[chirp_users] CHIRP @ Wouxun KG-Q10H
by Gary 06 Oct '23

06 Oct '23

Just bought the KG-Q10H, and immediately came here to see if CHIRP was now available for the radio. Looks like it's BETA, and that's fine...will wait till it's gold. I already have a Baofeng UV8 that I use the latest version of CHIRP with, so I'm now wondering if the programming cable I have now for the Baofeng will work. It's one of the recommended cables (when I first got my Baofeng, I came up here to get CHIRP and bought a good recommended cable), and I've physically plugged it into the Wouxun with no problems. Of course, Wouxun wants to sell me their cable, for another $25, but if the one I now have works, I don't want yet another cable plugged into my computer. So what do you think? If it works well with the Baofeng, should it work with the Wouxun. I saw a remark from another BETA tester who said his "cheap Amazon cable was working fine." Cheers -= Gary =-

[chirp_users] UV-5RIII better with older software
by Graham Whaley 06 Oct '23

06 Oct '23

Hi Chirp users, (New list subscriber. First post) I recently had an issue (re)programming my Baofeng UV-5RIII with CHIRP next-20231003, and found a 'workaround' using CHIRP daily 20200226. I thought I'd document here for any possible future reference etc. Backstory: Back in January 2020 I purchased a 'Baofeng UV-5RIII'. I've a feeling that this model had probably just come out at that time, and I didn't realise that getting a (b)leeding edge model might cause problems (yes, I understand the land of 'UV-5R' firmware is a minefield... ;-). At that time I didn't have my license, so I grabbed CHIRP and programmed up the radio. As well as entering some channels I changed the greeting messages and disabled TX. As the 'III' was not listed (afaict) at the time in CHIRP I dug around and found that the Baofeng UV-5X setting worked.... all good. Now: Three years later, I finally find a reason to try and transmit, having forgotten that I disabled TX. I grab a new CHIRP (next-20231003), find that the recommended model is the Radioddity UV-5RX3, and have at it. Turns out I can program up the channels and edit a few of the settings page entries, but I: - cannot re-enable TX on either band listed - change the greeting messages I tried with the vanilla UV-5R and the UV-5X with basically the same result (iirc) - at least, nothing would let me re-enable TX or edit the message text. The workaround: Finally I figured I could try and dig out the original chirp version I'd used. I dug up the old laptop which still had the chirp and the .img files on it. Voila, using chirp 20200226 and Baofeng UV-5X I can edit and upload the TX settings and the messages. Sorted, my radio is now back to functional. side note: although the radio says it is a tri-band 'III', the band button only cycles through two bands and Chirp only shows the two (U/VHF) bands in the settings. I don't know if this is a consequence of me meddling or not - I have no plans to use the 1.2m/220MHz band, so I'm not too bothered. Not sure if that makes any sense to the developers, but hopefully it might help somebody else in the future. For reference, my radio firmware details are: 3B5RV01 (button 3 boot) 151123H HN5RV01 I'm sort of willing to help gather any more diagnostics if necessary, I'm fairly tech savvy. *But*, I'm wary of editing anything more on the radio in case it reverts to non-functional ;-), so hopefully non-invasive data gathering if possible. I'll stay signed up to this list for a bit in case there is some feedback or requests for more info, but if you want to ensure you reach me in the future you might have to send a PM. thanks, Graham, M7GRW

[chirp_users] Caller ID error message
by lhales＠cox.net 26 Sep '23

26 Sep '23

First thank you for the add. I have a question, one probably asked before but searching through each months archive was getting me nowhere. I downloaded Chirp Next in mid Sept 2023 and am trying to use it to make a minor change to my Wouxun KG-UV9PX. When I get to settings and go to the 'freq limit' any change I make immediately opens a dialog telling me "Caller ID must be at least 3 and no more than 6 digits." The change is shown in the settings window and the file seems to save with no problem, but when I reopen the file the changes have not been saved. I am still in the learning curve for the 9PX in particular and Ham radio in general, what is the 'caller ID' error telling me? The "caller IDs" in the 'Settings' window are the default that were downloaded from the radio when I set CHRIP up. Many thanks and my apology for asking a probably very often asked question. Lynn E. Hales lhales(a)cox.net <mailto:lhales@cox.net> (757) 243-1003

[chirp_users] Baofeng BF-C50 & Serial Sniffing
by KC9MHE Eric Muehlstein 21 Sep '23

