[chirp_users] CHIRP runs on Windows 11
by Jim Unroe 30 Jun '21

30 Jun '21

I just confirmed that CHIRP is running on the leaked Windows 11 Pro 64-bit preview. I am using a generic 6-in-1 programming cable with Prolific USB-to-Serial chip. I have installed the Prolific v3. 2. 0. 0 driver but the Prolific v3. 8. 39. 0 auto installed by W11 is currently selected and working. Jim KC9HI

[chirp_users] " Python-future package" on Mac;
by Craig Hayes 30 Jun '21

30 Jun '21

Hello, I’m having trouble with Chirp on my Mac ( 10.13 High Sierra but same problem on Mojave ) and my new Anytone AT-778UV VOX. The radio model is not in the drop down menu. If I launch Chirp from the shell script I get this warning in the terminal; WARNING: python-future package is not available; chirp.drivers.anytone778uv requires it I guess this explains why I don’t see the radio entry in the menu. I tried installing future via pip, everything appeared to work but still no luck. Anybody encounter this problem? Any hints on where to look for a solution? Thanks, Craig

I have a PX-888 radio, a Chirp supported cable, and a Windows 10 computer.The radio is a PX-888, NOT a PX-888K.I am having trouble programming the radio. When I upload or download, the data gets garbled. Data does send both directions, but with errors.The exact model of my radio is not listed in Chirp, it lists a PX-777, and a PX888K.Please help.

[chirp_users] Help with new radio
by Thomas Williams 27 Jun '21

27 Jun '21

Hi all, I have an issue with my new UV-5X. (shocking) The firmware version is P51UV01 and CHIRP will not communicate with the radio. My COM port is 3, the radio is a baofeng and the model is UV-5X The CHIRP message is "Rado did not respond" Tried a bunch of baofeng models and got the same response. Downloaded the baofeng software and it reads the radio fine. I can make changes from the keypad of the radio and they show up in the baofeng software when I redownload from the radio. This also works when I use the software to make changes and write the changes to the radio. It appears CHIRP doesn't work with this firmware update. Please correct me if I am wrong, as I am often wrong. This setup is working for me but I prefer CHIRP.

[chirp_users] Kenwood TH-K20 and Mac
by Jim McGarvie 26 Jun '21

The CHIRP website says it supports the TH-K2, so that is what I selected when I attempted to program my TH-K20A with my Mac, but it didn’t work. It would not download the data from the radio. I tried with both RT’s USB-K4Y and the FTDI cable, but no joy. Is there anyway to use CHIRP on a Mac to program the TH-K20A? Thanks. Jim

No features or settings have been modified, added or removed by this patch. related to #7179 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT16] Add support for Retevis RT16 This patch adds support for the RT16 variant of the Baofeng BF-T8 related to #8263 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [VX-8DR] Update TX Delay choices for Yaesu VX-8DR The Yeasu VX-8DR inherits much of its settings from the Yaesu VX-8R. The VX-8DR has 9 choices for TX Delay but the inherited setting for the VX-8R only has 7. So if either of the additional choices is selected in the VX-8DR radio itself, the choice will be out-of-range and the Settings tab in CHIRP does not display. This patch adds support for the 9 TX Delay selections for the VX-8DR. Related to #9101 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [GT-5R] Fix TX-Inhibit Outside of Legal Limits The current enforcement only allows TX on the following frequencies. 144.000, 148.000, 420.000 and 450.000 MHz. This patch corrects the logic to allow TX on frequencies within the 144.000-148.000 MHz and 420.000-450.000 MHz ranges. Frequencies outside of these ranges are set to Duplex = "off" (TX disabled).

