[chirp_users] Kg uv920p-with chirp.
by Mike Leighty 22 Jun '14

22 Jun '14

Is the wouxun mobile kg uv920p going to work with chirp anytime soon? Chirp is awsome software I love it. I could possibly provide the radio if someone would like to get it working with chirp. If I am emailing the wrong person please let me know who I should be asking?

[chirp_users] Icom ID-880H not able to set "my call"
by mobius 22 Jun '14

22 Jun '14

Guys, I can program frequencies fine, but it's not accepting my call under Dstar settings. I enter it, save the file, close and reopen and it's gone. I also imported a config from a friends' 880, changed his call to mine, saved, and uploaded. Still has his call in it. So I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong, or if this is a known issue? I've searched the archives but haven't found anything yet. If anyone has an idea I'm all ears. Thanks, Mobi

[chirp_users] Need help programming my new Baofeng UV-5R using my Mac.
by Mike & Kara 21 Jun '14

21 Jun '14

I am a new Technician class HAM licensee (KM4BED) and just bought a Baofeng UV-5R from Amazon as my first radio. A friend told me about CHIRP to program the local repeaters into the radio. I bought a programming cable from Amazon at the same time. I downloaded the Mac version of CHIRP from the CHIRP website and installed it with the driver it recommended for the Mac. I cannot seem to get the computer and the radio to talk. Can anyone help? I had the same friend help me checkout the cable and the radio using his computer (he has 5 of these radios) to see if the problem was the cable or the radio. He could program my radio using my cable with his Windows based computer and CHIRP. Based on this I am assuming my radio and cable are fine and there is something wrong with my computer configuration. My computer is a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.7.5 (this is the latest version this hardware will support). The version of CHIRP I am running is CHIRP 0.4.0 (GTK 2.24.10, PyGTK 2.22.0, Python 2.7.2). This is what I am doing: I start CHIRP; I plug the cable into a USB port on the computer; Then I plug the cable into the radio; Then I turn on the radio. This is what happens: The LED Indicator comes on RED and stays on for several minutes; Then it starts blinking Off and Red for a few minutes; Then it goes off. At that point I figure it is ready to start talking to the computer. On the computer I select Radio > Download From Radio; I select Port = /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem; Vendor = Baofeng; Model = UV-5R; I press the OK button; Instantly I get "An error has occurred could not open port /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem: [Errno 16] Resource busy: '/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem'"; I press the OK button. Then I try the other port: On the computer I select Radio > Download From Radio; I select Port = /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync; Vendor = Baofeng; Model = UV-5R; I press the OK button; I get a box that says Cloning for a few seconds; Then I get "An error has occurred Radio did not respond"; I press the OK button. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Mike KM4BED

[chirp_users] Chirp on BeagleBone Black
by Michael Dodds 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

My new Rev C BeagleBone Black arrived today and I decided to see if it would run Chirp successfully. Short answer: yes it does :) The Rev C version comes with 4 GB of onboard flash and comes preinstalled with Debian 7.4 with an LXDE desktop. The older versions came with Angstrom Linux and only had 2 GB onboard storage. You could use one of those by loading Debian or Ubuntu on a 4GB or larger micro SD card and booting from there. The default user is debian and will sudo with no password, so it's not the most secure setup, but that is easily changed if you like. Here is how I did it: Open up LXterm from the Accessories menu and type: sudo usermod -a -G dialout debian This adds the debian user to the dialout group so you have access to the USB ports. Then I cheated a bit: While in LXterm I did this: sudo apt-get install chirp. This installs a truly ancient version of Chirp, but takes care of all the dependencies for you. When it completes, type: apt-get remove chirp. That removes the old version of chirp but leaves the dependencies. Then download the latest version of Chirp (the tar.gz Linux source version) From LXterm, type: cd /home/debian/Downloads and hit enter. Then type: tar -zxvf chirp* (no sudo needed here) This will extract the tar.gz file into a directory under Downloads, chirp-0.4.0 in my case. Then from the file manager in the GUI, navigate to that directory and double click on chirpw and click on execute in the dialog that pops up. I'm not sure if there is a practical use for running it in the BeagleBone, but it works every bit as well as my "real" Linux box does and reads/writes just fine to all my radios, it's fun, and Linux has no issues with the counterfeit Prolific USB programming cables. I'm sure you could get fancy and actually install it, but it works just fine without it. 73, Mike -- *Michael Dodds* *1390 Excalibur Dr.* *Macon, GA 31220* *478-314-4119* *mike(a)doddstech.com* “*Never worry about theory * *as long as the machinery does* *what it's supposed to do.” - Robert Heinlein*

[chirp_users] Chirp and UV-82
by Steve McKaskey 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

I am new to amateur radio and have a new Beofeng UV-82. I have gone through all the usual cable problems and managed to make communication with the radio. My problem is that when I make changes to Chirp it will not save them either to the radio or to file. I reverts to some default setting changing all new entries except the freq. I am editing the entries by selecting the line then right clicking to enter the edit mode This is very aggravating! Help!