21 Sep '23

Hi All, I'm working to discover the cloning protocol for the Baofeng BF-C50. I have the OEM programming software installed in a Win11 VM and I can read/write the memory from the radio. Despite trying several tools, I can't find a solution which allows me to sniff both the RX and TX of a serial connection in Win11 for ARM. https://github.com/emuehlstein/baofeng_bfc50 Instead, I've started a couple of Python scripts which emulate one side or the other and I've been slowly teasing data out of the radio and programmer. As is, my fake programmer sends the 4 byte initialization string the radio expects, the radio replies with 12 bytes, the programmer ACKs that and the radio sends a bunch more bytes but not enough bytes to be the full memory. Any recommendations for a serial sniffing tool which will work in a Win11 Parallels VM? Recommendations on how to proceed with the script to discovering the rest of the download routine? Thanks, Eric KC9MHE

Well Sean. If you read my original post, you'd have seen that the line:- pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20230509-py3-none-any.whl Is the line in error at this time... As to suggesting to learn how to build a package from the sources... Why is that not already done by the authors/maintainers? Surely they know what's needed better than anyone... 73. Dave.

[chirp_users] Linux install instructions, not quite 100%...
by Dave B 17 Sep '23

17 Sep '23

Hi. I just installed the current Chirp on this LMDE 5 system, using the instructions as shown on :- https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux There is a "slight wrinkle" in para 2.2. The command line invocation:- *pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20230509-py3-none-any.whl* Fails as the file "chirp-20230509-py-none-any.whl" was not present anywhere. That is also an old version now as well. OK, simple for me to figure out, but for many other windoze refugees probably less so, so perhaps either some additional instruction regarding actually getting the .whl file "First" (finding the link to that was not as easy as it should be I think either) or including a wget somewhere to pull the latest from the server, and make it all work "automagically" ? Otherwise, 20230911 is working OK with the shack Kenwood TM-V71 on a 64 bit LMDE 5 system. Re the use of pipx, and the comment that pipx users will need to uninstall Chirp, before installing a new version. Is there a reason why "pipx upgrade" cant be used? If so, what is the reason? Lastly, where is the Chirp Icon file hidden these days? (So I can put it in my menu system.) Oh, I also find that this version of Chirp, does not remember the custom port name for the radio, in this case /dev/ttyTMV71 as assigned by a udev rule for consistency. The resulting entry in the port dropdown, is also mostly obscured by being shoved over to far to the left in that field. 73. Dave G8KBV. -- Sent from a MicroSoft free zone:

[chirp_users] Corrupted memories
by Gary Halleen 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

I’m using CHIRP next-20230905, but had the same problem with the last release as well. When programming my Yaesu FT-65R, I’m running into a couple issues: 1. If I set even a single memory to NFM instead of FM, then the next time I upload to my radio, all memories after that one are set to NFM. Example: I set memory 36 to NFM. Memories 36-100 all are set to NFM, even though in CHIRP, they look like they should be set to FM. I’ve tried doing a full reset of the radio, and also tried a memory reset of the radio. Next time I upload, they go back to NFM. 2. If I have memories assigned to Banks, and then delete a memory without first unchecking the box for the bank, the memory stays as a phantom memory. To replicate: Add a new memory and assign it to a bank number (Bank 2 is what I used). Then, after it’s been uploaded to the radio, delete the memory in CHIRP, and re-upload to the radio. When the radio is not set on a Bank, the memory does not show up in the radio. Now, switch the radio to Bank 2. The memory and all of its settings are there even though it was deleted. To resolve it, set a new memory to the same memory number, and go into banks, and uncheck Bank 2. Then, save and go back to memories and delete the memory. Re-upload to the radio and the memory is now gone. Thanks for your hard work keeping CHIRP running for all of us! Gary K7TRO

[chirp_users] is chirp_next recommended for production use?
by Greg Troxel 27 Aug '23

27 Aug '23

I know this project doesn't believe in releases, but pkgsrc currently provides a package with a date as the version. Because chirp-next is labeled next, we are still providing the old codebase, which has not seen an update in a long time. Should we consider the latest chirp-next to be the releaes of record and provide it to users, vs the latest chirp-daily? In other words, should a random user who is not paying attention be handed the old chirp-daily (currently 20221217), or yesterday's chirp-next? Which of these is in this not-paying-attention-user's interest, this week? (If it's one now and in the future will be different, that's ok.) 73 de n1dam