It was eventually discovered that the radio was eventually missing an ACK at some point during the download which stopped the cloning process with an error. This patch adds a small delay between the reading a block of data an the sending of the ACK back to the radio indicating that the block of data was received OK. The original RT22 radio now receives every ACK reliably. related to #9043

[chirp_users] Download problem
by Gerald Stein 08 Jun '21

08 Jun '21

I’m new to Chirp software. The equipment I’m using is a Yaesu FT 60 and a windows 10 laptop. I acquired the cable sometime ago, but haven’t used it until recently. The build I am using is the most recent available. Here’s the problem: I connected the radio to the laptop and uploaded the radio’s contents without problem. I made some changes to the repeaters listed, saved the changes, and then tried to download them back to the radio. The download started normally, but quickly the following error message appeared: “failed to communicate with radio: radio did not respond.” Any suggestions? Thanks and advance for your efforts.

[chirp_users] Two issues...
by Kenneth G. Gordon 03 Jun '21

03 Jun '21

1) We are unable to program two supposedly-Baofeng-made hand-helds: A) one labeled UV-5R5, concerning which I can find almost no information on the web at all. Firmware (by Button 3) is BFB297. Searching the CHIRP website, I find that that particular firmware is an issue, and has been reported as a bug from at least 8 years ago. Using the standard UV-5R choice in CHIRP results in an error message "No response from radio". And B) one labled UV-5R-V2+. again, we can find no info on how to program this radio other than a cryptic note which stated that it will not transmit in the 2 meter ham band below 145 MHz., which at this point is of no concern to us. 2) As recently as a day or two ago, I found, somewhere on the web, a very extensive listing of these sorts of hand-helds and their equivalent and/or re-labeled clones by many makers including Baofeng. Since that time, I have lost it and can no longer find it. Does anyone here know what I am talking about and where I might find that list again? I thought I found it originally on the CHIRP website, but searching there since does not bring it up. At the time, I saw no need for it, but since then, I find it has become very important to ouir operations here. By "we", "our", and "us", I mean myself and a small group of EMCOMMs operators in our area. I have become the defacto "technical guru" for the group. Any help out there? Thanks, and vy 73 for now, Ken W7EKB

My issues with the UV-5R5 have been solved. When I first tried to program those radios, I was at a friend's home (he owns the radios) and was using his cable and his version of CHIRP. When I returned to my shop and tried programming those radios, I was using my own cable and my version of CHIRP which is the latest one. I always go to the CHIRP site and download and install the latest version before I begin to program any radio which uses CHIRP. No errors occurred and it worked just fine. My cable is an FTDI, while his is...not... Thanks for the help, folks. vy 73, Ken W7EKB

Interesting. My the programming in CHIRP for my UV-5R stores/saves the offsets, but CHIRP is not "doing the math" or storing/saving the offsets with the GT-5R. From what I'm seeing, it's on the software side, not the radio side. After downloading the GT-5R's memory after a complete reset, I enter programming info for the radio, save it, close and reopen the file, and the offset field is set to "off".

[chirp_users] Chirp, Mac, and Yaesu Ft-60R
by Frank Kohn 30 May '21

Hi, I am having a difficult time setting up Chirp to work with my FT-60R. I am running an older Macbook pro with OS X High Sierra 10.13.6. I have two USB/FTDI cables, one by Valley Enterprises and one by Maxtop. It worked before, but after updating to Chirp Daily-20210520, I get error codes. I checked for the installed driver in Terminal and have ( 170 0 0xffffff7f833ed000 0x7000 0x7000 com.FTDI.driver.FTDIUSBSerialDriver (2.4.4) B137605C-32D8-3E81-89B6-E1F8039FC427). However, this driver does not show up in Chirp. I only see: /dev/cu./usbserial-AL0657ZO and another for Bluetooth. I was able to load an old Chirp image, but it was difficult to arrange and reorder repeaters imported from Repeaterbook. Chirp stalled, and, when I checked my Mac, it indicated the software wasn't responding. I would appreciate any help anyone can provide. After programming the FT-60R, I would also like to use Chirp to program my Yaesu FT-857D. 73, Frank Kohn W3MHP

Hello, First, I'm not sure if I've missed something in my research, so I apologize if I'm asking an obvious question. I recently purchased a Baofeng GT-5R and tried to program it with Chirp. What I've noticed is that whether I import repeater settings or input them manually, Chirp is not saving the offsets. Instead, it's listing all of them as "off". I have used Chirp to program a UV-5R without any problems. I can enter repeater information manually, but if I download the data from the radio, the offsets also reset to "off". Thanks for your suggestions. 73, Steve, N0XVZ -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

