[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R menu locked
by Massimo Nespolo 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

Greetings from France. When I first got my UV-5R, the channel programming with CHIRP was performed by a friend, who locked the menu button to prevent a beginner like me to make any mistake which could have screwed the programming. Now I would like to unlock the menu, but I cannot figure out how to do it. I did quite a lot of internet research, but I could only find duplicate tutorials on how to lock the pad with the key button. That is not what I am looking for, of course. The menu button is unresponsive, I would like to unlock it. Thank you in advance for your help.

[chirp_users] Can CHIRP program a QYT 980 plus?

A buddy wants to give me a QYT. Just wondering if CHIRP can program it. It needs programming to avoid trx on illegal freqs such as NOAA. Thanks in advance K7CRL Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

[chirp_users] Adopting Chirp again
by Stuart Blake Tener 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

Dan, et alia: Thank you to eveyone that has worked so hard to make Chirp such an amazing piece of software! It has been well over a decade since I looked at using Chirp (I have used it in the past) and now am re-evaluating what software I will use for my programming needs (especially since I do far more on Linux and macOS, thus Chirp is interesting again). I see it can handle my senior citizen radios of a Kenwood TM-D700 and my ID-5100. However, conspicuously absent from the list are several radios that interest me and I am wondering if anyone can speak to the likelihood of their being supported in the near future? 1) ICOM ID-52A 2) Anytone At-D878II-PLUS (will be arriving this week 3) I may soon have an ID-51A Anniversary Edition again (which I think is basically an ID-51A Plus) If there are issues with supporting any of these radios I'd like to understand them as I am a Computer Scientist myself with some Python coding experience.

[chirp_users] uv5r driver makes mem.duplex and mem.offset immutable for gt-5r
by jackson＠f-m.fm 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

I've been using chirp for a few days and I've run into an issue. Lines 1036-1041 of uv5r.py, specifically. The radio can be put into "factory mode" (freeband mode) by starting it up while holding moni+ptt+vfo/mr but these lines in the driver preclude duplex operation outside the amateur bands. I plan on keeping it in "amateur" mode most of the time, but I would like these channels to be programmed correctly. I presume these lines exist just to prevent having an uplink frequency out of band with downlink in-band, but would it not suffice just to warn the user rather than lock these settings down? As a temporary measure, can I simply comment these lines out? FYI, switching between "factory" and "amateur" (ptt+5) modes did not appear to affect the image that chirp downloads as they both had an identical checksum. Any relevant info is appreciated. Jackson

[chirp_users] Icom IC-746Pro
by Eric Poole 23 Feb '24

23 Feb '24

Good afternoon all, from a new Chirp user. Is there a difference between the Icom IC-746 and IC-746Pro in the way it communicates from the Remote port? I downloaded and installed Chirp and tried to connect to my IC-746Pro using the Chirp IC-746 configuration, and could not connect. Tried the same thing with my IC-7300 (using the Chirp IC-7300 configuration) and it connected and programmed the memories just fine, so the cable and the computer's USB port are working as they should. I did verify that CI-V is turned on in the radio and the address is set to 0x66. (Speaking of which, how do I set the address in Chirp? Maybe that's the problem...) Thanks... Rick WA1RKT Londonderry, NH Catch me on 14.300 MHz Intercon / MMSN most days
