Hello, I have a Baofeng uv5r. I use chirp to add channels freqüência, and to unlock it. But the channel painel doesn't allowed me to input freqüentes that are out of. The original range, such as 980mhz! Despite chirp unlock till 1khz for me Dr. André Berger CRM 115.404 / SP Oftalmologista drberger(a)vita-clinica.com www.vita-clinica.com (11) 2691-0118

I can listen to the various NOAA FM weather stations in AM mode and hear the broadcast perfectly fine. In Los Angeles I could listen to the (very near) local AM broadcast station on any frequency on some radios (including FM broadcast-only receivers). _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users

IIRC, we chose the limit upper boundary to be the highest useful frequency it can be used for. If it is really capable of locking that high on receive, then we should probably make it honor the limits set by the user instead of the arbitrary ones we chose.

by William Griffith II 25 Feb '13

LOL certainly not ready for primetime. I advise not to use this software with your AT5888UV. Works maybe 20% the way you would want. Big trouble with data written to radio that in no way matches what's entered. Made my radio inoperable until I restored factory defaults. Platform, Windows 7, 32 bit professional.

I tried to read a FT8800 radio; I just get an error about not being able to read the header. I followed the 8800 process to put it in clone mode. I used the latest production version of Chirp. As you may be able to tell, this is my first time to try chirp, so if you can direct me on what information I may provide to aid in directing me that would be most welcome.

[chirp_users] ICOM IC-2100H
by Lynch Scott-RTTV40 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

I did a read from my Icom IC-2100 using Chirp. All the memories that were in the radio were loaded into chirp successfully, but there was one additional column called ToneSql that was set for all channels to 88.5. I do not use a Receive tone squelch on any of the channels, so not sure why this column is showing up after the read from the radio. Also, there does not seem to be a way to set the ToneSql to not be active. The drop down menu for each channel does not have a "n/a" or "none" option, just more tone frequencies. How do I make the tone squelch inactive for the receive so I can add some frequencies to the current list and then write back to the radio? Can I just "hide" the ToneSql column and then when I do the write the ToneSql will not be written to the radio? Scott Lynch Freescale Semiconductor MSG R&D 480-413-2723

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R+Upload Error
by Doug Gilbert 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Model: Baofeng UV-5R+ Firmware: BFB297 Driver: Prolilfic 3.2.0.0 Operating System: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Chirp: Daily Build 20121222 I just purchased the UV-5R+ and tried to connect it up to Chirp. Got through the driver installation and Chirp software install thanks to the documentation provided on MIKLOR. I am able to Download the radio parameters into Chirp fine - the "Cloning" window pops up and everything appears to show fine. However after making a frequency change to one channel and trying to Upload the changes back to the radio, I get the message: "Unsupported Firmware Version BFB301 BFB297". This happens right after the "Cloning" window pops up. Since there are so many variables to analyze for potential problems, I downloaded the Baofeng VIP software version: V120725 and tried the same scenario - everything seems to work fine there - Download/Upload. Is Firmware Version BFB297 supported yet by CHIRP? Thanks, Doug

Hi I am having trouble with Chirp. I have chirp running a windows XP home desk top and it works great. I have it running on windows 7 Laptop and it works great. My son windows Vista Laptop and we are having trouble openning a file or saving it. When I have a file download from the UV5R I can enter anything that I want to. but I can not save that file. When I click "save as" it does nothing at all. If I close the program it opens a little window open and asks if I want to save, delete or cancel, I select save and nothing happens. I can also click open from the file drop down and nothing opens or happens. I think this Vista machine is the problem, what do you think Thanks Dave Barber

Re: [chirp_users] Saving file
by Peter Cal 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

So your having problem saving the chirp file that you created. Question is can you save in other applications? For example can you save somthing in notepad? NO same error ? then its something with your operating system. If yes then its not the OS but its pointing towards the software. Remember its BETA.. which means it may be something that does not like your hardware or something like that. Make sure you have the current version of CHIRP. Try removing and reinstalling.. make a small file so as not to waste time adding a lot of information in. Can the software read the information in your radio ? Are the drivers installed correctly? Check your MSCONFIG file for anything that might be a problem with your system. Temporally, pause your virus program.. Try these tips one at a time to find out if any of them work. Have you tried the software that comes from the manufactor of your radio? You have to try determine if the problem is with your OS or with the program. Hope this helps.