[chirp_users] GT-3TP, suddenly cannot connect to radios, W10 v1903

Today it's chirp-daily-20210520-installer.exe I have two known good cloning cables that worked previously. Same results. I'm using BF-F8HP type as always. I've tried two different COM ports, CHIRP sees both. The first time I tried this morning, Upload to Radio keyed the trx on the HT, solid carrier until I turned the HT off. That's a clue to me that something odd is up. My next step is to install CHIRP on a different laptop and try there. Anybody BTDT? Reno in Texas Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

I have a wonderful Icom R10 that has not yet had support added in Chirp. I did find the request on the tracker to add that, and both I and another user have offered loaners. I am aware that this is a volunteer project but was wondering if there is any way I can step up and offer my rig as a loaner to get the support added? The issue's been open for quite a while and was just wondering if there is anything I can do that might get it added sooner rather than later. Thanks for all you do. -- Matty KC4YLV

[chirp_users] Comment field limits?
by Leverett A.J. 'Jim' Hadlow Sr 22 May '21

22 May '21

Programming a Baofeng BFF8-HP: I noticed when the Comments field is populated, I am unable to use a properly programmed repeater. When I clear all the comments from the field, reset the radio to factory settings, then reprogram with CSV (cleared of comments), the repeater function is as expected. Reprogramming via CHIRP without resetting the radio to factory settings does NOT clear the problem. Is there a limit to the number of characters the comments field can hold or are there certain characters (comma, open/close parens, underscore, dash, slash, question mark, decimal/period, space, equal sign, digits?) one shouldn't enter there?

Thanks to all who assisted. Knowing that taking multiple paths through the terminal window might be a bit much for my meager abilities, I found a GUI approach, and added the repository advised on the website in the "software sources" tool, then used the synaptic package manager to install and (a few days later) update. This is all in Linux Mint 20.1. I may see what update options are available to me in Mint's regular software manager, as my way isn't exactly seamless, but it does work.

[chirp_users] Linux newbie looking for a GUI update solution

One more shot here. I initially downloaded and (somehow) installed the flatpak version. It works. I have cloned two radios with it. It just tells me it would like to be updated, and I can't figure out how to do it. Nothing in my right-click quiver will open the new flatpak. It just sits there in my downloads folder. I've had competent users walk me through the steps on the web page, but they didn't work. At some point, should I uninstall what I have, keeping the couple of .img files I've generated, and try to install either through the software manager, or should I grab what is offered in the Synaptic Package Manager perhaps? I have a screen shot of that, but it occurs to me that I have never seen anyone post a pic to this list. If it's ok, let me know, and I'll show what is available to me in the package manager.

Then when selecting the Port type and number, it only offers serial ports /dev/ttyS0 thru 31, and no USB ports. All thoughts and help greatly appreciated? Many thanks and 73,

Just recently started using Chirp. When I go to settings the whole column is blank, I have looked all over the internet and have found nothing that helps. I am asking if there is any help available? Thank you! Joe McBride

[chirp_users] Fail Install CHIRP on Slackware
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 09 May '21

Hello Discussion, Running SLINT, Slackware International, based on Slackware 14.2. I cannot install chirp because there is no libxml2mod.

[chirp_users] Errno 13 on activating radio clone, plus Permission denied.
by Roger M0ROJ 09 May '21

09 May '21

Just installed CHIRP-daily 20210429 to use with my Yaesu FTM3207D (FTM-3200D on menu). When connecting the radio to the laptop (Linux Ubuntu 20.04) and starting CLONE I keep on receiving an error message errno-13 regardless of which ttysx I select. It also tells me permission denied. And so no connection made. Which permission needs changing and how please? There's no provision for that within the CHIRP software, that I can see. If its a Linux permission for the software (which I doubt), then why does the CHIRP software function in other respects? Help would be appreciated, please? Thanks and 73,

