[chirp_users] uv5r driver makes mem.duplex and mem.offset immutable for gt-5r
by jackson＠f-m.fm 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

I've been using chirp for a few days and I've run into an issue. Lines 1036-1041 of uv5r.py, specifically. The radio can be put into "factory mode" (freeband mode) by starting it up while holding moni+ptt+vfo/mr but these lines in the driver preclude duplex operation outside the amateur bands. I plan on keeping it in "amateur" mode most of the time, but I would like these channels to be programmed correctly. I presume these lines exist just to prevent having an uplink frequency out of band with downlink in-band, but would it not suffice just to warn the user rather than lock these settings down? As a temporary measure, can I simply comment these lines out? FYI, switching between "factory" and "amateur" (ptt+5) modes did not appear to affect the image that chirp downloads as they both had an identical checksum. Any relevant info is appreciated. Jackson

[chirp_users] Icom IC-746Pro
by Eric Poole 23 Feb '24

23 Feb '24

Good afternoon all, from a new Chirp user. Is there a difference between the Icom IC-746 and IC-746Pro in the way it communicates from the Remote port? I downloaded and installed Chirp and tried to connect to my IC-746Pro using the Chirp IC-746 configuration, and could not connect. Tried the same thing with my IC-7300 (using the Chirp IC-7300 configuration) and it connected and programmed the memories just fine, so the cable and the computer's USB port are working as they should. I did verify that CI-V is turned on in the radio and the address is set to 0x66. (Speaking of which, how do I set the address in Chirp? Maybe that's the problem...) Thanks...

[chirp_users] Help with Chirp re Baofeng UV-5R
by Phil C 16 Feb '24

16 Feb '24

Hi all. I believe this is the correct way to post asking for help with the Chirp program? If not, could you point me in the right direction please? I have a Baofeng UV-5R which I want to use to monitor radio traffic on 169.038MHz. Receive only, not transmit. According to the specs this should be possible, but the radio will not allow me to programme that frequency. A Google search has shown me that apparently some of these radios were shipped without that frequency band (136-174MHz) enabled, and that Chirp should allow me to reprogramme my handset to enable this. Currently the only range available is 400-520Mhz. I have downloaded Chirp and am waiting on a cable to allow me to connect the handset to the computer. If this reprogramming is possible would someone be able to tell me how to do it? Preferably in pretty basic steps, because although I'm reasonably tech-savvy and can hold my own with phone and computer apps like video editing etc I have never reprogrammed a radio and wouldn't know where to start. Thanks. Phil.

I had just finished a session with another ham where I explained CTCSS on several radios. I thought that the UV-5s showed + or -, like the others. I was wrong. I just checked them both.

I have the BaoFeng UV-5RTP and the BTECH UV-5X3. I program them with chirp, and nary a problem. The images that show both +- on at the same time give me pause. I don't have any experiences with Baofeng, Kenwood, Icom, and Yaesu that has them both on. So...is there some way to do a factory reset on the Baofeng UV-5R8W? Offhand I'd not trust any operation unless I felt sure that the radio was operating 100% iaw mfg intent. And...a chirp list related note...I had saved the original email for this thread, because of the images, but when I looked it up on the chirp mail list, all that I saw were the replies. 73 Rich NE1EE On 2024-02-14 10:35:, A Boer wrote: >Good day, CHIRP Users!

When I want to use 2 radios to check, I either place one in another room with the volume up so that I can hear it, or I place it farther away, and use my phone to record a few minutes, giving me time to return to the first radio and send a test message, return and stop the recording.

[chirp_users] Kenwood D74 MEM_FORMAT Oddity
by Jacob Lewallen 09 Feb '24

09 Feb '24

Hello all, I was reading over the Kenwood D74 code in https://github.com/kk7ds/chirp/blob/master/chirp/drivers/thd74.py and noticed something peculiar with the MEM_FORMAT specification. Looking closely at the channel information starting at offset 0x4000, by my math each of the channels takes up 40 bytes. This, combined with the 16 bytes of padding for each "group" places 6 channels in one 256 byte page, preventing channels from spanning pages makes sense to me. Then, there are 210 groups/pages. This is where things get odd. 210 * 256 = 53760, plus the offset of 0x4000 places the end of this region at 70144 (0x11200), which overlaps with the "names" section that starts at offset 0x10000. Am I missing something? Thanks, Jacob

[chirp_users] Problem with Baofeng settings
by David Garth 03 Feb '24

03 Feb '24

I have had three other Baofeng UV-5R radio and had no problems programming with Chirp. I’m using the latest Mac Chirp version. But, I just received a new UV5R, and, after downloading from the radio, creating a frequency list, and then uploading, I’m not able to get to the settings page. I get a blank page and an error message. (See attached.) I tried a menu “reset all” and a three-button “factory reset” to no avail. Any ideas?