[chirp_users] Chirp latest daily with Baofeng UV-5R
by Matt Grice 20 Feb '13

20 Feb '13

Hi all, I am using a Baofeng UV-5R with BFB297 firmware and CHIRP daily (today's build). I have used Chirp successfully with the Wouxun KG-UVD1P, Baofeng UV-3R and Yaesu FT-857D, however, when I use the USB cable I got for my Wouxun to try and download the img from the UV-5R the radio does not communicate with the software. Chirp sends two magic numbers to the rig, but the rig doesn't reply. I have tested Chirp with the Wouxun and the UV-3R, and it works fine. Many thanks Matt M0ZAI

You might wander by the Chirp website and let them know that. They have the UV-5RC on their list for future development because ONE user has repeatedly reported that Chirp crashes on this computer ever time he tries to read the data from his UV-5RC. None of the developers has a UV-5RC so they have not been able to confirm the problem and, of course, no one bothers telling that that there really isn't any problem with that model. -----Original Message----- From: john_k3nxu Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2013 11:49 AM To: baofeng_uv5r(a)yahoogroups.com Subject: [baofeng_uv5r] Re: UV-5RC and Chirp I have a UV-RC BFB293 running CHIRP.

I also noted an entry in that New Model list for be BaoFeng UV-5RC with some further discussion about the history of the request but ending up with the same effect, blocked until some developer has one. I found this rather odd since the BaoFeng UV-5RC is the same radio as the rest of the BaoFeng UV-5R family with just a different case on the outside but the same hardware and firmware inside. From the data listed in the entry, it appears that there is ONE user complaining repeatedly that Chirp crashes when reading data from his radio. I'm going to check with the UV-5R user group to see if anyone else is having any problem with this model. 73 de Tom N4AOF

[chirp_users] Merging files?
by Phaeton 13 Feb '13

13 Feb '13

How do I merge data from a CSV file into a file read from the radio? If I import, it just overwrites the previous read data. I want to take a file with 10 channels and import a file that has 20 channels. ending up with 30 channels Can that be done in a bulk fashion or does each channel have to be copied and pasted? I know that can be done because I've done it but can't figure out how to do 20 or more in one feel swoop. Sent from my 15.4" MacBook Pro, i7 quad core

[chirp_users] Alinco DX-SR8T
by Phaeton 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Would be lovely to see a channel and settings addition to Chiro for this HF transceiver. It has a data connection that will allow SDR or CAT commands so maybe this radio could be added to the list of supported radios? I think it has 900 memories total and there is a receiver only version the DX 8RT. Has there been any developer's discussion on this? Sent from my 15.4" MacBook Pro, i7 quad core

Re: [chirp_users] chirp_users Digest, Vol 50, Issue 18
by Bob Fleck 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

First try using the mailing list I was wondering why finding free programming software for the Yaesu FT-90 was almost impossible? I have found and used the Chirp software for most of my handhelds radios and I love it. Well done team and a big thanks. The FT-90, modified, is a great little radio for the car but a real pain in the afterburner to program especially since it occasionally looses ALL info about once a year. Modifying a programming cable shouldn't be too difficult for the average Ham. Regards Bob VK2BYF (Nowra, South Coast NSW Oz)

[chirp_users] Not showing COM10

12 Feb '13

On 2013-01-01, Dan wrote: /Type COM10 into the box and it will open it. The only way for a "regular" Win32 program to enumerate the available serial ports is to literally try to open every single one of them to see if it fails or succeeds. This takes a bit of time, and can interfere with other things using the ports on your system. I can add this search logic to CHIRP, I just hate to solve the problem in that way. If you'll open a ticket for extending the static list to, say, COM64, I'll be glad to shove that in to make it more intuitive./ -------------------------------- Well, I use COM ports w/ Chirp into the 100's. I agree that enumerating or "blindly" extending the list is a bad idea. My suggestion is to remember any valid (1-256) COM port(s) manually entered into the "COM box", and present them in future invocations. -- Dean AE7Q ps: I've imported all my memories into my new Icom ID-51A using Icom's CS-51 program.

[chirp_users] Problem with Radioreference
by Phaeton 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

When I do a Query Data Source I get frequencies from my zip code but they are all Public Service like police, fire, EMS, Schools, road departments etc.. While that's fine and dandy there is an amateur section at radioreference.com that I can import amateur frequencies using one of the Commander series softwares for Yaesu radios. Please check into this because radioreference should be exporting amateur frequencies along with public service or their should be a choice given in the query operation. Or if I'm missing something let me know what. This is one of the daily build, it's a week or so old but it works great with the Wouxun KGUV6D-Ham Only radio.

