in the individual drivers for each of the affected radios? Jim

I rolled back and forth between the latest build and chirp-next-20230601-installer.exe a couple times to verify that the problem is only in the newer build. > In the past I was able to change things in the developer mode browser to work around bugs but now it won't let me enter/change anything? >This happened after I recovered from a disk corruption and had to re-install CHIRP (possibly a newer build). Everything else works normally as before. >Thanks, >Ron
