I'm a new user to Chirp & have a Baofeng UV-5RA (BFB297). I'm using the Chirp Daily Build from 20130111. A few questions: --Is the Freq. on the spreadsheet the TX or the RX Freq.? --On all Channels but where I've put a Tone of 151.4, it displays 88.5, --Also shows 88.5 on ToneSql, 023 in DTCS Code & DTCS RX Code, --What is DTCS Pol which shows NN on all channels, --Is there a source I'm not aware of that explains the meaning of each Column? Some like Name, Tone Mode, Duplex, Offset, Mode, Power, & Skip I know but others I don't. 73s & thanks, Bill

Good suggestion, Jav; -I have gone to the area that you had described in the PREFERENCES. The "Allow applications downloaded from" was already selected to "Anywhere." - I deleted the stand-alone CHIRP app. - I unlocked the "padlock," and selected another of the three selections. - I locked the security padlock. - I restarted the MacBook Pro. - I opened the security area again, then unlocked, selected the proper "Anywhere." - I locked the padlock. - I restarted the computer. - I expanded the ZIP file that contained the Chirp app. - I double clicked the CHIRP APP. - I was greeted with a warning that this app was from the 'net, etc. - I allowed the opening of the app to progress. - Same result, no opening of the app. 73 and thanks! -Mike- KØJTA Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:55:00 -0500 From: Javier Henderson<javier(a)kjsl.org> Subject: Re: [chirp_users] New Daily Build To:mike@s3com.net, Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Message-ID: <CAFoqWpBb5DoBhr2b7zhCuhpGHkwDQnwOQCxyRwkZGYxRj90DhQ(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" On OS X 10.8 the concept of "trusted apps" was introduced.

There are 7 of these radios in my club. There are 4 different firmware versions. Version 281, 291, 295 & 297. My radio uses 291 and works fine with the build I use. It will program the others but will not transmit on some of the versions. Is there a fix for this or coming soon. Thanks aparrisjr(a)carolina.rr.com

I am most likely doing something wrong, here. (As USUAL...) I am a Mac user (mainly) and was happy to realize that CHIRP can run in OS-X! I have downloaded and opened the chirp-daily-20130111.app.zip from today's daily build. I double-clicked it to open, and now have the chirp-daily-20130111, which is a 1.3 Mb stand-alone app, from the way it LOOKS. When I open it, it informs me that I should be made aware of the fact that this was an app that was downloaded from the internet, etc. I click on OK, and it all just stops there. (Repeated attempts to open the app have the same results.) I ran DISK PERMISSIONS with no result that allowed me to go further. I am running a Retina MacBook Pro; This came with OS-X version 10.8.2; Is this the reason for my troubles? I will also be trying this app on an iMac, which is running OS-X 10.6.8.

[chirp_users] Daily build questions
by Mike Schwendeman 09 Jan '13

Sorry to have to ask... But when I follow the link to the daily build (as is offered below), I am somewhat confused, as I see a LOT of possibilities in the "grab it from the following location:" result, as follows: [TXT] Model_Support.html <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20130109/Model_Support.ht…> 09-Jan-2013 00:05 171K [ ] SHA1SUM <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20130109/SHA1SUM> 09-Jan-2013 00:05 472 [TXT] Test_Report.html <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20130109/Test_Report.html> 09-Jan-2013 00:05 47K [ ] chirp-daily-20130109-installer.exe <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20130109/chirp-daily-2013…> 09-Jan-2013 00:05 9.9M [ ] chirp-daily-20130109-win32.zip <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20130109/chirp-daily-2013…> 09-Jan-2013 00:05 12M [ ] chirp-daily-20130109.app.zip <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20130109/chirp-daily-2013…> 09-Jan-2013 00:05 398K [ ] chirp-daily-20130109.tar.gz <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20130109/chirp-daily-2013…> 09-Jan-2013 00:05 266K [ ] rpttool-0.3.tar.gz <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20130109/rpttool-0.3.tar.…> 09-Jan-2013 00:05 142K Now, the model support and test report is obvious, and the one that has the "win32.zip" is fairly obvious to me. (I assume this is used for Windows XP?) But the ones that end in ".exe" and ".app.zip" are not at all clear, I am sorry to have to admit. The ones that end in "tar.gz" are quite possibly to be used if one uses Linux, I am guessing. My questions: - Must one download all of the above files? (Or, just one?) - Which is the one to use, when one wants to use XP, as an example? I have looked through all of the help files here: http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Documentation In looking, I had gone to each of the sections that are mentioned, and have searched for the word "daily." I found nothing that offered how to deal with the daily build. (Maybe I missed it..?) This is a tremendous project, and I THANK THE FOLKS THAT HAVE PUT SO VERY MUCH EFFORT into this service! My point is NOT to be critical in any way, let me be clear on this. It is just that this old phart is looking for a way to possibly streamline the use of this magnificent project.

