Troubles with Chirp to an IC-92AD
by Andre Kostur 13 Jul '25

13 Jul '25

Hi, I'm having troubles getting the program (latest nightly, latest from github, and an older packaged version in Linux Mint 22) to talk to an IC-92AD radio. Seems to launch, and the radio responds to the wakeup attempt, but then just complains about skipping unexpected frames and eventually failing by says there's "No response from radio". Two questions: 1) Is the IC-92AD currently known to be problematic? (I note that bug #10645 is open, but no activity for 2 years) 2) Is the serial protocol to the 92AD documented anywhere? Interestingly once this happens, any future attempt to talk to the radio just does the "No response from radio" without mentioning unexpected frames. Until I power cycle the radio, then it goes back to the initial behaviour.

Re: COM4:PL2303TA DO NOT SUPPORT WINDOWS 11

[I apologize for turning this into a meta-discussion mostly unrelated to CHIRP, but feel that some facts need to be cleared up.] As I understand it, there are 2 issues here: 1) There are some fake chips which newer drives refuse to work with. 2) There are some legitimate Prolific parts that for some unknown reason, Prolific doesn't want to support on Windows 11. Case #2 is obviously not the user's fault. I'd argue that case #1 is also not the user's fault, unless the item they bought was described as "cable with fake Prolific chip". Punishing the end user for either seems unfair. Canon tried pulling trick #2 with their LiDE scanners, and VueScan showed that this was just a money grab by Canon (to sell entire new scanners users didn't need), and it provides its own scanner driver that is perfectly happy running those old scanners on new Windows versions. Microsoft just takes whatever drivers a hardware manufacturer pro- vides and bundles them into the monthly update. This has led to many problems in the past and will continue into the future, as they can just say "Go talk to the company that wrote the driver - you didn't by Windows directly from us, so you don't get any support from us". Besides, they're busy enough fixing their own bugs that break systems when updated. I also find it amusing that people are holding FTDI up as some ex- ample of a great company that doesn't do this - I guess the fact that FTDI intentionally bricked fake FTDI chips instead of just refusing to support them has faded from memory. Here's a refresher: https://www.zdnet.com/article/ftdi-admits-to-bricking-innocent-users-chips-…

Will CHIRP add more AR-5RM settings?
by Ceferino Lamb 04 Jul '25

04 Jul '25

I'm trying out a few AR-5RM, intending to replace our fleet of aging UV-5R/GT-3TP rigs on the ranch. I like what I see so far in the AR-5RM. I downloaded from the HT using model UV-17Pro, loaded my freqs, then uploaded using model 5RM. For the DL, Grok advised me to use model UV-17Pro. But I see that the UV-5R has much more tuneability in CHIRP, while the 5RM has far fewer settings to mod. I wonder if that's just due to the 5RM being more recent by far than the UV. Or is simply that the 5RM has less settings itself. But then, CHIRP added settings such as Squelch level support to the UV, only available thru CHIRP. So perhaps they are still working on AR tuning. -- //CRL Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