[chirp_users] CHIRP 0.3.0 Released
by Dan Smith 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

CHIRP version 0.3.0 has been released. This is a major revision from the previous stable version 0.2.3 and includes a hefty number of bug fixes, features, and support for new radio models. The full story is detailed in the issue tracker here: http://goo.gl/qhqng Below is a summary of higher-level changes: New radios now supported: - Baofeng UV-5R - Icom IC-208H - Icom IC-T7H - Icom IC-T8A - Icom IC-746 - Kenwood TM-G707 - TYT TH-UV3R - TYT TH-UVF1 - Yaesu FT-1802M - Wouxun KG-UV6D/UV6X Major new features: - Better serial port enumeration on Windows - Automatic split->offset conversion during import when odd-split is not supported - Per-memory extra settings and detailed editing - TravelPlus importing - RadioReference importing This cycle has seen more contributors to CHIRP than ever before. What started as a one-man show, later saw a few patches from outsiders here and there, has become a more proper team with consistent contributions from "the regulars." This is good for CHIRP and its users of course, and definitely good for me specifically. The folks that contributed a patch between 0.2.3 and 0.3.0 are: Changes | Author ----------------------------------------------------- 289 | Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com> 86 | Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us> 60 | Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com> 19 | Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com> 4 | David Griffith <dave(a)661.org> 2 | Johan Adler <johan.adler(a)gmail.com> 1 | Ed Santiago <esm(a)r.edsantiago.com> 1 | Eric Allen <ericpallen(a)gmail.com> 1 | Jeremy McDermond <mcdermj(a)xenotropic.com> That adds up to 463 individual changes betwen 0.2.3 and 0.3.0. If you're a user of one of the following families of radios, you may want to thank a developer specifically, as they either wrote or babysit specific drivers: - Yaesu FT-8x7 and Wouxun UV6: Marco Filippi - Yaesu VX-series handhelds and recent Kenwoods: Tom Hayward - Baofeng UV-5R: Jim Unroe This is by no means a comprehensive list of folks to thank, but the above individuals consistently spend time on the these radios to make sure that they work well. The usual downloads can be had on the aptly-named page on the website: http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download I will try to get the PPA archive updated in the next week with a release package for the Ubuntu users. If you're a user of the daily builds, you have the option of getting off that train and running this build at this point. However, the following daily builds will build on top of this, so if you prefer to stay on the bleeding edge, you won't be missing anything by sticking with those instead of the release. We feel pretty good about the current build, but as the stable releases are more likely to get widespread attention than the dailies, we expect to cut an 0.3.1 release soon with fixes for things that are reported by folks upgrading from 0.2.3. -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] FT-2800m

08 Feb '13

Hi All- I've had great success using Chirp on my Mac to program my UV5r's. I'm now trying to use it with my FT-2800m Yaesu mobile. I get a sense that the cable is communicating with the radio, as I sometimes get a message saying the program couldn't get header info, while other times I get an Error message on the radio. I've seen reports of people using different key combinations when powering on to put the radio in pairing mode, which I've done. I'm a little unclear what to do at that point. Can anyone point me to a step-by-step list for programming the ft-2800m with Chirp and a Mac? I'd be forever in your debt. Thanks and 73, Jeff

[chirp_users] UV5R
by Harvey Iri 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Hello I am having a small issue I tries to program my UV5R with the frequencies of my job and I cannot transmit on them, all it does is receive my co-workers, but no transmit. On my repeaters it works fine. the frequencies in question are in the 161 MHZ and 162 MHZ range. I used the Baofeng Software, and did not work. So then I used the Chirp and was able to put it on the radio but again no transmit. Version on my radio is the older version. If there is any other software I can use to unlock those 2 frequencies let me know, if you have any questions for more information just email me. Thanks, Harvey.

[chirp_users] Success!
by greg combs 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Dan, I bought a CAT/USB cord thru e-Bay, installed the driver, hooked it up, booted CHIRP, followed your instructions, finagled a bit, and VOILA! There was the entire memory of my '817(ND) in front of my eyes. By finagling I mean that I had to work with the "A" and "C" buttons on the radio to get the right sequence, but I managed to both download and upload the memory info. The 50 meter channel change went smoothly, and I dived into the VHF/UHF part to clean it up and add new entries. Boy, what fun! This is the first time in 53 years of hamming that I have actually hooked a computer to a radio--and it worked! 73, Greg, K7ZX

Well, It depends on how and how much you are reading... The last sentence say it must comply with part 95 specifications... So, yes this radio can comply with part 95 easily...this radio complies with part 90 with much stricter rules. That's where the fun starts...Depending on how the radio is programmed will make it compliant or not. If you disable all but the GMRS frequencies and limit the power on those frequencies you can comply.. Now as an emergency radio...All is fair if there is an emergency... Take a look under radio and pick the repeaterbook for your source and you can load in all the repeaters in your area...

