Re: [chirp_users] linux command line
by Tycen Stafford 14 Feb '18

Well, that's what I though, but hey look at that... I did just see that command line chirp can do some editing! You can list the settings, list the memory channels, set a memory channel, clear a memory channel and copy a memory channel. So about the only thing you can't do is edit settings. I was only looking for something to upload to the radio so I hadn't paid attention to the rest of the README. I just tired it out on on of my images and it seems to work. From the README page on github: List Settings ------------- For radios that support settings, you can list the current settings in a saved image: chirpc --mmap=<file> --list-settings Show Memory Channels -------------------- You can list all current memory channels in a saved image: chirpc --mmap=<file> --list-mem That command only lists the currently programmed channels. To see the complete list (including empty channels), add '--verbose'. To view only a single channel, use the --get-mem option: chirpc --mmap=<file> --get-mem <channel> Set a Memory Channel -------------------- chirpc --mmap=<file> --set-mem-name=<name> ... <channel> See the --help text for a complete list of options that can be used to configure the channel. Any settings that are not configured using a command option will be left unchanged. Clearing a Memory Channel ------------------------- You can clear a memory channel, discarding all settings: chirpc --mmap=<file> --clear-mem <channel> Copying a Memory Channel ------------------------ You can copy a memory channel: chirpc --mmap=<file> --copy-mem <source_channel> <destination_channel> Note: The contents of <destination_channel> will be overwritten with the contents from <source_channel> On Wed, Feb 14, 2018 at 1:08 PM, David <BearSFO(a)pacbell.net> wrote: > > So, from what you just described, the edits would still need to be done > inside chirp GUI? > > --David > > > At 10:48 AM 2/14/2018, Tycen Stafford wrote: > > Good question. chirp certainly works in a Linux GUI (I've used it on > Ubuntu and it works great!).

Re: [chirp_users] linux command line
by Tycen Stafford 14 Feb '18

Good question. chirp certainly works in a Linux GUI (I've used it on Ubuntu and it works great!). But as for the command-line, editing is not an option as documented in the chirp.hg software link I sent. I tried vim'ing the img file but it looks like it's binary. Quick command-line edits would be handy though, for sure - although I imagine it would be one of those things that would be really easy to mess up if you put in the wrong type of character/data or whitespace. It would probably need a validator command with it to validate the img file before trying to upload it to your radio. I think it's one of things where it's not an option because no one's developed it yet. The user-base would probably be a fraction of the users who use the GUI so all the time and focus goes to the GUI. Also, I mentioned that my implementation uses Dropbox to sync the img files around - you of course use scp or rsync or some other filesync utility. I just used Dropbox because my radio files were already there and it was quick and easy to generate a public (yet obscure) URL and just do a wget.

[chirp_users] Strange behavior of CHIRP under OS X latest version
by Jean-Paul Louis 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

I hadn’t used CHIRP for a while but always kept updating regularly. Last night, I wanted to update my Baofeng UV-82, and found an odd issue with the track pad or a wireless mouse. It seems that there is an X/Y offset between the mouse pointer and the CHIRP action. When I want to select a new radio, the buttons are partially hidden, so I have first to resize the window to see all the buttons. Then the buttons get the focus only if my mouse pointer is almost outside the button. It is very frustrating. Has anyone noticed the same behavior, or is it just me? I am using CHIRP form 02/04/2018 on a MacBook pro with Retina Display and OS X 10.3.3. Just curious, Jean-Paul N1JPL

[chirp_users] Application Crashes in Mac
by John Laiosa 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

After some help from some folks on this users group I was able to get my Mac to recognized the the serial cable. However the problem I am having now is the application crashes after the upload from the radio is complete. I uploaded the latest version of Chirp(20170627) but that did not solved the problem. The Mac is running macOS Sierra version 10.12.5. Thanks for the help. John Laiosa N1BSO

Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5RTP BTECH UV-5X3 - both +- in display for offset
by Rich Messeder 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

Jim, I compiled the notes from this thread and cross referenced twixt Baofeng-BTECH and CHIRP, so that I keep the relevance. In my testing, I discovered a neat feature: In the 5X3, when using SYNC, and with the NAME in band A and freq in Band B, I normally scroll using Band A. If I swap to Band B, with freq displayed, and hit *, the display toggles twixt the RX and TX freqs, leaving the NAME displayed. 73 de ~Rich~ NE1EE ARES AEC Short email? No html?

I know nothing about RT Systems software and hardware. I do know I have converted all my cables to FTDI compliant using the module and instructions in this link.