[chirp_users] UV-82 bricked?
by Michal Smialowski 05 May '21

05 May '21

I have a Baofeng UV-82 that was programmed, I downloaded the codeplug, added a frequency then uploaded the new codeplug to the radio. When I went to turn the radio back on, there was only a faint display visible on the top line. It looks like a series of black rectangles. Doesn't go beyond that, no channel, no frequency, none of the keys respond. I tried taking the battery out and turning it back on... no help. Tried downloading front the radio... nothing. Is the radio bricked or is there something else that I can try ? tnx Mike VE7SML

[chirp_users] Fwd: Running CHIRP on a mobile phone
by Valerij T 04 May '21

04 May '21

Hi my friend! You received this letter because you are in the chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com mailing list. We use the CHIRP program to work with our radios. This great program can run on Windows, Linux, MAC OS. But I would like to be more mobile and run CHIRP on my phone. Imagine how cool it would be! I want to start with one radio, Baofeng UV-5R. Because I have it and I can test the application with one. New devices will be added according to my ability and ability to test this application. I will trust that I will succeed. To be honest, I'm not an expert in mobile app development. But I will become one! And developing CHIRP for a smartphone would be a good practice that would benefit everyone. I would like to write such an application and would appreciate any help with this. If you can help me with this development, please contact me by email. P.S. If the Admin is reading this and wants to make a separate mailing list for this question, I would greatly appreciate it. If this happens, I will post a new link topic. This way we will avoid spam. Best regards, Valerij T.

My wife's mascara suggests that it will make her lashes 4 mm longer, and my mountain bike handlebars are 400 mm ;-) Little-by-little, day-by-day... ...though there are some adjustments...I am in the US, but have been using SI since the 1970s. I had to go to Canada to buy metric tape measures and folding rules. When I say that my HF antenna is a 40 m EF wire, I get a lot of hams here thinking at first that I have a wire dedicated to 40 m, not a wire 40 m long. I find metric so much easier in so many areas of my life, not least radio. ~R~ 72/73 de Rich NE1EE The Dusty Key On the banks of the Piscataqua On 2021-05-03 08:24:-0500, you wrote: >Harr!! > >On Sun, May 2, 2021 at 7:12 PM Chaplain Dave Sparks <<mailto:dsparks@pobox.com>dsparks(a)pobox.com> wrote: >Well, you know what they say about the metric nerds: > >"Give them 25.4 mm. and they'll take 1.6 km."

[chirp_users] Update a Flatpak?

Good afternoon, all. I have used chirp in the past, but I have a new install of Mint Cinnamon 20.1. I have installed the previous version of Chirp, but just became aware that a new version is available. I cannot remember how I got the flatpak to install initially (must have been easy) and I cannot see how to update it. The built in flatpak manager in mint is not an option when I right click the file in my downloads. Hope I have not muddled my question too much. 73, Steve Sent from ProtonMail for iOS

[chirp_users] Kenwood TK-760G-1 unable to read in Ubuntu 20.04, able to read/write in Windows 10
by Michael Carson 26 Apr '21

26 Apr '21

I have 2 Kenwood TK-760G-1 radios (eBay special, pulls) that are exhibiting the same symptoms. First I tried reading them in Linux - I use this system for programming other, unrelated, radios, so it's my go-to, and it failed. (Details below) It says "Radio Ident Successful", then errors out with "The radio send 28 bytes, we need 258". (Which error I could *swear* I've seen here before and will feel really dumb when someone points me to the already discussed fix.) The radio does go into "PC" mode, per the display. Puzzled, I then obtained a copy of the Kenwood software, KPG-56D v4.22. Installed, plugged in the cable, found the COM port and...it worked like a champ. More puzzled, I grabbed chirp for Windows, installed, and it worked fine. Able to read and write to the radio Tried it again in Ubuntu, no joy. Some details: jounalctl info when I insert the cable: Apr 19 21:57:08 xps13 kernel: usb 1-2: new full-speed USB device number 24 using xhci_hcd Apr 19 21:57:08 xps13 kernel: usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=067b, idProduct=2303, bcdDevice= 3.00 Apr 19 21:57:08 xps13 kernel: usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Apr 19 21:57:08 xps13 kernel: usb 1-2: Product: USB-Serial Controller Apr 19 21:57:08 xps13 kernel: usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.

