[chirp_users] FTM-3100R
by Andy Zaayenga 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Hi folks, I've got a new-to-me Yaesu FTM-3100R. Picked up a cable from BlueMax49ers to run with CHIRP. I downloaded the radio using the FTM-3200D R template as per the CHIRP home page. Downloading and uploading works fine. I copied and pasted from my Yaesu FT-60R img 63 of the frequencies I monitor that are covered by the FTM-3100R. Uploading those to the radio works fine and downloading shows them all in memory. However, I notice that when I scan all 63 frequencies the radio only scans the first 14. The display just stops on the 14th location while the numbers under MR keep counting up to 63. Then it cycles back to location 1. I have the radios side by side and the FT-60R scans all the locations while the FTM-3100R only the first 14. The specs say the radio has 199 memory locations which is consistent with the CHIRP img * 199 "basic" memory channels, numbered "1" through "199". But the CHIRP image doesn't show the home channel or any of the L or U locations. * A "Home" channel, providing storage and quick recall of one prime frequency. * 10 sets of band-edge memories, also known as "Programmable Memory Scan" channels, labeled "L0/U0" through "L9/U9". Does anyone out there have an FTM-3100R and can let me know if I'm doing something wrong? I'm wondering if there's some issue with the FTM-3200D R template WRT the FTM-3100R. Thanks from a first-time poster! 73 Andy Zaayenga KD2SME Yaesu FT-60R, Yaesu FTM-3100R

[chirp_users] Developer mode browser has become R/O?
by Ron 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

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

Sorry, Dick. That file is my CHIRP file, and I renamed it with a bak extension because most servers do not allow img files due to security protocol. As Danny points out, you can delete the .bak part to make it an img file that can be read into CHIRP. Tonight I installed the CHIRP Legacy edition and went through the same exercise. No difference from the current version. The operative question is – Does anyone on this list use CHIRP successfully for their Yaesu FTM-3100R? Then I would know if it’s something about my configuration or CHIRP itself. Thanks all.

[chirp_users] Legacy support question--Programming Talkpod A36+
by Jim Pruitt 07 Aug '23

07 Aug '23

I am still using the last legacy version of Chirp. I just acquired a Talkpod A36+ but can't find how to program it manually and hooking it up to Chirp can not talk to the radio but Talkpod is not in the list. I tried Baofeng UV5R but that did not work. Has anyone else programmed the Talkpod A36+ using Chirp? I tried searching for programming instructions to do it manually but all hits were to a youtube video and used Chirp. Thank you. Jim Pruitt

[chirp_users] Programming ICOM IC-7100
by Michael Nadler KI7QIB 06 Aug '23

06 Aug '23

I cannot get CHIRP to properly program an ICOM 7100. Can someone provide the explicit steps they use to program their ICOM IC-7100? Computer, running Windows 10, is connected to the 7100's Remote port via USB cable. CHIRP works fine programming a Kenwood D710G in live mode. I'm following the same steps: - Download from the radio - use "help me" to find the com port - set Vendor/model to ICOM/IC-7100 - tab opens with a copy of what's programmed in the radio - Import from file... - select the CSV file with several hundred entries - click Import - random channels are programmed; others show red numbers, which is an error indication Can no longer download from radio -- the program reports "permission error". I have to restart CHIRP in order to download from the radio. After the restart and download, if I use cut/paste to update say 20 entries -- entries are programmed randomly -- same result as with import. I've searched the mail archives -- some people report problems, tentative solutions are proposed (without documenting specific steps), but no one posts any resolution. This radio programs perfectly with RT Systems software. But their software uses clone mode, not live mode. -- Michael Nadler KI7QIB