[chirp_users] ICOM 7100 programming

I'll try asking again as there was no response before. Can anyone successfully program an ICOM-7100 using Chirp? If so: - how is the computer connected to the radio? - did you have to change any radio option? - or any Chirp option? My radio downloads its programming to the computer perfectly. But, if I try to write back more than one channel, or try to program the same channel twice, Chirp reports programming errors. If it doesn't work, then it should be removed from the list of acceptable radios. -- Michael Nadler KI7QIB

[chirp_users] Tyt 9800 Importing Problems
by K0LNY 20 Aug '23

20 Aug '23

Hi All, I'm still working on my Tytera 9800. I have had trouble working on the CSV file of the 227 memories. My MS Office Excel seems to mess up the fields. For some reason, my LibreOffice Calc crashes when I open the CSV in there. I had a portable version of Libre Office, so I installed the full version, and that kept crashing too. I'm using windows 10. So I ran Dism with the repair switches, and that didn't find anything. So I ran SFC and that fixed a problem and I rebooted. I tried Libre Office again, and it keeps crashing. I fixed up the CSV in Notepad, making sure to not mess with the commas. But I need to get the data into Chirp to upload it to the radio. I installed Open Office, and opened it up in there, but the data does not past into Chirp. I tried to import the CSV file into Chirp, but it does not find it to be a file it can open. The error is: An error has occurred Unknown File Format Should Chirp be able to import a CSV file? I am using Chirp Next from a couple days ago. Thanks for any suggestions.

[chirp_users] Tyt 9800 Buttons
by K0LNY 20 Aug '23

20 Aug '23

Hi All, In the Chirp settings page, I was able to program the four programmable buttons on the microphone, using a screenreader in windows 10 and Chirp Next, but I did not notice if there was anything in Chirp Settings tab for the four vertical buttons to the right of the numberpad on the microphone. Are those programmable buttons, or are they for something else? I cannot read the buttons, and I didn't find any reference in the manual that was readable with a screenreader as what these buttons are. Can anyone tell me if they are programmable or not, and what they do? The vertical buttons do nothing, but sometimes the top one beeps once, and after that, there is nothing from the buttons. Thanks.

Hello: For some time now I have been using Chirp to program my 7250 with mixed results. #1 Can not change from FM to Digital (not in the drop down) #2 Yesterday I wanted to add some TSQL to some repeaters and accomplished that OK but after entering, the power switched to LOW. Had to go to NFM to regain the HI power. setting. Haven't seen this problem in any correspondence from others in the past emails, or am I missing something?. Bob bdmacwill(a)gmail.com

[chirp_users] _valid_tones
by Jim Unroe 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

Dan, I was just brought to my attention that the rb15.py driver has selections for tones in one Hz increments from 56.0 to 64.0 Hz. Doing some looking around I see that there is a "TONES_EXTRA" in chirp_common.py that matches these tones. It appears that the default tones have been changed from TONES to TONES + TONES_EXTRA. I don't know why this change was made, but now every radio I have tested, whether they support it or not, has these 10 additional tones appended to their list of tones. [image: TONES_EXTRA.png] Can this be changed back or do I need to make a plan to address this in the individual drivers for each of the affected radios? Jim

[chirp_users] FTM-3100R
by Andy Zaayenga 09 Aug '23

09 Aug '23

Hi folks, I've got a new-to-me Yaesu FTM-3100R. Picked up a cable from BlueMax49ers to run with CHIRP. I downloaded the radio using the FTM-3200D R template as per the CHIRP home page. Downloading and uploading works fine. I copied and pasted from my Yaesu FT-60R img 63 of the frequencies I monitor that are covered by the FTM-3100R. Uploading those to the radio works fine and downloading shows them all in memory. However, I notice that when I scan all 63 frequencies the radio only scans the first 14. The display just stops on the 14th location while the numbers under MR keep counting up to 63. Then it cycles back to location 1. I have the radios side by side and the FT-60R scans all the locations while the FTM-3100R only the first 14. The specs say the radio has 199 memory locations which is consistent with the CHIRP img * 199 "basic" memory channels, numbered "1" through "199". But the CHIRP image doesn't show the home channel or any of the L or U locations. * A "Home" channel, providing storage and quick recall of one prime frequency. * 10 sets of band-edge memories, also known as "Programmable Memory Scan" channels, labeled "L0/U0" through "L9/U9". Does anyone out there have an FTM-3100R and can let me know if I'm doing something wrong? I'm wondering if there's some issue with the FTM-3200D R template WRT the FTM-3100R. Thanks from a first-time poster! 73 Andy Zaayenga KD2SME Yaesu FT-60R, Yaesu FTM-3100R