[chirp_users] Baofeng GT-3WP errata
by d＠deutrino.net 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

Hello and thanks for running this list and providing CHIRP! I've picked up a Baofeng GT-3WP (and have 2 more coming in the mail) and overall they seem to work well after being flashed with CHIRP, I've noticed a couple issues though. 1. only 6 character channel names! 2. the 'B' or lower channel is set incorrectly compared to the intended setting in CHIRP. Has anyone else flashed this model recently? I'm curious if my experience is unique and if I should submit bugs on the issue tracker. Thanks-

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-9R Pro - flashing causes severe squelch problem
by d＠deutrino.net 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

Hello again, I obtained a pair of brand new Baofeng UV-9R Pro units a few months ago and promptly flashed one with CHIRP. Unfortunately it seems that flashing the unit causes some kind of strange problem with squelch. I've seen this referenced a few times elsewhere when searching the problem, forum posts, Amazon reviews etc, though I don't know if this happens with all units or just some (and would love to hear info from anyone who's flashed them). Observations, hopefully somewhat accurate: 1. After flashing the radio with CHIRP, when it is tuned to a continuous channel such as NOAA weather radio, the squelch cuts in and out so badly that the radio is more or less unusable. 2. The radio, before flashing, and after factory reset, reliably receives the same channel without squelch problems when placed in the same location, which indicates that the problem is not one of low signal or interference. 3. Setting the squelch to 0 in the menu does not have a positive effect on the problem. 4. The squelch problem can be temporarily "cured" by pressing one of the buttons, e.g. the menu button. At this point, the squelch will perform normally for several seconds before going back to the broken behavior, in the case of the menu button, possibly when the button press "times out". Has anyone else noticed this or know of a fix or workaround? I am happy to assist debugging if desired. Just trying to see if there is anything I've missed before opening an issue. Thanks- -- Sent from my thing that sends email

[chirp_users] Baofeng GM-5RH
by Joel McClure 28 Jan '24

28 Jan '24

I got this GMRS radio on Amazon, and it seems like nobody else bought it. The number of Baofeng variations is silly. It looks exactly like the Baofeng 5RM / AR-5RM (the ham version). I was hoping selecting "5RM" in CHIRP would work, but an error results. Has anybody gotten CHIRP or any other programming software to work with a GM-5RH? Thank you!

[chirp_users] question on configuring a frequency
by rob banks 23 Jan '24

23 Jan '24

Yep, it is a local university that I am going to be working at and found that their security had a freq, i thought I would listen in, listen only, but it looked weird to me. I was able to program a channel in my ht but only get some weird noise, I was wondering if there was some translation required that needed those c12 and type R values to make it audible....if it is at all, maybe it is just digital signal in general and I would not be able to get anything out of it. Really just curious to see what it was as i had not come across those values before. good winds Rob Re: [chirp_users] question on configuring a frequency To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Message-ID: <24CB14B8-61A5-4A67-847B-297CE6C3CE2D(a)n2vip.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" So a quick google leads me to believe this is a law enforcement frequency, so I'll ask what is the service you hope to monitor? Where did you get that listing? If we know what you hope to monitor, we may find an alternate source for the information. That C12 tone setting looks vendor-specific, it likely 'maps' to either a standard DCS or CTCSS tone. Unless it is a digital mode Color code, but that feels unlikely...

