[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 03 Jun '20

03 Jun '20

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20200603 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #623 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix style issue in tmd710.py Related to #7467 [Rick DeWitt <aa0rd(a)yahoo.com>] [tmd710] New Clone-Mode driver for Kenwood TM-D710/GA/GE. Issue #7467 Implements true clone mode using PROG MCP binary image. [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [QB25] Add MCU Version for Radioddity QB25 This patch adds an additional MCU version to support the Radioddity QB25 quad-band mobile radio. fixes #7915 [Joe Milbourn <joe(a)milbourn.org.uk>] [AnyTone778] Adding support for the Retevis RT95, the CRT Micron UV, and the Midland DBR2500. Closes #6787 - Midland DBR2500, #6425 - Retevis RT95, and #7887 - CRT Micron UV. Creates the AnyTone778UVBase class, and sub-classes it for each new radio. Radio frequency ranges are hard-coded to 144-148MHz and 430-450MHz at the moment, though we know the radio can support more if configured correctly. Radio supports 12.5kHz, 20kHz, and 25kHz channel widths, mapped to NFM, FM, and FM respectively in chirp on import, and written back as 12.5kHz and 25kHz.

[chirp_users] Baofeng BF-F8TD (3 power levels)
by Stefan Halvorsen 02 Jun '20

02 Jun '20

Hello,I just received this radio and it's a collab version of the BF-F8HP between baofeng and TIDRADIO. My question is, when programming it, do I select the BF-F8HP so I can program low, medium, and hi or will I have to choose UV5R since the exact model isn't listed in the list? If uv5r will I be able to program all 3 power levels?Thanks :-)

[chirp_users] Programming The Kenwood TH-F6 for 11 meter RX
by Glenn K0LNY 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hi All, I've been chomping at the bit waiting for my cable for programming this radio, looks like it will come today. As some of you know, this radio can RX most all frequencies. So I was planning on putting in the 11-meter channels, as I have a list of all their frequencies. I'm wondering about programming the SSB for 11-meter, both LSB and USB. My question is, when putting in the frequencies into Chirp, do I just enter LSB or USB instead of AM in the band field with all the same frequencies as I used in AM? Or would I just switch bands on the radio while on a particular channel? Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Are Baofeng leads TTL?
by Phil 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

I have a project in mind that needs a USB interface lead and since I have several Baofeng programming leads I thought I might cut the radio end off and be left with a TTL compatible lead. Is that the way these leads work or are they specific to the Baofeng radio? -- Regards, Phil

The license is buried in the .deb file. It is GPL2. The app is written in Python and the source is also in the .deb. Rich Gordon k0eb

[chirp_users] Repeater listings
by Luke Bryan 29 May '20

29 May '20

Greetings all, I am glad for all the work you do for an open-source radio app! I maintain the repeater database at hearham.live and wonder what the process is to list a repeater source in Chirp? Unlike other repeater books, the full database is accessible in a readily readable format. Even the app is open source. https://hearham.com/repeaters Additionally I hope for this repeater listing to be unlike other repeater books in that it is newer, does not have old old repeaters that were there once years ago, after all the time you take to plug them in... they are not actually there :( Hope you find it useful! Have a great week Luke

[chirp_users] Programming The Kenwood TH-F6
by Glenn K0LNY 28 May '20

28 May '20

Hi, I'm hoping my new programming cable comes today so I can program my Kenwood TH-F6 hand-held. So I know that it has over 400 memory slots, and it can RX all the HF frequencies. So I'm wondering how it works while in Chirp, so I can plan my CSV file. Since I'm Blind and cannot read the display, I may have questions that might otherwise seem obvious to you. 1: Does it have a channel 0, or do they start with 1? 2: I read of banks of memories in groups of 50 for different bands. Is this have to be kept to, or is it just a convenience? In my Baofeng's CSV file, they are intermixed. 3: Can anyone recommend some common HF frequencies that I can program into it? Thanks.

[chirp_users] Programming Arcshell-5
by Jonathan Pierce 26 May '20

26 May '20

Best wishes from a Noob, I am a FireWise neighborhood council member in a rural, high-risk forested area (70 miles from the Paradise Fire) of northern California. Several neighbors and I want to set up a backup evacuation radio notification system for our neighborhood in the event that power (lose cable internet and VOIP phone service) and cell towers are down (the local tower burnt last year during an event). And we have spotty cell coverage at best. We found the best-seller Arcshells on Amazon are powerful and reach through our hilly neighborhood OK. But I understand that 1. The devices are not FCC approved; 2. Antennae is removable; 3. Stock programming is a mix of FRS and GMRS frequencies. Fire chief has given go ahead for us to use them if we don’t interfere with any of the EMS, police, and fire frequencies. The stock frequencies programmed in the Arcshell AR-5 are indeed different than all the official ones used. But some neighbors want the radios reprogrammed so they are strictly only using FRS frequencies. I’ve been able to query and download the memory from an arcshell, and I believe I have figured out how to save a modified memory profile to a file so that it could uploaded to all units. Questions: 1. Using the chirp edit function can I just go ahead and change all channels’ frequencies to strictly FRS permitted ones? 2. Do I need to change any of the other settings like Tone Mode, Tonesql, DTCS Code, etc, or can they just remain as is? Thanks for your knowledgeable help! Jonathan

I can't argue that. I can only report what I see. One version works, one version doesn't. What changed that would affect this?

That no longer works on the latest version of CHIRP. The version that I have installed on my programming laptop is 20200227.

Re: [chirp_users] CHIRP Doesn't Work

>> … Just to be clear, I have tried every Baofeng model currently listed in CHIRP and can't get it to work. Yet thousands are successfully using CHIRP daily … After reading the extensive FAQ and Wiki Help information, most “problems” are solved. Clint Bradford