[chirp_users] CHIRP cannot see serial interface on Apple 10.9.3 Maverics even though the Mac does see it
by Ashley Grayson 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

Can anyone offer any advice? I'm trying to use CHIRP to program a TYT UV-F! with a MacBook Air running Mavericks. I did use a Windows machine (once) to program the UV-F! so I know the Prolific cable works with the radio and one model of PC. CHIRP 0.4.0 only shows four cu.drivers in the "Download from Radio" menu and none of them are reasonable; two are bluetooth and two wireless. The CHIRP menu does offer TYT and UV-F1 as choices so that looks good. Mavericks directory /dev listing shows the four cu.driver files and lots of other file names but nothing like "ftdi" or "serial" even after disabling the Apple ftdi.kext and installing the recommended FTDI serial driver with no errors. The Apple system info shows the cable present: USB-Serial Controller: Product ID: 0x2303 Vendor ID: 0x067b (Prolific Technology, Inc.) Version: 3.00 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc. Location ID: 0x04100000 / 3 Current Available (mA): 500 This could be as simple as me not knowing to hold down some button on the radio when starting the CHIRP program or missing some file in some directory. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'd like to use CHIRP to manage several radios but I can't even make one work at this point. Ashley Grayson

[chirp_users] Odd splits....
by Forrest 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

I asked a while back, but got no response. Since there has been a bit of a conversation about transmitting, I thought I would ask again…. Using CHIRP (latest stable or daily) I find that I can specify odd splits (not just +/- .6), but the software doesn’t seem to save them correctly. Anyone notice this besides me? If I set it up in CHIRP, it will hold long enough to program the radio, but it reverts to some odd mixture of either + or - in that column if I try to save and reload the spreadsheet. I have to reset the correct transmit freq every time I use it. I’m famous for oddball issues, so if this affects no one else, I’ll just live with it, but I would call it a bug worth noting to the software developer(s). BTW, I’m using the Mac version, but I don’t think it matters. Seems like I had the same issue when I tried a Win version. TIA, Forrest

[chirp_users] Disable Transmission on UV-82
by Rohm Thompson 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Totally green, new user here trying to set up a Baofeng UV-82 to receive only on one UHF channel. I've had no problem using CHIRP to set up the radio and use it normally but cannot figure out how to disable the transmit function. I have unchecked the VHF and UHF Tx Enabled check boxes but that didn't stop transmission. Any hints would be much appreciated. Rohm Thompson

[chirp_users] Should I Get a New Build for Any Reason?
by Pat Anderson 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

I have a way old build (Feb 2012) that I use mostly for my Baofeng UV5R and a little bit for a Wouxon...it seems to work fine for what I need to do with it, but has anything significant been added for the UV5R or in general that is a reason to update? What I am afraid of is that I have it working fine now, and somehow every time I try to update just about anything, something gets messed up and it no longer works at all! I have never updated CHIRP, so I don't know what issues if any I might encounter. Thanks! Pat Anderson KD7OAC

[chirp_users] "Most unusual" "Radio did not ack programming mode"
by Richard Haney 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

In uploading and downloading radio images I got a few of the following error messages: An error has occurred Radio did not ack programming mode I supposedly solved those problems and now it seems the the problem may be permanent. Or is it? I found the comments about such error messages, including that the error is a "very common problem". Well, I then took heed and special care to apply pressure to the plug when I undertook these operations. I then achieved both an upload to the computer and a subsequent download to the radio with a new programming of memory channels. But a few times I also occasionally forgot to turn off the radio before unplugging (and possibly plugging in) the plug for the radio. So I suspect that some very delicate parts may have been damaged. I hope not. But if so, I hope it's damage to some electronics in the cable assembly and not in the radio itself. (The cable is cheaper to replace and may even be easier to repair.) But I am also dismayed that the system seems to be so temperamental. I would think that basic engineering design principles would be employed to guard against very common errors. Anyway, I was able both to upload the radio's image to the computer and to download a revised channel-memory to the radio, a Baofeng UV-B5. Then I noticed that I could not change the SHIFT direction in channel mode. (I got the impression from something I read in a miklor.com web page that I should be able to modify the SHIFT direction in channel mode.) I suspected that the failure of the radio to perform such a SHIFT update was a sign of corrupted memory in the radio. So I downloaded the factory-settings image "UV-B5(factory).img" to the radio as recommended to resolve memory corruption problems. I think I also either unplugged or plugged in the cable to the radio while the radio was still on. Anyway, ever since then I have not been able to either upload an image from the radio or download an image to the radio. But I did use the CHIRP display of channel assignments to manually program the radio's channels, and the radio does not seem to have any problems that I've noticed other than the inability to upload and download radio images. As for the supposed corruption of the radio's memory, I see in menu item 21 that the manual says the radio should be in "VFO mode" (i.e., "frequency" mode) in order to change the SHIFT direction. So it appears that the only way to manually change a channel's SHIFT direction is to reprogram the channel from scratch (essentially in frequency mode) and then load the combined collection of preset parameters into a channel. Anyway, please, please, somebody, tell me all is not lost and that there is an easy fix for this problem. Incidentally, I would like to know what is the exact nature of the more usual problem that causes the "Radio did not ack programming mode" error. Is it a failure of physical contact of conductors in the connection? Or is there some some sort of electronic memory effect, such as wayward capacitance associated with the connection. Or is there erratic resistance of some sort in that circuit. An answer to that question may perhaps help with resolving what seems to have become the more persistent version of that problem that I have now run into. I did inspect the connection area and noticed a very slight raised bit of radio-case material where the recommended cutaway of the plug would avoid a protruding "rub" with the radio body near the connector, but the effect seemed to be extremely minor. So I suspect there is some other problem related to the connector perhaps via "unusual" erratic effect on sensitive semiconductors connected to the sockets. As for my (I now think erroneous) impression that it is possible (by intent of design at least) to modify the SHIFT direction in channel mode, see this page <http://www.miklor.com/UVB5/UVB5-ProgMem.php> and note that "Enter 'SHIFT' " immediately follows "- Press [VM/SCAN] to enter channel mode." By the way the computer I'm using is a Dell XPS L502X running Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1.

