On new radios I always download it's image then upload that image just to make sure both ways work before customizing the image. This takes most guesswork from troubleshooting if a problem does occur. Milton Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

Re: [chirp_users] Successfully programming BF8HP with CHIRP

Hi, I've been using CHIRP to download/upload programming images to my BaoFeng BF8HP since I got it a few weeks ago. I use the BF8HP field selection in the radio upload/download window and haven't had any problems. I obviously use the most recent build and update with the most recent daily build, and again no problems. Personally I always download the programming image first, make changes, then save the changes and upload the programming. This way I know the link and software are working by downloading first, and this (maybe I'm wrong about this) way I'm not altering the radio first. Just some positive feedback.

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20150210 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #324 [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] Fixup wouxun radio settings There was a small issue with the construction the top level radio settings group for some of the wouxun radios. This attempts to resolve that. Bug #2285

[chirp_users] Are Baofeng & Wouxun FCC compliant?
by Bob Fk 21 Mar '15

21 Mar '15

Recently here in Oz, there have been a number of Chinese radios use by Marine Rescue people, confiscated by ACMA officers claiming interference potential and the usual BS. ACMA in Oz is similar to FCC in the US. I notice my Wouxun complies with FCC part 15 but cannot find a similar statement in the Baofeng manual. I believe as amateurs (full calls) we are allowed to build our own gear so I assume we, the licensed operator, are responsible for complying with licensing requirements and are not limited to commercial, type approved, expensive equipment. I would assume Australian laws would be similar to US laws in this respect. How would this issue affect non Ham users, i.e. CB, Commercial, Civil Defence, Volunteer Fire & Rescue organisations etc? -- 73 Bob, *VK2BYF *

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20150321 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #341 [Richard Cochran <ag6qr(a)sonic.net>] [ft2900] Fix cross tone when channel entered via Radio panel (#2445) This submission makes FT-2900 cross tone support more robust, and protects against a problem where the radio would sometimes use the high order bit of the tone and/or DTCS code field as a bit flag. The code had been using the entire byte as an index into the TONES or DTCS_CODES array, and when the high order bit was set, the value was too high by 128, resulting an array bounds error. Fix is to alter MEM_FORMAT to separate the high order bit flags from the lower 7 bit tone and code fields. This also adds some error checking via a "try" block to catch any remaining array bounds errors (though none are expected). And it adds code which attempts to set those bit flags the way the radio would have set them, even though the flags seem to have no effect on the way the radio transmits or receives. Thanks to Chris Fosnight for finding and reporting the problem. [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] [chirpc] Allow deleting an already empty memory On some radio (eg ft817) empty channels can contain valid data, deleting again such a memory usually clean data Improves #2343 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] [chirpc] Allow memnum arg to be a string to access special channels Special channels are identified by extd_number which can be a string Improves #2343 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] [chirpc] Add --list-special-mem Add to chirpc the capability to list special channels if any The string memory representation have been changed to print the extd_number when present instead of number Improves #2343

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20150318 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #340 [Richard Cochran <ag6qr(a)sonic.net>] [ft2900] Support cross tones (#2433) This patch adds support for cross tones to the FT2900/FT1900 driver. It allows all combinations of CTCSS and DTCS for transmit and receive, including using one CTCSS tone for sending, and a different CTCSS tone for receiving. This also includes a minor change to memedit.py, to support the proper column hiding/unhiding for TSQL-R. The TSQL-R is "reverse tone squelch", and has the same data, and thus the same columns shown/hidden, as in ordinary TSQL. But on TSQL-R, the radio behavior is different. Squelch is broken only if the tone does NOT match the stored tone.
