[chirp_users] Installer problem
by Tom Murden 12 Dec '20

12 Dec '20

I have a 2016 version of chirp installed on a windows vista pc. If I try to run the installer for the new version, I get several file errors and have to abort. Do I need to remove the old version first. My old chirp version tried to upgrade on its own but nothing happened? Sent from my iPhone

[chirp_users] New to ham radios
by James Walker 11 Dec '20

11 Dec '20

Good morning, I bought a set of Baofeng UV-82hp radios a few weeks ago since than I have not been able to program them. I tried two different cables so far the one that came with the radios and one that I bought from Amazon, the Amazon cable says it’s FTDI, it does flash and recognize my radios but I get an error message while trying to clone says that the radio can’t be Recognized by com port 6. I’ve tried to update, install, reinstall the ports abound twenty times. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. I’m going to try another cable any Sunday would be great! Respectively,

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT7250D with CTF-29
by Silverfox 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

I recently bought a CTF-29 after reading it was the cable to buy based on Youtube videos. I cannot get it to work on windows 10 Pro. On doing a little research on the internet I see that most programming software for the radio come with a USB-29F cable. I am skeptical that there is a difference between the two. Any advice from the experts? Alan - W6ARH

[chirp_users] Version , power level not saved on GT-3TP
by Ceferino Lamb 02 Dec '20

02 Dec '20

Howdy, Just installed CHIRP daily-20201125 and did a minor mod on my Baofeng GT-3TP. That minor mod was only to lower default trx power on one freq in memory, and rev my version counter. The mod to power level won't take. I tried twice. Anybody BTDT? -- K7CRL Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

[chirp_users] Issue with latest build and Baofeng GT-3TP
by Ceferino Lamb 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

I updated today and made a minor mod to my HT, lowering default tx power on one of my stored freqs. That failed to store the mod on HT, no error msg. Tried twice. Failed. Then back in the truck I found that I could no longer hear other HTs in our convoy. So I reset the HT, uninstalled the latest CHIRP build on my w10 box, went back to daily-20201014, re-uploaded file to HT, and all is working fine again. -- K7CRL Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

[chirp_users] Python 3
by Matthew Poletiek 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

Hi Everyone! Huge fan here and Gentoo Linux user who recently found out the chirp package was removed from the main repository due to depending on pygtk which (as far as I understand) has no Python 3 support. I'm willing to help fix any ways I can so I can continue to receive updates in Gentoo. Does anyone have more information, are these assumptions completely out of date, or is there already a bug/feature I can support? Thanks! ------------------------------------------- Matthew Poletiek 303.810.9082 matthew.poletiek(a)gmail.com www.matthewpoletiek.com

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20201125 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #638 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix crash in anytone_iii when memobj isn't loaded The new anytone_iii driver inspected the memory object during get_features(), just to count the memories, which shouldn't be necessary. This papers over that failure with the statically-defined value, but ideally, we'd just replace the dynamic check with a static number. However, this fixes the build, and is the least amount of change. Related to #3941 [Brad Schuler <brad(a)schuler.ws>] [anytone_iii] Add the new radio AnyTone 5888UV-III Related to issue #3941 Add support for the tri-band AnyTone 5888UV-III. Limited inclusion of 2-tone, 5-tone, and scramble settings. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add test image for QYT KT-8R Related to #6843 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [GMRS-50X1] Fix spmute for BTech GMRS-50X1 This patch fixes spmute in the btech driver structure that supports the the following model.

[chirp_users] CHIRP and VX-6: impossible to upload from Mac
by Giulio Marchi 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Hi all, I am quite new to this community so greetings to everyone. Downloading from the radio to the Mac goes just smooth. On the other hand it is impossible from OS X to upload an img file to the VX-6 since it deeply crashes OS X and the only solution is to press and hold the power button (chirp-daily-20201014 and High Sierra). I detailed the issue while updating this bug https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/5543 but I was wondering if anyone had similar issues or has some bright ideas. Thanks, Giulio