It is a bug in the firmware in the radio. There are a bunch of other known firmware bugs. My modified CPS provides a 50+ page manual which includes a section on firmware bugs - look for the section titled "Known radio firmware issues". You can get my modified CPS from the miklor.com website. Before you ask, there are no public firmware updates. Even the seller (Global Walkie Talkie Store) can't get them, even just to update their inventory. Radios ordered before roughly November 2023 came with firm- ware 1.27, radios ordered since come with Firmware 1.28. The new vers- ion does not fix any known bugs, it just adds a mysterious "Dis ANI" menu option and allows changing the Tx power on-the-fly using the "8" key on the keypad. -- Terri Kennedy

Re: [chirp_users] Icom IC-2100H, Excel spreadsheet, csv files, chirp-next-20240111-win64
by Rich NE1EE 20 Jan '24

20 Jan '24

I completed testing and filed a bug report. Summary: Testing indicates that chirp import routine for this radio doesn't handle either empty fields or "spaces" in fields that are otherwise properly csv-delimited. Until this is changed, we must FILL referenced fields, even when not used, and CLEAR otherwise empty fields, such as Duplex. It's the work of a few minutes to do this. Otherwise, Excel files seem to work when exported to csv and imported into chirp, so there is no format flaw introduced by Excel, such as the wrong number of trailing commas, etc., at least in my testing and use. 73 Rich NE1EE

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV82 HW?
by K0LNY ?? 16 Jan '24

16 Jan '24

Hello, I am working on a friend's Baofeng, which lost its memories and was completely reset and he does not know how that happened. He set it to English again, and all the memories are gone. So he thought the model is a UV 82 HW But that is not in the list in Chirp. I downloaded the latest Chirp tonight. I was able to download and upload using both choices UV 82 and UV 82 HP The other two UV 82 choices came back with the error like not expected amount of data from radio. So the memories gave me an error about a field that wasn't right, and I okayed that and uploaded without a glitch. But there still aren't any memories in the radio. But when I download from the radio, they are all there. So what would cause this radio to not use the memories? It is in channel mode. It only goes from 0 to 127. Is this a radio issue, or a problem with the IMG? Thanks Glenn A man with a clock always knows what time it is. A man with two clocks is never sure. -- A derivative of Segal's law

[chirp_users] Entering airband frequencies
by Roland Welte 15 Jan '24

15 Jan '24

Dear Chirp Community, I am using Chirp Next with a BAOFENG 5RX radio. Since this particular radio is not among the supported devices I select radio BAOFENG UV-5R, which generally works fine. However, the 5RX radio covers airband frequencies (108-136 MHz) which the UV-5R does not, so Chirp won't let me enter airband frequencies (although downloading these frequencies from the radio works fine). Is there a trick to circumvent Chirp's validity checks when entering frequencies? Your help with this is very much appreciated, Roland

by Rich NE1EE 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

GM, all, Thanks for this bit of testing. I intend to do my best to keep track of this topic, because I need to be clear in my docs to the ARES group. As an erstwhile software engineer and programmer, I expect that the record reading routine instantiates a record structure populated with defaults, then proceeds to read the csv, filling in any valid data found. That would seem to create only valid complete records. I've been using chirp-next, so that accounts for some of my success. I see that I am not using URCALL,RPT1CALL,RPT2CALL,DVCODE but I have ,,,, at the end of each line. I am using MS Office 2010, which I have been using for years, though I see that there have been updates to it that I have accepted. 1. In the spreadsheet, I CLEAR all unused cells...I don't just leave them "apparently" empty. I Save As csv file. (all these files are available upon request) 1a. I open an img file from the 2100H, then IMPORT the csv (it IS an option, even if the popup says it isn't recommended), it appears that the img is updated SOMEWHAT correctly. Some memory lines are left blank, and I dont't see why...the csv lines look fine to me. If chirp sees too many commas in a row, does it get tired of processing nothing, and skip the rest of the line? Because I have this 4,EROCK4,147.465000,,,,,,23,NN,23,Tone->Tone,FM,5.00,,50W,EAST ROCK VOICE ONLY,,,, and it is skipped. 2. If I choose to OPEN the csv file, the result is the same...I have blank lines in the csv file tab in chirp. 3. I then filled (spreadsheet) Offset, rToneFreq, cToneFreq with valid data, even though those fields are not used. For example, if a channel is simplex, there is no offset. If no tone option is specified, no tone value is needed. Hence CLEARing the fields in the spreadsheet, rather than leaving them "blank". If I don't CLEAR them, I get spaces twixt commas. I don't know how chirp handles those. 4,EROCK4,147.465000,,0.600000,,88.5,88.5,23,NN,23,Tone->Tone,FM,5.00,,50W,EAST ROCK VOICE ONLY,,,, 3a. I then opened the csv in chirp. The import stopped at line 23, but I suspect that is because the rest of the channels don't match the 2100H freq range (154.9..162.475). I'll check the specs. BUT now all the formerly blank lines are filled. 3b. I copied lines 1..23 from the csv tab to lines 1..23 in the ing tab, and it seems that all lines are correct. *** Unsed fields (see #3 above) are showing blank, as expected. I havna had a chance to load it into a 2100H and then read it, to see how that looks. BUT it seems that chirp is making some decisions I don't understand. I havna run into this before, because I tend to fill all fields, whether used or not, with defaults. 4. I checked the 2100H specs. The RX is listed as 136�174 MHz, BUT *Guaranteed 144�148 MHz only. Nonetheless, the deleted lines contain what seems to me to be valid data. 73 Rich NE1EE The Dusty Key On the banks of the Piscataqua