If I have the serial monitor running, Chirp instead gives the error "Error reading data from radio", so I don't have much faith that it's actually giving good data.

I'd like to get this working in Linux and also understand what's going on. Thank you for your time & attention, C.

[chirp_users] UV-S9 Volume issue

Programmed my NEW Baofeng UV-S9 about an hour ago for the first time, upon completion, upload and restart, I noticed I had no volume. I plugged in the provided earpiece to check if it was the radio and I had sound in the earpiece but not on the radio speaker. Please advise. Thanks

[chirp_users] Q: Baofeng GT-5R (new, 'legal,' model)
by Ken Hansen 18 Apr '21

18 Apr '21

Hello, New to group, searched past 4 months of maillist archives, no obvious discussion about this radio there, so I'm posting here. This new radio is a 'cleaned-up' and TX Freq-limited version of the ever-popular UV-5R - it has as its selling features TX hard-limited to 2m & 70cm US ham bands and claims to have been 'cleaned up' regarding spurious emissions. My issue is, it different from classic UV-5R, so while I can do basic programming I can, for example, set a channel to 'skip' in CHIRP but the GT-5R has no documented skip function, so skip is not transferred to the radio. I also struggle to enter a power-on message, and other minor issues when I pretend it is a UV-5R. Could we create a proper entry for this model? This radio is being targeted for new hams by mfg, and having to jump thru hoops to get it to work with CHIRP is no bueno. I'm happy to test release candidates. Thanks, Ken, N2VIP

I evidently misspoke - it appears I did edit the original files. Attached is the image file I created from the first download, then edited, and a CSV which I just now created via Export. "Radio > Upload to Radio" is available in both files but neither puts the listed freqs into the radio. Microsoft Outlook doesn't seem to like the .img file so I renamed it to .bob.

[chirp_users] Motorola CDM
by Robert Carlson 16 Apr '21

16 Apr '21

I have programming software for my various amateur radio equipment as well as specific Motorola software. I was directed here because I need to drop the frequency range on a cdm1550 by 2 MHz all the top of the bottom. From what I have read There is a waris.py file somewhere available for download did enables chirp to work with a Motorola? I am confused on the matter. I've read the offsets that need to be changed with a hex editor and if that's all I need to do then I suppose that will work. On the other hand, I'd love to support chirp financially if it can handle all of my various pieces of equipment from one piece of software. Or am I misunderstanding that I still need my RSS software or CPS software? Thank you in advance.

Pretty safe bet this is all operator error but this thing is eating my lunch! I downloaded and installed the most recent version (20210416) first thing this morning. I tried following the steps in the help documentation - download from radio, export to img file, etc. When I upload the very same image file, with no edits, to the radio it populates both banks with 676.948 Mhz, changes language to Chinese, locks the radio and produces this error: "Edit > Properties" in Chirp does nothing. I've been able to unlock the keyboard and do a reset then change language back to ENG but everything (even FM broadcast if I reset "All") is gone. If I open the exported spreadsheet file I get "Unable to Detect Model" every time so I always choose Radioddity UV-5RX3 as directed by several sources. I edited the spreadsheet, adding a few local repeaters (saved with different filename so still have the original) but, when I open that file I get the attached error plus the "Radio > Upload to Radio" menu option is greyed out. And I never have been able to enter any channels in the 1.25 M band even though the aforementioned upload fills a few memories with channels around 300, 400, 500 & 600 Mhz. I got my first HAM license in the 70's. I was a techy for years (retired now) so this is as embarrassing as it is frustrating but this project is running out of fun! I keep thinking of that old help desk joke where the tech tells the user "You'd better just box that up and send it back to the factory." "Oh, is it broken?" asked the client. "No" replied the tech, "You're just too #@%! stupid to use it!" (I feel like that user right now!) Thanks all! Bob N0zfv -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 16 Apr '21