[chirp_users] Baofang/wouxon in Chirp LIVE and MAC issue
by Richard Paczkowski 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Good early morning to everyone! I have with a Wouxon and a Baofang uv-5r that I can successfully program with chirp in my Mac after downloading the generic cable drivers. The wouxon worked just fine with the live Cd (which I made a bootable USB out of with the instructions from the site). However when I go to clone my Baofang it reads the radio restarts the radio then the chirp live just goes blank like I never attempted to clone it at all. I have tried two cables bought more than a year apart from different vendors and I can get the Baofang to clone just fun in the Mac version. Any ideas on how to fix the issue with the live USB? I love this idea as I just have a bootable USB thumb drive zip tied to the cable and can be programmed on the fly from anywhere... Thanks in advance, Richard Sent from my iPhone

[chirp_users] Chirp vs. Win8.1
by Benton 30 May '14

30 May '14

I was trying to help a friend work through some problems with Chirp on Win8.1 the other night. (We were actually swapping info back and forth at the bottom of a shared g-doc we were using for logging net check-ins, so not the best medium to convey meanings.) She indicated she'd used Chirp in the past but that it was broken after the switch. My first thought was that the 2.3.0.0 (counterfit-tolerant) driver wouldn't work under 8.1 but a found a short thread in the Chirp archives that suggested it does work and that shouldn't be an issue. Also, she said the Baofeng SW that came with the radio/cable does work, so presumably that installed a driver that works with the cheap cables. I asked her if she'd trying running Chrip *after* getting the Baofeng utility working, but that's where we ran out of time. I'll pursue it further with her, but thought I'd ask here in the interim for any gotcha's that might crop up with Chirp and Win8.1. Benton 29may14 -- KF7QLP benton(a)siletzbay.com

[chirp_users] UV-82 question....
by Forrest 27 May '14

27 May '14

Hi….new to the list, with a question. Using CHIRP 0.4.0 with a UV-82 that I recently purchased. In the .img file there are two tabs on the left, Memories and Settings. I found a wiki that pretty well describes the various columns along with how to set things up in Memories. However, there are quite a few things under ‘Settings’ and I have not found a wiki or other reference to those. Does one exist? I realize that many of these settings are not things that would be in need of change, but others I’d like to know more about. A simple example would be under ‘Advanced Settings’ is ‘Scan Resume’ with the options of CO, TO and SE??? There are other things as well, but that’s an example. Commercial radios I’ve used before have scan resume setting in number of seconds. BTW, I have no intention of screwing up the radio by randomly changing things which aren’t well defined or explained. That’s why I’m asking here! :) Thanks, Forrest

[chirp_users] Cable
by Richard Mogford 22 May '14

22 May '14

I am new to this list and probably am making mistakes that are already well known! I bought a cheap cable running the 2303 chip, which I found later is not so good. The drivers on the supplied CD seem to work OK, but when I go to use CHIRP, I get an "Error Occurred" message saying "could not open port COM3: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified." Is there anything I can try here, or should I just shop for a better cable? Richard

When entering my one and only repeater frequency, offset, TX, RX, etc., the language changed from English to Chinese. How do I change it back to English? Can't seem to find the commands in the booklet. Radio receives and transmits fine.

Re: [chirp_users] Summer Project : transcoding CHIRP
by Al Szymanski 21 May '14

21 May '14

Thanks for the feedback. My thoughts are that by putting the entire application in Java, then there would be no platform dependencies at all. ( wishful thinking ) . I will be working "in the dark" so to speak as where I am spending my summer will have no real internet, just occasional email. Thus I will be bashing code without exterior support. Again, thanks for the feedback. al

[chirp_users] Summer Project : transcoding CHIRP
by Al Szymanski 20 May '14

20 May '14

I believe that I have downloaded the most current code sources. If I may, one question: which of the many files is the main entry point? Is it chirp_common.py ? Looks about right, but I don't want to miss anything. I will be working to convert CHIRP to Java first, and if successful, another type of port. Thanks Al

I am presently using Win7hp, Chirp and FTDI cable and everything works great. However, I am learning to use Linux 16 / Mint with the Cinnamon Desktop. I have downloaded the FTDI Linux 0.4.16 driver and some instructions I don't understand. The problem is, I have not a clue of where to go from there. Is there anyone out there that can help me get this driver installed and etc.?