No more drivers to worry about. http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_ProgrCable.php Nick K7NQB 73 from Boise. ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Brandon Clark <kl7bsc(a)gmail.com> To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: [chirp_users] Repurposing RT-Systems Cables Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2018 10:17:37 -0900 Good morning, Question: Has anyone had luck with changing the VID and PID on RT Systems cables? I saw from the CHIRP documentation that it can be done with the FTDI utility, but I'm not sure which utility to use (the FTDI site has many available).

Jim, Thanks for the clear notes. I am save such notes for each radio in a PIM, so that I always have them with me. I explored some Miklor web pages as I read your emails. Comment: I saved the link to Review BTECH 5X3 - Miklor but then renamed it to Miklor BTECH 5X3 Review because I am more likely to look for it in that order...Miklor...BTECH 5X3...Review I suggest (without knowing how or why pages are named in html) that the pages be renamed. Now to the matter at hand. CHIRP daily-20180204 Looking here, in "MEMory - CHannel Programming" http://www.miklor.com/COM/kc9hi/5RMenus.html and trying to coord that with your comment about 9 settings... "The settings of the following menus are also saved into the target channel. This essentially creates a fully operational simplex channel." Did not see 23 BCL in CHIRP channel or in settings (5X3). Seems to me that I'd want this to be global? 17 PTT-ID DTMF S-CODE - band-specific in CHIRP? the web page suggests channel-specific (sensible). 19 When to Send PTT-ID - I guess that I could see this as either band- or channel-specific. Looks global in CHIRP. Did see 33 skip in CHIRP channel, which makes sense to me, but not on web page in "MEMory - CHannel Programming". I guess that Tone Mode is inferred from CHIRP Tone & Tone Sql? How is Cross-mode implemented? I don't see a setting for it. So far, I see, per channel 2 Power 5 Wide | Narrow 10-13 CTCSS, DCS 33 SKIP I intend to become fully conversant with the 5RTP and 5X3, so welcome your comments.

In Frequency Mode + or - is displayed based on Menu 25 (Shift) So all is OK.

NE1EE ========= I have been using the 5RTP for a few years, and don't recall problems. I just realized that the display does not show either a + or a - for the repeater offset, but shows both the + and -. Ditto the 5X3. I tried several things in CHIRP to change this, and no success. I can add a channel from the keypad, it seems, and then I get only a + or a -, not both. I started with the 5X3 by downloading immediately from the radio, then copied a bunch of channels from my 5RTP file, thinking that the are both the same class of radio.

[chirp_users] Error after updating to new firmware of Yaesu FT1D and mcOS 10.13.3
by Jeff Zarge - K3JRZ 10 Feb '18

10 Feb '18

Hello. I just updated my Yaesu FT1D to Main 3.01 and DSP 4.15 (both from 09/08/2017). I'm running a 2017 iMac (High Sierra 10.13.3). The firmware & DSP updates went fine on my Windows laptop. Now, I have normally used my iMac (previous was a early 2009 iMac running various OS X versions) and the daily builds of Chirp to program my FT1D (I use the SCU-19 cable that came with my radio). Never had an issue. After doing the two updates and running the latest version of Chirp (currently 20180210) I get the following error when I try to upload my memories back to the radio: "*failed to communications with the radio: radio did not ack block 1*". I have no problem downloading from the radio (although it's a blank list since I reset the radio). I've installed the newest FTDI drivers and and the Python files and still nothing (again, I use the SCU-19 cable that came with my radio - not sure what drivers I really need). Even tried each USB port on my iMac. I'll attach the debug log if that's any help. I'm not a programmer, but I can look through logs and code (do that at work), but I don't see anything that says "HEY! THIS IS THE ISSUE RIGHT HERE!". Maybe someone here will know what to look for? The last time I edited my programming file was in December. I do not remember if I had used Chirp since moving to High Sierra, but I was keeping mostly up-to-date with the daily releases for the Mac. I did go back in through the archives and see someone had issues with 10.13.1, but when he updated to 10.31.2 it was fixed. Well, I'm on 10.13.3. Hrmmm... Did anyone else have this or similar issue?

[chirp_users] Which radio?
by Chuck Hast 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

I see all of the issues with these radio, I want to get something that will do the job, I want at least 2m and 70cm. But would be even better to have something tri-band. So with all of what I have seen, which of these radios do you guys recommend. Chirp does a great job with my Icom, but I would like to get something that I can use and if something happens it is not my Icom handheld. Something that if it falls into the water, or gets whacked I am not out a lot. So what do you guys recommend? -- Chirp + Editcp + MD380Tools on Linux Celestial!!! Chuck -- KP4DJT

on the BaoFengs: menu 21 MDF-A and menu 22 MDF-B let you select channel number, channel label/name or frequency. stay away from the VFO/Channel button and it will always show your labels. Channel names have to be assigned in programming software; can’t be done from the key pad. I solved the driver problem by getting the official $12 programming cable from BaoTech…worked perfectly the first time out…then you don’t have to hassle with the drivers (i should say, worked fine on my HP laptop, Win10) 3s christopher arthur KD7EFS Casper, wonderful Wyoming

