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

[chirp_users] UV-5R

Hello, I have 2 UV-5R's, Baofeng, which I am attempting to program with a linux, Zorinos, and a Retevis cable, which I bought with the radios. I have programmed these radios before using a windows laptop. Now I am unable to get the radio to communicate with CHIRP. It goes into clone mode and then I get a "Radio did not respond" error message. This is using /dev/ttyS4, which is the first one I got a response from. I am very much the n00b to linux and CHIRP and could use some clear directions please. Thank you, -- Joel F. Leland

I thought I sent this email the other day but must have started writing it and never sent. Is there any documented cases of Chirp bricking a radio so badly it had to be sent back for a factory restore. I see so many Yaesu users bring this up that they're afraid to use Chirp because it will break a radio bad enough to void warranty etc. etc... Dennis M.

Yes it is listed —> TK-2180/3180/7180/8180 But when you go to the program it isnt in the dropdown (Only TK-8180 ) and it isnt in the overview of supported features I was hoping someone was familiar with the interface for that radio > On Mar 13, 2020, at 11:28 PM, Nigel A.