[chirp_users] New user; CHIRP does not start on my MBP

Hello, I just discovered Chirp yesterday and I downloaded it to check it out. I read the entire FAQ at http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/FAQ, but there is nothing there about the application not starting up. I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro 17 with 16GB RAM, running Mac OS X 10.9 with all software up-to-date. After downloading the ZIP, I dragged Chirp over to the Applications folder. I then opened Chirp and went down into .../Applications/chirp-4.0.0/Contents/MacOS and ran "chirp" from there in a Terminal window. This is what I got: $ ./chirp ./chirp: line 15: /opt/kk7ds/bin/python2.7: No such file or directory ./chirp: line 15: exec: /opt/kk7ds/bin/python2.7: cannot execute: No such file or directory But, I do have python: $ python -V Python 2.7.5 $ which python /usr/bin/python T he Chirp shell script is setting PYTHON PYTHON=/opt/kk7ds//Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python If I search my disk from /Library, this is what I find: rary root# cd / jerald-mbp-wlan:/ root# find /Library -name Python -print /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/PrivateFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/Python /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python /Library/Python It's interesting to see that I have a framework for Python 3.3 and yet the binary in my path is v2.7.5 Not sure what I should do next.

[chirp_users] Max OSX Woes
by Joseph R. Erlewein 19 May '14

19 May '14

Hi there, name's Joe. Call N8CN I've got a Macbook Air running Mavericks, a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion, and a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. On all three units, the last version I tried (a while ago) was v0.3.1. It was terribly slow, and I had issues with tasks like.. resizing the window. I basically shelved it, and ended up using RT systems software inside a VirtualBox Windows 7 instance, which proved faster. By like, a lot. I recently tried Chirp again (to read a chirp file for import to a website that lists area repeaters that I maintain) and was notified that 0.4.0 was available. I downloaded and installed it. I've tried it an all three platforms mentioned above. 1st issue: still very slow once you have a file with any data in it. 2nd issue: tasks like changing the size of the window are .. glitchy. 3rd issue: it crashes (repeatably) when I attempt to open a file. Not the opening-a-file part, the "browsing to where the file is located" part, usually before finding the file to even bother trying to open it. I guess my query is this: If this is multi-platform software, are there test users / power-users using this under OSX with any success? If so, I'm wondering why my experiences have been so poor, as I know that with what I've already encountered, I wouldn't be able to use this software on OSX with any long-term success.. Or.. maybe I am missing a step? I've downloaded the zip, extracted the app, placed it where it needs to be, and run the application. There are no other "notes" on the site about other necessary tweaks -- but if there are other OSX users out there that did something different to achieve results that yield a workable platform -- is there something on the wiki that shows what you did and where you did it? I've opened Chirp under my Virtualbox Windows7 instance, and it appears to be MUCH more stable and reliable. No noticeable "speed increase" over operations on the OSX version, but the glitchiness and crashiness seem to not exist. Just offering what I've experienced in the last few months. I'm not out to "flame" the software -- I think it's a great idea, and the effort is extremely remarkable!! -- and I'm not out to just "complain" -- and perhaps it's just lack of effort to dig deeper and/or understanding on my part -- I'm just communicating what I've run into (as an OSX user, and Windows-land escapee) in the past 4 to 6 months attempting to make use of Chirp on OSX Windows, no problem. seems to work fine. Honestly, out of lack of time, I haven't played with the linux versions despite having a lot of test platforms I could use. In fact, now that I've written this, I think ima go try it. :) Anyone try it on a RPi yet? (i assume yes…) Best 73 and -- hey I really like the idea of this software :)

I have two problems. When I do "Download from Radio" I see the clone bars work and see the light on the radio, but nothing is loaded in the sheet. When I look at the "Upload to Radio" it is grey out, so I am unable to create a sheet and load the radio. What am I missing? The radio is a UV-5R. I have loaded the drivers from MTC where I purchased the radios (18). Thanks for all the help. N5PLW Clif — Sent from Mailbox

[chirp_users] Programing a Baofeng UV-82 with Chirp on osx 10.9.2
by Christian Schwarz 16 May '14

16 May '14

Hi everybody, I’d like to know, if anybody managed to program the UV-82 using chirp (or the daily build 20140428) on osx 10.9.2. I read that one might or might not have to disable apple’s own driver for FTDI chipset. I’ve been googleing the topic for a few days now and have not found a way to make it work on my mbp. The system report will tell me that a USB-Serial Controller is there: USB-Serial Controller: Product ID: 0x2303 Vendor ID: 0x067b (Prolific Technology, Inc.) Version: 3.00 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc. Location ID: 0xfa130000 / 6 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): 100 When I try to "download from radio” I have four choices in a dropdown menu, each of which will give me an error message: - /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port error: An error has occurred - Radio did not respond - /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem error: An error has occurred - could not open port /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem: [Errno 16] Resource busy: '/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem' - /dev/cu.NoZAP-PL2303-000013FA error: Radio did not respond - /dev/cu.usbserial error: Radio did not respond Any ideas? I am using the USB programming cable from Baofeng, that came with the radio. btw. under windows7 (installed on the mbp) it works like a charm. Cheers, Chris

