Re: [chirp_users] baofeng cable
by Lreiher 20 Feb '16

20 Feb '16

folks, thank you all for your efforts to help me out. the reality is that BENTON seems to have it correct. the cable i purchased was directly from baofeng. i believe that the source was china b/c when i wrote them they told me i bought it 14 mo.s ago and that it was listed as 'works w/ win vista, win7, win 8' and was never listed as for win 10. i pointed out that win 10 did not exist when i bought the cable! clearly, they have used a CLONE of the ftdi chip and, as benton noted, the drivers which FTDI loaded into my PC w/o my knowledge or permission was designed to send TRASH to my cable and render it inoperable! i proved that by using a friend's cable and it worked fine w/ my UV-5RTP; but, my cable on HIS pc is useless. the device mgr sees the cable but does NOT get thru it to see the radio. i asked baofeng if tthey would write code to FIX the cable since it is their shared fault for using a clone in the first place. they didnt respond to that message. now, i have reviewed about 15 programming cables; all - EXCEPT one - are less than $6; oNE is $20 and it is marked 'genuine FTDI cable'. so, i kknow that i could resolve this for 20 bucks. but i am pissed that FTDI trashed something i purchasedd in good faith FROM the manufacturer!! so, i was hoping someone had the expertise to write code to send to my cable to make it functional again. thanks again to you all for your input; however, i'm afraid that i'm still out in left field............. peace, larry KD9AVZ

Ok so I am wanting to use chirp to upload memories to my Icom IC-7200 Amateur Radio. Now the IC-7200 has a USB and a CIV connection. My understanding is that the USB should work, But I cannot seem to get it to work. I do not have a CIV cable. So does anyone have any experience with the IC-7200? Can I use the USB connection to upload memories? Or am I going to need a CIV cable? Thanks Bill

[chirp_users] BaoFeng UV-5RTP Firmware Version BFP3-25
by Dan Jolley 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

I just recently purchased a Baofeng UV-5RTP with Firmware Version BFP3-25. If I understand the instructions correctly on the danplanet website, then I should select the Baofeng BF-F8HP model in Chirp to program the UV-5RTP. Am I correct? According to the Chirp website, the Baofeng UV-5RTP is listed under the Baofeng BF-F8HP for programming compatibility. The following is copied from the danplanet Chirp website: BF-F8HP (in daily builds) Also includes the BF-A58 Also includes the BF-F9V2+ Also includes the GT-3TP Also includes the UV-5RTP Also includes the UV-5R7W Any help or information will be greatly appreciated!

[chirp_users] Column Differences
by Walt Childson 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

There are some new columns in the Img file but those columns do not get generated in CSV. In general the IMG columns, the memory Properties column list, the CSV columns and the WiKi column definitions are not in sync. I especially would like to use the Power column. 1. In the config file, if I change the column_order_rmemoryeditor column list to the values in the column_order_dstarmemoryeditor list, or add the missing columns to each so they are all inclusive on both, would that make the IMG and CSV identical? And also make the Generic csv the same? 2. And how will I be able to edit the Power (no values) and Skip (skip options are blank and S, no P) Thanks Walt N6STM

[chirp_users] 20160209 Build Issue
by Walt Childson 10 Feb '16

Filippi Marco worked on issue 3281 (Copying Special Channels), and I was under the impression it would be in this build. So I installed the 20160209 build. But my FT857D is no longer able to download to Chirp. I checked communications with another freeware product, and COM3 is working by directional. Attached is the Chirp log. 1. Is 3281 issue fixed in this build? 2. What is my current issue with the inability to download? As an FYI, I previously attempted to load a Boafeng software program for the GT-3TP, which did not work. But I did the full install of Chirp afterwards. Thanks for you help again. Walt N6STM

[chirp_users] Connectivity issues with Puxing PX-A6
by Kirill Elagin 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

Hello, I’ve got a Puxing PX-A6 and a cheap USB cable from China. Now I’m trying to make this setup work, but I’ve faced some issues, so I’m looking for help. The cable seems to have a PL-2303 inside, at least that’s what its USB IDs tell and it got picked up by pl2303 kernel module. Now, it _almost_ works. I use Puxing PX-2R driver with CHIRP. When I tell CHIRP to download data, it fails with `Failed to communicate with radio: Radio is not responding`. If I immediately try again, then it downloads successfully. I also noticed that when I connect the radio to my laptop, it starts transmitting (as in transmitting radio signal), likely because the cable plugs into the headset port. But it stops as soon as I open the tty using `socat` (`socat -x /dev/ttyUSB0 -`). When I exit `socat` it starts transmitting again after around 4 seconds. I believe this 4-second interval is the key to CHIRP succeeding, as it always succeeds when I hit “download” while the radio is not transmitting either immediately after the first attempt or immediately after exiting `socat`. I also tried setting up a pty using, again, `socat` to sniff the protocol. In this case the radio stops transmitting as soon as `socat` is started and, of course, using the pty, CHIRP successfully downloads channels from the first try. Well, my ultimate goal is to make their own programming software work (at least once, as I need to adjust some settings and after that I’ll happily stick to CHIRP), but it doesn’t. I thought, that understanding of what’s going on with CHIRP might help me figure out what to do next, so any ideas are welcome. Thanks. -- Кирилл Елагин

