Thanks Peter. None of the locations are marked Skip. For reference, I've attached the img file, renamed to a bak extension so the servers don't block it. The Skip field only accepts S (Skip) or blank, there is no dropdown for Priority. The manual references that there is only one Priority channel, kept in memory location 0. No memory location 0 shows in the CHIRP file. 73 Andy From: peter.fontneau(a)icloud.com <peter.fontneau(a)icloud.com> Sent: Monday, August 7, 2023 12:58 PM To: Andy Zaayenga <andy(a)zaayenga.net>; chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: Re: [chirp_users] FTM-3100R Check to see if you have something entered in the Skip column of Chirp. https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MemoryEditorColumns Skip The scan skip mode for the channel.

Picked up a cable from BlueMax49ers to run with CHIRP. I downloaded the radio using the FTM-3200D R template as per the CHIRP home page. Downloading and uploading works fine. I copied and pasted from my Yaesu FT-60R img 63 of the frequencies I monitor that are covered by the FTM-3100R. Uploading those to the radio works fine and downloading shows them all in memory. However, I notice that when I scan all 63 frequencies the radio only scans the first 14. The display just stops on the 14th location while the numbers under MR keep counting up to 63. Then it cycles back to location 1. I have the radios side by side and the FT-60R scans all the locations while the FTM-3100R only the first 14. The specs say the radio has 199 memory locations which is consistent with the CHIRP img * 199 "basic" memory channels, numbered "1" through "199". But the CHIRP image doesn't show the home channel or any of the L or U locations. * A "Home" channel, providing storage and quick recall of one prime frequency. * 10 sets of band-edge memories, also known as "Programmable Memory Scan" channels, labeled "L0/U0" through "L9/U9". Does anyone out there have an FTM-3100R and can let me know if I'm doing something wrong? I'm wondering if there's some issue with the FTM-3200D R template WRT the FTM-3100R.

[chirp_users] Legacy support question--Programming Talkpod A36+
by Jim Pruitt 07 Aug '23

07 Aug '23

I am still using the last legacy version of Chirp. I just acquired a Talkpod A36+ but can't find how to program it manually and hooking it up to Chirp can not talk to the radio but Talkpod is not in the list. I tried Baofeng UV5R but that did not work. Has anyone else programmed the Talkpod A36+ using Chirp? I tried searching for programming instructions to do it manually but all hits were to a youtube video and used Chirp. Thank you. Jim Pruitt

[chirp_users] Programming ICOM IC-7100
by Michael Nadler KI7QIB 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

I cannot get CHIRP to properly program an ICOM 7100. Can someone provide the explicit steps they use to program their ICOM IC-7100? Computer, running Windows 10, is connected to the 7100's Remote port via USB cable. CHIRP works fine programming a Kenwood D710G in live mode. I'm following the same steps: - Download from the radio - use "help me" to find the com port - set Vendor/model to ICOM/IC-7100 - tab opens with a copy of what's programmed in the radio - Import from file... - select the CSV file with several hundred entries - click Import - random channels are programmed; others show red numbers, which is an error indication Can no longer download from radio -- the program reports "permission error". I have to restart CHIRP in order to download from the radio. After the restart and download, if I use cut/paste to update say 20 entries -- entries are programmed randomly -- same result as with import. I've searched the mail archives -- some people report problems, tentative solutions are proposed (without documenting specific steps), but no one posts any resolution. This radio programs perfectly with RT Systems software. But their software uses clone mode, not live mode. -- Michael Nadler KI7QIB

[chirp_users] Interesting item with Baofeng GT-5R, others? Duplex setting
by Ken Hansen 30 Jul '23

30 Jul '23

Hello all, I programmed my GT-5R with CHIRP-Next and all was fine, except when I tried to program a simplex channel in my radio to access my SHARI AllstarLink node. In the memory tab, I set "Duplex" to "off", as the logical choice among "+", "-", "split", and "off". But when I tried to transmit after loading that channel into my radio, it would not transmit (no RF, display color didn't change). So I went in, looked hard at the settings, and discovered there was another option lurking in plain sight - " " (blank). When I selected (blank) and loaded the radio with the modified channel, it worked fine (TX as expected, in simplex). If I look at the (actually pretty good) GT-5R manual that shipped with the radio, it says I have three choices for that field, menu item 25, SFT-D: "OFF [0]" TX = RX (simplex) "+ [1]" TX higher than RX freq "- [2]" TX lower than RX freq There's no mention of "split" or "off". In short, the only valid options appear to be "-", "+", and "off", which I guess could be set to " " (blanks). I just thought I'd share this here, I'll open an issue on the chirp-next website to get this fixed. Ken, N2VIP

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-65 No upload, not a CSV tab issue - Download OK
by Peter.jay12 30 Jul '23

30 Jul '23

I’ve scanned several monthly archives for "FT-65" and separately for “upload”. The only reports I can find is that users are trying to upload a CSV tab (a common problem) and not the tab downloaded from the radio. I’ve added my channels to the FT-65 download tab and still no joy uploading. Im using a Mac OS Ventura 13.5 and an RTsystems (ZRT-USB-55) with current drivers (verified with tech support) working in the Mac. Chirp downloads from the radio without any issue. I see both TX and RX displayed on the radio and CLONE OK but no changes are made to the memory locations. I’ve reset the radio to factory defaults and made only a single change to a memory channel in Chirp to limit any input error without success. Probably something simple but I just don’t see it. Any thoughts?

I am getting an error "Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want." Has anyone else seen this? I checked the FAQ's and looked through issues and the archives but didn't find anything. Maybe I missed something? Any help would be appreciated.