Re: [chirp_users] how does one reply
by N4AOF 16 May '14

16 May '14

HOW you reply to a mailing list message depends slightly on what kind of email system you are using. With the vast majority of email client software and most webmail systems, all you need to do is click on the REPLY button. Most email systems will automatically insert the correct mail list reply address, which is chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com -- if your email system doesn't insert the correct address, then most likely it will use the individual email address of the person who sent the message you are replying to. You can easily check to see what address your email system put on the reply message. If it put chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com as the TO address, you are fine. If it put some other address, you have a choice of how to fix the problem: 1) You can delete the incorrect address then manually type or copy&paste the correct address chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com into the TO address block or 2) You could try using REPLY ALL instead of just REPLY. In this case the email system _should_ insert both the mail list address _and_ the individual address; then you just delete the individual address (If REPLY ALL doesn't work, you are back with just Option 1) The other thing that most email systems will do when you click REPLY (or REPLY ALL) is to automatically quote the entire message you are replying to. It is always polite to trim any unnecessary text from the quoted text in your reply. This is especially important is you are subscribed to the mail list in Digest mode -- NEVER quote an entire digest message in your reply! If you are subscribed to receive individual messages, you should still delete the extraneous header and footer lines that are automatically added by the mail list and the email system; you should usually also delete any lengthy portions of the original message that are not related to your reply. For example, in this reply, I deleted header information such as the date of your message and the repeated copy of the subject line, I deleted the footer lines that tell the reader which mail list this message was posted to (the mail list is going to add those footer lines back in, and there is no need to have them twice); and I trimmed your introduction and signature, leaving only the questions you asked, because this is what I was replying to. Your original message was short enough that I didn't really need to trim those three lines, but I did that as part of the example of trimming the original text to just the significant part for a reply. Whether or not you will see your own message back from the list depends entirely on your email system -- the list is definitely going to send you a copy of your own message -- the vast majority of email client software and most webmail systems will include that message in your inbox. The one significant exception to this behavior is GMAIL (which apparently is what you are using). Gmail automatically filters out all messages which it sees as being FROM your own gmail address; therefore it will normally not let you see your own message coming back from the mail list. -----Original Message----- Date: Thu, 15 May 2014 20:54:58 +0200 From: Christian Schwarz <coffeeisallineed(a)gmail.com> how does one reply to a email that was sent by the mailing-list?

Re: [chirp_users] image number and firmware numbers do not match
by Dennis Klipa 15 May '14

15 May '14

Jim, Thanks for the clarification and the procedure. I am sure you are right that most of the time people don't need to change that setting. In my case,many of the radios I have programmed were for our local high school amateur radio club and they are being used by students. We didn't want to give them the option to accidentally be transmitting out of band. So being able to set the band limits is an important feature. I am in even happier camper after reading your response. Best Regards, Dennis, N8ERF

[chirp_users] Programming an Icom IC-91A, CHIRP 0.4.0
by Horace Posadas 14 May '14

Hello everyone, I am still having issues programming my IC-91A with Chirp 0.4.0. I’ve also tried chirp-daily-20140428 with no success. On a whim, I found an old version of Chirp: chirp-0.2.2 and it worked! I was able to download my frequency list, and modify the IC-91A memory. The oldest daily version I can find is chirp-daily-20131002, which still does not work with my radio. 73 de KI6EEX

[chirp_users] image number and firmware numbers do not match
by Dennis Klipa 14 May '14

14 May '14

I submitted a post the other day looking for some help but it didn’t get posted so I am trying again. I think I sent it from the wrong email address! I had a problem trying to updoad a file to a new UV-5RE+ that a friend just bought. I had previously used this file to program 14 other units of the same radio. Another complication is that I had done it on an XP computer buy am now using a Windows 7 machine. I got an error message that the “Settings” had not been transferred because the image number didn’t match the firmware number. I looked in the file and found where those numbers were listed but could not change them. I did eventually figure out that if I downloaded the data from the new radio to a new file, the firmware number came with it. Then I could populate the rest of the new file with data and it uploaded with no problem. Now, if this item gets posted, I will be a happy camper. Best Regards, Dennis

Hello and thank you to all who have given their experience here. The issue I am having is that on my CHIRP I have the OFFSET at .600, and the DUPLEX either a + or -. However when I upload this to my radio it does not take the settings. My radio reads OFFSET 00.000 and DUPLEX "none". I just finished uninstalling, and reinstalling, CHIRP. When I did my initial upload from the radio the settings in CHIRP show the correct OFFSET and DUPLEX in the radio. I tried to find this already reported, but did not. Adam T.

I'd appreciate suggestions from Baofeng users about mag-mount dual-band 2m / 70cm antennas that are working well. Of course a perfect antenna will be a great find, but if I have to prioritize, these will do: * One choice >$60, one choice $60-$120 * Zero or minimal scratching * Perfect retention at air speeds <80 mph * 2m probably slightly higher priority * Receiving probably slightly higher priority for now * At least good transmitting My unit is a UV-5RE Plus.

[chirp_users] Icom V82
by John KB2SCS 04 May '14

04 May '14

Hi All I am using Chirp on Puppy Linux Slacko (Slackware) I am using the source code of Chirp. In Slacko I have the full Python development system. The only other thing I had to install to get Chirp to work was Python Serial. I started up Chirp by typing into the terminal window chirpw. I was able to down load the image of my IcomV82 into Chirp. I noticed on the Repeater2 column that the callsign was W2DNY C. Is this normal? Shouldn't the C be a G? I clicked on the WD2NY C in the Repeater2 column and a drop down list opened which only contained WD2NY C and the other repeater callsigns that I have programed into my radio. All the callsigns had a C at the end none with a G at the end. These Callsigns are in my Repeater1 column which a C makes sense. Again shouldn't the Repeater2 callsings have a G for gateway. The memories in the radio for Repeater2 all have a G in them. It looks like Chirp did not read the repeater2 memories of the radio correctly. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

