[chirp_users] Recommended radio for adding to chirp
by Eric Oyen 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

Hello users and devs. I recently acquired some new radios. These are definitely for the prepper set (as I am one besides being a ham). The radio is the Retevus H-777 and it’s little brother, the H-777s. Both are programmable using a standard 2 pin kenwood style programming cable. I recently asked for assistance from that company because their in house software had some issues that prevented it working with my screen reader (much like your package which has the same issues btw). However, with a bit of visual assistance, I was able to reprogram these radios for the 70cm ham band. Now, I gave that company the primary web site and asked if they would send over the data and let you guys have a whack at it. Maybe they will and maybe they won’t. If they do, then you know who to thank for it. On another matter, I am going to ask this again, are you guys ever going to make your package properly screen reader accessible on either the windows or OS X platforms? I know it is on Linux, but then, I am a techie. However, there are many blind or visually impaired hams out there (as well as others in the GMRS, FRS and other communities) that aren’t and have to depend on outside people to program their equipment. Now, I know all the excuses, including complexity of coding, etc. However, there are code snippets and libraries available that can be incorprated into the primary CHIRP program without too much difficulty. Lord knows, I’ve done enough reading on it. However, I have no experience in coding, so it would be inappropriate to ask me to fork the project just to add this functionality. Now, I will probably hear from more than a few of you stating that I represent a “niche market”. That may have been true 20 years ago, but not anymore. Our numbers are growing and we are appearing in more communities. Now, far be it for me to point this out, but seriously, wouldn’t you want to be on board with the Woke Train here, touting your software package as diversity and inclusive compliant? It would certainly make your package more appealing than it already is. Of course, if you don’t want to be inclusive or exercise some action toward diversity, that is your decision. In any case, I thought I would point this out. Anyway, I hope that company I wrote to sends you the data to add the H777 and it’s cousin the H777s to you to add it to the supported radios matrix. Oh, and if you want to experiment with a set, they can be had for cheap on amazon (about $35 for a pair of the H-777s radios). Thank you, DE n7zzt Eric

Folks, I am tempted to use the FT-2800 software to program my FT-2600M, based on the similarity of those two radios. Question is, if this is not a sane procedure and does not work, will I bork the 2600M beyond recovery? Thanks for your thoughts, 73, Mike W2IY

[chirp_users] PLEASE cut the rest of the, messages off (Was Re: chirp_users Digest, Vol 146, Issue 5)

Hi. In their defence, if the person concerned is using a phone or similar mobile device, their email clients editing facilities are "painful" in the extreme, even if they let you see what is left attached to what you are sending in reply, it is often difficult to impossible to edit or trim it. Even if it can be done, it is less than easy on a small mobile screen.. Some mailing lists, automatically limit the amount of included text, I don't know of this system has that facility. (But then sometimes you loose the message that is being replied to.) But yes, this (and the Elecraft list in particular) often suffers such issues with the digest mode. 73. Dave G8KBV.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '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-20201221 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #640 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Style fix related to patch for #8565 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [H777] Retevis H777 Plus This patch adds support for the Retevis H777 Plus (FRS/PMR) models with fixed antennas. Related to #8565 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [H777] Rework Serial Timeout The previous patch has broken uploads for the classic BF-888s radios and newer Retevis H777 models. The constanstant switching of the timeout to .5 before each block is sent and back to .25 after each block is sent on a Windows computer creates "noise" that causes the apparently "faster" radios to mis the "ack" returned by the radio which results in the upload failing. This patch resolves the issue by setting the serial timeout to .5 and leaving it remain that way for all serial activity. fixes #8197 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT22] Remove FRS and PMR446 Frequency Tables This driver was coded in a way that erasing a memory row would preselect the appropriate FRS or PMR446 frequency, bandwidth and transmit power level. This would similar to how the OEM programming software functions (actually the OEM software has the frequencies, bandwidth and power level settings fixed so that they cannot be edited). While getting ready to submit test images for these models, I rediscovered that the CHIRP test suite regards this as a memory that can't be erased and reports an error. This patch removes the frequency tables and other code related to this so that the test suite will pass when tested with the related "image" files. related to #6467 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT22] Add Retevis RT622 Model This patch adds support for the Retevis RT622 PMR446 version. related to #6467 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT22] Add Retevis RT22FRS Model This patch adds support for the Retevis RT22 FRS version. related to #6467 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT22] Add Radio ID to Retevis RT22 Driver Add additional radio ID and supporting code that is required to support currently shipping Retevis RT22 models and other similar variants. related to #6467 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT22] Retevis RT22 Driver Cleanup for better PEP8 Compliance Clean up driver before adding another radio ID and support for additional radio models. related to #6467 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [KT-8R] Add New MCU Version This patch adds an additional MCU Version to the support for the QYT KT-8R fixes #8513 [Brad Schuler <brad(a)schuler.ws>] [anytone_iii] Naming convention cleanup (issue #8503) [Mark Leigh <mark.leigh(a)shaw.ca>] Added methods and UI to query/import RadioRef.com for Canada.

