[chirp_users] Chirp's Blank Screen needs an image.
by raymond reese 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

I was wondering if some kind of Intro-Screen (a picture perhaps) might be designed for Chirp, instead of the blank screen and menu it has now. It's not really necessary, but that would add a little bit of "eye-candy". Since Chirp covers so many brands, models and types of radios, using a picture of a specific radio would be highly impractical. So, how about having a contest of some sort as a way to develop such an Intro-Image. As for a prize, just having your name associated with (or imbedded into) the image would be a worthy reward in itself, I think.

[chirp_users] file damaged or incomplete
by eric oyen 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hello again, Other issue I found was with the stable version download of 0.4.0 was in OS X. attempting to run the app gives a system UI error "the file is either incomplete or damaged". so, basically, it won't run on my OS X Lion installation. I wanted to see if the interface worked there. -eric

[chirp_users] Problem with connecting to Radio BaoFeng UV-B5
by Roger Carl 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

I read the posts on these problems. Read CHIRP FAQs. I purchased a programming cable that was for BaoFeng U5 & B5/B6 and others. I verified cable was fully inserted into radio. Did take an extra push to get fully inserted. I had a hard time finding the correct Com Port, eventually found COM3 was being used by pulling cable and watching message appear and disappear accordingly. Instructions are not clear whether to use just numeric designation (3) or full name (COM3), but neither worked. Tried installing in other USB/Com ports and received error messages" "Device Driver software was not successfully installed" - Prolific USB-to-Serial Com Port (COM4) or COM5. Do not get this error when plugged Into COM3. Notes: Using Win 7, latest version of CHIRP 3-24-2014, USB Ver 2.0 ports. What suggestions do you have? Roger

I have two questions. 1. Is version 0.4.0 the same as the last (March 24) daily build? 2. Will the new version to appear in the Ubuntu repositories soon or will we have to wait for the next version of Ubuntu? Thanks to all the developers for a great program. Tom ND5Y

Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R Frequency mod
by N4AOF 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

There ain't no sech animal. The simple FACT is that the "frequency mod" for the UV-5R is, and always has been, a total hoax. Contrary to some pitiful fake videos on Utube, it does not work. You can use Chirp or VIP to set the band limits to anything you like -- and the radio will then display any numbers you choose in the display window -- but the radio itself can only operate in a range just barely wider than the stock frequency limits. -----Original Message----- Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2014 11:38:49 -0700 (PDT) From: David A Purcell <usmc_vet(a)sbcglobal.net> Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R Frequency mod To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Message-ID: <1395686329.95453.YahooMailNeo(a)web184804.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" If you are a member of the YAHOO user group for the Baofeng UV-5R then you can download the file here: ? https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/baofeng_uv5r/files ?