[chirp_users] Need info on Motorola XTN XU2600 radio
by Kevin Zembower 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hello, I just joined this group, after downloading and using CHIRP. Thank you all for a very helpful application. The principal at my son's school asked for my help. They have a number of Motorola XTN XU2600 radios, that they'd like to gradually replace with Baofeng BF-888S ones. I'm trying to use CHIRP to program the Baofeng radios so that they interoperate with the Motorola ones, using the same channel numbers. I was able to run CHIRP and successfully downloaded the settings from the Baofeng. However, I don't have a programming cable for the Motorola, and the Baofeng one doesn't fit. I changed the frequencies in the Baofeng to match the UHF frequencies I found in the Motorola user's manual, but the radios don't communicate. I left all the other columns unchanged. Subsequently, I changed the 'TONE Mode' to 'None' for all the channels. I then noticed that the Baofeng could receive on channel 1 when I transmitted on the Motorola on channel one, but the Motorola couldn't receive from the Baofeng. I believe that I need all the information for all the columns to get the Baofeng working with the Motorola. Can anyone point me to a CHIRP .img file or a .cvs file for the Motorola XTN XU2600? I'd be happy to send my factory-default Baofeng BF-888S .img file to anyone, or to a repository, for future reference. Is the Motorola set up to use any of the stock configs? This is what I have programmed in the Baofeng for channel 1: Freq: 464.500000 Tone mode: none Tone: 88.5 ToneSql: 69.3 DTCS Code: 023 DTCS Rx Code: 023 DTCS Pol: NN Cross Mode: Tone->Tone Duplex: none Offset: 0.0 Mode: FM Power: High Skip: S Thank you for any advice or guidance you can give me. Thank, again, for such a useful program. -Kevin

[chirp_users] Additional data source
by Mark Lewis GW7KDU 02 May '14

02 May '14

To CHIRP developers I would like to propose a new data source to add to Chirp. The UK has large number of analogue and digital amateur repeaters. These are managed (for licensing purposes) by an RSGB committee, the ETCC (of which I am the secretary). We maintain a website of all UK repeaters on http://www.ukrepeater.net/ and are interested in providing an additional data source similar to repeaterbook. If you are interested we need a contact to discuss data formats etc. 73 Mark GW7KDU gw7kdu(a)rmcwales.org.uk

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20140428 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #272 [Dan Drogichen <chirp.cordless(a)xoxy.net>] [FT-60] The implementation of memory skip is incorrect. - Fixes #1557 - Change flags[500] to skipflags[250]. The memory offset is unchanged. The name change is in anticipation of bankflags[] being added, and to avoid confusion with an unrelated variable in the file named flags. - Index skipflags[] with [memory - 1] rather than [memory]. - Reverse the order of both the elements of skipflags[] and the non-zero elements of SKIPS[]. [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] [BF-888] Fix BCL and Scramble editing BCL and Scramble was always enabled on edited memories because setting.values is of <type 'instance'> so not setting.values as well as not(bool(setting.values)) always return false, coerce to int instead pickup the value of the instance so not(int(setting.values)) do the job Fix #1549

[chirp_users] Programming separate receive and transmit PL
by Rob 27 Apr '14

27 Apr '14

Hi, I just picked up a Baofeng GT-3 and downloaded Chirp to use with it. I have a programming question on how to program separate receive and transmit PLs. How would I program something with say a receive frequency of 150.0000 and a PL of 77.0 and a transmit frequency of say155.0000 and a PL of 118.8. Here are the settings I'm using: Under frequency I placed the receive frequency of 150.0000. Tone mode is set to tone. Tone and tone SQL is the 77.0 receive PL. DTCS code and Rx code is 023. Cross mode is tone > tone. Duplex is split. Offset is the transmit frequency of 155.0000. Mode is FM. Power is high. How do I set that transmit PL of 118.8? Thanks in advance. R...

[chirp_users] Chirp 0.4.0 and IC-91A on OS X
by Horace Posadas 26 Apr '14

26 Apr '14

Hello, I’ve tried searching the archives, but have not been able to find any answers. Here’s what I have: Radio: Icom IC-91A Cable: OPC1529R (made by Icom) FTDI USB to Serial made by Tripplite When I try to download the frequencies from the radio, everything comes up as “ERROR”. I was able to use the same FTDI cable to download and program my Yaesu FT-60R. So I know that the USB-to-Serial cable works. I’m running CHIRP 0.4.0 on a Macbook Pro on Mac OS X 10.9.2. Did I miss something? Thanks and 73, KI6EEX