No, we do not discourage them, and fixing CSV issues is a priority (for me at least) for sure. Jim and others' points are correct that CSV is not *necessary* just to transfer data between different models. CSV may be an unnecessary step if that's all you're using it for. The CSV driver in CHIRP is different from others in that it can basically record any frequency on any band with any set of other attributes (like mode, tone modes, etc) which no real driver would ever allow. It's for that reason that I maintain my master frequency plan in a CSV file because the entire thing isn't accepted by any single radio I own. CSV is perfect for that. The thing about CSV is that it is an _encoding_ and not a format. CHIRP has it's own method of using CSV to encode the data structures it needs to represent, and that of course, doesn't match with any other program. Excel (or other spreadsheet) can edit CSV files in a generic way and thus can be used in place of the CHIRP memory editor in principle. However, the user, or Excel (or both) can easily mess up the structure of the data while preserving the low-level CSV encoding (or could mess up the encoding as well) and make a file no longer readable in CHIRP. Within reason, those sorts of issues may be within the realm of something we want to fix, but of course, we can't and won't be able to read the mind of the person or tool that mangled one of our CSV files into doing the right thing. Rich, you're wrong in your description of how we read a record and construct a memory from it (with respect to "defaults") for reasons I won't go into in depth here. You may (or may not) be right that we're choking on something that should be able to handle and thus could make a change. However, as you can see from the philosophical discussion here - this is probably not the best place to ask the question generically. If you think you've messed up your CSV file and want help with fixing it, then this might be the right forum (although without a sample of what you've got that doesn't work, nobody can provide anything useful). If you think what you've got should be accepted, then please open a bug, attach your log and the file you're trying to import, and let those of us that can do something about it have a look. --Dan _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Nick at papanick(a)netzero.net To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com To report this email as off-topic, please email chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Searchable archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com

[chirp_users] programming assistance
by Bobby Creech 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

hi, I'm new to this handheld scene. Been using a CB but our group wants to switch to GMRS. Anyway the "radio enthusiast" that is helping out by programming everyone's radio provided a csv file. However he's using RTSystems to program them so the columns don't match. I asked him about it, but he states he is unfamiliar with Chirp and doesn't know how to line them up (I sent him the column headers from the Chirp img file, but I think he ignored it. I would think it wouldn't be too hard for a radio guy to rearrange the columns.). He says I can bring the radio to the next meeting and he will program it. I thought about that, since then I could download it with Chirp and figure it out myself. But I don't really want to wait until the next meeting. Anyone could help me line up the columns if I provide the csv? (is it ok to share a radio csv?, I figure it's all just freqs that have labels added so the user knows what channel is what) Thanks in advance

Not sure in what way Excel is not compatible with chirp? I am using it as I develop and share a list of Emergency Op Ctr channels. The initial pass consisted of reading from a IC-2100H (most of the local EOCs are using this), saving both img and csv, editing the csv in Excel, and using the results to upload to the 2100. I didn't have a problem...maybe the error is radio-dependent? I think I have asked this before, and I need to develop a process for others in the area to follow, so I am curious about this. 73 Rich NE1EE The Dusty Key On the banks of the Piscataqua On 2024-01-09 20:21:, D.J.J.