[chirp_users] FT-7900r
by Jeffrey Deuel 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hello- I've done quite a bit of searching, and I'm unable to find the answer to this: I have a Baofeng UV5r that I'm successfully programming with Chirp. I just picked up an FT-7900r and the RT Systems software/cable. I want to use the programmed channels, etc I have in the UV5r Chirp file and transfer them to the FT-7900r. Is this do-able, and will I be able to use the RT Systems cable? I'm on a Mac, and the daily release is working for me-will this also work on the new Yaesu, or should I d/l the stable release? Thanks so much- Jeff KF6DBA

I have used CHIRP to download my VX-7R's configuration (previously created with VX-7 Commander) and noted that some of the radio-wide features were not displayed .. only the contents of the specific memory channels. Is there any plan to address additional configuration items as is done for the UV-5R? I also did not see a FMN or half deviation setting. - John 73's de K9RSQ

[chirp_users] Baofeng Models and Cables
by ALAN 31 Jan '13

My question is, with all the different models. Just what is the difference if any between model a-b-c- and model E for instance. My model "E" will not work with my plain UV-5R. The dealer I bought it from is saying that I need a cable specific for this model. Is this untrue? Is there a difference that demands another cable? If so what newer model should I get as I try to return the two I bought for a friend and myself. Very Disappointed Thanks Alan

Thanks for the update guys ... CHIRP is a fantastic product. I was very surprised to find the breadth and depth of radios that it supports. Not having all the bells and whistles of a vendor specific product does not impact from its usability in any way. Focusing on the memory channels as a priority makes good sense. Keep up the great work ... it is greatly appreciated. -- John 73's de K9RSQ

To all. There is some difference even between BFB927 radios.Some minor changes at the factory. I sent the bug 463 and 465. Jim was working on this.I know the latest build seems to have solved the issues with all the ones I have here.(8 units) I'd suggest: #1 do a menu 40 reset all. #2 uninstall chirp #3 get the latest daily build. #4 download from the problem radio.The image from one BFB297 to Another BFB297 can be two different images and not compatible because of the change in firmware on the radio.Even though they are all BFB297 there seems to be two versions of BFB297.. #5 Upload the image to test compatibility. #6 you can try to upload to other radios with the two versions but may only get the memories not the extra goodies. #7 let me know if there is anything else. I've been doing some digging as well.There is a definite difference between some BFB297's to other BFB297's.Knowing the Chinese they fixed or added something and never bothered to give it a new revision.this happens!

The answers are 1= Yes 2= yes 3=I tried that 4= Yes I did 5= Yes it is always the same radio that gives me trouble, I know this because I have uploaded repeaters to the 1st radio, and it had more frequencies loaded. It is only one radio that is a problem. I believe it may be more cost effective just to purchase an additional unit and see if it still occurs. I can have one in in about two or three days.I will see if that works. Also there is a Baofeng dealer in my city.

All, Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available in the KK7DS Ham-Apps yum repository. To add the repository as a software source, please follow these instructions: http://www.d-rats.com/component/content/article/30-d-rats-yum-repository/ For those who don't wish to use the repository, or who may want to build from source themselves the RPMs are available for download here: http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/17/noarch/chirp-daily_2013012… http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/17/SRPMS/chirp-daily_20130120… Fedora Users NOTE: Fedora 18 was released a few days ago. Fedora 18 RPMs are not in the KK7DS repository yet. Once we get fully switched over to the new release the builds going into the repository will become Fedora 18 builds. For now, you can get Fedora 18 RPMs here: http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/18/noarch/chirp-daily_2013011… http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/18/SRPMS/chirp-daily_20130119… The Fedora 18 RPMs will not be updated as frequently as the "daily" until we get fully switched over, because that build process is not automated. For more information about Fedora 18, check out the Fedora Project website: http://fedoraproject.org/ FYI: Fedora 18 RPMs for D-RATS are also in the same folder on the N0SO website: http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/18/ Another NOTE: Each time an announcement for a new chirp daily build is sent, the Fedora Linux binary RPM for that build should be available in the KK7DS repository within a few hours. Once in a while we have "snafu" that interferes with that automatic process, but for the most part you can count on the latest daily build being in the repository. I stopped sending an announcement to the list for each build to avoid it being considered SPAM. Enjoy and 73, Mike, N0SO