[chirp_users] raspberry pi
by Stephen Black 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

I have a Raspberry Pi that I have plans to use with chirp.I wanted a platform that I could bring to meeting and have readily available to easily reprogram radios.I have setup the Pi to run on 12 volts and added several powered usb ports. I have read about the chirp"live" download for use with a computer running Windows and understand how that works.As a Linux newbee I have the PI up and running but have a question. Is there a way to setup Chirp as a running program with a automatic or semiautomatic upload of beta's on a Pi. I am running Raspbian version of Linux. Please be easy on me as I am a beginner with Linux.

Thanks Mike, I have not had any issue programming with the Icom software, just Chirp. Does the radio have to be set differently for Chirp than for the Icom 880 programming software? My radio is set up for GPS transmissions when in DV mode, but no matter what mode the 880 is in, Chirp does not communicate with it. I even went in and disabled GPS and tried again, no luck.

[chirp_users] Chirp LiveCD update
by B Giff 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

I am currently uploading a new version of the Chirp LiveCD. It should be available for download by 1900GMT. http://sourceforge.net/projects/chirplivecd I've added a few new features to make the CD even more useful. First is an updater for Chirp. You will see an orange icon on the desktop titled Chirp Updater. Double click it and follow the on screen instructions to update Chirp to the latest release. Please note that if you are running from a CD, the changes will NOT be retained. When you reboot the computer, you will be back to the old version of Chirp. If you plan to use the liveCD more than a time or two, I recommend you make a bootable USB drive (LiveUSB). Instructions are located in the project's wiki. The LiveUSB will retain the updated Chirp and any files you save. For the Chirp developers out there, mercurial is included in this release. For digital mode users, Fldigi is included in this release. Note to all, I will be unable to push out another release until February. Bob

[chirp_users] Power Levels in CSV
by Mike R 05 Jan '13

05 Jan '13

"power is not so much (since not all radios have the same set of power levels and CSV is a radio-agnostic format" I've never seen a radio with more than 3 power levels. To make it universal, can't you set the Power Level field to - - H igh - M edium - L ow *Mike *

[chirp_users] Comments field for BaoFeng UV-5R+

When doing a *.csv export from CHIRP, I noticed that all the fields programmed into my UV-5R+ do not appear to be exported (i.e. cross mode and power). Additionally, my Tuning Step was set to 2.5 but 5 was exported. Is this a possible bug/problem? Thanks in advance ... -- John 73's de K9RSQ

Hello. I'm new to this group, so please pardon me if I don't send/word a question the right way. Is there any chance there are plans to add the FT-50R to the list of radios? I have just got back a bit with the 2 meter group here in Saskatchewan, Canada. But I was able to program my radio with a USB cable . now that's a lot slicker than the old DB9 serial cable.

[chirp_users] D72 export and COM10 follow up
by Sander Pool 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

Hi Dan, thanks for your replies. I read the digest and it's not possible to create a threaded discussion that way so I hope you don't mind a new message. I installed today's build without issue. The D72 export issue has not changed. I wait until all memories are read and select file->export. The progress bar quickly goes 4/5 or so to the right and then stalls. I exited that dialog after a few minutes. No file is created. In this version I was able to enter COM10 by keyboard. I think the prior version had that no text input but perhaps I don't remember correctly. In any event, typing in the COM port is fine by me. It read the F6A channels pretty quickly and was also able to export them without trouble. I suppose I should attempt to run chirp as native python in a debugger and see why the D72 doesn't export. I'm familiar with python but mostly scripts, no GUI apps. I'll check the wiki for Windows build instructions and see if I can get it going. Thanks and 73, Sander

