[chirp_users] need some info re th-f6a
by Guy Teague 06 Oct '12

06 Oct '12

hi folks: i looked through the chirp site before posting this, but didn't find much specific. i see there was an issue/bug opened for the th-f6a reporting as a th-f6 and my daily build of chirp (i might be a couple of 'days' behind) reports as such, but the bug appears to have been resolved about 8-12 months ago. it was Bug #19: TH-F6A support not working in recent builds. it appears everything else (with the below exceptions) seems to work as expected, but i don't have any comparison to bump against. anyway, the first thing i did since this radio works with chirp completely unlike any of my other radios in a sort of 'real time' mode (it almost seems like virtual control is already 95% working and i was surprised that it wasn't implemented nor was a menu config function) was to read the radio and export out to csv. but i don't understand what the last 3 columns are: | URCALL |, | RPT1CALL | and | RPT2CALL |. granted, it's a new radio and my first kenwood in many years, but i've been through the manual pretty thoroughly twice now and did a google search as well and can't come up with any info on these columns. it could always be some function(s) that i would never use and i glossed over them. also, on a more serious note, when i tried to import some info from one of my other radios (after formatting it for the f6a), chirp refused to process the lines that had mode as 'FMN'. at first i was surprised as i had (ass)umed that the kenwood would do narrow fm, and in fact it does support nfm, but not at the same time as regular fm--a disappointing fact but at least the mode is there to activate. i think this would be an easy fix in that i could just change all instances of NFM to FM in my csv file, but i was curious as to why chirp would not recognize this mode from this radio? thanks! /guy (73 de kg5vt)

Hi Does anyone know how to wire a cable for connecting and downloading for this rig. I believe maybe a serial connector from PC to a modular connector maybe all that is needed but I could be wrong, and don't want to chance damaging the rig. Marty kd8bj

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-20121005 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #118 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [uv5r] Initial stab at support for firmware version 291 Note that at least one rebranded version of the radio has been reported not to work with this just yet. Some minimal testing has been done by someone with one of these devices and it looks like this support works without any trouble, and at least isn't harmful. Proceed with caution and please report success or failure on bug #314: http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/314

Look at http://www.wouxun.com. Click on the KG-UV6D on the left bar. Scroll down and you'll see they list 8 variations of frequency ranges. -------Original Message------- From: Guy Teague [accts(a)gtweb.org] Date: Sun, Sep 23, 2012 To: Discussion of CHIRP [chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com] Reply To: Discussion of CHIRP [chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com] Subject: Re: [chirp_users] how to respond on /issues/ page tks tom. i didn't even realize that folks not working the project could register. i've registered now. so are you saying that the frequency range of the uv6x model is or is not worth adding as a comment to the feature request i cited? i do realize there are at least a half-dozen, if not more, variations on the uv6d--i nearly got caught by that myself when i got the uv6d, but lucked out by getting the 420-520 range. in any case, the version sold by powerwerx as the uv6x is a very popular variant (i liked the uv6d so much i added the uv6x as a second unit) and i hadn't seen that particular freq range in any of the other models. i think powerwerx works directly with wouxon so that they can offer a unique variation. thanks, /guy (73 de kg5vt) On Sun, Sep 23, 2012 at 7:25 PM, Tom Hayward <esarfl(a)gmail.com> wrote: On Sun, Sep 23, 2012 at 6:20 PM, Guy Teague <accts(a)gtweb.org> wrote: > http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/285 > > Feature #285 | Wouxun.us KG-UV6D Frequencies | Added by Chuck Burton 23 days > ago. > > and wanted to find a way to comment on it or respond and i couldn't figure > out how to do it.

This request is for Chirp to differentiate the multitude of KG-UV6 variants so that Chirp accepts the same frequency range as the radio.

The download page seems to have version 0.2.3, and that evidently doesn't have the capability. From where can I get the newer versions? This is precisely the kind of thing that needs to be documented - along with exactly how to use it. Anyone who's a newcomer to this software, and wanted to use RR data, would ask very similar questions, I'm sure. Thanks for the help ... Mike