[chirp_users] WHOA! Stop the bus!
by Milton 26 Apr '14

26 Apr '14

I just spent an interesting 4 hours. This morning my windows machine would not wake up from sleep. Every night when I'm done with it I hit the crescent moon on the Logitech keyboard and some things take place and after 30 seconds it's bed time. Light out except the power LED blinks on and off, Well this AM after a 7 hour sleep it was time to start up. As usual it took a push on the space bar and within 10 seconds I was ready to rock and roll. Well that didn't happen this morning. Space, zero. Shake the mouse, zero. Power light blink blink blink as usual while sleeping so I reached around to the back and flipped the power supply switch off. Ok no more blinking. So I press the on button and GASP! He's dead Jim. Zilch, zero nothing. I pull the side cover off and the motherboard voltage LED is lit. I remove the CMOS battery short the leads out and replace the battery, Still dead. Ok so I probably have a toasted voltage distro on the motherboard. Also, all my USB sockets are missing 5 volts. Before when I shut the power off, not just sleep, the USB ports kept up juice to charge stuff. So mobo 5 volt led is it, no 5 volts getting out the USB = x-eyed mobo. This isa 4 year old Asus top of the line then for the AMD Phenom II quad core processor running 3/6 GHZ per core with Corsair DDR3 memory nd a high performance EVGA GeoForce video. All rock solid stuff powered by a 650 watt PSU. And to make a long story even longer, This PC had most of my recent programming data on it. So my only recourse is to break out the Macbook that has had a cooling fan problem nd been store for a couple months. However when I fired the Mac up she came to life and was going to make sure All three prolific cables still worked. Fist up, Baofeng. TX don and RX up no problem. Next was the Prolific with a mini DIN 6 grafted i=on the end that worked fabulously in Win 7. Plugged in the Mac, see the port, set the FT8900 in TX clone and downloads fine. After that to get it to uplood what it downloaded you simply do your thing in Chirp to upload and while still in CLONE in the FT8900 just hit the LOW button. Done this many time using Windows 7. However this time in Chirp the just released Mavericks 10.9.1 update the upload puked after 5 seconds leaving me a bricked FT8900. When I powered off the FT8900 the entire LED segments lit up. Both sides showed vfo mode and the TX indicators were fully deflected even though nothing was transmitting. Lucky for me a reset all fixed me up. So, I break out the Dell 910 netbook, install the 3.2.0.0 cable driver and Chirp 4. Transferred the .img file I luckily (smartly actually) downloaded from the FT8900 back to the FT8900. I could not do that in Mavericks 10.9.2, all I got when writing was a cable error, couldn't right block this or that, Bad Cable ? Well BS bad cable it worked fine in Windows 7 with 3.2.2.0. Anyway I'm pissed off. And I deserve it. It hasn't been a good day for me but I got the FT8900 back the way it was.

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-6 -- Radio refused clone
by Aubrey Turner 20 Apr '14

20 Apr '14

I have a brand new UV-6 that I just received that won't allow me to perform a download. It gives a "Radio refused clone" error. I have a known working cable. It's a Prolific "clone" but I know it works as I have used it on this computer and several others to program several different UV-5R's. I am using Ubuntu 13.10 with the latest daily build (20140413). The cable shows up on /dev/ttyUSB0 and my ID is a member of the dialout group (as I mentioned, I've used this combination of computer and cable with the UV-5R). What happens is that it appears to be communicating initially to get the ident, but it gets a zero back for the 'ack' afterwards instead of the expected value of "\x06". At least that's what I'm gathering from reading the code. I've got years of experience as a developer, but only know enough Python to follow the broad outline of what is taking place (perhaps this will be my excuse to finally learn Python). I was able, though, to add a line of code to dump the ack value, which is how I found that it's zero. I just wanted to check to see if anyone had seen this or knew of something I might be missing before I troubled the developers by opening a ticket. Here is the output I'm getting (from stdout, as it doesn't seem to be creating a debug.log anywhere): (includes my extra line of output) turnera@runabout:~/Downloads/CHIRP/chirp-daily-20140413$ ./chirpw CHIRP daily-20140413 on Linux - Ubuntu 13.10 (Python 2.7.5+) (process:29928): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.

[chirp_users] IC92AD issues
by Dwayne 20 Apr '14

20 Apr '14

I have a ic-92ad submersible with the waterproof mic/data connector on top of the radio. To program the radio I have the opc-1797 cable connected to the radio and then a USB cable (opc-478) with a 3.5mm plug that I purchased from KJ6ZWL that uses a FTDI chip. The cable drivers installed correctly. I'm using the latest version of chirp. But I just can't get the radio to talk to the chirp software. When I tell chirp to "download from radio" it comes up with 0.0000 under frequency and error under name for every location in the radio. If I type in a frequency and name for a location in chirp it doesn't update the radio. I tried to find a way to search the mailing list archives but couldn't find one. I have manually gone through all of the emails from the chirp list dealing with the IC92AD. Nothing in the emails seem to help me getting chirp and my IC92AD talking. What am I doing wrong? Dwayne

Can anyone point me to public (or share their personal) documentation on the serial protocol and commands supported by the Baofeng UV-5r? I'm interested in seeing if real time (or near real time) software control of a UV-5r is practical. Basically, I'd like to setup a Raspberry Pi, some additional hardware [custom shield] and an Ethernet connection [w/ PoE?] that could plug-n-play with a UV-5r that to provide a remote [tower top?] back end to a soft [chirp based?] front end on my Linux desktop or android smart phone. -- Tom Sayles KE4HET Fall City, Wa, USA

[chirp_users] MacBook Air will not talk to UV-5RPlus

I have a MacBook Air running OS 10.9.2. I just installed CHIRP 0.4.0 and Python runtime and tried to program my UV-5RPlus. I get an error message saying that the radio did not respond. I checked the cable (Prolific chip) and found that the computer recognized it. I should note that I have used this same cable to program the same radio on a Windows 7 desktop PC, so I know the cable connects properly to the radio. Everything works, except I can't download data from my radio. Any thoughts or solutions? Bob DeFranco

First post.... Bought the baofeng uv5r, and cable, from amazon. I've tried all the drivers I can find but don't see the MacBook recognizing the USB cable. Any ideas? Thanks. Sent from my iPad

[chirp_users] Message Archive, Dan Smith

I see my test message arrived at the message archive but I'm not getting a copy. Is this actually being sent to others on the list or is the list server holding them for some reason? I'm not a new user I'm Milton formerly from Yahoo. So I really need to know if these two messages are propagating outwards to others. And where does the list server get my name from? Can that be changed back to Milton Milton

Yahoo has been having issues with their POP servers and I guess a lot of list messages have been bouncing because I had to re-enable my account So if this keeps up, I thought it was fixed because I was getting email fine yesterday I will have to choose gmail to receive my list messages.