to upload to the F9, or the UV-5 for that matter, you need to do two things….set up your frequency plan, labels, etc in CHIRP, and save it. next, copy the contents of the radio to a new chirp database. delete everything in it, and copy from your original chirp freq plan to the now blank one from the receiver. If you go to the Radio pull down, the ‘upload to radio’ will be grayed out unless you are actually in the radio’s database. If you try to upload directly from the CHIRP list that you made, it won’t work but if you select the radio’s database and copy into it, it is happy. Once you figure out some of these obscure kinks you’ll find the BaoFeng is pretty simple. good luck christopher arthur KD7EFS Casper, wonderful Wyoming

Re: [chirp_users] Leixon 898
by Harrison Cooper 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Changing the subject to something else, rather than responding to the other thread Yes, I've been able to program the 898, but I used a combination of CHIRP and the factory software to get things setup as I wanted. So between the two of those packages, you should be able to obtain what you need. I do not like the 898 that well, for the audio quality from the speaker, its seems to be more on the low side of frequency response. However I do like the scan mode, so I repurposed it to be a VHF/UHF PS scanner, leaving my trucking to handle the 800MHz.

[chirp_users] [OT] Re: Problems with Norton etc.
by Dave B 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Quite honestly, I'm amazed anyone still thinks running Norton AV is an acceptable solution to a perceived problem. It itself is riddled with inconsistencies and other funnies, plus has a hair trigger for false positives. "Not seen by many users" is NOT a good metric to judge if something is bad or not. Windows own Windows Defender, in conjunction with whatever "Security Essentials" is now called is more than adequate for 90+% of users, and the price is right. Coupled with the use of "uBlock Origin" in your web browsers, to block the obnoxious nasties in on-line add's, and you'll have a slick fast and more than safe enough system. (Heck, that is even in the MS app store now, as well as Chrome's webstore.) The single best AV tool, is common sense... Never, and I mean NEVER *NEVER* Click on a popup you didn't expect*, or go to a site or download something *YOU DID NOT YOURSELF ASK OR GO LOOKING FOR*! And Never EVER respond to anything in unsolicited (spam) email's, however attractive the proposition may look. (* Not even any 'X' close button, that only confirms that they've found a human, and may not even remove the popup. Back out of that website/restart the browser and find another with what you want.) Norton AV used to be good, it's now just more bloat-ware, with questionable practices, and not in truth a particularly good user experience. As above, the best AV tool, is the wet stuff between your ears. As in all life, if something appears to be too good to be true, it probably is bad for you, your PC, and/or your bank account! 73.

[chirp_users] chirp and screen reader accessibility
by Ray T. Mahorney 27 Jan '18

27 Jan '18

Just a thought here but I wonder if the developers have given consideration to building screen reader accessibility in to the program? Presently, Chirp does not work well if at all with any of the commonly and widely used text to speech screen reading programs such as JAWS and NVDA. The NVDA screen reader is an open source program so its developers may be more receptive to working to build accessibility into Chirp. This question may have come up before and if it has, I apologize in advance. http://www.nvda-project.org Ray T. Mahorney WA4WGA

[chirp_users] Using The Accessible USB Image For Chirp With Orca Screenreader
by Glenn At Home 27 Jan '18

27 Jan '18

I found the link, but the instructions sound more difficult than it needs to be. I would use the universal USB installer that I'll give a link to, and select the Linux distro of Zorin. The information page on this is: http://www.hamradioandvision.com/chirpvi-liveusb-for-blind-hams/ The Universal USB installer is: https://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ I think that if the image you will download is an ISO image, I don't know why you cannot burn it to a CD, if it is small enough for a CD. However, I think the easiest way to do it is to use the Universal USB installer to download Ubuntu Mate at: https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/ After burning that to DVD or putting it on USB, boot to it and do the following: control S for screenreader On some versions, it's alt + windows S to call up Orca the screenreader. Otherwise, the Linux run command is: alt + F2-key. Then type in: orca and press enter. When Orca is talking: You tab around like you do in windows. You get to the desktop with alt + shift + D The start menu in Ubuntu is alt + F1-key. You arrow around like in Windows. Windows has a DOS shell as it is sometimes called, and we look for command prompt in Windows. Linux has the same thing, called "Terminal". One way we can get there is with alt + control + T. If you like DOS, you will like that. If you get that far, I or others can give you commands for installing Chirp. HTH. Glenn

