[chirp_users] Yaesu vx-170
by Joseph E. Rouillier III 31 Mar '21

All Thank you for taking your time to look at this issue. I have a Yaesu VX-170 that I came across. Once I got it home I did a reset on the radio to bring it back to factory defaults. Next I tried reading the radio from Chirp, (Download from Radio). That fails no matter what I try it will not download the file from the radio. The radio almost immediately shows error after pressing push to talk seeing TX. and then in chirp I see Failed to communicate with radio: Failed to read header (0) Attached is the Debug. Also just for testing I got a VX-170 file from a friend and tried to download it to the radio also had errors. As soon as I get the radio into RX Chip shows a error indicating Radio did not ack block at 0 the radio screen never shows error it continues to show RX. See attached Debug.log file. Note I tested the cable to see if it was the problem borrowed a friends cable as well, both cables same issue, and both cables successfully program an FT-60 and my friend is able to read/write his VX-170 with his cable and my cable and he sees the same errors as I do when trying my radio. I tested the jack with a speaker mic to make sure the jack seems to be working correctly, speaker mic work fine can RX and TX. Finally in desperation I removed the battery and opened the little cover under the battery and confirmed the radio was modded by someone removing the 1 0 ohm resistor, and it looks like it only had 1 resistor as the 2nd upper one looks to clean as if it was never there from the factors. I believe the MOD is Expanded RX or TX I do not recall as I've never needed to perform the mod was aware of it from researching the radio itself. Thanks for any assistance. Attaced is the debug file that should contain both Download and Upload from Radio failures.

Hello List, I'm confused. I have added the sources for Chirp daily snapshot to Debian Stable. I install chirp. I ask chirpw --version and I get: CHIRP daily-20201221 on Linux - Debian GNU/Linux 10 (Python 2.7.16) when I try to install again, wajig install chirp-daily install chirp-daily Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done chirp-daily is already the newest version (20210310~xenial~1). How do I get the newest chirp? 73 David N1EA

[chirp_users] Support for Radioddity GS-5B?
by babj615 29 Mar '21

I do not see the Radioddity GS-5B listed on the roadmap, or anywhere else on the CHIRP webpage. Will there not be support for this radio? I have been using CHIRP with my BaoFeng radio with great success, wish to also use it with my new Radioddity GS-5B. Thank You! -- *///*Andy

[chirp_users] lock out transmit freqs
by Christopher Arthur 27 Mar '21

27 Mar '21

I am setting up a number of BF UV-5 for a mixed batch of ham-licensed and non-licensed users. Using MURS and GMRS for most of the of the users, but i need to lock out everything else (eg. US weather service). at the same time, we will have a couple of ham repeaters for several of us licensed operators. How can I selectively disable transmit function in CHIRP? Can't find anything in the miniature hard-to-read BF manual. "I can think of no more stirring symbol of man's humanity to man than a fire engine..." (Kurt Vonnegut)

[chirp_users] FT-70D Port for Mac
by Lawrence Underwood 27 Mar '21

27 Mar '21

I am on a MacBook Pro 13 running 11.2.3. When I attempt to download the radio to Chirp the port that is auto populated is /dev/cu/.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port. When I put the radio into ADMS mode and attempt to download it I get ‘ERROR’ on the radio and a message stating that the radio did not respond on Chirp. I am using the cable supplied by Yaesu. Any ideas on how to get the radio to communicate with Chirp? Thanks.