Re: [chirp_users] chirp linux (Roger D Knapp)
by B Giff 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

Roger, Got a few of things for you to try. In Chirp, hit Help then About. It should give you a popup with CHIRP daily-2012mmdd. If you get CHIRP 0.2.3 so something similar, you have the stable version and not the daily. You probably want the daily. Did you install Chirp from source on your Ubuntu machine? While updating the Chirp LiveCD, I discovered a problem with updating via the ppa. That is, since I had done a manual install of Chirp from source, when I updated via the ppa, it would tell me that the most recent version had been installed, but when I tried to open it, the old version would open. The fix was removing the manually installed version. I deleted everything Chirp related from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages. Then Chirp would open the the new version that I installed via the ppa. Make sure you have the correct repository in your /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dansmith-chirp-snapshots-precise.list. One of the two files should have the following lines: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu precise main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu precise main If all else fails, download the Chirp liveCD, use UNetbootin to write it to a USB flash drive and mess around with things. Chirp works and properly updates from the ppa. And, best of all, if you mess it up, simply format the USB drive and write it again. (instructions are located in the wiki of the site below) sourceforge.net/projects/chirplivecd/ The liveCD can even be installed to the hard drive as a fully functional operating system if you desire. I intentionally didn't make it obvious since I don't want people bricking their windows install. It is relatively easy especially if you have prior Linux experience. If you decide to do that, email me directly and I'll suggest a couple of tweaks that will make the hard drive install better. (the other) Bob

[chirp_users] Not showing COM10
by Sander Pool 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

Hi, as I reported in my previous email I'm trying to upload memories to my Kenwood TH-F6A. While that's not working yet I figured I'd try to download them first and verify CHIRP talks F6A. To my surprise CHIRP does not show COM10 as an available port even though it is in the device manager. Putty can open the port fine so it's not occupied. I use W7-x64. What can I do? thanks, Sander W1SOP

[chirp_users] Still having trouble exporting channels from D72
by Sander Pool 01 Jan '13

01 Jan '13

Hi, back in June I reported issues exporting memories from my D72. I never got it to work correctly so shelved CHIRP for later. Well, later is now. I got an F6A and would like to put the same channel list on it as my D72 has. Kenwood in their wisdom writes different control software for each radio so I was hoping CHIRP can help. I downloaded the latest released verion (CHIRP 0.2.3). It downloaded the memories from my D72 pretty quickly. Since I can't shove these downloaded memories straight into the F6A (upload to radio is greyed out) I figured I need to export and then import first. Problem is that export never finishes. It just sits there, no file is getting generated. This is with both the radio connected and not connected. It shows the 'preparing memory list' dialog, the progress bar moves and then stalls about 3/4 of the way there. I can exit the dialog but no file is generated. I've let CHIRP sit there for about 5 minutes which I think should be enough to re-load all the memories from the radio. Disconnecting the radio before export makes no difference. Can I please just export the contents of what is shown in the GUI? Thanks, Sander W1SOP

Re: [chirp_users] An early Christmas present for CHIRP users
by B Giff 27 Dec '12

Joe, Glad you got it working. The liveCD will not save anything to your computer. This is by design to prevent someone from accidentally damaging their Windows installation. If you would like to save the radio files, I recommend one of the following: 1) the "easier" method: after you boot the CD, insert a USB flash drive into a USB port. A window should open. At the top of the window you should see something like 'media disk' or 'media-4B3A' (just examples, not exactly what you will see). This is your USB drive. Linux doesn't use drive letters like Windows does. Anyway, in Chirp, use Save As and either save to the folder /media/whatever (from the top of the window) or save to the desktop and drag and drop. Note: do NOT pull the usb drive out until AFTER you shutdown/reboot the computer. Doing so could corrupt the files on the usb drive (Windows used to be like this too). 2) the preferred method: create a bootable USB (liveUSB) using the instructions on the wiki page of the download site. From there, boot to the USB drive. When you save, it will save to the USB drive. Same warning as above, don't remove the usb drive until after you shutdown/reboot into Windows. Several people use the liveCD or liveUSB as their primary radio loader, but honestly, that isn't what I built it for. My intent was to get people up and running so they wouldn't throw the radio across the room. Then, knowing that the radio works, the user could get Chirp working on Windows at their leisure. Let me know how you fare with the save. Bob