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R MK4
by ken smith 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

I have successfully been able to use Chirp to upload .csv files etc. All communications between the software and radio seem to work. However, when manually loading HAM repeater information, the upload info seems to not take correctly. For example, I used the software to put in a 2m frequency, no tone, “-“ offset at 0.60 and low transmit power. After the upload, the radio shows the correct frequency and memory name but that’s it. The transmit power shows Medium (which isn’t even an option in the software) and also shows both “+” and “-“ on the radio screen. When keying the mike, it shows CT as if there is a tone being transmitted. Something is not syncing right but I am not getting any error messages. Any help here is appreciated.

[chirp_users] Puxing PX-2R "not responding"
by Dave B 12 Jan '21

12 Jan '21

Hi Christoph. If you look in the bug report page:- https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/6389 that I instigated a while ago... (Probably needs a login, begin at https://chirp.danplanet.com/login ) It seems from what one of the dev's has said:- Looks like the number of DCS codes reported by the radio exceeds what Chirp expects or can handle. Guess we have to look into this. That was 8 months ago, and as I was the only one reporting a problem, I guess it's a low priority. If you could login and add your voice to the report, maybe, something might happen. But, I suspect most of the dev's are working to get CHIRP working on Python3.x rather than fixing low profile bugs like this. (NOT a flame, just how it goes, and I understand why that is hopefully a priority.) I can do a little Python programming, but CHIRP is a huge codebase, and trying to understand one model of radio's back end, in isolation of the rest, is nigh on impossible for me. Else I'd have a go, but from Bernhard's comment, the problem could be deeper within CHIRP, rather than the radio's driver/backend code. 73 All. Dave G0WBX.

[chirp_users] Puxing PX-2R "not responding"

Hello, I’m trying to download the config from a Puxing PX-2R using Chirp 1:20190104-1 on Debian stable with the result that the "Radio is not responding". I searched the available information (wiki, bug reports, list archive) without finding a solution. Maybe someone here has a suggestion? The cable I use is shown by lsusb as Bus 002 Device 007: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port When I connect the radio to the computer with this cable and switch it on, an orange LED lights above the active display. Since the radio does not react to key presses when connected in this way it seems to detect the connection. (When disconnected it reacts normally.) In chirpw, I select "Download from Radio" and Port: /dev/ttyUSB0 (the only one, read/write rights are OK) Vendor: Puxing Model: PX-2R Then I press "OK" and an error dialog appears together with the following message in the terminal: ERROR: -- Exception: -- ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 256, in run self.__radio.sync_in() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/puxing.py", line 441, in sync_in self._mmap = puxing_2r_download(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/puxing.py", line 374, in puxing_2r_download raise errors.RadioError("Failed to communicate with radio: %s" % e) RadioError: Failed to communicate with radio: Radio is not responding ERROR: ---------------- ERROR: Clone failed: Failed to communicate with radio: Radio is not responding ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: Failed to communicate with radio: Radio is not responding --- ERROR: None ERROR: ---------------------------- I can reproduce the above with both PX-2R devices that I have access to.

