Gosh! Thanks for being kind about that! I think that I am too outspoken, and I actually meant to delete the email. I was momentarily stunned when I saw a post with exactly the same subject! Yes...I like what you have recommended. I used to have a link to something similar, but then the web page went away. Saay...what's up here? I feel cheated <grin> Instructions For Specific Clients No Eudora! Again, thanks for the suggestion. Much appreciated, and I have bookmarked it. ~Rich~ On 2020-04-01 09:25:-0500, you wrote: >On Wed, Apr 1, 2020 at 8:50 AM NE1EE - Rich <<mailto:NE1EE@hotmail.com>NE1EE(a)hotmail.com> wrote: > >So maybe we could have some sort of monthly reminder email, with explanations? > >A gentile but direct reminder is more effective I think, but it wouldn't hurt to reference the full list once a breach is noted (for everyone). > >This list seems pretty complete: > ><https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/MailingListEtiquette>https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/MailingListEtiquette > >Thanks, >Richard

[chirp_users] email / forum etiquette
by NE1EE - Rich 01 Apr '20

Well, I often see breaches of etiquette. The most serious of these is hijacked threads. I find it nearly impossible sometimes to find what I am looking for, because a thread with subject A will really be about subject B. So maybe we could have some sort of monthly reminder email, with explanations? ~R~ 73 de Rich NE1EE On the banks of the Piscataqua

David asked if I got a new thread...so I logged into the email package to see. NO...my "new" subject is under a thread of Yaesu FT-7100 Baofeng UV-5RA showing the hijacked message My message appears in the same 5RA thread. I was under the impression that, though the standard called out the use of In-Reply-To, it was rarely used. Not the case here, as the mail package correctly identified the thread. I suppose that has some usefulness, because someone could preserve the thread and change the subject, providing a clue to someone of the thread content. So ... You need to start a new message. Mike, WB4TTZ is entirely correct. I'm glad I ran the test and got the answer to a pending question in my mind, though I didn't know how to find it. Thanks Mike! ~R~

Not quite what I received... On 2020-03-31 07:26:-0500, you wrote: >And I thought that is what I did? Deleted all the old text Yup...looked very clean. > and put a new >subject. Mine still said "Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5RA" which I didn't mind, as you were replying to a thread. I just had always wondered if I could simply reply, change the subject, and start anew, which is why I posted. >On 3/31/2020 6:51 AM, NE1EE - Rich wrote: >> This is a test of another method of replying and getting a new subject. >> I replied to the message I got, but I changed the subject completely, then wrote my message. >> I could have deleted Dave's part, but I wanted to retain relevance for this post. >> This is an experiment...I guess that we all will see the outcome. >> >> 2020-03-31 0751 >> ~R~ >> 73 de Rich NE1EE >> On the banks of the Piscataqua >> >> On 2020-03-30 19:34:-0400, you wrote: >>> On Mon, Mar 30, 2020, 19:29 David <<mailto:weather@lightingunlimited.com>weather(a)lightingunlimited.com> wrote: >>> >>> Not sure how to do that? >>> >>> David >>> >>> Info is at the bottom of every email but the answer is send your question to >>> <mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com>chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com >>> >>> Dave >>> W2IJL >> _______________________________________________ >> chirp_users mailing list >> chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com >> http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users >> This message was sent to Dave at weather(a)lightingunlimited.com >> To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com >_______________________________________________ >chirp_users mailing list >chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com >http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users >This message was sent to Rich NE1EE at ne1ee(a)hotmail.com >To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com ~R~ 73 de Rich NE1EE On the banks of the Piscataqua

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5RA...lost first words
by Bill Card 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

This is relating to the discussion about... >> "I am using a UV-5RA and it has about a sec delay before I hear the other person talk is this normal or is there a setting someplace that I can change? A real pain as it cuts off the other persons one or 2 first words." I've followed the discussion but haven't seen anyone mention that, if the other person in your communication is using VOX, you'll lose the first few words of his/her transmission. When I used to use it with CBs on motorcycles, we had to blow into the mic, wait a second, then transmit to avoid loss of the first few words. So it might not be your radio at all.

Rick: When you edit the subject of an email so that it LOOKS as if it is a new thread, it does not change the internal header information. Your header still contains information that indicates it is a "Reply to" message. This is what is in your header: X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 7.1.0.9 Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2020 07:51:15 -0400 To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> From: NE1EE - Rich <NE1EE(a)hotmail.com> In-Reply-To: <CACNsWt8Vrgx3tVCyXFy4B+jXx+8h2-LR0ty3QLTSwtM1BK4_Jg(a)mail.g mail.com> You need to start a new message.

This is a test of another method of replying and getting a new subject. I replied to the message I got, but I changed the subject completely, then wrote my message. I could have deleted Dave's part, but I wanted to retain relevance for this post. This is an experiment...I guess that we all will see the outcome. 2020-03-31 0751 ~R~ 73 de Rich NE1EE On the banks of the Piscataqua On 2020-03-30 19:34:-0400, you wrote: >On Mon, Mar 30, 2020, 19:29 David <<mailto:weather@lightingunlimited.com>weather(a)lightingunlimited.com> wrote: > >Not sure how to do that? > >David > >Info is at the bottom of every email but the answer is send your question to ><mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com>chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > >Dave >W2IJL

Thanks for posting this. Not only is hijacking rude, but then not deleting the no longer relevant material adds to the confusion. ~R~ 73 de Rich NE1EE On the banks of the Piscataqua On 2020-03-30 18:47:-0400, you wrote: >In the future when you want to address the group with a question, please start your own post and don't hijack someone else's' >Thank you.

Thanks for reposting this so clearly. It is unfortunate that our "reflex" seems to be to skip that first step. I do something similar: TH-D72A as found 20200320 then TH-D72A HAM NOAA 20200327a TH-D72A HAM NOAA FRS GMRS MURS SL 20200327a TH-D72A HAM NOAA FRS GMRS MURS SL 20200327b so that the saved file shows the content of the configuration. That way I can have several. I will often sit down and create different configs on the same day, so I change the "HAM NOAA" part to show that. TH-D72A GOTR2020 20200327a (to support a local event) I use "20200327a" > "20200327b" when I update a config the same day, and want to keep track of the changes. That way, if I screw up, I can go back and start over, but don't have to reload the whole radio. ~R~ 73 de Rich NE1EE On the banks of the Piscataqua On 2020-03-30 18:43:-0400, you wrote: >(1) The first thing you must do with CHIRP is download from the radio to create an image (.img file) for CHIRP to use for your radio. Save-As that file in a safe place to have it available to restore the radio later if needed. Name it something like "FT-7100 Initial Download Image 03-20-2020" >(2) Make the changes you want using the CHIRP editor, and then save that file with something like "FT-7100 Changes 03-30-2010" >(3) Upload your newly modified image file to the radio.

I hauled out my FT-7100 and thought I'd give CHIRP a try for programming it since it's no in the list of supported radios. Everything went smoothly until I tried to connect to the radio. I'm using a Tripp-Lite USB to Serial adapter and my Win10 machine shows in on port 10. When trying to upload a newly edited copy of an old .eep file, I eventually receive a message that says it can't connect to the radio. Looking for troubleshooting ideas. Dick W4RSS