[chirp_users] Problems with Norton etc.
by Tom Simonson 26 Jan '18

26 Jan '18

I ran into the problem of Norton treating Chirp as malware in Feb of 2016. I was using the current program Norton Internet Security on some Windows 7 machines (32 and 64 bit systems). I was able to over-ride the objections of Norton and install the program. At that time, when Norton had problems with a program, it was possible to look at the "details" of the problem - which in this case were partly because the program (or version) was not seen on very many systems, making is suspicious. Within the dialog process of the Norton program, it was possible to report that it might be a false positive. I did this and got the all-clear from Norton a few days later. My recollection is hazy, but I think that I had to provide a download link to the program in question (Chirp installer). Below is the response that I got from Symantec after evaluating the version of CHIRP. Note that the reference to pro-active whitelisting brings up a page saying that advance whitelisting is no longer an option, with a link to a report false positives page. " In relation to submission [3917013]. Upon further analysis and investigation we have verified your submission and as such this detection will be removed from our products. The updated detection will be distributed in the next set of virus definitions, available via LiveUpdate or from our website at http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/defs.download.html Please note that whitelisting can take up to 24 hours to take effect. Decisions made by Symantec are subject to change if alterations to the Software are made over time or as classification criteria and/or the policy employed by Symantec changes over time to address the evolving landscape.

[chirp_users] will not copy channel names to radio

at the risk of asking a question that may have been posted earlier (several hours of searching failed to yield results): recently purchased a BF-F9 V2+. the most recent CHIRP daily allows me to program all fields successfully, but the channel name field will not copy to the radio. turning everything off and copying FROM the radio into a new download file shows the channel names are in there somewhere, but they do not show up on the radio display. Any ideas? Thanx christopher arthur KD7EFS … a baofeng BF-F9V2+ and a UV-5RTP (channel names work properly with the UV-5)

[chirp_users] FTDI cable for Yaesu FT-60 using Mac OS
by T.E. Klamberg Klamberg 24 Jan '18

The struggle continues…. I downloaded the driver from FTDI website and went through installation. Np problems there. I then went to the System Report page to see if the driver appeared on the USB list of drivers. Nothing shows that would tell me that a FTDI driver was installed anywhere. I suspect the com/USB port is not communicating with the download, or the cable is not communicating. At this point, I am lost as to what to do next. I hope I have provided enough info for your collective assistance. Thanks. Tip Klamberg N9MVX

Hi, I got an 898S early last year. It did come with a programming cable but I ordered one off of ebay. I received it, plugged it in and it worked. Next time I tried it I had to plug it in a couple of times before it would recognize it (I did get it to work). Fast forward to Dec I've plugged in numerous time and will not recognize radio. Obviously its either cable or maybe in the radio. How to I tell which? without buying a new cable. 73 Alan --

[chirp_users] Valley Ent. cable and mac OS High Sierra
by T.E. Klamberg Klamberg 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

The last problem I had is overcome, that being selecting the Yaesu FT-60 from the dropdown menu. Chirp is a little picky how you select items, but I found it. Now has to do with the cloning. When I plug in the Valley Enterprise FTDI cable, red and green lamps on the USB plug flash once simultaneously; very fast and only once. I set up the radio to clone without issue. When I set up Chirp to download from the radio, the port selection is only one: /dev/cu.bluetooth-incoming-port. When I press the PTT button on the radio, I get RX, then an error on Chirp. When I remove the USB from the MacBook Pro, there are no red/green lamp flash at all. When it comes to using Terminal on mac, I am really concerned that I may screw something up beyond all recognition. I did download the the FTDI driver but to no avail. I really appreciate any help y’all can provide on this issue. Thanks. Tip Klamberg N9MVX Mascoutah, IL

I have used RT System USB cables for my Mac to operate my FT 920 using MLDX with great success. I have asked RT Systems, (who make a plethora of USB/RS 232 cables for just about every radio on earth) if they plan to write driver software for their cloning cables for HT’s and VHF/UHF radios. They assure me that they are working on the problem. If anyone needs a Mac driver for RT Systems’ USB/RS232 cables, you can contact me, I have the link or put a question into their support network.

Hi. Sometimes the (long) list of radios falls off the bottom of the screen, you may need to scroll or shift it up to see Yaesu, then select the radio with the other drop-down tool. Yaesu has been in there for a long time, the FT-60 is listed too, and when I try it, it walks me through the procedure needed at the radio, and then waits for a clone download (that never comes, as I don't have a FT-60 connected!) so I cancel and exit. This in "CHIRP daily-20180115" Best get your instance of CHIRP from the website, not relying on OS managed repositories, that are usually somewhat out of date. As you are a Mac user, go to:- https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download And follow the instructions there under the MacOS users section. Check also:- https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MacOS_Tips In particular re application security for your version of OS, and the notes based on whatever chip-set your USB<>serial cable is based on. VE don’t actually tell what chip-set they use, that I could see on the website. Never mind, the OS will tell you, if you check the system message log immediately after connecting the lead to the computer. Under Linux, the easiest way is from a command line terminal, issue a dmesg command, and what you want will be close to the end of the (verbose) listing. Google implies that Mac OS has the same command, so ??? Hope something helps. 73. Dave G0WBX (A Linux, not a Mac user.) On 22/01/18 20:00, T.E.

