[chirp_users] Problems with Windows 8.1
by Mike Raymond 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

Ok, the Win_Driver_Prolific_3_2_0_0 with a FTDI chip cable and Chirp (or UV-3R tranceiver software), all work great on my XP and W7 machines. Installing the same driver and cable on my W8.1 Laptop produces the following error: This device cannot start. (Code 10) {Not Enough Quota} Not enough virtual memory or paging file quota is available to complete the specified operation. Any suggestions on how to solve the W8.1 problems? Does W8.1 require a special driver? cable? Thanks, Mike K5HUM(a)ARRL.NET

When attempting to save a frequency file for a BF-888S using a 2014 version of CHIRP I noticed that the Save As function would not work (no prompt for file name). After downloading and attempting to install daily build 20150702 I received a "Error opening file for writing" message regarding file _ctypes.pyd (and _hashlib.pyd, _socket.pyd, _ssl.pyd, etc.) Any guidance for solving this installation problem would be appreciated.

[chirp_users] Chirp using Vista Business
by Larry 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

Please read carefully and you will see that I am not having radio problems I am having software problems. I was trying to use CHIRP with Windows Vista Business. I already have UV-5 and UV-82 loaded and they work, but when I try to run Chirp I get the following: C:\Program Files\CHIRP\chirpw.exe The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more details. I am using chirp-daily-20150702-installer and the cable driver I am using is Win_Driver_Prolific_3.2.0.0 and it works fine on Windows 7 and 10 John Milkor suggested I contact you. Larry Nation K0SLZ

[chirp_users] Error- Radio rejects download
by Thomas Zeller 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '15

I have a Baofeng UV-5R radio and am attempting to download from radio and get the error that radio rejects download. I have the programming cable for the radio from Baofeng and it is a USB on the computer end. I even attempted to use another port on the computer.I get it to download from radio but gives me a new set of downloads. I then take the program I had manually set up on a Chirp screen and then export/import to the new download set up when downloaded to radio. I then attempt to download to radio. It will not clone and it says radio rejects clone, or radio rejects download. The manual does not have much information that came with the radio. I thought if I did a factory reset on the radio and wipe out all that was on the radio and then do the download from and to radio it might work but i can not find where to even do a factory reset on the radio. Any assistance would be appreciated Thomas Zeller KB0ORZ417-540-2955

[chirp_users] Icom 51a+
by Andrew Konkol 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

Hello! I recently bought this radio and was very excited to get chirp to work with it. However, it seems like the nuances of "a+" are different than id-51. I've seen some related posts which lead me to believe that *one* could get this working: http://intrepid.danplanet.com/pipermail/chirp_users/2014-October/006699.html and a model support request: http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/2701 I was wondering if anyone is actively working on this? Or what I can do to help.. -andy

Hi Bill, Not sure why don't we ask the mailing list. Cheers Angus -------- Original Message -------- Subject: UV6R programming Date: 2015-07-15 13:38 From: bill cunnane <kk7xt(a)yahoo.com> To: "angus(a)akkea.ca" <angus(a)akkea.ca> I just bought a UV6R Baofeng hand held radio. Does Chirp have a program yet that will allow computer programming of this radio. I know its new on the market but its already out there for sale. Please advise. Sincerely Bill Cunnane KK7XT