[chirp_users] Kenwood TH-K4 programming problem.
by Eduard Crombie 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Hi, I have been using CHIRP since last year when I purchased a Baofeng UV5R. Since then I have been doing so successfully with other radios for friends and colleagues. With two Kenwood TH-K4 (UHF version of TH-K2), who are supported in the latest versions of CHIRP, I have this error window when trying to download from the ht: “could not open port COM2: [Error 5] access denied” after some 60 secs. (“access denied” is “Toegang geweigerd” in Dutch) Using the Kenwood program MCP-1A with same cable (on COM2 and original Prolific chip) I don’t have this problem, but the said software is not as flexible as CHIRP. Any ideas on how to tackle this problem ? 73 Eduard ON7CE

[chirp_users] Straightening out mixed terminology
by Pete Miller 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

Hi, Acknowledging up front that I'm a rookie, so give me all the guidance you think I need. Although I'm sorely tempted to curse the darkness, the reason for this mail is to try to light a candle, in case anyone else has some of the same questions. The challenge is differences in the terminology of repeater directories, CHIRP, and my new, first radio, a BaoFeng UV-5RE Plus. I've looked for answers in the CHIRP FAQ as well as some web searching. If you're not the right ones to deal with some or all of these questions, please share your suggestions about other sources. In advance, thanks. /kc1bkh -- Pete =-=-= Below are examples of a repeater directory table, a csv-formatted table for BaoFeng UV-5RE Plus, and the cloned CHIRP report for the UV-5RE Plus *The overall question:* How does the repeater directory terminology fit CHIRP's and the BaoFeng columns? ( This link was somewhat helpful, btw > http://kc5olo.org/downloads/repeater1.pdf . ) Repeater directory columns FREQOFSSTCITYCALLMODECODE IN OUTSTATUSCOUNTYIRLPECHOLINKS/COMMENTSLas =-= - Freq -- transmit frequency of repeater? yes, according to KC5OLO - OFS -- For example, standard offset for 2m is -600 kHz *What* gets entered *where* in the BaoFeng CSV and cloned columns? Maybe only the "-" or "+" or "split" gets entered? Then the offset is just calculated for each band? - Mode Same as BF-UV5 "Tone Mode", or maybe BF's "Mode" (which is usually FM for 2m band, right?) ? What is "Tone Mode"? - Code In and Code Out-- Here are four examples from the repeater directory 146.445+1MCTBridgeportWA1RJI77.0/ 156.777.0*Fairfield 224.680 (Rocky Hill, CT)2012/09/09146.475+1MCTNorwalk W1NLK100.0100.0Fairfield 2012/09/12146.625- CTFairfieldWB1CQO100.0Fairfield 146.655- CTStamfordW1EE100.0Fairfield 158564 WB1GRB-R2013/01/28 +1M is special offset? 146.445 : What does 77.0 / 156.7 for Code In mean? 146.445 : What does the red typestyle for Code Out mean? * means 'Gated PL' but I don't know what that means, yet.

I do get that the column headers are supposed to guide the process of uploading to the radio, so the *order* of columns can be different. But why not make them the same, anyhow? May be a BaoFeng problem: When I try to manually enter info directly into the clone report, I can enter Name and Frequency, but clicking on other columns just makes the entire row (such as, the row for memory location 22) go away; seems to erase the row. I haven't figured out how to recover it, but since I haven't uploaded anything, I can of course download a new image. Suggestions about how to make direct entry into the downloaded, "cloned" report? =-= Thanks. I've done my best to provide enough context, but if you want any more info, just ask.

Re: [chirp_users] Cannot Upload to Yausu VX-6
by Richard Martinelli 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

I'm having the same problem trying to upload to my Yaesu VX-7R as that which is described in Issue 1433. I was able to download the image, made some changes and now cannot upload it back. The only thing different from what was identified in Issue 1433 is I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and the new Apple FTDI drive is not utilized. I'm running the FTDI 2.2.18 driver downloaded from their site. Is there any update regarding 10.8.5 and the FTDI driver? I have not been able to locate any issues regarding FTDI and 10.8.5. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have tried various changes to the Info.plist file, as suggested by FTDI site documents, but nothing seems to make any deference. So, after several weeks of frustration, I'm looking for any suggestions/help. The cable I'm using was purchased from Valley Enterprises and my system does "see" it and so does CHIRP. It sure does sound like it's a driver issue, but I just don't know were to go from here. I've include the System Panic Report and the CHIRP debug.log, which I ran just before I Forced Quit the program, which causes the system panic. That is the only way I can get CHIRP to stop trying to upload. I would send the after reboot debug.log, but CHIRP automatically restarts and clears the log. Sorry for the long email, I guess it's a "newbee" thing, Rich PANIC REPORT: Interval Since Last Panic Report: 586137 sec Panics Since Last Report: 29 Anonymous UUID:
