[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-82HP and iMac
by ALAN BARKER 15 May '19

15 May '19

Sorry to be so dense but I need some help. I used to be able to have some fun with chirp but I've not been able to interact with my radios (baofeng UV-5RE Plus and UV-82HP) since getting a new computer. On an older computer and with an older cable I could access my UV-5RE fine but now I can’t get it to recognize anything. So, I’ve got the latest build of chirp (20190511) I’m running on an iMac with OS 10.14.4 Mojave When start up Chirp and try to download from radio (with the cable (newly purchased as I thought that might be the problem), turn the radio on max volume and hit the “OK” button, I immediately get an error message that reads: “An error has occurred could not open port /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync’” Where am I going wrong?

We really need to save this thread someplace as a computer support experience. We couldn't make up a better example of how not to request help and how not to respond to a request. General questions with no information and specific suggestions assuming a problem but based upon no information. Jerry On 5/15/19 3:00 PM, chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com wrote: > 1.

[chirp_users] Help wanted for the support of the KG-UV8T...
by Pavel Milanes Costa 11 May '19

11 May '19

Call for users of the Wuoxun KG-UV8T to test compatibility with the new KG-UV8E driver. If you are a user of the Wuoxun KG-UV8T your help is needed to fully support this radio with the Wuoxun KG-UV8E model. All evidence points that the 8E & 8T are clones, but logs and images are needed to test that. We need you to try to download the information from a Wuoxun KG-UV8T using the settings of the Wuoxun KG-UV8E in Chirp, if you success we need the debug.log and the image saved of your radio. Here you can find how to get the debug.log: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/How_To_Report_Issues#Gettin… You can send your log & image attached in a mail to me via pavelmc @ gmail . com, or via the chirp site link (needs a registered user) https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/5481#note-37 Cheers Pavel CO7WT.

[chirp_users] Questions about Wouxun driver.
by Mermaid 11 May '19

11 May '19

Hey everyone. And hats off to Pavel Milanes, and Bob Wickline . Quite happy that the Wouxun driver came out for the KG-UV8E / KG-UV8T. A much needed driver as those radios are getting quite popular. I have a question regarding the new driver as as well the old one that is based from. Even before this build, I’e seen using the KG-UV9D Plus driver, and have noticed the settings tab exists but empty, I notice this new version does the same for the KG-UV8E as well. Is having an empty settings tab normal or am I doing something weird?

[chirp_users] BF-888s
by Dan Jolley 11 May '19

11 May '19

I was up late last night working on this radio problem and I've been at it all morning. I've spent 20 minutes trying to figure out why my COM port quit working. Well, I forgot to turn the radio on.... I need a break and had a good laugh!

[chirp_users] Updated - In reference to Bug # 5027 - New Baofeng BF-888s started in English, but after being programmed they got stuck on Chinese and couldn't change back to English.
by Dan Jolley 11 May '19

11 May '19

Update May 11, 2019 - I got in touch with Amazon Product Support and they had a new BF-888s PDF Manual to download. I got to the part that said "ON CHANNEL 15, PRESS AND HOLD THE PTT AND MONI BUTTONS WHILE SWITCHING ON THE TRANSEIVER TO CHANGE THE VOICE PROMPT LANGUAGE (CHI / ENG)". I loaded the original Chinese image in English, then I loaded an image that I knew was already in English, but it was in Chinese. After doing the instructions, the image went back to English. So all the things I tried were in vain. I went back and read the BF-888s manual from 2016 and those instructions were there too, but I missed it. But I figured you guys already knew about it. I just thought I'd pass this along to others who did not know about it. Dan Jolley

[chirp_users] In reference to Bug # 5027 - New Baofeng BF-888s started in English, but after being programmed they got stuck on Chinese and couldn't change back to English.
by Dan Jolley 10 May '19

Well ya'll, I finally got it working. Besides CHIRP, I had a couple of old BF-888s Chinese programs that would normally change it to English, but these would not, and I still don't know why. These radios definitely have a bug in the software! I assume ya'll have enough original factory images from the Baofeng BF-888s so I don't have to supply any and you can reference them. I took care to test for English or Chinese as I ran these tests. Test 1 - I entered all FRS frequencies and removed the Chinese Frequencies. I noticed as I installed the FRS frequencies, all of the characters in the other colums went away and I never lost the English from the radio. (the characters in the original image columns). Test 2 - Removed all Tone Modes. Test 3 - Changed the mode from NM to NFM Test 4 - Removed all skipped channels. So now I have 2 new working BF-888s that Amazon dropped off at lunch. I can't think of anything better to do on this cold wet rainy day... it took me 3 hours to get it to work. I'll leave the technical aspect why they didn't work to the pros & programmers. I could have given you an already working image but I put a lot of work into this. Here's the working image. I know there's more info to add into the lists & columns, so someone may encounter the Chinese again. I didn't fix it, I got the radios so I could program the FRS channels in them, and it started working.
