[chirp_users] IC-208H programming question -- having difficulty
by Thomas Fancher 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

I am having difficulty getting my laptop to communicate with the IC-208H. It is easy to start the radio such that it displays "CLONE". Pressing the "SET*LOCK" button gives "CL OUT" but quickly clicking on the "download" in Chirp only gives an error message that there is a failure to communicate. John (kc2txv) was kind enough to send me a file that he has used with his Icom IC-208H. I modified the frequencies as applicable for my area and attempted to simply download the image file to the radio without having first accomplished an upload. That gives the message: "An error has occurred Failed to communicate with the radio: Unexpected response from radio." I verified that I have the "Prolific" USB cable set to the correct com port. However, I do not know of a good way to test the cable.

[chirp_users] Yaesu 7800
by ARSK0MBB＠aol.com 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Hello everyone....Thanks to all who provide us less capable with the answers to program our radios. I have successfully programmed my BaoFeng UV-5re and would like to do the same with the Yaesu. I've seen comments that this is possible. Would someone be able to give me step by step instructions so I don't have to reinvent the wheel? I have the programming cable for the BaoFeng and can connect to the necessary pins of the data jack on the 7800 via a homemade adapter. Thanks, Phcyman KØMBB

[chirp_users] UV-82 C Issue with work mode
by Jamey Gettys 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

I have set up eight BAOFENG UV-82 C radios to use in my fire department. I have locked them down in CHIRP using the work mode settings. Here is what I have done: *Advanced Settings* -Dual Watch = Enabled -Dual Watch Priority = A -All menu's = Disabled -Single PTT= Enabled *Work Mode Settings* -Display =A -VFO/MR Mode = Channel -MR A Channel = 2 -MR B Channel =1 The result is that both the "A" channel and "B" channel show on screen as expected. The users can change channel "A" with the up/Down buttons. The users can not tab down and change the "B" channel. They can press the "Tab" button and the indicator arrow will go down to "B" and immediately return to the "A" channel. All this is perfect and what I wanted to happen. The problem/issue that I do not like is this: As radio traffic is being received on the "B" channel, the user can inadvertently press the up/down buttons and change the "B" channel. This is a huge issue because they can not change it back unless traffic is received on whatever channel they accidentally changed "B" to. The "B" channel should not be allowed to change under these circumstances. If this were corrected, it would be a perfect set-up for us. Any ideas or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Got mine in today and did a test download (1st!!) and then a test change and it uploaded perfectly. I’m using the daily build of Chirp and a Mac Mini and the same cable that I use with my UV-82 and UV-82C. No worries…. :) Forrest

For those of us, namely "me", who are new to Raspberry Pi, is there a list of hardware and software to use a Raspberry Pi for radio programming ? thanks Randall _____ From: chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com [mailto:chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com] On Behalf Of Bob Boehme Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2014 10:26 AM To: 'Discussion of CHIRP' Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Linux I totally agree… Raspberry pi the only way to fly.. works great.

[chirp_users] baofeng 82 squelch on uhf
by Stan M 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

Using chirp, my squelch setting may still read setting 1 but the actual setting moves from .2 micro volts to 1 micro volt making the squelch useless. any one have any ideas why, what I thought was in firmware is changing? When I reset the radio by the menue it resets back to default up load again, the squelch changes. Seems to only affect the UHF side.