Re: [chirp_users] Chirp no work - on Windows, try Linux if possible
by Dave B 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Hi. In Windows, after connecting the cable (no radio needed on the other end, nor Chirp running.) Go into the Device Manager, and look for the COM/Serial port device lists. If there are no Yellow Triangle signs, and you only see one COM port, that is the one you tell Chirp about. If you see more than one, with that display on screen, unplug the cable, wait, and re-plug it, and you'll see the list update so you can identify which COM port to use. If however, the one for your cable has a Yellow triangle, with a ! in the middle, then Windows as no driver for it, because it's recognised as either a counterfeit USB/Serial chip, or it's an old version of a Genuine chip (not uncommon sadly with Prolific chipsets) or a chipset that Windows does not know about (SiLab's and others typically, if so go to their website and pull the driver you need, for your version of Windows, and install it.) You can either rollback the driver, and install an earlier one. Under Win7 as you no longer receive updates, that should stick, but in effect your are then part of the problem stealing someone else's intellectual property by proxy. (Prolific's design and firmware.) On Win10, you will probably have to block updates else it will update to the current version that will again reject old/counterfeit devices, but in these troubled times, it is not a good idea to skip security updates. Just get a genuine FTDI or whoever's chipset based cable. OK, it costs more, but you don't need to block security updates and compromise your PC to keep using it. In Linux, the Kernel has all the drivers built in, and (usually, but for how long no one seems to say) they still work with the fake and old version chips too. (And very well too, it has to be said.) But... Your username must (On Debian based systems such as Ubuntu, Mint, Raspian and so on) be a member of the "dialout" group, or you will never get to use it. (Fedora bases systems I think have a similar requirement, but I don't know the incantation for them.) Open a command line window (Ctrl + Alt + T) and enter this:- sudo aduser $USER dialout You will be asked for your password (the same one you logged in with. '$USER' is a system variable containing your present login name.) After that you *MUST* Logout, and Log back In again (or reboot, if that is easier) for the change to take effect. Then you can use serial I/O devices. To find out what /dev/ttyUSB* number it has been assigned. Immediately after connecting the cable (again, no radio needed) in a command line window, use the command ls /dev/ttyUSB* That will show you all the USB/Serial devices it knows are connected. If you have several, compare the list without the programming cable, and with it connected, so you can identify which device name you tell Chirp to use. Note! In the presence of multiple USB/Serial devices, it is common for them to be "enumerated" (discovered) in a different order* when the machine is next restarted, so it is usually best to confirm what you have before starting the software! (* There are ways to make things consistent and stable, but that is beyond the scope of this email for now. If you are curious, look up 'udev rules' ) You may be able to "test" the cable, by connecting the apropriate pins of the radio end of the cable together, forming a serial loop-back, then you can use a terminal program (CuteCom for example, will need to install that if not already present) to type to yourself. See your radio's manual to identify which pins or terminals of the cable end to link.. Hope the above is not too much to digest. 73 Dave G8KBV On 06/01/2021 20:00, chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com wrote: > Hi Billy > > I find that I can only get Chirp to work with my BaoFeng UV-5REs when I > do it with Linux.

[chirp_users] Setting CTCSS or Tone Codes
by John Elliott 05 Jan '21

05 Jan '21

I have completed these settings on my HAM radios just fine. On the two GMRS-V1 and the GMRS 50X1 radios that I have, I was informed by those who have done it, to set the "Tone Mode" to "TSQL", the "Tone" to 141.3 (example), the "ToneSql" to 141.3, and the "Cross Mode" to "Tone->Tone." The issue is, whenever I do this, the "Tone Mode" switches from "TSQL" now to "Cross" and the "Tone" is removed along with the "Tone->Tone". Can anyone tell me am I setting this up incorrectly? When uploading it with only the "Tone Mode" to "TSQL" and only the "ToneSql" tone number, leaving the "Cross Mode" blank, the radios will not open the repeaters. -- *Thanks, John KF7MUE* *GMRS-WRKD607*

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-82HP Previous solution (from frequency to channel mode switching) does not work
by Kevin Evans 20 Dec '20

20 Dec '20

I tried the steps in the previously closed solution of downloading the file and using the Settings tab, then change the setting for VFO. However, I don't have anything under the "settings" tab. I do find VFOA and VFOB under the "browse"r tab on the left, which is under the blank "Settings" tab, but I don't have any info on what to put in Hex, Dec, Bin cells or which ones to use or not use. Any assistance would be appreciated Kevin

[chirp_users] Database import from Radioreference.com

Hi, When importing a database into CHIRP from Radioreference.com, it asks for: - Username - ok - Password - ok - Zip Code - I'm from Canada & the database is also. Which zip code should I use? I didn't enter an address on Radioreference & I don't see one associated with the database... ? - It is giving an error code: server raised fault: Invalid Country ID I have also tried to import via a CSV file, but so far I'm getting an error message, as it doesn't like the CSV formatting.

I have a 2016 version of chirp installed on a windows vista pc. If I try to run the installer for the new version, I get several file errors and have to abort. Do I need to remove the old version first. My old chirp version tried to upgrade on its own but nothing happened? Sent from my iPhone

[chirp_users] New to ham radios
by James Walker 11 Dec '20

11 Dec '20

Good morning, I bought a set of Baofeng UV-82hp radios a few weeks ago since than I have not been able to program them. I tried two different cables so far the one that came with the radios and one that I bought from Amazon, the Amazon cable says it’s FTDI, it does flash and recognize my radios but I get an error message while trying to clone says that the radio can’t be Recognized by com port 6. I’ve tried to update, install, reinstall the ports abound twenty times. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. I’m going to try another cable any Sunday would be great! Respectively,

I recently bought a CTF-29 after reading it was the cable to buy based on Youtube videos. I cannot get it to work on windows 10 Pro. On doing a little research on the internet I see that most programming software for the radio come with a USB-29F cable. I am skeptical that there is a difference between the two.

[chirp_users] Issue with latest build and Baofeng GT-3TP
by Ceferino Lamb 26 Nov '20

I updated today and made a minor mod to my HT, lowering default tx power on one of my stored freqs. That failed to store the mod on HT, no error msg. Tried twice. Failed. Then back in the truck I found that I could no longer hear other HTs in our convoy. So I reset the HT, uninstalled the latest CHIRP build on my w10 box, went back to daily-20201014, re-uploaded file to HT, and all is working fine again. -- K7CRL Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

[chirp_users] Python 3

25 Nov '20

Hi Everyone! Huge fan here and Gentoo Linux user who recently found out the chirp package was removed from the main repository due to depending on pygtk which (as far as I understand) has no Python 3 support. I'm willing to help fix any ways I can so I can continue to receive updates in Gentoo. Does anyone have more information, are these assumptions completely out of date, or is there already a bug/feature I can support?

[chirp_users] CHIRP and VX-6: impossible to upload from Mac

23 Nov '20

Hi all, I am quite new to this community so greetings to everyone. Downloading from the radio to the Mac goes just smooth. On the other hand it is impossible from OS X to upload an img file to the VX-6 since it deeply crashes OS X and the only solution is to press and hold the power button (chirp-daily-20201014 and High Sierra). I detailed the issue while updating this bug https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/5543 but I was wondering if anyone had similar issues or has some bright ideas. Thanks, Giulio

[chirp_users] Programming an ICOM IC-7100
by John 07 Nov '20

I recently purchased an ICOM IC-7100 and am trying to purchase it with Chirp. I am unable to find a copy of the official ICOM CS71-00 software (presumably it has to be purchased?) so I am trying Chirp. I usually work on Linux so tried the Linux version first. When Chirp connects, I get a warning that the Icom IC-7100 operates in live mode and that any changes will be immediately sent to the radio. Chirp connects to the radio and downloads the existing memories and bank configurations, but I can't make any changes. For example I would like to change the bank assignments, but the checkboxes do not work. Is it in some kind of read-only mode? Is there something I else I need to do? I tried the Windows version as well (on Windows 7) and the same thing happens. -- John.<https://www.postbox-inc.com/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=siglink&utm_campai…>

I went to the Miklor website to try and diagnos some problems I am having in establishing the correct driver. Miklor said the WCH chipset will not recognize Prolific drivers, then said to follow a particular link, but it is in Chinese. I have Windows 10. What can I do?

Thank you. I will try this. I bought the whole set of radio, microphone and baofeng program cable. When I check my ports it says ch340 instead of prolific so that is probably the problem. Again thank you.

[chirp_users] Thank You

I used chirp this morning to transfer configuration and memory files from mine to a friend's BaoFeng UV-5R. Haven’t used Chirp in 2 years; it worked perfectly the first time. I very much appreciate the efforts of Chirp volunteers in creating and maintaining this fine program. I am sorry that I don’t have anything to complain about, must not be looking at the situation with sufficient rigor. :) K6PUK, yeah, that really is my call sign, a practical joke by someone at the FCC in 1955.

[chirp_users] Why Isn't Chirp In The Main Repository Of Linux Distros?
by Glenn K0LNY 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Hi, I've added the DanSmith repository enough times now that I can do it without looking for the exact syntax. But I keep wondering why Chirp is not in all Linux stable repositories. I mean that if I want something like speech-dispatcher, I don't need to add a repository to get it. As popular as Chirp is, can't it just be in all Linux repositories? Thanks for any info, I have been web searching for an explanation as to why this is in general, but I have only gotten a history of repositories without really explaining an answer to my question.

Re: [chirp_users] Why Isn't Chirp In The Main Repository Of Linux Distros?
by Dave B 08 Oct '20

Hi. Being stuck in the Python2.x world, rather than moving to Python3.x is one reason. Python2.x has been "End Of Life'd" so most (if not all) distro's are not including it by default. (That EoL notice was made several years ago!) Though, there is nothing to stop you from installing Python2.7 for example (you may have some dependencies to work through though) then install Chirp. 73. Dave G8KBV. (Linux Mint 19.3 in use here.)