Sorry, Dick. That file is my CHIRP file, and I renamed it with a bak extension because most servers do not allow img files due to security protocol. As Danny points out, you can delete the .bak part to make it an img file that can be read into CHIRP. Tonight I installed the CHIRP Legacy edition and went through the same exercise. No difference from the current version. The operative question is – Does anyone on this list use CHIRP successfully for their Yaesu FTM-3100R? Then I would know if it’s something about my configuration or CHIRP itself. Thanks all.

[chirp_users] Legacy support question--Programming Talkpod A36+
by Jim Pruitt 07 Aug '23

I am still using the last legacy version of Chirp. I just acquired a Talkpod A36+ but can't find how to program it manually and hooking it up to Chirp can not talk to the radio but Talkpod is not in the list. I tried Baofeng UV5R but that did not work. Has anyone else programmed the Talkpod A36+ using Chirp? I tried searching for programming instructions to do it manually but all hits were to a youtube video and used Chirp. Thank you. Jim Pruitt

[chirp_users] Programming ICOM IC-7100
by Michael Nadler KI7QIB 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

I cannot get CHIRP to properly program an ICOM 7100. Can someone provide the explicit steps they use to program their ICOM IC-7100? Computer, running Windows 10, is connected to the 7100's Remote port via USB cable. CHIRP works fine programming a Kenwood D710G in live mode. I'm following the same steps: - Download from the radio - use "help me" to find the com port - set Vendor/model to ICOM/IC-7100 - tab opens with a copy of what's programmed in the radio - Import from file... - select the CSV file with several hundred entries - click Import - random channels are programmed; others show red numbers, which is an error indication Can no longer download from radio -- the program reports "permission error". I have to restart CHIRP in order to download from the radio. After the restart and download, if I use cut/paste to update say 20 entries -- entries are programmed randomly -- same result as with import. I've searched the mail archives -- some people report problems, tentative solutions are proposed (without documenting specific steps), but no one posts any resolution. This radio programs perfectly with RT Systems software. But their software uses clone mode, not live mode. -- Michael Nadler KI7QIB

[chirp_users] Interesting item with Baofeng GT-5R, others? Duplex setting
by Ken Hansen 30 Jul '23

30 Jul '23

Hello all, I programmed my GT-5R with CHIRP-Next and all was fine, except when I tried to program a simplex channel in my radio to access my SHARI AllstarLink node. In the memory tab, I set "Duplex" to "off", as the logical choice among "+", "-", "split", and "off". But when I tried to transmit after loading that channel into my radio, it would not transmit (no RF, display color didn't change). So I went in, looked hard at the settings, and discovered there was another option lurking in plain sight - " " (blank). When I selected (blank) and loaded the radio with the modified channel, it worked fine (TX as expected, in simplex). If I look at the (actually pretty good) GT-5R manual that shipped with the radio, it says I have three choices for that field, menu item 25, SFT-D: "OFF [0]" TX = RX (simplex) "+ [1]" TX higher than RX freq "- [2]" TX lower than RX freq There's no mention of "split" or "off". In short, the only valid options appear to be "-", "+", and "off", which I guess could be set to " " (blanks). I just thought I'd share this here, I'll open an issue on the chirp-next website to get this fixed. Ken, N2VIP

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-65 No upload, not a CSV tab issue - Download OK
by Peter.jay12 30 Jul '23

30 Jul '23

I’ve scanned several monthly archives for "FT-65" and separately for “upload”. The only reports I can find is that users are trying to upload a CSV tab (a common problem) and not the tab downloaded from the radio. I’ve added my channels to the FT-65 download tab and still no joy uploading. Im using a Mac OS Ventura 13.5 and an RTsystems (ZRT-USB-55) with current drivers (verified with tech support) working in the Mac. Chirp downloads from the radio without any issue. I see both TX and RX displayed on the radio and CLONE OK but no changes are made to the memory locations. I’ve reset the radio to factory defaults and made only a single change to a memory channel in Chirp to limit any input error without success. Probably something simple but I just don’t see it. Any thoughts?