[chirp_users] Windows update for FTDI
by Jim Pruitt 03 Feb '16

03 Feb '16

As has been noted on here before, FTDI has updates that make non FTDI usb to serial adapters found in many programming cables inoperative by rewriting the device ID so moving it to a new computer won't help. I guess FTDI is at it again as mentioned in this TechRepublic article: http://www.techrepublic.com/article/ftdi-abuses-windows-update-pushing-driv… By sending out updated Windows drivers during automatic updates breaks counterfeit cables. So as has been mentioned here before, use older drivers. Thank you. Jim Pruitt

[chirp_users] How to set CIV address for Icom Radios
by David Hagood 31 Jan '16

31 Jan '16

In trying to use the new bank memory support in Chirp on my IC-7000, at first I was unable to get Chirp to work. I found that Chirp seems to be using a fixed address of 0x70 for the radio. My radio is set to 0x58 due to my screwdriver controller, and so Chirp didn't want to talk to the radio until I temporarily changed the CIV address on the radio. It would be nice if Chirp would allow changing the address it assumes the radio is on. I cannot find a bug report for that; should I try to submit one?

New to CHIRP, haven't used it yet. Also new to my radio (Yaesu FT857D) and a new General. So forgive me if I'm not asking any intelligent questions. I have two 1. Can a power setting be set for an individual frequency via the image file? As an example, if I wanted to use a MURS frequency, it has the 2 watt limit. Is this an option that can be added? 2. I have a CAT/Bluetooth cable which I would like to use to connect to my radio through CHIRP, is that possible? If so, how do I accomplish that? Thanks for your help Walt

[chirp_users] inexpensive Dual Band Mobile radios?
by Dave Nathanson 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

[This is sort of off-topic, but hinges on CHIRP support for the radio] Howdy, I'd like to get a recommendation for a dual band mobile radio for a new ham that will (probably) not use it a whole lot. But it needs to work reliably enough, even if not a lot of features. Actually less features is fine, that is just less stuff to not understand & less to forget between uses! :-) Mounting a UV5R in a car doesn't seem like a good idea. Can anyone offer anything good or bad about any "inexpensive" mobile dual band ham radio, including the Leixen VV-898 or Jetstream JT270M (apparently the same radio). It is one of the few cheap Mobile units I see on the list of CHIRP supported radios. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home Amazon reviews seem fairly ok, especially for $99. I'm interested in a CHIRP-supported radio. This is intended for an 1997 Jeep Cherokee, and a small radio is probably a better match. It does need to be a dual bander. If the cost gets anywhere even near $200, I'd just recommend the Yaesu 7900 or Yaseu 8800. But for this situation, I'm open to hearing about cheaper alternatives that I might be able to recommend until this new ham grows into the "sport". Thanks for your helpful council. 73, Dave Nathanson KG6ZJO PS: if you know of a better forum to ask about CHIRP compatible mobile radios, it's ok to shoot me a pm or direct email about it.

[chirp_users] Wrong version number being reported - fixed
by David Chatterton 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Just a follow-up to my previous message on the above. Today's upgrade to 20160128~wily~1, as offered through Ubuntu's Software Updater, was installed as expected and the correct version (CHIRP daily-20160128) was displayed in the About CHIRP pane. It seems that the exercise of searching the computer for any remaining Chirp files and deleting them before re-installing the latest version (via the Synaptic Package Manager) did the trick. Thanks once again for your helpful advice. David Chatterton M6FNY

Jim; I have had a VV-898 for a little over a year. Great little radio, I have a little Mirage B-34 amplifier for it.

[chirp_users] Inexpensive Dual Band Radios
by rdhutch＠pacbell.net 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

I have a Leixen 898, and It seems to have a not very selective receive front end. I used it as an in-home local repeater monitor and I received some out of band land mobile radio stations, including a busy local ambulance service, while tuned to my local ham repeaters. I replaced the Leixen with the 25W KT-8900 and the problem went away. Granted I live in an RF rich environment (Southern, CA area(), but for this reason, I advocate purchasing one of the KT-8900 variants for under $100 on Amazon. it's approximately the same size, seems better built, is equally portable, and less susceptible to interference. Just my observations, 73 de Ray, AE6H

Thanks for the advice. I removed the existing installation of chirp-daily using the Synaptic Package Manager (despite the fact that it was reporting the installed version as the latest 20160116~wily~1). I then searched for any files on the computer that had a name including chirp using the Files app and deleted them using terminal and sudo rm (-r) in the folder where they were found. (Some seemed to belong to previous installations of chirp.) I then did a fresh installation of chirp-daily listed under Amateur Radio in the Synaptic Package Manager. Chirp-daily now reports the correct (and latest) version in its About window. It remains to be seen what happens when the Software Updater offers the next version. (I have the chirp-snapshots ppa listed in Other Software in the Software & Updates panel.) Hopefully it will now report the version installed.