[chirp_users] "Failed to communicate with radio: Incorrect ACK on serial port."
by website mail 06 Jan '24

06 Jan '24

I recently got a Yaesu FT-65. I didn't get the programming cable from Yaesu (it's $40), but I did get one that works for it that has the same chip. I'm running Windows 11 and have the latest version of chirp. When I plug the radio in and press read from radio, I get the error message "Failed to communicate with radio: Incorrect ACK on serial port." I've tried different cables, drivers, different modes on the radio, looked through the issues, looked up the error, I even tried it on a spare laptop running Linux to see if Windows was the problem. Same error there. Is it the cable or something else? If anyone knows or had this problem before I'd really appreciate the help! Thanks

Hallo and good morning, anybody on the list active in programming and can tell me, how to get information aboput data structures and communication protocol on serial tty, to understand what is happening? I want to modify code to add support for anytone at 5555 and have no idea how to get it. I thought about sniffing rs232 from a windows machine to reverse engineering, but have and want no windows machine here. Now i am searching for a short intruduction or some tips where to get the information without analyzing serial port communication. Maybe some handy developers are present on that list and can send me a bit information. In the case of success, of course i will share my results! Best regards Chris (I am able in programming C)

[chirp_users] Trying to get VOX working on an RT20

Hello. One of the reasons I bought a bunch of RT20s was that they supposedly come with VOX. Why on earth don't they preload it if the thing is advertised to come with it? I am trying to talk to the radio via a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), running 10.15.7 (Catalina). I have installed CHIRP legacy. I went to Download from Radio, but the RT20 isn't listed. I am sorry if this is a repeat question, but I couldn't find a searchable version of the archives. Thank you! K

[chirp_users] Install experience on Linux Mint 21.2
by Matt Foster 30 Nov '23

30 Nov '23

I had been using Chirp on Windows 11 without issue, but I decided I wanted to give it a shot on my Mint 21.2 (Victoria) laptop. The following is what I noted. FWIW...I consider myself to be pretty well-versed in Linux, although my experience with Ubuntu-based distros is lesser and more recent. - Installed the dependencies with 'apt install' with no issue. - "managed flag" vs "no managed flag"...I wasn't sure what this meant, and there isn't any explanation other than Ubuntu and Debian version numbers. It looks like maybe it has something to do with Python virtual environments. I had to dig around a little to find that my Mint version is based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, so NO "managed flag". I feel like other, less experienced, Linux users might struggle a bit to figure this out. - I had downloaded the latest .whl file into ~/Downloads, so...'pip install Downloads/chirp-blah.whl'. This worked fine, and chirp launches out of ~/.local./bin. - A step could be saved if pip were just pointed to the whl file online. Would it be possible to have something like 'chirp-latest.whl' that links to the latest version? Overall, it was pretty smooth and I completed the steps in about 10 minutes, including figuring out the Mint vs Ubuntu version thing, although I have not yet had Chirp communicate with a radio! ;-) -- 73, Matt, N0EYE

OS: Linux Mint v20.3 Uma Python installs are so unwieldy... Why would anyone choose that over C++ Source ?! Did as instructed for the install of the .whl file, made sure all the depends where there (I already had all of the most recent versions installed). Ran the command for the UnManaged (Ubu v22.10<) on the wheel file, and got interpreter failure... Will try running it directly on the tar.gz archive, but not hopeful.

And have the associated data files available THERE... After reinstalling Py3.9 a couple times I FINALLY got chirp to install, but not without complaining about the out of date pip util. So I followed the instruct on how to upgrade that, and v21.3.1 is STILL being used. <sigh> Even though the upgrade to v23.3.1 succeeded. So I tried the install of chirp under another user and got an OSError Permission failures, so I 'sodo'd it and THIS is what I got... C was SO much more straight forward... WTF is 'testresources' ?! Tried it in a 'virtual environment' first and we know how THAT worked... And I *DID* upgrade pip you daffy computer !!! And WHY is there any "uninstalling" going on !?!? I guess if a Python is going to kill it's prey, it needs to confuse it first...

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-60R issue and fix endorsement
by jerry 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

Hi, I just wanted to endorse the "fix" that I gathered from the back and forth dialog on the issues board. I, too, found that I could download from the radio fine but it simply wouldn't upload. Seeing the OP got things to work with a new cable from BlueMax49ers.com I went ahead and ordered one although I could not see how the cable I used for years with other Yaesu radios did not work. Amazingly, the CT-91 BlueMax cable worked immediately and I just wanted to further endorse this "solution" to other FT-60 owners. Another suggestion: There seems to be a missing line in the instruction drop down for uploading to the radio. There is no prompt to hit the OK as the final step as there is on the download instruction. You do have to hit the OK button or the download will not start. Great program and great support. Thank you. Jerry