16 Apr '21

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-20210416 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #647 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [BJ-318] Add support for the Baojie BJ-318 This patch adds support for the Bajoie BJ-318 mobile radio. Research and main coding by Mark Hartong Assistance, pep8 compliance and submission by Jim Unroe related to #6235 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [BJ-318] Driver prep to make ready to support the Baojie BJ-318 This patch makes changes to the lt725uv.py driver to facilitate the addition of support for the Baojie BJ-318. The features and settings of the radio models that this driver currently supports are not affected. related to #6235 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [LT-725UV] Fix for incorrect range specified for VFO B Initial Chan: setting The Settings -> VFO B-Lower Settings -> Initial Chan:" setting currently provies a selection range of 0-127. This range should be 1-128. This patch updates the Initial Chan: seting to provide the correct range. Models affected: LUITON LT-725UV Baojie BJ-218 / Hesenate BJ-218 / Zastone BJ-218 Fixes #8979 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix base match_model definition for zero memsize The base match_model() implementation defaults to comparing the file size to Radio._memsize in order to identify the proper driver for a given file (for legacy files only). Since the default for the _memsize in CloneModeRadio is zero, any empty file will be identified as a match by any new driver that relies on metadata and does not (nor does it need to) override _memsize. The first driver returned from the directory dict that "matches" will be returned. This fixes #8967 which manifests as a failure to run File->New. Since the new file is zero length, we fail to properly load the CSVRadio driver that we need because we incorrectly allow the directory to match the zero length against everything.

[chirp_users] no drivers found for UV-S9 programming cable
by bob＠tyroneflats.com 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

Bought a new UV-S9 which did not include a cable. The promised software was not included however there was a link in the user's manual (http://www.abree.com/downloads) which takes you to a "Buy This Domain" site. I bought a cable from Amazon, a "Tenway Baofeng USB Programming Cable Win 7/10, 64Bit for Baofeng Radio UV-5R, BF-888S, H-777 with Driver CD" but Win 10 (64 bit) cannot find any drivers. Cable shows up in Device Manager as "Other Devices / USB Serial" with no COM port assignment identified and properties says "There are no compatible drivers for this device". Anyone else encounter anything like this or can you offer insights into how to get this radio programmed? Thank you all very much!

[chirp_users] no drivers found for UV-S9 programming cable - solved
by bob＠tyroneflats.com 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

Found a guide online that pointed me to tenwayradio.com/download-center with instructions on installing the CH-340 driver. Downloaded, unzipped, and ran the program and voila! I now have COM3. Next step is loading local repeaters into CHIRP. BTW, this is supposedly a tri-band but it won't allow freqs on the 1.25 M band??? Thank you for the responses. Sorry I didn't find this sooner!

[chirp_users] Import for BaoFeng UV9r
by Jerry s 13 Apr '21

13 Apr '21

Hi all, I’m a new user of CHIRP. I hooked my radio to my Mac and had no problems reading the config and exporting it to a .csv file. I then updated the .csv file as per the attached file. I’m getting an error saying no channels. I’ve included the original export to CSV as well as the file I’m trying to import (Merged V1) . Any clue would be appreciated.

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20210406 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #646 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add a brute force test for model detection The regular per-image model detection tests are not very well-suited for sussing out issues with one image being detected as multiple models, and it can be fooled if the right one is returned first from the directory. This adds a new unit test that runs through all the images and tries to match_model() every driver in the directory against them, asserting that not more than one matches any given file. Also included is a fix to make the unittest adapter use helpfully- named test images and makes the existing Detect test report the filename of the image it is trying, for easier debug. #0 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Move rt21 match_model() up to the base class The RT21 lineage has a match_model that clearly intends to be on the base class (as it checks for model==RT21), but is actually present only on the last subclass in the file. I'm sure this was an accidental detaching after the original implementation. After the driver maintenance (related to #8957, #8661 and #8959) the detection test started noticing this, probably just due to an ordering change.