I used factory software to configure as a 2/220 radio it was showing 2/440. I can not save the programing in the factory software or upload the file from the radio it uploads a little and then gives a connection error. Factory will download to radio but once I close the program I get to start over again. Chirp will let me upload the file but, errors out the 220 repeaters but not the 220 simplex frequencies. If I edit and reenter the repeaters I can download the file to the radio and it works but I just opened the saved file on my computer and it has error'd out the repeaters again. Also as I enter frequencies in the radio, 2 meters shows an offset of .600 but by the time I add the offset that has changed to 0.00 same on 220 the offset changes to 0.0 even though I have entered a + or - offset. At least the radio is programmed so, thanks for the help.

The only problem there, is if the same lame question is being asked time and time and time again, then there is something seriously missing in the instructions, documentation or help files. More often than not, it's the creators of an application or package, that create that documentation (initially at least) but it's plain as the nose on our faces, that often they are "too close" to it all, to realise that some small but critical detail that is plain and obvious to them, is total smoke and mirrors to other people. As always, the devil is in the detail. In this case, my impression is that the documentation explaining the programming interface lead/hardware is often seriously lacking. Not helped any by the radio manufacturers in some cases, and the plethora of other sites on the inter-web, that often have conflicting information. 73. Dave G0WBX. (Who in the past has been, and will probably again be the noob who's been flamed for asking "dumb" questions. Plus at other times guilty as charged of the curt one liners. We've all done it I suspect. Hopefully I wont any more.)

It’s an RT cable. The problem seems to be that Chirp does not know the name of the output on USB.

[chirp_users] Concurrance
by Al Jones 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

I like the give and take from all the people here *except* that there are times when it's not helpful at all. We get a new member who doesn't know what he's doing, thinks he's read everything and is still missing "something" --- and one of our beneficent members replies "RTFM!" or someone else chimes in with "get the right cable!" or better yet "That won't work!" Those one line zingers are not only NO help, they're probably going to turn off some guy who might eventually be the one to help someone else, down the line. I have a friend who had a Linux problem and the response he got here was - "It works fine with *my* Ubuntu!" Sometimes confirmation that something works is a big help, it just means that we're not looking in the right place. When I phrased his question differently I got some great assistance ... there are some good guys here and to them I say "Thanks!" << tripping off my soapbox, sorry >>

Hey guys, you are all awesome. Keep up the good work. I'm on my boat in Mexico, and have not been interested in chirp for 7 months. But even though I only get some coverage when I'm in port, I still read most of the threads. I do agree that it might be frustrating with newbe's but answers or links to the answer will help us all.

[chirp_users] Please!

When I joined this list, I expected to find tech- savy individuals working to enhance a great piece of free software. However, I keep getting digests filled with the total previous digest copied multiple times. If you simply clean up your reply, maybe include a relevant quote, and add a meaningful subject - some of us would be inclined to read it and help. - That concludes my vent. Please be brief and don't be lazy. CT No tree, hard or soft, has been harmed by the senfing of this email; but many electrons have been inconvenienced.

Hi David (and others), I'm using default Windows 10 coding/decoding. It works perfectly with almost everything I use, including Word, Access, Excel, Visio, Audition, Winamp, Firefox, EditPad, Paint, an AMR converter, Bulk Rename, and several Canon utilities to name but a few. It also works perfectly with older versions of several of the above. Emails in both directions via Yahoo! and MSN are no problem. I find incorrect punctuation in a fair number of 'Comments' made about various news items as well as the chirp-users messages. It has been suggested that the incorrect punctuation is because of data mis-handling by systems in other countries where the apostrophe is not recognised in their language and the question-mark is substituted at that point. I like that explanation, it fits in with the world-wide nature of Amateur Radio as well as news-item comments from all over the world. Such activities would be out of the control of both the sender and recipient.

[chirp_users] Find "lost" Chirp fils
by Peter Ryan 04 Jan '18

04 Jan '18

Thanks for all who responded to my query. I learned a great deal...especially that CHIRP is not a "stand alone" app, and stores lists in other areas. With that knowledge, I am now sure I can figure out my inputting mistakes, as to why my additions to the initial list (and in the separate "missing" list) don't seem to get saved, even though I use the SAVE button religiously. With all your great responses, I am confident I will find what I am doing wrong. Thanks very much to all responders, and to the authors of CHIRP. It is really needed.

[chirp_users] THIRD REQUEST: How to hit up hidden frequecy lists?
by Peter Ryan 03 Jan '18

03 Jan '18

Geez, guys. My question seems like an easy one to answer. Will no one respond to my issue? I saved a new programming list to CHIRP (Macbook/Valley Enterprise cable/Yaesu FT-60) but I can't find it. One other earlier list shows in the "menu bar", but how do I find the second list? I new-named it, and then re-"saved" the list every 10 frequencies. Where the devil does it live, and how do I get it front-and-center when I need to upload it to a new radio? Or if the software reads my "new list" as no more than added frequencies to the initial one, why are the new frequencies not showing in the original list? Thanks

Hi. Other than for software that just isn't available for anything other than Windows, there is no reason whatsoever to try to use WINE to run Chirp under Linux. Just go to:- https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download And follow the instructions how to get the version you need for your OS. There is even a "Live CD" (bootable self contained system) version! As well as the ability to run it directly from a "tarball" file once the contents are extracted. https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux I do have some Windows specific programs that I need to use, that do run well under WINE, but sadly the DMR codeplug software from Motorola will not install, as the installer needs .NET version whatever, and the Mono equivalent tools are not compatible. All my other radio programming and configuring needs are happily done via Chirp running natively under Linux. As to the serial port issue, it's a "symbolic link" that you create, that in effect redirects references to (for example) COM1: to /dev/ttyUSB0 Job done. As you say, instructions are available how to do that from many sources. I would also dispute the assumption re the probably low importance of the handshake lines. Many radio's use them to enter programming mode, enable some esoteric mode, and/or exit from such modes. It is best to use the version of Chirp, that is natively configured for your OS, rather than try to bludgeon it into working via an abstraction layer, that can itself impose "other feature" you may not want.. 73.

Re: [chirp_users] CHIRP and Mac High Sierra

Hi again. Other thought. Are you running as a user with "permissions" to use Serial ports? In some of the Linux world, that'd be, as a member of the "Dialout" group. (I have no idea if Mac OS, though based on BSD uses the same scheme.) Do you have other USB/serial port adapter using equipment/gadgets that do work OK, if so you could look into and find out how that references attached USB<>RS232 devices. Also, after some googling (Always your first port of call) I see others with similar problems, who found that using an external USB hub device (connected via the Thunderbolt main port) allowed all sorts of "other" vendor kit to work, that just would not when connected directly to the Mac. (Mac Mini's in those cases I think.) Maybe the Serial adapters are asking for too much power? Unlikely, but? Lastly, you say you "Ran all the terminal codes." but you don't actually list exactly what you tried, and what the results were. I don't know how exactly, but I suspect that even Mac's have a command line option, or even a GUI tool, to examine what hardware you have connected to what port and tell you how it would appear to an application, or tell you why it can't be used. I see many Mac users attempting to use them for Ham Radio work. Unless they are using pre-made commercial applications designed and built for Mac's, they usually have lots of trouble. (There are exceptions.) You need to list the exact computer model, specification and version you have, the exact OS version you're running, plus any error or alert messages you get, from commands you try. Then, someone else here who's also a Mac user will probably be able to guide you through the maze and hopefully get it sorted. 73. Dave G0WBX.

[chirp_users] CHIRP and Mac High Sierra
by T.E. Klamberg Klamberg 01 Jan '18

Thanks for adding me to the mailing list. I have two Yaesu radios, FT-60 dual bander and FT-2900 2m mobile. I would like to use programming software to set up both radios. It seems that my biggest problem is I have a Mac laptop and not a PC. RT Systems carries a great amount of radios that they have the software for, but it is all Windows driven and apparently work arounds for Mac are a lot of trouble. So much for RT Systems. I have heard from members of my ARC that CHIRP is really the only way to go, until I tell them I have a Mac. Many told me, “Good luck! You’re on your own”. It is strange that Mac users, with ham radio, are left out in the cold. I have a MacBook Pro with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 processor. I have macOS High Sierra, Ver 10.13.2. From what I have seen on the CHIRP website, High Sierra has not been interfaced with CHIRP, yet. Before I spend money on programming cables for either of my radios, I need to know if my OS will be compatible with CHIRP and, not being a software geek on Apple products, how much pain may I encounter with loading CHIRP and successfully using a CSV file to program frequencies into either of my Yaesu rigs. I appreciate any insight or help you may be able to provide me. Thank you. Tip Klamberg N9MVX Mascoutah, IL 62258

