[chirp_users] Wouxon KG-699E
by Pat Anderson 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

I have a Wouxon KG-699E, which is not listed as a radio supported by CHIRP. I think I programmed it with CHIRP, unless back in the day I had Wouxon's own programming software. So I tried to program the KG-699E with the CHIRP KG-816 driver, and it worked as far as download from and upload memories to radio. Setting tab is blank however. I assume the supported Wouxon radios would show something on the setting tab? So I am wondering if there ever has been a CHIRP driver for the KG-699E, and whether there ever will be?

[chirp_users] CHIRP ON LINUX,UNABLE TO FIND COM PORT FOR BAOFENG
by KBD99603 20 Apr '19

20 Apr '19

Hello everyone, I have a Baofeng BF-UVB3 8W radio. My computer is linux, running Ubuntu 18.10, the newest. I have CHIRP installed and running, but I am not able to find the COM port for my radio, connected via a USB programming cable. I have entered every terminal command line I could find info about on the internet, even one that showed me port numbers for connected devices, yet there is no port number or path that works for my radio. What COM port should I use? Thank You KBD99603 Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

[chirp_users] Baojie and Step problems
by Andreu Bassols Alcón 20 Apr '19

Hi, I'm a happy user of CHIRP with a Baofeng UV-5R! Now I've purchased another chinese radio, Baojie BJ-318. Chirp supports BJ-218 in fact I think is almost the same. Program works with it, downloads and uploads data. BUT I cannot specify, for example, a channel with a frecuency "145.2875" CHIRP says that "Error setting memory: Tuning step 12.50 not supported - Frequency requires 12.50khz step". Which is false, radio supports 6.5/12.5 steps and in fact MANUALLY you can save 145.2875. Is this a bug, or a feature? :-) Thank you!!! -- Andreu Bassols i Alcón http://about.me/anigwei

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-65R support in CHIRP daily-20190412
by emb sys dev 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

I just installed CHIRP daily-20190412, and was able to program my Yaesu FT-65R with my standard list of repeaters from a CSV exported from a QYT-8900D, which was itself previously programmed with CHIRP. Many thanks and mad props to Dan Clemmenson. I followed the developer list traffic on this with quite some interest, so I know Dan Clemmenson (and Dan Smith) put in a lot of effort to get this working. Much appreciated! At one point last year, not too long before Dan started working on it, I signaled that I was going to dig into it....but like many before me, time and circumstance intervened, and I never fully engaged on it. 73 de AE0BQ Darryl N

Thanks for the heads up on the key lock Jim. That got back the operation of the keys now to try & finish programming. The freqs Iisted were not entered by me just appeared after lockup as well as Chinese language. Don
