[chirp_users] error message when attempting to connect to CHIRP
by dennis＠dencoconstruction.net 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

I have a Rugged RH5R-V@ (Baofeng UV5) and a Baofeng UV82C. I have a Baofeng PC03 FTDI dual pin cable. When I attempt to download my radio's information (rugged rh5r) while connected to CHIRP, following all instructions, I receive the error massage; "An error has occurred" Radio did not respond. Can someone help me figure out what the problem is? Dennis Boxdorfer

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

03 Jan '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-20200103 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #606 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] Patch for "run_all_test.bat" This patch fixes the run_all_tests.bat" batch file so that it will properly access and run the "run_test.py" tests. #7505 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-9R] Add Baofeng UV-9R This patch adds support for the Baofeng UV-9R which, unlike other "waterproof" models, supports 7-character channel names. #7499 [Nicklas Lindgren <nili(a)modio.se>] [h777] Increase some serial timeouts #7119 This solves the BF-888 refused to enter programming mode problem in some cases where more time is needed waiting for radio identification data. This change also increases the timeout when uploading data blocks, which is required for some individual radios.

[chirp_users] Chirp under Linux
by Phil 26 Dec '19

Thank you for reading this. I bought a Baofeng UV-82HP about four months ago and I cannot get Chirp to read from the radio, or in fact to do anything with the radio. I'm running Chirp under Kubuntu and have tried every Chip daily version over the past four months. This is the error message that I receive when I attempt to read from the radio: "Radio did not respond" These are the entered parameters: /dev/ttyUSB0 Baofeng UV-82HP I have read and write access to the serial port which is the same port that I use for several application including programming an Arduino board. I have tried several different Baofeng models, just in case, with the same result. I've trimmed the plastic from the plug so that it slips into the radio's sockets more easily. I've attempted to read from the radio in both channel and frequency modes. Finally, I've searched the Internet for even the slightest clue but to no avail. I do not know anyone who owns a Baofeng radio or who uses Chirp. So this mailing list is my last hope. Any clues at all will greatly appreciated. -- Regards, Phil

[chirp_users] Field names across different radios.
by Dennis Wage 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

Across all the different radios that Chirp supports, are the field option names consistent? To explain what I am asking: For example the tone column in chirp. If the radio manufacturer A's software uses "T SQL" and manufacturer B's software uses "TOME SQL" does chirp default all radios to TSQL? And this goes for all the columns. Another example would be the skip column does chirp always do S and "blank" even if the radio has yes and no or whatever? The reason I am asking is that I like to keep my radios consistent with one another, and I like to copy and paste from one radio to another's CSV file. If they are all different naming conventions I have a lot of "find a replace" to do. In the future I'd like to use chirp for frequency channels on all my radios, and the manufacturers software for menu items. I hope I am clear on this and it explained it plainly enough. 73 Dennis M.