The only info I'd add, is to find out how to prevent your OS from sleeping an application and also from powering down what it things are unused USB ports. I'm not a Mac owner/user, but I hear that "AppNap" causes *A LOT* of issues. Also, research and find out how the serial ports are identified on your particular system, and how to search for those that *Really* exist. Mac OS's are based on BSD, so there might be some help there. Find out how to get to a command line terminal display, and learn the basics of how to search for and do stuff there. Just as the rest of us with other 'Nix related boxes have learnt. (ls /dev/ttyUSB* for example will list the real existing ports on a debian/ubuntu based Linux system.) dave@G0WBX-Dell-System-XPS-L502X ~ $ ls /dev/ttyUSB* /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/ttyUSB2 /dev/ttyUSB3 That is on my Linux Mint box, but Mac's / BSD's etc will almost certainly have something similar. "|ls /dev/tty.*"| As one website I found indicates... Not having a mac here, I cant test that. Also, as Randy said, steer clear of clone chip-sets. ONLY buy stuff like that from authorised resellers, not eBay. Disclaimer! I have had good genuine stuff from eBay, but I've also had a lot of clone rubbish. (I did have one chip that was physically marked up with the FTDI logo and part number etc, but when connected to a computer, it announced itself as a Prolific chip! I felt sorry for the seller, who was non technical, just acting as a re-seller themselves. We figured out he had over a thousand fake devices. He was not happy, but apologised gave me a full refund without asking, and took the devices back. For that alone I gave him good feedback.) Yes, it'll probably cost more from DigiKey or ??? But you'll know you have the "Genuine" article, and if it proves otherwise, you can return it. "Silicon Labs" (SiLabs) devices are good too. Linux recognises them OK, I have no idea regarding Mac OS's. It has to be said though, that a lot of the current clones are actually quite functional, unless you want to do something special, like re-assign the I/O pins, as you are supposed to be able to do with FTDI parts. (A useful feature, for radio programming leads.) Lastly, don't trust pre-made leads from eBay. Again, I'm sure there are good ones, but again I've also found via others experiences, that there is a lot of stuff there is wired wrong, & very wrong at times! (Mind you, some of the radio manuals are very misleading in this respect too.) Best if possible to build your own programming cables. It's not difficult at all, it just takes a little time to learn about it, and build and test etc. But, in the long term, you can then build/adapt a cable "on the fly" when needed. 73 and Happy New Year to All of the Chirp team.

[chirp_users] USB serial ports and Linux/WINE
by Tom Consodine ND5Y 01 Jan '18

01 Jan '18

I have no problems using USB serial ports with Windows software running on Linux/WINE. One of the reasons I switched to Linux was one USB cable I have would work on Windows 7 but not on Windows 10. You have to configure the serial port permissions in Linux. There are instructions for doing that on the Chirp web site. If you are using WINE 2.8 or later you might have to configure the port settings in WINE or manually make a "registry" key. There are instructions for doing that on their web site at https://wiki.winehq.org/index.php?title=Wine_User%27s_Guide&oldid=2519#Seri… Versions before that only require making a link in the wine folder to the port. Older versions of WINE before about 1.7 don't support all the RS-232 lines. This probably isn't an issue for radio programming cables that only use TXD and RXD lines but it is if you need the RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR lines to work properly. -- Tom ND5Y

[chirp_users] Lost "Saved As" lists
by Peter Ryan 31 Dec '17

31 Dec '17

Hi Guys: Newbie here got through to a Macbook/CHIRP hook-up through the Valley Enterprise cable for the Yaesu FT60, but I can't seem to get the program to update new frequency entries. I got the initial input to a "Save As" page (image?) for the 2M repeaters, but I decided to make a new "Save As" list after adding the 440 repeater frequencies, dutifully "saving" to the new list every 10 frequencies for safety. But now I can't find the second new, updated list anywhere. I thought maybe Chirp wouldn't pull it up unless I was in the "RX" mode (since the initial Chirp "save" list was just a dupe of the TX list now in my radio), but going to "Import" mode didn't do anything other than show the initial 2M repeater page. How do I pull up the second "Saved As" list that I know, short of a bug in Chirp, exists somewhere in the software? Thx...Peter K1PBR

[chirp_users] Yaesu VX-8DR Won't communicate
by Brian Toohey 28 Dec '17

28 Dec '17

Anyone have any advice on getting my new Yaesu VX-8DR to communicate? Each time I try the radio will show "ERROR" after a few moments and a short time later CHIRP will show "An error has occurred Failed to communicate with the radio: No response from radio" I've tried the following:-2 different cables (one Prolific from GoodQBuy and one FTDI from Valley Enterprises) both produce same result.-Setting radio into clone mode and starting to transmit only after starting receive in CHIRP.-Downloaded newest version of CHIRP.-Ran updates and rebooted PC.-Switched USB ports (with cables).-Updated drivers for both cables.-Factory reset on radio.-Selected other radio models when downloaded (VX-8, VX-8R and VX-8GE).-Checked connection at the radio and it appears to be tight. I've used CHIRP on Baofeng, BTECH and a few other brands/models and never encountered an issue that wasn't easily resolved. Any help or advice is much appreciated! -73Brian WB2EE

