[chirp_users] Retevis 22 programming question
by Rebecca Williams 18 Jun '20

18 Jun '20

Hi ! I am an amateur radio programmer (meaning I have been nominated by my office to program 30 radios). I have 10 Retevis 22s who have successfully downloaded the frequencies from a VX261. I have another 10 Retevis 22s that will come back as some sort of program. Any idea what is making it do that when I go to clone the frequencies? THANKS! Becky

[chirp_users] Unable to Download from GMRS-V1
by Aric Gregson 15 Jun '20

15 Jun '20

Hello, I am new to this. I installed Chrip on a Mac (the latest daily build yesterday). I was unable to download from the GMRS-V1. I was given an error the that length of data did not match expected. Is this a known issue? Is there a work-around? Did I do something incorrectly? Thanks in advance, Aric

[chirp_users] CRT Micron Frequency Issue
by Paul G7BHE 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

Hi everyone I have just bought an expanded CRT Micron UV. It has frequency coverage of 136-174 and 400-490. CHIRP is not allowing me to enter frequencies outside of 144-146 & 430-440. Has anyone else encountered this? Is it a CHIRP issue perhaps? I am able to enter the frequencies manually onto the radio and using the OEM software. But frankly that is a really bad program. Thanks Paul G7BHE Sent from my iPhone

[chirp_users] CHMOD ...
by Peter 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

Hi all: I am not sure who came up with the brilliant tip of chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0 as I have deleted the email suggesting that. So THANK YOU for that suggestion. I was getting frustrated trying to get Chirp on Linux Mint 19.2 to up/download from my new (to me) Icom 2100H. All I got was error messages that the radio had responded inappropriately. Until I did the chmod thing. IT WORKED. So, thanks again. Now I can get going on the next step of a very long march.

As there appears to be reports of success with using OS X CHIRP, I can only assume it’s specific to the UV-82 (the newer “High Power” version, which seems to be distinct to the original UV-82HP) and/or my 2012 Mac computers (doubtful its a problem with the computers are they are different hardware-wise and OS version-wise). >> >> Can anyone provide any insight, guidance, suggestions that may work for the hardware mentioned? > > Hi Ken, > > I have no issues here with my Baofeng UV-82HP on my MacBook Air > running macOS Catalina.

But I don’t believe this is connection issue for me since under OS X on my laptop, I booted to Windows without touching the cable nor reseating the connections, and CHIRP/Windows 10 worked just fine. Again, I believe this issue may be software related involving the “newer” Baofeng UV-82 High Power (which technically is not the same as the UV-82HP), but only on the OS X version of CHIRP (perhaps OS X driver-related as well).