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-17 / UV-18
by Gary Halleen 09 Nov '23

I see that a dev driver for supporting UV-17/BF-17 series of radios, as well as the UV-18/BF-18 on Miklor. I’ve tried it and it seems to work fine on my UV-18 Pro I Black and on my UV-17 Pro L radios. It doesn’t support uploading a new logo, but everything else I’ve tried seems to be okay. Is there a plan for including this support directly into the Chirp-Next release in the near future? Thanks! Gary K7TRO

This sounds as if it should be true, but it is not. I have recently been working with exactly this problem...a link to an http URL //sometimes// is changed to https (not sure why, perhaps a DNS or browser problem), and an error msg is generated because the certificate doesn't match the link. In addition (not to argue, but to wonder), why not have the link be correct? I'm gonna guess it is a single change to a template.

[chirp_users] Quansheng UV-K6 scan issue
by Ken Hansen 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

Hello, I recently picked up a Quansheng UV-K6 Dual-band HT, and had an issue with scanning memory channels - I just wanted to share my findings here, I've opened a request for Chirp_next to change this. The issue is that manually programmed channels have a field "scanlists" that is set to "1+2", but new channels added thru chirp_next have this field blank, meaning the channel is not included in channel scanning by default. To access the "scanlists" setting, you have to enable "extra" settings under the View menu item in chirp_next. (Inside the radio, the scanlists setting is actually a couple different fields that combine to populate the chirp_next specific "scanlists" setting - there is no "scanlists" setting in the UV-K6 radio.) I had this issue running chirp_next 20231021. Ken, N2VIP

[chirp_users] Chirp will not install

I have downloaded Chirp several times. Try to install with No luck. I have tried different browsers. I have tried rebooting. I have tried in safe mode. I have tried all the tricks I can find on the internet, and nothing works. It's like something or some file is missing. I am at my wits end. The install gets to the screen to verify and agree to the license but nothing appears. No license. It sits there for about 5 seconds then vanishes and nothing more. I am on an HP Laptop using Windows 10. Please help. [62cc90ee-bbbd-4080-a05b-465351b94590]

I got the impression that the OP was "streaming" the thought. I suspect it meant that before working on computer internals, pay attention to operator grounding. My experience was that older edge connectors were subject to oxidation. Removing the device and rubbing the edge pins with a "genuine" rubber erase, which contains an abrasive (compare with the eraser that removes polymer lead marks), would scrub off the oxidation. Problem is that used aggressively it tended to wear right through the electrical coating on the pins.

This still begs the question: What about Chirp requires it to be built in 64-bit? Is it a requirement of the current version of Python? Mike, WB4TTZ -----Original Message----- From: Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>, Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Sent: Oct 20, 2023 4:12 PM To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Chirp will not install > No, Marc, it's not necessicarily a PC issue. We don't know yet, because when he responds he has yet to give us the Type of Windows 10 he is running. The installer is 32-bit and will run just fine on even a pretty old machine (32-bit and Windows XP), so there's really nothing about his system being incompatible that should be causing the behavior he's seeing. Thus, knowing the architecture and version of his OS is pretty immaterial at this point. I'd place serious money on it being some sort of "security" software killing the installer as soon as it sees it do something totally legit that it decides is suspicious. For the rest of the readers in this thread, the installer we use is a separate thing and not under the direct control of the CHIRP project. It's a 32-bit application because it doesn't need to be a 64-bit one and gives the best opportunity to run everywhere as a result. However, I'm working on adding an architecture and OS version check to the script so that it will positively identify these unsupported situations in the future. That will rule out any need to suspect these sorts of issues when someone reports a problem. --Dan _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Michael Jaggers at mej(a)mindspring.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com To report this email as off-topic, please email chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Searchable archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com

[chirp_users] R-tone and C-tone
by K0LNY ?? 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Hi, My local repeater uses 131.8 for a PL tone. I at one point had 88.5 in one place and 131.8 in the other. So I changed both to 131.8, and it seems that it should still work, but it isn't keying the repeater. I'm guessing the R in r-tone is for repeater, and the C in C-tone is CTCSS? Anyway, which one of these is the repeater wanting to hear to open up? Thanks. Glenn A man with a clock always knows what time it is. A man with two clocks is never sure. -- A derivative of Segal's law
