[chirp_users] Newbie Question
by Tom Vaughn 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

Hello All, I am trying to load CHIRP onto my desktop (Windows 7). I did check the FAQ and searched the CHIRP website before asking this question. I was looking for step by step instructions for installing CHIRP. My apologies if I overlooked it. What I have done so far is to click on the latest daily builds link. I then downloaded chirp-daily-20150702-installer.exe which when I open it brings up a blank page though there is a RADIO tab with options. I have yet to connect my radio to the computer as I have the computer cable on order. Do I also need to download the <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-daily-20150702.app .zip> chirp-daily-20150702.app.zip file? I did download and unzip it but now what? Thanks in advance for your help. Tom Vaughn La Porte, IN

[chirp_users] IC-T70A SCAN behavior incorrect after being programmed
by Nicholas Papadonis 10 Jul '15

10 Jul '15

Folks, I programmed my IC-T70A using Chirp daily and it programmed successfully, however I found that during SCAN mode any T SQL channel has the beep icon displayed as it’s passed during the scan. If signal is found the radio starts beeping. This behavior is only supposed to be in place if pocket beep is on and therefore I thought it was a programming or firmware bug. I then used RT Systems IC-T70A app to download the memory and immediately program it back. The beep icon and issue went away. My conclusion is that either I’m using Chirp incorrectly to set T SQL or Chirp has a bug where it’s programming T SQL incorrectly. I noticed that Chirp has two identical strings named “T SQL” in the drop down menu and wonder if that could be related to the issue. Perhaps Chirp is programming the memory channel with T SQL with the beep bit turned on. Does this sound like a valid bug? If so, I will file it. Thanks

[chirp_users] UV-82C
by James Li 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Hello all: Using the latest CHIRP (daily build 20150702) on a group of BaoFeng UV-82C. The last one I received causes Chirp to quit unexpectedly when I try to upload an image. I can download from the radio and upload new settings but not the cloned image from the other four UV-82C’s that I use. The program crashes and quits within the first 3 seconds of attempting an image upload to this one radio. I’m using MacOSX (10.10.4). Firmware is US2S25 on all five UV-82Cs. Any help appreciated.

[chirp_users] UV-5R
by Bob Seaborn 06 Jul '15

I just won a Baofeng UV-5R at our local hamfest today. Holding "3" down while I power on reports BFB-297, however when I run CHIRP and try to read the radio, CHIRP reports "Incorrect model selected" and I am unable to read the radio. However when I do the same thing using my older UV-5R that reports BFB-251, then CHIRP properly downloads the radio data. Has the Baofeng firmware changed that much? If it helps, the BFB-291 new radio has serial 13U1006381 and the BFB-251 older radio has serial 1010024752. The only difference on the label that I can find is that the older radio claims 480MHz as it's upper frequency, while the newer radio claims 520MHz. I am using the latest 'chirp-daily-20150702-win32' daily build under windows 7 and a FTDI cable, but did try one earlier version with the same results. Any suggestions, assistance, or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and effort. *.....Bob, VE5XEF*

[chirp_users] UV5RM HP Firmware Issue
by Kevin Smith 04 Jul '15

04 Jul '15

I have one of the new UV5RM HP radios(7watt), and am finding the firmware is different than other UV5R models (Ver BFB251). It is a firmware build N5R3407BFP3-23. This is giving me difficulty in downloading a saved image file from my current UV5R profile. Any suggestions?

by Jürgen Frank 02 Jul '15

Hello, as I don’t know how to open a ticket: When will new firmware of Sainsonic AP510 APRS-Tracker (20150616) be supported. As it seems to be a stable version now, that would make sense. 73 de Juergen DB2FM (DMR-ID 2628226)

[chirp_users] transfer random frequencies to chirp
by EllBee 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

I am able to import frequencies from radio reference but there are other frequencies that importing doesn't include. I tried copying the freq's from the reference page to my saved image but the fields don't match and it won't save such as tones and modes. Is there an easy way to get these 20-30 freq's into chirp so to upload to my radio? Do I have to have all fields entered or can I just enter a frequency. Thanks for the info and help.

[chirp_users] Jetstream Channels limit
by Bob Dixon 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

I find the Jetstream JT470M software allows only 14 channels to be programmed. Changing the channel limits and doing refresh does not help. Suggestions? Bob W8ERD
