[chirp_users] jetstream jt270m on win10
by Patricia Wilson 30 Jul '19

30 Jul '19

I cannot figure out how to get my radio to download to chirp. I have CHIRP daily-20190703 installed and the usb cable going to the mic input on the radio. I suspect that win10 doesn't like whatever chip there is in the cable but would appreciate suggestions to try before I get another cable (from the known good list). -- Patricia Wilson Apache Junction, AZ Member NRA, ARRL WB8DXX (Extra)

[chirp_users] CHIRP won't recognize .csv file
by Dave C 29 Jul '19

29 Jul '19

I just got a new mobile, a YAESU FTM-7250. Since CHIRP doesn't support this radio yet, also I bought a programming cable and software from RT Systems. This afternoon I built a big (100 plus lines) file with a lot of local and regional repeaters and simplex channels and successfully downloaded it to the new radio, and it all works fine. I then saved the file as a .CSV file so I could import it into CHIRP and load it into my other radios. Unfortunately, when I try to import the .CSV file into CHIRP it tells me the file isn't recognized. I saved the file in .CSV format both from the RT Systems software and from an Open Office spreadsheet and neither will load. I haven't had any trouble loading other .CSV files into CHIRP in the past so I'm mystified as to why this one won't work. Any help would be appreciated. thanks Dave KG7HBQ

[chirp_users] Mac OS 10.15 Catalina (beta) and CHIRP
by Coyote 28 Jul '19

28 Jul '19

Greetings, Currently doing the Catalina beta program, and have discovered after installing it, CHIRP will no longer run. Did reinstall the Python Runtime as I have had to do with other updates, but this time CHIRP will only pop up in the Dock for a second or two and then quit. No error messages thrown. Anyone here doing the beta and have managed to get CHIRP to work? — Coyote

Re: [chirp_users] Yaesu 3200D and RT Systems cable problem
by Jan Ditzian 27 Jul '19

I appreciate the answers to my query. The discussion suggests that the cable should work with Chirp, and my findings suggest that it does, to some extent. If someone has figured out how I can either avoid or circumvent the error message and unwillingness of Chirp to work with the data, I would appreciate that. Nigel's message contained an attachment that did not come through to me; I do not know why. This might have my answer. Nigel can e-mail me direct at KX2A(a)arrl.net.. 73, Jan, KX2A

[chirp_users] Yaesu FTM-3200D
by Kenneth Strom VA3KRS 27 Jul '19

27 Jul '19

Regarding programming the Yaesu FTM-3200D, I use the RT Systems ADMS-M3200/3207 software & USB-29F cable. The radio cannot communicate with CHIRP directly, nor can it read the CSV file I created from their software using all the correct settings. Tried every method(s) and did not work.

Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV-82HP Programming Issues (MacOS Mojave 10.14.5)

Your cable is probably not seated correctly in the radio. You may need to shave some of the plastic around the connector to get it. Common with some cables.

[chirp_users] Programming Baofeng UV-9
by William Thompson 24 Jul '19

24 Jul '19

I'm helping a group program their new radios. They have Baofeng UV-9, not 9R, but UV-9. There are no manufacture labels except in the battery compartment. It appears to be a UV-5R variant as it incorporates the Kenwood standard 2-pin plug and a 5R spkr-mic works with the radio. I'm using the same cable that I use with my 5R but the radio fails to respond to Chirp no matter what radio model I use in the Baofeng and BTECH listings. Is there a preferred for this radio. By the way, it doesn't show a firmware version on power-up. 73, William

I am having issues using CHIRP to program my brand new Baofeng UV-82HP. I have an FTDI cable and am using a Mac (MacOS Mojave 10.14.5) and CHIRP 7.13.2019. I have zero problems with downloading from and programming to my BF-F8HP, but the UV-82HP will not work. Every time I connect to the radio and attempt to do the original image download, the radio restarts itself, and then CHIRP then gives me “Radio did not respond” error. Brennan J.