[chirp_users] FT7900r programmer
by Jon GrosJean 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

I am going to make a FT7900r programmer using an FTDI-1232 board which can be set for 3.3V or 5V logic level. The FT7900r uses 5V logic. There is an internal 4.7k pull up resistor on the PTT line, so an external pull-up is not needed. My question is about the data polarity. The DL8WA board inverts the RS-232 data on both receive and transmit. Maybe the person writing the program wrote it to work this way. Should I invert the outputs of the FTDI board when used with CHIRP? If not, a simple diode could be used on the TX data output to pull down the PTT input. If everything should be inverted, then a couple of transistors could be used. I will make my circuit available when finished.

[chirp_users] Error importing to VV-898

Hi All, Just purchased a Leixen VV-898. Downloaded the base image from the radio no problem. Went to import a CSV file of my channels and getting the following error.. [cid:image001.png@01D15536.B2DD7D70] The same CSV file is OK for all my other radio's, but not to Leixen. Once you press OK, the whole program hangs. Any help appreciated. Marc

[chirp_users] Ubuntu PPA version not up to date?
by Derek Tombrello 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

I have installed CHIRP on my Ubuntu 14.04LTS laptop using the PPA method as described here - http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download I kept getting "radio refused to send block xxx" errors, although it worked fine using the Windows under VirtualBox. After reading the bug reports, I tried using the "manual install" found here - http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux That worked perfectly. Looking at the About page, I see that the PPA version installed is 0.4.1 while the source version is daily-20160116. I'm just curious as to why the PPA version is not (or does not appear to be) up to date? Thanks. -- ✞ Derek Tombrello (KM4JAG) www.RobotsAndComputers.com/blog Southern Pride "First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out.

Hey guys, I recently Purchased a Pofung UVTEN-4 dual-band handheld.

[chirp_users] Wrong version being reported under Ubuntu
by David Chatterton 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Despite having accepted the latest update to Chirp via the Software Updater and verified under Synaptic Package Manager that the version of Chirp-daily installed is 20160116~wily~1, the About menu item reports CHIRP daily-20151023 and has done so for the most recent updates. I have completely removed and re-installed chirp-daily but still get the same old version on the About CHIRP pane. Is there an image file on Ubuntu that I need to remove manually or is the updated version deficient in some way? David

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R won't program
by lofty don 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Sir, I recently purchased two of these radios, but am having trouble programming them using the purchased cable that interfaces with the radio and ends in a USB cable. I have tried with both a Windows 10 and a Windows 7 Home pc. I checked the firmware version and saw that it read: BFB297 I check the devices in Windows 10 and it shows com3 or com4, depending on the USB port and it looks good. I click on new and then click on the radio tab and put in com1 or com2 or com3 or com4 and always get an error (vendor is Baofeng and UV-5R). Thanks for any help you can give. Don in sunny Florida

[chirp_users] Is the ID-880H data protocol documented somewhere?
by John Babrick 18 Jan '16

Hello all - I just got an ID-880H and am getting started with D-STAR. I would like to try writing my own applications for programming and controlling the radio, but I cannot find anything that documents what the programming protocol is for the radio. Can someone tell me where it might be documented? I'd like to do things with the radio that CHIRP and the other programs do not do. Any guidance? Thanks in advance John Babrick, N9CNM, Frederick MD

[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV3D CHIRP support and a question on the memory chip replacement
by Robert Morningstar 16 Jan '16

16 Jan '16

Hi, I am a bit confused about CHIRP support for this radio. It is listed on the home page, but the software does not present this model in the dropdown list when I attempt to download from it and I do not see it in the model_supported.html file on the download page. Can someone clarify this for me? I need to write a new img to my radio I think. I was successful in replacing the nvram chip (I had the infamous Wouxun radio losing it settings and memory issue) by following the process listed at http://tim-yvonne.com/ham/wouxun-memory/index.htm but the radio reverted to some other band than what I purchased it for (this problem also documented at the site listed above) after I completed the memory replacement procedure. I'm stuck, I fixed the memory issue and tested it by manually programming two channels and those settings were retained after removing the battery and reinstalling it. But now I am getting the Channel Freq Out of Range issue for channels that previously worked just fine before the chip transplant. Any thoughts on this issue?

Hi, Just tried the latest build, still not reading all memories, Like to loan my 92AD to get the code fixed but international postage would be a big issue. i found my old bug report from a couple of years ago when I was using the Windows build to transfer the memories from my 91AD to my new 92AD and it did work with both radios the only issue being the wrong code identifying the 92AD in the file. Curious as to what went wrong since then. Wenlock VK3YWB
