The radio is refusing to send CHIRP the "aux memory" where the Welcome Message, band limits and squelch thresholds are stored. > Any ideas as to what may be going on here Sounds like a hardware/firmware issue. Jim KC9HI Hi Jim I am using the universal programmer (new_old) and it does not give the startup message nor will it let me edit the frequency range of the radio. It also doesn't report the firmware version. All I have is from pushing the 3 button when turning it on which doesn't really report the proper number anymore from what I have read. Guess I can try one of the other versions. I was hoping there was a work around 73 and thanks, Todd AD7VB

[chirp_users] Problems programing new Baofeng UV-5r

I just got a Baofeng UV-5R from Amazon. It shows Firmware Version BFB298 I’m using the FTDI cable for my Wouxun KG-UV3D to program it. The Baofeng OEM software Reads and writes fine to the radio with this cable. Chrip 03/14/19 gives the following error “Radio refused to send second block 0x1f00” Any ideas as to what may be going on here Todd AD7VB Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 From: chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com<mailto:chirp_users-request@intrepid.danplanet.com> Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2019 12:04 PM To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com<mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com> Subject: chirp_users Digest, Vol 123, Issue 16 Send chirp_users mailing list submissions to chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com You can reach the person managing the list at chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of chirp_users digest..."

Dan, I installed it on my laptop with Windows 10 enterprise and it works fine. Actually now able to edit memories in Chirp editor where i never could before. Thanks. Be blessed!

It does the same thing that it used to, but it uses a more modern interface. Also, the uninstaller now removes old chirp config files. There isn't really any need to do this, but some users would get their config in a weird state and were confused about why uninstalling/re-installing wouldn't clear that up. Anyway, if someone running windows could give this a shot and quickly report back that it indeed looks different and that everything looks good, I'd appreciate it.

[chirp_users] changing a field
by Glenn At Home 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

Hi, In my Baofeng CSV file, one of the NOAA weather channels is showing "high instead of off for power. I tried to copy an off field from another power field and paste it into the problem field, but it did not work. What is the procedure for changing values like this? This field is not available in Open Office. Thanks. Glenn The shade tree computer technician Sent From My Tabletop N0YJV

[chirp_users] Request help on using Chirp and a new radio
by Scott Raines 12 Mar '19

12 Mar '19

David, You have helped me before when I needed it and was just learning to download Chirp and, save it etc. And, to download and/or "clone" my old (sent back) Baofeng UV-5R . I have a list of frequencies in a Chirp file and, would like to upload them to a brand new UV-5R 8 watt radio I just received. May I ask a favor? How does one go about sending that list of frequencies to the new radio? If I did this (any of it) more often, or at least ONCE, I'd be ok but, this is all new. Scott

[chirp_users] New Python coming?
by Patty Winter 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

Does anyone know whether Dan is working on a new version of Python to run CHIRP on Macs? I just got the warming about the current version not working when the next release of macOS comes out. I see some 64-bit versions of Python from Apple installed on my Mac, but the installation instructions for CHIRP specifically say to use Dan's Python, which is only 32 bits. Patty N6BIS

Obviously we need to move this code to requests at some point, but since repeaterbook just broke us with the cloudflare change, this is a point fix for a current issue. Fixes #6563
