[chirp_users] Kenwood TK-760H Radio Refuse...
by Mike Allred 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Hello, New member/user, so apologies if I'm missing something mundane... I am trying to program a Kenwood TK-760H with Chirp. I am using a Prolific USB to 6pin cable that is supposedly designed for this radio (and similar). When I try to download from the radio it appears to partially work. The display on the radio changes to "- PC -" and shows the PC connection icon in the top left. However, after a few seconds I get the error message "Radio refuse to enter into program mode after a few tries". Of course, I never get the configuration from the radio. Ideas? Thanks, Mike

I got the FT23R UART driver from the FTDICHIP.COM web site today. The web site is https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/ft232r-usb-uart-driver-download-easily… This led me to another we site https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/, the real driver site. I looked over the files and decided on https://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM21228_Setup.zip. This file added COM: 3 to my lap-top, a Dell Precision M6700. I hope this information helps another user. I'm using Chirp software to program the radio. 73 - Myrt - N1GKE -

[chirp_users] Help with Programming Rugged Radios RM-60
by Luis Tiscareno 17 Mar '21

17 Mar '21

searched the site and scoured google, but came up with nothing. Apologies in advance for my lack of knowledge Equipment: Windows 10 64bit Prolific USB to 3.5mm Cable running 3.2.0.0 Driver (as instructed by MIKLOR), correct identified port Rugged Radios RM60 Issue: Need to Program Radio with Chirp. Radio is not listed on Chirp site. I tried selecting other radios such as TYT or QYT as others had used, but software will say 'Radio did not enter clone mode' or radio not recognized, or something along those lines. What am I missing? wrong cable/driver? incorrect radio being selected in Chirp? setting on radio? Do i have to use RT system's software and/or cable? Thanks for any help you can provide. Luis

Attempting to program 3 KGUV9DPlus radios. CHIRP seems to accept the edits, and sends to radio. Even shows all 78 stored channels when loading from radio. BUT the radio is not reading any but the first 2 channels. HELP!

[chirp_users] Support for Yaesu FT-991A?
by Mark Dixon 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

I think this has been asked before, in March 2019, but I'm wondering if there is any further news on Chirp support for the Yaesu FT-991A? Is there perhaps a different model which uses much the same communication protocol that does have Chirp support? Kind regards, Mark Dixon, VK6EZ

[chirp_users] Uv5r question
by ken hartmann 28 Feb '21

28 Feb '21

My buddy and I just purchased baofeng uv5r radios, we have them programmed using chirp, we were trying to hit a repeater in the middle of us, about 23 miles total so maybe 11 miles from each of us. Sometimes he could hear me but I couldn't hear him, then I could hear him and he couldn't hear me, is this an antenna issue ? We are using the rubber duckies that came with them, I also saw a setting for repeaters delay on the settings section, it is set to off, does that need to be changed ? Thankyou ken

Are the intermittent signal drop outs while you both are indoors? Does it happen outdoors? What is the height of the repeater above your elevation? UHF/VHF or both? I believe the setting for repeaters is OK if it is the default setting.
