The Icom IC-T8A is currently not listed among the supported radios. Is there any likelihood that it will be added? 73 de K7BAW Barry Winters

[chirp_users] power settings
by Harrison Cooper 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

New on the list..and not sure where the archives are. So, just asking the question. I have downloaded and installed CHIRP daily-20120919 and the descriptions for the columns doesn't appear to be up to date in the CHIRP guide. For example, there are more columns that are not shown in the guide, ie URCALL (assume my callsign) and RPT1CALL and RPT2CALL (what are these?) and digital code. What appears to be missing is the power level setting, that is shown in the guide yet is missing in the program. Is there a better place to be looking for this information?

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-1500M?
by Frank Howell 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

The Yaesu FT-1500M is not covered by bob freeth g4hfq in his FT models...a recent e-mail indicates that this is not forthcoming either. The ONLY other alternative is the expensive ($50) RT Systems software which is tied to their unique cable. Any potential for getting the 1500M covered under CHIRP? Frank ---- Frank M.

[chirp_users] Use on VX5r
by Marty Hartwell 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

Hi I am a new member to the Chirp user group and have a question. I have downloaded Chirp to Xubuntu 12.04 using Synaptic Package Manager and set it up to try to work with the VX5R. I get an error message after trying to connect. The connection is via a USB to serial adapter which has worked before with the rig. The software is configured to use ttyUSB0 which is correct, I see that /dev/ttyUSB0 has permissions of: crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Sep 23 17:22 /dev/ttyUSB0 So I put myself in the dialout group as such: dialout:x:20:marty and have rebooted the machine a couple of times since that time. First is the entry in group correct, my login id is marty? Second has anyone else had this problem with VX5R rigs. The version of Chirp I am using is 0.1.12, I just loaded it yesterday sometime. On another not, I have a system running Win XP and loaded Chirp on it too and am getting much the same response. Only on that system I was connecting via serial port. I was able to connect and download and modify using Vx5 Commander and EVE, not very well mind you but it did work. Any ideas. Marty kd8bj

[chirp_users] OS X drivers for TH-D72
by Rory Burke 22 Sep '12

22 Sep '12

The programming cable for a TH-D72 is a regular USB Type A - Mini USB cable. CHIRP doesn't recognize the radio is plugged in to the computer. Is there a driver necessary? Is so, where do I find it? Thanks & 73, Rory - K5MBH Sent from my iPhone

[chirp_users] ID-880H Macintosh interconnectivity
by Mike Hannibal 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hi, I'm new to Chirp and I'm trying to get the Macintosh talking to the ID-880H. I suspect my problems are my old Belkin USB-serial adapter. I have some specific questions - and for clarity my OS is 10.8.1 Can you use the Icom OPC-1529R cable with Chirp and a USB-serial adapter? If not which cable do I use - is it the Icom OPC-478UC and if so does this work without any drivers on the Mac OS? I'm not after cheap eBay cables - just reliable connectivity. If I can use the OPC-1529R then does anyone have a USB-serial adapter which they are using on Mac OS 10.8.x with that cable which works well? If so which one? I'm keen to get this working with the Mac - thanks to Dan and the team for the software. I don't need the "cheapest" solution here, I just need one that is reliable and known to work. I do not want to use a Windows emulator. Just with respect to a current discussion on the list about Mac where it was suggested it is a "boutique platform" - I'm not sure that you can say that about the biggest selling laptop platform in the US for the last quarter ;) Regards Mike VK3ZMH
