[chirp_users] Problem Setting CTCSS Tones
by Ron Ricketts 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

I'm a new Chirp user and have probably overlooked something simple but have run into a problem I can't seem to figure out. I'm using the latest build of Chirp, daily-20130411, and am running from a Mac Mini, OS X Lion, through an FTDI USB cable. No problems communicating with the radio, an FT-817ND. I have broadbanded it so am using the generic FT-817ND template, not the US model, which doesn't seem to work with a broadbanded radio. As stated, I have loaded an image of my radio, and have successfully modified several memories. However, I am unable to make the Home channels take a different tone frequency. No matter what I put in, it remains at 88.5 and gives an error box saying "rtone not supported on this channel." The normal channels accept the Tone value without issue. I also just noticed that I can't set the Power on Home channels as well. So am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Thanks for the help, Ron WA5VFA

[chirp_users] Puxing 777 Plus shows "out of range"
by Daniel Nelson 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

When trying to either import CSV/CHIRP files or just writing the data read from the radio back to it, CHIRP tells me that my frequencies are out of range. It's a 2m radio, and it's telling me that 146.970 and 147.000 are outside of the allowed range. I tried using both the latest released version and the 20130411 nightly. I'm on OS X 10.8.2 if it matters. Does anyone have a hint as to where to look to fix this? The CSV is below: Location,Name,Frequency,Duplex,Offset,Tone,rToneFreq,cToneFreq,DtcsCode,DtcsPolarity,Mode,TStep,Skip,Comment,URCALL,RPT1CALL,RPT2CALL 1,K6MVR,147.000000,-,0.600000,TSQL,136.5,136.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 2,KE6YUV,146.970000,-,0.600000,Tone,123.0,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 3,W6AK,146.910000,-,0.600000,Tone,162.2,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 4,N1PPP,146.775000,-,0.600000,Tone,103.5,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 5,N6NMZ,146.760000,-,0.600000,Tone,131.8,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 6,N6QDY,147.255000,+,0.600000,Tone,123.0,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 9,CALLING,146.520000,,0.000000,,88.5,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 10,APRSRAW,144.390000,,0.000000,,88.5,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 11,APRSVOC,144.390000,,0.000000,TSQL,100.0,100.0,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, -- Daniel Nelson KJ6LVS http://kj6lvs.com

[chirp_users] Offset Freq Always 00.000 Baefeng UV-5R
by Jeremy J Barbouttis 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

No matter what I do, the Offset Frequencies always come out as 00.0000 on the radio, despite setting them up and showing correctly on Chirp, with relevant shift. Anyone know why that might be? Cannot change the manually either? Thanks Jeremy

[chirp_users] Issues with Chirp and Icom IC-7000
by israel Lavee 23 Apr '13

Hi I wonder if you can help me to figure out how to get access to the memory banks of the radio. I can only access bank A. I like Chirp since it works with all my other radios and it human engendering is superb. 73, Izzy 4X1UF Sent from my iPhone 5

[chirp_users] Can't receive from Icom T70A using CHIRP 0.3.1
by Dane Ronnow 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Having trouble with CHIRP and an Icom T70A HT. When I try to download from the radio, I get an error "Failed to communicate with the radio: unexpected response from the radio." The software works fine with a Baofeng UV-5R, firmware v297. Here's what I'm using: Quality FTDI cables for both radios (from Valley Enterprises). Version 2.08.28 driver for 32-bit Windows XP (from ftdichip.com). CHIRP v0.3.1. I installed the driver and software. In Device Manager, the COM port is 4 with the Icom cable; 3 with the Baofeng cable. With the Baofeng, I plugged the cable into the radio, then into the computer, turned on the radio, then launched the software. When I download from radio, I set the port to COM3, the select the radio and model. Progress bar opens and LED on the radio blinks green as the data is downloaded. I can make changes, upload, etc. All is good with the UV-5R. Basically same process with the Icom T70: I plug the cable into the radio first, then into the computer. I verify COM port in Device Manager, which is 4 with the Icom cable. I power on the radio, then launch the software. I select receive from radio, then select COM4 from the popup menu, Icom, T70. The progress bar pops up momentarily, then the error message, "Failed to communicate with the radio: unexpected response from the radio." Any ideas? I'm thinking of trying an earlier release of CHIRP, though I would hate to see the Icom able to connect, but not the Baofeng. Out of the two radios, the Baofeng is the one that needs the software programming capability the most. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Dane
