Out Of Supported Range Error for BaoFang UV-5RH Pro Max
by robboere＠hotmail.com 17 Nov '24

17 Nov '24

I'm currently setting up a UK-5RH Pro Max which is able to monitor around 6 frequency bands as well as having the FM Radio function available on many UV-5Rs. I've been trying to set-up a number of additional FM radio frequencies in the range of 88.8 MHz to 107.5 MHz for stations in and around London here in the UK. These frequencies can for the most part be found on the FM radio function, but they can't be named with the built in FM radio scanner - so was seeking to create these as a set of defined channels in my configuration file. I have created these as a CSV and have loaded them into Chirp as a CSV import. However I don't seem to be able to insert them into the configuration file for the handset. Unfortunately, I receive the message "Some memories are incompatible with this radio" and specific errors such as "Frequency 96.400000 is out of supported range" for all 60 that I'm trying to insert. I have added other frequencies from 108 MHz onwards and there are absolutely no problems with these - so am sure that the method I'm using to add these is correct. It seems to just be the question around adding any frequencies below 108 MHz and the Chirp configuration and/or the Radio not accepting them. I've checked the radio and I can scan all of the ranges outlined below, so the radio is capable of receiving on those ranges: - 65-108 MHz FM RX - 108-136 MHz AM RX AM Air Receiving Only - 136-174 MHz FM TX/RX - 220-260 MHz FM TX/RX - 350-390 MHz FM RX - 400-480 MHz FM TX/RX - 480-520 MHz FM RX I have used both the Baofeng UV-5RH and Baofeng 5RM but neither of these allow these frequencies to be added to the listing. I was keen to have FM radio channels with names and direct selection via the channel selection capability, but it seem that this isn't possible. It means that I'd need to scan anywhere where I am and hope to guess what the radio station is. Would anyone know why the software (or Radio/Profile) isn't allowing me to add these frequencies?

No response from radio error
by Ramon Jones 16 Nov '24

16 Nov '24

I have searched the archive and could not find an answer. I just purchased a Btech FTDI programming cable. I have been unable to use this cable with the CHRIP programming software, I get a "No response from radio" error message when I try to read any Baofeng radio. I have multiple UV-5R and BF-888s radios, I have tried programming on 3 different computers using Windows 7, 10 and 11 with the same problem! When I look at the device manager, everything looks correct on all 3 computers. If I try using the BF-888 software on the BF-888s radio everything works as it should! Do you have any suggestions to fix this problem?

Yaesu vs. Baofeng/TYT band memories
by Massimo Nespolo 11 Nov '24

11 Nov '24

Greetings, Two amateurs groups need to build up a common group. One has Yaesu FT-4x, the other Baofeng or TYT. Chirp supports both. However, it does not seem possible to past or export-import the band memories from one model to the other - at least I couldn't figure out how to do it. Is there a way, or one has to retype everything by hand? Thank you in advance. Massimo

Export to CSV failing when no row selected
by andy＠gamubaru.com 09 Nov '24

09 Nov '24

I have an Icom-7100. I can download from the radio OK. There are two cases where the export to CSV fails. 1) If no rows are selected. 2) if row 0 and other rows are selected. If I select valid rows, it works. On failure I get: ERROR: <function ChirpEditorSet.export_to_file at 0x7063e0c2d300> raised unexpected exception Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/andy/.local/pipx/venvs/chirp/lib/python3.12/site-packages/chirp/wxui/common.py", line 642, in run_safe return fn(*args, **kwargs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/home/andy/.local/pipx/venvs/chirp/lib/python3.12/site-packages/chirp/wxui/main.py", line 325, in export_to_file current.export_to_file(filename) File "/home/andy/.local/pipx/venvs/chirp/lib/python3.12/site-packages/chirp/wxui/memedit.py", line 2247, in export_to_file m = self._memory_cache[row] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^ KeyError: 0 This seems to be from site-packages/chirp/wxui/memedit.py: def export_to_file(self, filename): if not filename.lower().endswith('.csv'): raise Exception(_('Export can only write CSV files')) selected = self._grid.GetSelectedRows() if len(selected) <= 1: selected = range(0, self._grid.GetNumberRows()) -------------------------------------^ When no rows are selected, the range includes 0. If you start from 1, it works print("selected: ",selected) r = generic_csv.CSVRadio(None) # The CSV driver defaults to a single non-empty memory at location # zero, so delete it before we go to export. r.erase_memory(0) for row in selected: m = self._memory_cache[row] This is using chirp-20241108-py3-none-any.whl I'm not sure if some radios may actually start at memory zero. The comment about deleting row zero would seem to indicate that is not the case. Thanks, Andy - KF5JLJ Thanks

Out of Band Memories
by John Cox 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

I'm trying to load memories from a .csv file into a TS-480HX that has been modified for MARS use. Frequencies in the ham bands load fine, but none of the MARS frequencies are being accepted. I know it's not the rig because these frequencies have been in the radio memories before. Any ideas? Thanks, John *John C. Cox, K4JCC*No trees were killed in the sending of this message, however a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced!