[chirp_users] CHIRP Installation problem (Win7-64bit)
by en 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Hello all, this is my first post here. I have used Chirp for connecting with my Baofeng UV 5R in the past. Today I got a new computer (nominally very similar to the old one): ThinkPad T460 64 bit with Windows 7. I have downloaded the CHIRP daily installer and when I start to install (after being asked about the location for the installation) I get the message that I copy below. If I hit Ignore another similar message comes up (with a missing .dll file) and so on many others error messages appear. I have restarted the computer several times (as I am installing other programs as well), but nothing has changed. Do you have any suggestion on what I am missing? Thanks! ed [image: Inline image 1]

[chirp_users] CW ID Broadcast
by Korey Frazier 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Hi, I work at a camp and conference center in southern New Mexico. We are remotely located and have poor cell coverage so we utilize radios to communicate around the camp. We have a repeater in our main office with an antenna on top of the building and a license to use the frequency that it broadcast at. For years we have bought our radios from a company that would program them and then mail them to us, ready to use out of the box. For a long time we were buying Kenwood TK-3200's and then we switched to some RCA radios because they were a little cheaper. Recently though we bought a pack of Baofeng BF-888S's on Amazon for WAY cheaper than the other radios we had been buying. The guy who set our repeater up programmed them using CHIRP and sent them to us with some basic instructions. The only issue we have is that our repeater broadcasts our CW ID every 30 minutes and the new Baofeng radios pick it up every time. Our old Kenwood and RCA radios do not pick this up unless someone happens to be using their radio during the CW ID broadcast. Other than that though the Kenwood and RCA's never pick it up. If there is a way, we would like to change the programming on the Baofeng radios so that they do not hear the CW ID broadcast. Does anybody know how to make that happen? Neither the Kenwood or RCA radios are supported by CHIRP so we can't see what the settings are on these radios. The cord that came with the Baofeng radios to connect to the computer also fits the Kenwood but not the RCA. Also, I am completely new to radios and their programming. I am just trying to fix this one problem. Thanks for any help Korey

Agreed. Comma Separated Variable (CSV)a d Tab Separated Variable (TSV) are the most universal formats to transfer between spreadsheet programs, which includes CHIRP (and other radio programming software). You can use Excel, etc to print it out as a reference sheet out in the field.

[chirp_users] MacOS 10.13.1 breaks FTDI drivers?
by Charley Bratton 07 Dec '17

07 Dec '17

After loading High Sierra (10.13.1) last night, my macbook running the current version of Chirp will no longer communicate with any of my radios. Moving the same radio and cable to another Mac, also running the 20171104 version of Chirp, everything is normal. It appears that although the FTDI cable is recognized in the System Report on the USB bus, Chirp can no longer reach the serial interface on the radio. I reloaded Python runtime module, but no improvement. Also went to FTDI and loaded their v2.4.2 drivers for MacOS. Also no help. Chirp’s debug log keeps saying “Radio did not respond” My FTDI cable has LEDs. When attached to the 10.13.1 machine, no lights are flashing when attempting to download from the radio or upload to the radio. Any suggestions for next steps? Debug log attached. - Charley

[chirp_users] OS-X Version Pointer offset
by Jerome Whelan 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

Has anyone else experienced this and can let me know what is happening? I am experiencing a Chirp human interface display peculiarity using the Mac OS-X version: When the menu “/View/Hide_Tab_Bar” is selected the on-screen pointer behaves properly; that is the tip of the arrow cursor causes on-screen objects to highlight when hovering above the object, and objects activate when clicked; nothing abnormal. When the menu “/View/Show_Tab_Bar” is selected, the on-screen pointer behaves abnormally; that is on-screen objects highlight and activate when the tip of the arrow cursor is higher on the screen than the object highlighting or being activated. The distance of this offset error appears to be about the height of the “Tab_Bar” that is being shown or hidden. The horizontal placement of cursor tip is correct. Software versions I am using now are as follows: CHIRP daily-20171204 GTK 2.24.10 PyGTK 2.22.0 Python 2.7.2 macOS High Sierra version 10.13.1 (17B1003) I observed this on my Macintosh as far back as a version that identifies as “Chirp 0.3.1” Thanks for the insights - Jerry

I know it's not on the list for CHIRP, but you seem like a bright bunch 😊 Somebody is dumping these things on Aussie Ebay with a bizarre assortment of 145 MHz simplex frequencies in them.

I cannot get my new radio (Baofeng model UV-5R-3 tri-band from MTC) to respond to a "Download From Radio" using CHIRP. The radio shows no indication that it is being accessed. My other Baofeng (regular UV-5R) is working on the same computer as expected.