Gary, A full set of instructions for using UNetbootin is on the wiki page below the download link. http://sourceforge.net/p/chirplivecd/wiki/Home/ Short answer: Xubuntu 12.04_Live also, make sure you put a number larger than zero in the "Space used to preserve files across reboots (Ubuntu only)" box. Again, see the wiki. Bob ------------------------------------- I down loaded UNetbootin and installed on a micro SD card in an USB adapter. When I ran the program it asks me to Select Distribution and than gives me a list. Which one should I choose? My operating system is XP. GaryErrol

It's an image of a CD, which means you need to burn it to the CD as an image, not just as a file on the CD. I'm sure googling "burn image to cd in windows" will turn up something useful. I imagine Windows 7 has a way to do this built-in.

Download the .exe version of the liveCD. Once downloaded, double click on the file. After a minute or so, a window will open. Click OK in that window, your CD tray will open and you will be prompted to insert a blank CD. Insert the blank CD, close the tray and click OK on the popup. It will burn the image to CD for you. Then simply reboot your computer to the CD. The exe version is fully self-contained. It requires no additional software to make it work. The iso version on the other hand does require additional software. So again, if you are a Windows user and in doubt, download the Chirp_liveCD_23Dec12_32bit.exe file. Bob

Yes Agreed. I have done exactly this on both Windows XP and Windows 7 and it works as Bob describes. If you doubleclick the exe and it does not open a CD burning utility then you've got a a bad file and should download it again. There's no need for any other CD burning program. Hugh, if you haven't followed Bob's procedure exactly you may just have a CD that is only good as a coaster. Please let us know how if you get everything sorted out.

[chirp_users] An early Christmas present for CHIRP users
by Dan Smith 25 Dec '12

25 Dec '12

Hi all, A CHIRP user has put together something very useful and made it available to the community. It is a "live CD" with CHIRP pre-installed. This concept is common in the Linux world, but if you're not familiar with it, here is a brief description: Users can download and burn the live CD image to a disc (or a USB stick), which makes the media bootable to a self-contained version of Linux, completely separate from your regular system. Linux supports almost every USB-to-serial adapter without fussing with a driver, which makes this a very easy way to program a radio with very little else (besides a programming cable). Booting this CD on relatively recent hardware is likely to be very easy, and will land you in a point-and-click environment with CHIRP already running for you. If you routinely program other people's radios, having this disc in your toolkit should mean that you can boot just about anyone's computer to an environment that will run CHIRP, saving you from having to figure out which driver their hardware needs and modifying their system. If you have trouble with drivers or other issues on your own system, this would give you a relatively simple way to run CHIRP outside of the rest of your system, and without making any changes to it. If you're interested in checking it out, go get it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/chirplivecd/ Be sure to thank Bob (who is on this list) for his hard work! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] Kenwood tm-v71a no longer responding
by Paul Harmor 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

Just recently got back into using Chirp for my radios, after a few months away. Soon as I installed the daily (5-7 days ago), I was THRILLED to find that it'd finally talk to my tm-v71a correctly. Just today, however, after having updated to the 2012-12-24, it fails to receive a response from radio, again, either via auto-detect or manual entry of tm-v71. As well, wondering why I've gotta' run it as root? It worx, but isn't optimal...

Re: [chirp_users] Writing to Yaesu Vx8G

Hi, I have also seen this issue where I can pull data off my Vx8DR but I cannot push data to my radio using chirp 0.2.3 on OSX 10.6.8. The radio sits and waits to receive data, and chirps acts like it is about to start sending data, but the progress bar never starts to move. I regret I don't have my radio with me right now and therefore cannot produce a log file or test changes. Using chrip 0.2.2 on ubuntu 12.04 works fine.

