[chirp_users] Schedule for Support of Radios
by KG4RUL 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

I am the Emergency coordinator for our County ARES. I have the following radios that need to have a common set of frequencies programmed into them: VX-5R - Supported FT-857D - Supported FT-897D - Not Supported FT-8800R - Supported FT-7900R - Not Directly Supported (Programs as an FT-7800R) FT-2800M - Supported TS-2000(x) - Not Supported KG-UV6X - Not Supported FT-60R - Supported I have long said the ALL radio manufacturers should be required to have a common dataset for programming their radios. Lo and Behold, I have found CHIRP! If the not supported radios listed above could be added, my life would be so much easier! While I do not have spare radios to loan, I can willingly be a Beta Tester. TNX Dennis, KG4RUL

TS2000(x) Tom has a prototype driver for this and has been looking for people to help test. http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/217 I went to this page and attempted to get to the/*Load Module*/ feature as was instructed, but that option was not visible. I then went to the/*Help*/ drop-down and checked/*Enable Developer Functions*/. Then, going to the/*View*/ drop-down, the/*Developer Functions*/ option remains greyed out. So, how do I enable CHIRP developer mode? Dennis, KG4RUL

[chirp_users] Alinco Users...
by Dan Smith 22 Jul '12

22 Jul '12

Hi all, It has been quite a while since I wrote the Alinco drivers (DRx35) and I don't quite recall some of the behavior. A user is trying to program a DR235 and having trouble getting any data from the radio. Does the radio have to be in clone mode prior to download? Are there any other tricks that may be necessary before it will work? I seem to recall it being rather straightforward, but it's been a while. Thanks for any feedback you can provide... -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] skipping channels

Hi Marco, I was able to verify on my radio that the skip function is being set to "ONLY" which affects "Preferential Memory Scan". The other options are "OFF" and "SKIP" in that menu.

Hi Marco, When I export to csv it does insert the S for skip into the file. I'll have to learn how to check the radio itself to see if the skip is selected or not. That would answer if it was an unsupported feature in chirp or not. I'm using a yaesu FT-60 handheld. When you describe the special channels it sounds like you are talking about ones we can't transmit on? Like listening to the burger king radio? I've seen the frequencies for my area published but wondered just what use they would be. Alan, I wasn't sure what you were asking but it sounds like you are using windows 7 and don't have the usb driver installed? I don't know anything about windows 7 since I am a macintosh user but perhaps you could get the appropriate driver from the same place I did. http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm Dave kc7hpt KC7HPT

[chirp_users] field questions
by dave calhoun 20 Jul '12

20 Jul '12

I just started using chirp and it works great. I have two questions though. I want to skip over some channels while in scan mode. I put an "S" in the skip field assuming that's what it meant but it does not skip. My second question is regarding special channels checkmark. What does this do?