[chirp_users] Pofung P8UV programming
by eric.fort＠fortconsulting.org 27 Jul '23

27 Jul '23

A friend of mine, not knowing any better acquired 2 pofung P8UV radios, FCC ID: 2AJGM-P51UV. The fact that the FCC's own website ( https://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid ) shows no record of this ID (though interestingly https://fcc.io does?!!!!!, now who owns FCC.io?) leaves me a bit concerned..... But that's another topic. I'm trying to figure out how to program these to at least listen to other things than the channels they came with. The supported radio's list says P8UV _(use Radioddity UV-5G)_ but that does not work. I get "Error communicating with radio, Radio did not respond.". That said, I have verified the correct serial port being used and followed the directions about turning the radio on and off, etc. The radio is on and everything plugged in as far as I can tell properly but I still get the above error after repeated attempts. Chirp works fine programming my ANYTONE UV5888UVIII. Ideas, Thanks, Eric

[chirp_users] Using The Keyboard On Radio List
by K0LNY 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

Hey Group, I'm sure most folks here use Chirp with the computer's mouse or touchpad, but there is an annoying thing with the keyboard, and I'm hoping those who develop Chirp might be able to address this, and I wonder if it is annoying to others. I wouldn't call it a bug, because I'm guessing most users haven't experienced it. But in the radio model list, when I'm down arrowing to find my model, a dialog pops for every model, and reads: Experimental driver Tested and mostly works, but may give you issues when using lesser common radio variants. Proceed at your own risk, and let us know about issues! Do not prompt again for Yaesu FT-25R OK * So this dialog is okay, but in prior Chirps, it only popped up once you selected your model and clicked okay. I'm guessing that most people typically just roll their pointer to the model and then get that message just one time. But when your model is 10 models down the list, it is quite annoying to have to uncheck the box and then okay. Can this dialog be moved to after the okay is clicked on a model, like it was before? What do others think? 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] Question About Chirp and Baofeng
by Michael A Prater 11 Jul '23

11 Jul '23

Hi I am trying to figure out how to configure the Baofeng using Chirp. I see that the preloaded lists have a Tuning Step, but I do not see this column in the image for the Baofeng. I programed a lot of channels, but I still am not sure how to get this to scan all the frequencies, or if I am missing a config, or checking for an accurate config. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Michael

Hi, Don't know what I am doing wrong. Radio: Baofeng UV-5R Platform: Mac OS Ventura 13.4.1, Macbook M1 Chirp: Recently updated Using Microsoft Excel I have downloaded my memory from my radio, exported to csv, cut and copied the frequencies and names to the correct column and save the file. However, when I upload the file to CHIRP, it only shows the previously existing memories, none of the new. I have tried every which way to save the files, uploading them, re-downloading software. Can't seem to figure it out. Any help out all is appreciated.

[chirp_users] CHIRP Tips Videos
by Dan Smith 28 Jun '23

28 Jun '23

Hi all, There is a lot of useful content out on youtube that provides step-by-step instructions for some general workflows with CHIRP. However, there are a lot of other things you can do with CHIRP that never seem to get covered. Lately as I have helped people adjust to some of the things that are different in CHIRP next, I've been thinking that it might be nice to have a set of very short to-the-point videos that cover some of the more obscure features. Things you may or may not know about, or that you feel you don't quite understand enough to use properly, or things that have been added and gone unnoticed. Videos covering how to do something in CHIRP legacy may no longer be accurate or helpful today. Now, I'm not an influencer and I never will be. I'm not a cinematographer, narrator, or artist. Videos I make will never have the pizzaz of HRCC or some of the other people in the business. I'm an engineer and I'm only good at drawing straight lines and right angles. I don't want to make movies, I want to work on CHIRP. But, I can make short low-budget demonstration videos with dry voiceovers and probably help explain things better, so I figured I might give it a go. I've published the first video on custom stock configurations here: https://youtu.be/U3s5cT3IAco It's a little rough and I promise the next one will be better. If these are useful to you, please let me know here and subscribe to the channel so I can gauge interest. I have at least a few other topics that I think are not often well understood that I can cover in future videos, and let me know if you have other ideas. I want to keep these mostly radio-neutral, meaning they should be about how to use CHIRP in general, and not how to program a UV-5R. Josh already has that sort of thing covered. If it seems like making more of these is worth the trouble, I'll do that. Be gentle! :) --Dan

In the old version of chirp after you searched repeaterbook for your specified repeaters and the list came up you could scroll to the bottom of the page and check a box that said de-select all then scroll thru the list and check only the ones you wanted. That feature is no longer present in the CHIRP next version and I can not figure out how to only kee p the ones I want and do away with the rest. Is there something I am missing? I have nearly pulled out all my hair trying to figure this out and, I would really rather use it than Odmaster. Sent from my iPad

I'm trying to upload a CSV file to my radio. ubfortunately the upload to radio option is greyed out. Why? what gives?