Instead of requiring it to be the same for any upload, this makes it not do the aux block upload if the versions don't match. Now, users can still share images between radios, but must do a fresh clone to get the aux block settings uploaded properly. An error is raised after a successful main block upload, but before the aux block to let them know that this happened. Improves on #344

Thanks Fred OK some more information. I have CHIRP Version 0.2.3 installed on a Windows 7 64bit machine. I have the RT Systems USB cable for the FT60-R and an aftermarket USB cable for the UV-5R. I have installed the drivers for both above cables and verified the COM Port they are using. Both are COM4. I started CHIRP software, plugged in the RT Systems USB cable, held down the Moni key while turning on the FT60-R and the software responded with an error message stating: "An Error has occurred. Radio is not responding" with an OK button. Now I was told by a friend that the FT60-R has a problem conneting for the 1st time, but it will be easier there after.

I unsuccessfully tried using a cheap aftermarket cord for my UV-5R+ on both Linux and Win7. I never could get the radio to communicate. I ended up purchasing a cord from Valley Enterprises (no relation with the company) and it worked. (No driver was needed for Linux. I did need to download a driver for Win7.) I believe the cord was originally for a Kenwood KPG-22 radio. (Valley's part# RPC-K1-UF.) --- Now for something fun... get a female SMA to PL259 adapter, and run your Baofeng through a mobile antenna. You'll be happy! <grin> Bob Nielsen <n7xy(a)clearwire.net> wrote: >You may need to plug in the cable before starting CHIRP, so it picks the correct driver. > >Bob, N7XY > >On Dec 12, 2012, at 3:15 PM, WN6WJN - - Wassim <wn6wjn(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> Thanks Fred >> >> OK some more information. >> >> I have CHIRP Version 0.2.3 installed on a Windows 7 64bit machine. >> >> I have the RT Systems USB cable for the FT60-R and an aftermarket USB cable for the UV-5R. >> >> I have installed the drivers for both above cables and verified the COM Port they are using.

[chirp_users] I need Help...
by WN6WJN - - Wassim 12 Dec '12

12 Dec '12

Hello All Happy Holidays and I hope this message finds you well. I need help really bad. Here is what I am trying to do: I have a Yaesu FT60-R and a Baofeng UV-5R. I want to use CHIRP to transfer all the memory contents on the FT60-R to CHIRP, adjust some entries, add some entries, and move some entries around and then repopulate the FT60-R memories and populate the UV-5R. Now I should say that I have been using my FT60-R for 2 years, but my UV-5R is almost brand new. Thank you for any DETAILED step by step information on how to do this. 73 Wassim

Good evening, I can't seem to upload to my UV5, I have CHIRP on an XP machine, I have downloaded the channel info from my UV5-RE 293. From the help menu I have listed versions GTK 2.24.10 PyGTK 2.24.0 Python 2.7.2 When I try to upload, the radio type & file type buttons are grayed out, can't be changed. Thanks for you help, Tom

But it appears that your efforts to mimic TPE format were unsuccessful, which is why Tom Hayward wanted to know if you had any such problem with genuine TPE format files. From what you said, my guess is that the answer is no. >Is there any other format that would work better for imports into CHIRP? Well my guess is that all formats work fine if they are correctly adhered to. CSV is one of the simplest, and probably easiest to model and debug if you have problems with it. In your case, that is where I would start with CHIRP support.

[chirp_users] TPE format import
by Tom White 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Hello, I have a website that generates several radio programming formats, including the "Travel Plus Export" format, or TPE. A user is complaining that the CHIRP software imports all 70cm repeaters with a 0.6 Mhz offset even if the file itself shows a 5.0 Mhz offset. Is this an issue in the software, or do I need to change something in my file format? I can provide an example export file if that would be helpful. 73, Tom White, K5EHX

Hi Mike, Do you have another radio that works on these repeaters and can you check the settings in the working radio against the UV-5R? Does it transmit on the correct frequencies? Does it receive on the correct frequencies? As others have already suggested do the repeaters need PL to activate? Are the repeaters working? (Don't laugh, it happens) Lou VK3ALB At 13:42 21/11/2012, you wrote: >I can not get my UV-5R to recognize a 2 meter repeater at all. I've >set the offset and every known variable.