[chirp_users] Yaesu vx-170
by Joseph E. Rouillier III 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

All Thank you for taking your time to look at this issue. I have a Yaesu VX-170 that I came across. Once I got it home I did a reset on the radio to bring it back to factory defaults. Next I tried reading the radio from Chirp, (Download from Radio). That fails no matter what I try it will not download the file from the radio. The radio almost immediately shows error after pressing push to talk seeing TX. and then in chirp I see Failed to communicate with radio: Failed to read header (0) Attached is the Debug. Also just for testing I got a VX-170 file from a friend and tried to download it to the radio also had errors. As soon as I get the radio into RX Chip shows a error indicating Radio did not ack block at 0 the radio screen never shows error it continues to show RX. See attached Debug.log file. Note I tested the cable to see if it was the problem borrowed a friends cable as well, both cables same issue, and both cables successfully program an FT-60 and my friend is able to read/write his VX-170 with his cable and my cable and he sees the same errors as I do when trying my radio. I tested the jack with a speaker mic to make sure the jack seems to be working correctly, speaker mic work fine can RX and TX. Finally in desperation I removed the battery and opened the little cover under the battery and confirmed the radio was modded by someone removing the 1 0 ohm resistor, and it looks like it only had 1 resistor as the 2nd upper one looks to clean as if it was never there from the factors. I believe the MOD is Expanded RX or TX I do not recall as I've never needed to perform the mod was aware of it from researching the radio itself. Thanks for any assistance. Attaced is the debug file that should contain both Download and Upload from Radio failures.

[chirp_users] lock out transmit freqs

I am setting up a number of BF UV-5 for a mixed batch of ham-licensed and non-licensed users. Using MURS and GMRS for most of the of the users, but i need to lock out everything else (eg. US weather service). at the same time, we will have a couple of ham repeaters for several of us licensed operators. How can I selectively disable transmit function in CHIRP?

[chirp_users] FT-70D Port for Mac

I am on a MacBook Pro 13 running 11.2.3. When I attempt to download the radio to Chirp the port that is auto populated is /dev/cu/.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port. When I put the radio into ADMS mode and attempt to download it I get ‘ERROR’ on the radio and a message stating that the radio did not respond on Chirp. I am using the cable supplied by Yaesu. Any ideas on how to get the radio to communicate with Chirp? Thanks.

[chirp_users] WinXP issue
by JP Bernier 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Hi, I have an old (ancient) Kenwood TM-V7A that I've programmed in the past with a long-dead WinXP laptop. The Kenwood had the chronic screen failure years ago that I had a weird hair to fix, and did with success! Now I want to update the programming. I found a functioning XP laptop and I've jumped through 10k hoops getting my modern Yaesu/ Prolific USB cable to talk to WInXP, but I got that to work finally (with a deeply buried legacy driver)... now I'm trying to install CHIRP on on the XP laptop so I can import my current .csv file and put it on the Kenwood. I get: "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem" (it doesn't). I think a legacy version (2004'ish?) of CHIRP might be the thing, but I don't know where to find it on the CHIRP website. Conversely, I have the ancient Kenwood MCP_V7 software successfully installed on the XP, but it doesn't seem to import anything at all. Not sure the point of software that only reads the radio without the ability to import data to upload, but whatever. If anyone knows how to get a .csv file into that it would get the job done just as well. Cheers, JP.