Re: [chirp_users] Errors when trying to read from Icom IC-92AD
by Joe Martine 17 Jun '23

17 Jun '23

Today I received a cable for my Kenwood TH-F6A and find it has the same problem as the Icom. These two are the only "live mode" radios I've tried, perhaps my issue is more generally with live mode? The TH-F6A cable is a USB version, branded Maxton Data. When connecting to the radio most memory channels are red, a few actually show up correctly. This time I tried adding some data to an empty memory that was successfully read. Surprisingly, this does *usually* work. A couple of times the frequency would show up in the radio, but when I added an offset or tone the software seemed to indicate it was sent (green highlight then back to white) but the radio never showed the change. On one entry I made another change (change step size or something) and BOTH changes finally showed up on the radio. While Chirp was trying to read the memories the console showed many repeats of "Unexpected result returned from radio" and "Not sure what to do with this:" followed by either a '0' or a line of gibberish. Anyone have thoughts or suggestions to try? Thanks, Joe > > I have recently gotten back to playing with my radios after a few years (too many hobbies!) and was pleased to find Chirp can work with all of them.

Chirp reads data, but with lots of errors. Mac/Linux seem most successful, with just a few memory channels marked in red, Windows fails on almost all. But even the channels that do get read aren't quite right. There may be duplicated channel numbers, one blank the other with a frequency in it. The channel numbers may be out of order. Or some have incorrect data. > > A screenshot of one read attempt (this morning): > http://www.n5usr.net/images/230615_chirp/92ADLive_230615.png > > Note for memories 21-27, that block is actually all FRS frequencies.

Meanwhile, I've made some progress figuring out the layout of the on-disk format that CPS 1.2.4 uses to store configs. I hope to be able to produce a CVS exporter.

[chirp_users] Errors when trying to read from Icom IC-92AD
by Joe Martine 15 Jun '23

15 Jun '23

I have recently gotten back to playing with my radios after a few years (too many hobbies!) and was pleased to find Chirp can work with all of them. At this point I've successfully read and reprogrammed several radios but my IC-92AD is not cooperating. I have the Icom programming cable and have tried reading its memory on Mac, Win and Linux with roughly the same result. Chirp reads data, but with lots of errors. Mac/Linux seem most successful, with just a few memory channels marked in red, Windows fails on almost all. But even the channels that do get read aren't quite right. There may be duplicated channel numbers, one blank the other with a frequency in it. The channel numbers may be out of order. Or some have incorrect data. A screenshot of one read attempt (this morning): http://www.n5usr.net/images/230615_chirp/92ADLive_230615.png Note for memories 21-27, that block is actually all FRS frequencies. The ham repeater entries are valid entries but they are NOT in memory locations 21 / 23 / 25 / 27. I also made a log file for one run (not this morning's, but similar results): http://www.n5usr.net/images/230615_chirp/IC92AD.log Am I doing something wrong? Perhaps a setting in the radio that needs to be changed? I've looked through the options and nothing strikes me as likely but you never know... Chirp version is: CHIRP next-20230608 on all three platforms. Thanks, Joe

[chirp_users] Is it possible to support the Baofeng UV-17 Pro GPS radio (and related models)?
by Terri Kennedy 08 Jun '23

08 Jun '23

[I figured I'd ask here first before opening a feature request in the issue tracker. If the answer is "no way", I'll pursue other programing methods.] There has been a lot of excited talk on the Baofeng Owner's Club Facebook group about the UV-17 Pro GPS. A number of people have received these radios and they're very interesting / nice, with a number of new features. CPS software 1.2.4 is available from: https://www.miklor.com/RadioSoftware/Baofeng%20UV-PROs%20v124.zip and is apparently generic for the UV-17/18/19/20/21/22 Pro. I believe some earlier investigation of other newer Baofeng models resulted in a determination that the memory format was un- like any other Baofeng / clone previously seen. But this does seem to be a [mostly] common format across a whole new series of radios. If needed, I can provide one UV-17 Pro GPS on loan for develop- ment and can contribute another to the lab for ongoing release testing.
