Download Link

Hello, could someone please send me a direct link to the Chirp download page? I need to try to update my chirp because I'm not able to paste more than the first line into the memories of my TD H3. I'm hoping an update of chirp will fix this. I go to: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download# and every instance of download takes me to a page with some freeware crap. I've gotten four or five different freeware pages trying a couple download links on this page. I'm trying to get the chirp next for windows. Thanks.

Memories Import behavior questions
by Eric 29 Jul '24

29 Jul '24

I would like to get confirmation that the "Import" of "Memories" actually works the way I think it does and that my limited testing seems to confirm. If I have a CSV file that contains more "Memories" than the radio supports, it appears that the "Import" function imports the number of entries from the file that the radios supports, where the "channel number" is valid for that radio. For example: Using a CSV file that contains entries for 999 channels (including blank channels) 1. A radio that supports 127 memory channels will import the entries from the CSV file with "channel numbers" 0-127 and ignore the entries with "channel numbers" greater than 127 2. A radio that supports 250 memory channels will import the entries from the CSV file with "channel numbers" 0-250 and ignore the entries with "channel numbers" greater than 250 3. A radio that supports 999 memory channels will import all of the channels in the CSV file. This seems to be the behavior on the radios I have tried, but I only have 4 different models of radios to test with, so I want to confirm this. Is this correct? Thanks, Eric You don't see psychotic coming Religion is for people who are afraid of hell, spirituality is for people who have already been there.

trying to paste into the main window
by K0LNY ?? 29 Jul '24

Hello All, This used to work in the old Chirp, that is, I'd open a CSV file, and copy and paste into the memories page and write to the radio. I have a TIDradio TD H3, and I exported to CSV, and pasted in stuff from other CSV files from other Chirp radios, and only two channels go into the radio. I tried to open a chirp in an old windows 7, because this still works in that Chirp, but this model is not in that version of Chirp. I'll attach the file, in case someone thinks there is a problem with the file. I have higher bands in this file, because this radio can RX these lower frequencies. Thanks for any assistance.

Is this radio compatible with chirp? I can not find it on the programming list of radios. Also is the Retevis RT3S COMPATABLE with chirp?

Bulk Radio Configuration
by Stiv Ostenberg 11 Jul '24

11 Jul '24

Howdy folks! I was wondering if anybody had worked out a way to script the creation of files for various radios based on a single master Excel CVS File. I realize this may be a complex problem given different radio capabilities, but I am hoping somebody might have a solution. I am trying to make Ham Radio easier for new users, and to keep EmComm operators up to date. I would like to edit few "Master" channel lineups, then have config files automatically generated for a pile of radios. I need to update the maps whenever changes are made to the County Emergency Communications Map, and to provide the updates to support a pile of radios. I also plan to make those files available for download for local Hams, and to offer Radio Programming for new hams at local events.

Wouxun KG-699E

Has anyone found a radio setting that will work with the Wouxun KG-699E? I know it is not in the supported list but hope it may be compatible with another Wouxun/Other radio. Thanks, Howard, VK4BS