[chirp_users] Help - Programing ICOM handheld IC-2GXET and IC-T7E
by Allan Carson 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

Hi Chirp, Great job you guys are doing there - thanks! Can you please give me some help - I have a multi-function JiYKR cable to program my radios, but I can't seem to be able to get in to change or save any of the settings when I use the 'live' mode on Chirp. Could you give me some info on how to use the live mode and or suggest any other versions that I can use to program the IC-2GXET and IC-T7E? Thanks for your help 73 Allan - ZS1AL

[chirp_users] CHIRP .csv Export Cross Mode Missing;
by Craig Hayes 20 Mar '21

20 Mar '21

Hello, I cannot figure out how to have the Cross Mode column included in my .csv export from CHIRP. The Cross Mode column shows in CHIRP, but when I export a .csv it is missing; In CHIRP; The .csv header; I use Filemaker for my main organization and radio setup, then export a .csv and import it into CHIRP to program my radios. This has worked fine, but now I need to program a couple of channels that use Cross Mode for tones. Any idea how to include Cross Mode in the .csv? Thanks in advance, Craig

[chirp_users] Icom IC-91A
by Steve Walker 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

Hello, Hope I am doing this correctly, I subscribed using my e-mail. I have an Icom IC-91A that does not have the D-Star module in it. Purchased the cable from Bluemax49ers indicated for this radio and can't seem to get the radio and Chirp software to communicate. The cable driver is installed and seems to be recognized by my computer and working according to the device manager. The cable has a 2.5mm plug that fits into the data port, there is a different cable that has a 3.5mm plug that fits into the speaker port. Do I have the wrong cable for a non-D-Star radio or am I missing something? If anybody can shed a little light on this it would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve WB5EJV

[chirp_users] Kenwood TK-760H Radio Refuse...
by Mike Allred 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Hello, New member/user, so apologies if I'm missing something mundane... I am trying to program a Kenwood TK-760H with Chirp. I am using a Prolific USB to 6pin cable that is supposedly designed for this radio (and similar). When I try to download from the radio it appears to partially work. The display on the radio changes to "- PC -" and shows the PC connection icon in the top left. However, after a few seconds I get the error message "Radio refuse to enter into program mode after a few tries". Of course, I never get the configuration from the radio. Ideas? Thanks, Mike

I got the FT23R UART driver from the FTDICHIP.COM web site today. The web site is https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/ft232r-usb-uart-driver-download-easily… This led me to another we site https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/, the real driver site. I looked over the files and decided on https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM21228_Setup.zip. This file added COM: 3 to my lap-top, a Dell Precision M6700. I hope this information helps another user. I'm using Chirp software to program the radio. 73 - Myrt - N1GKE -

17 Mar '21

searched the site and scoured google, but came up with nothing. Apologies in advance for my lack of knowledge Equipment: Windows 10 64bit Prolific USB to 3.5mm Cable running 3.2.0.0 Driver (as instructed by MIKLOR), correct identified port Rugged Radios RM60 Issue: Need to Program Radio with Chirp. Radio is not listed on Chirp site. I tried selecting other radios such as TYT or QYT as others had used, but software will say 'Radio did not enter clone mode' or radio not recognized, or something along those lines. What am I missing? wrong cable/driver? incorrect radio being selected in Chirp? setting on radio? Do i have to use RT system's software and/or cable? Thanks for any help you can provide. Luis

[chirp_users] Support for Yaesu FT-991A?
by Mark Dixon 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

I think this has been asked before, in March 2019, but I'm wondering if there is any further news on Chirp support for the Yaesu FT-991A? Is there perhaps a different model which uses much the same communication protocol that does have Chirp support? Kind regards, Mark Dixon, VK6EZ

[chirp_users] Uv5r question
by ken hartmann 28 Feb '21

28 Feb '21

My buddy and I just purchased baofeng uv5r radios, we have them programmed using chirp, we were trying to hit a repeater in the middle of us, about 23 miles total so maybe 11 miles from each of us. Sometimes he could hear me but I couldn't hear him, then I could hear him and he couldn't hear me, is this an antenna issue ? We are using the rubber duckies that came with them, I also saw a setting for repeaters delay on the settings section, it is set to off, does that need to be changed ? Thankyou ken

Re: [chirp_users] Uv5r question
by Nick 28 Feb '21

Are the intermittent signal drop outs while you both are indoors? Does it happen outdoors? What is the height of the repeater above your elevation? UHF/VHF or both? I believe the setting for repeaters is OK if it is the default setting.

I have the PC setting on the th-k2 set to "on". What am I missing?Thanks for any help. Susan WB5JFL
