[chirp_users] Chirp and IC-T70
by Kenneth Bell 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

Hi Chirp says it will work with the IC-T70, but I’m not able to make it work. My symptoms are that I am able to download from the radio without any problem. When I try to send to the radio, it hangs up and does a reset back to factory settings. I have posted a bug, but after a month no one seems to be looking at it. Is there anyone who HAS made Chirp work with IC-T70? Could you tell me the name of the cable you use? Is your IC-T70 an A model or a E model (US OR Europe, I think). What version of Chirp are you using (I’m trying with the latest). Using Mac or PC? Version of Windows? Is there anything special you do to make it work? Thank you in advance. Ken - K4EES

[chirp_users] HELP!
by Ted Smith 07 Sep '19

07 Sep '19

Hi, You guys probably get this all the time, but now it’s my turn. I have been using CHIRP with my Baofeng radios for the past couple of years with no problem. I recently had to upgrade my Mac OS to 10.11. Now I can’t get CHIRP to talk to my radios. I assume it is because the drivers are wrong or something. I have tried downloading the Prolific drivers. No luck so far. There used to be a pl2303 option on the drop down menu when I was uploading/ downloading. It isn’t there anymore. I’m not sure what to do at this point. Please help, I’m begging.

[chirp_users] Baofeng A58S tri-band
by Nick G4IRX 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Hello Chirp list, Picked up a Baofeng A58S tri-band 144/220/430. There seem to a be a few variations of these tri-banders for sale in UK at present. Using CHIRP daily-20190829 which works with my other Baofeng radios. I am unable to get any of the Baofeng models to read the radio, I either get "Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want." or "Error reading data from radio". Are these models new and currently unsupported or is there something else I should be looking at? Thanks, Nick.

[chirp_users] VX-170 download but no upload
by Michal Smialowski 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

I am able to download from the VX-170 but not upload. I take it that the same "clone" mode is used for download and upload. I note that the data for Rx and Tx go through the same pin on the 4 pin yaesu connector. I assume that the Rx and Tx data alternate on the same line because it is shared. Question: When uploading to the radio , does the software need to Tx and Rx to/from the PC to the radio or does it just Tx from PC to radio ? ie is there handshaking involved or just a steady transmit stream from the PC to the radio? tnx Mike VE7SML

Thanks Tony, Not having the cable attached was the key. Didn't know that. Thanks. Didn't find that in the instructions. Didn't know that was not legal. Have to use them differently than I had envisioned. Puzzling that the FCC allowed them to be made that way.

Number 5 on the talkabout radio probably does not correspond to the 5th tone in the drop down box. Google is your friend here. Also, FRS is narrow band FM if I recall correctly.

[chirp_users] Problems with PMR446 frequencies
by Ulrich Heidenreich 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

At first many thanks for the good work the delevopers have done programming that chirp'y thing. It works fine till today. I just wanted to move a block of PMR446 fequencies, which I have sucessfully entered in my YAESU VX6 and then uploaded it from the radio to chirp. But chirp refuses to cut (that works) and paste (that doesn't work) these frequencies from one to another location: It says, this frequencies requires a 6,25 kHz step which is not supported by the radio. That's correct though, because the step really is 12,5 kHz and supported. But the first channel ist shifted by 6,25 kHz as if there seemes to be a 6,25 kHz frequency grid: 446,00625 MHz 446,01875 MHz 446,03125 MHz … and so on Obviously that plays a trick on chirp, so it won't write such frequencies. Do I have a chance other than program these 16 channels anew at another location in the radio and upload them again? As I'm german and my english isn't quite good, excuse my bad english and answer in simply english too, please. Regards, Ulrich

[chirp_users] BF-F8HP_downloading to radio_help needed
by Audrey Davidson 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

I download the CHIRP freeware to my Mac and started entering repeater locations. I saved the file on my computer. I have the programming cord attached from my Mac to radio. However, I can't download to my radio because that option is not available (shaded). Is CHIRP available as a website, so I can download my lists from there to my radio? Thanks for your help. You can also tell me the month, year and thread that you answered this question before.

[chirp_users] Working get my Baofeng UV5R
by whippet＠whippetracing.org 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

Trying I'm trying to get my Baofeng UV5R to talk to my Motorola TalkAbout FRS radio. Initially trying on Channel 5 and security code 5, Frequency 462.6625 and CTCSS 79.7. The light on the Baofeng lights up indicating incoming signal when the Talkabout is keyed. The Talkabout gets a loud noise when the Baofeng is keyed. However, no talk is heard on either. Attached is a screen shot of the current CHIRP set up. Any suggestions? Thanks, Gregg Gammie Yo Quiero Libertad!! Whippet(a)WhippetRacing.org Viva el Insurgente!
