[chirp_users] Rs: setting up a uv-5ra via Chirp
by Steve 16 Oct '19

16 Oct '19

Hi chirp_users. I am having trouble understanding Chirp. I have no problem programming my Baofeng UV-5RA HT direct from the ht's onboard keyboard. I don't understand some of the columns on the Chirp display after uploading the ht's memory. The memory in the ht should be clean after the factory reset. In the attached picture memory channels 1 to 10 are the way all of the memory channels are after the memory up load to Chirp after the ht factory reset. Now to the collumns, I know the column (tone) is for the tx ctcs and I assume that the (tonesql) is the rx ctcs. Why do the ctcs columns have 88.5hz in both columns. Those columns should be empty or 00.0 like in ch 11 in the attached picture. And what are the columns DTCS code,DTCS rx code DTCS pol. Why is there numbers and letters in the DTCS columns? Cross Mode I know, Duplex I know, offset I know, mode and power I know. Somewhere in Chirp is the setup to program the displays MDF (A) and MDF (B). I have seen a lot of chats saying it is there but no direct info to find it. I could use some help please.

Re: [chirp_users] setting up the (B) display in a uv-5ra
by Steve 14 Oct '19

Hi chirp_users. I have a Baofeng UV-5RA HT. I am trying to reset up the HT the way it was after #40 (factory reset) in the HT's menu was hit. I remember most of the layout of the HT's memory when I looked at it via Chirp, but I never saved it. The layout as I remember starts at memory ch 1. From ch 1 to about ch 30 was filled with ham repeater frequencys and simples ch's. all on the (A, top display). Then there was about 20 blank ch's. The 21st ch had FRS1 on the 21st memory ch and so on. I don;t know how to setup the 21st memory ch to on the (B) lower display FRS1 and to rx/tx to the other FRS ht's that I have.

Found a really weird bug on my UV5R today by accident. If you have one, try it and see if yours does the same thing. Press and hold PTT. While holding PTT push 1 on the keypad and hold for 5 seconds. This of course sends DTMF #1. If you release the PTT while still holding the 1 button, the radio stays in transmit mode with the microphone on even though the display says it's back in receive mode. I found no way to stop the transmission except to turn off the radio. Dennis M.

Hi everyone, I wanted to program a new frequency in my transceiver but I now get an error message when I look at COM4 in device manager...it reads...PL2303HXA PHASED OUT SINCE 2012 PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SUPPLIER.

I have used the programming software and generic cable successfully prior to the latest version of CHIRP. Can anyone advise me for a fix. Thanking you in advance. Tony Argentino

[chirp_users] 64-bit Python.app for macOS 10.15 Catalina
by Jeff Zarge - K3JRZ 10 Oct '19

10 Oct '19

Will there be a 64-bit version of the Python app in the KK7DS Python runtime or should Mac users just update the version of Python that they're running on their own to keep Chirp working when updating to macOS 10.15? Thanks & 73, Jeff K3JRZ https://www.qrz.com/db/K3JRZ 100WAAW <http://100wattsandawire.com/thegathering/> #404
