[chirp_users] Yaesu Vertex VX-150
by Jim Tinlin 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

I didn't see the VX-150 explicitly listed as compatible. But I did see the VX-170 listed, so can I use chirp for programming my VX-150 by selecting the VX-170? Thanks in advance. Jim Tinlin K6JRT

[chirp_users] VV-898SP
by Steve 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

I have a new Leixen VV-898SP backpack radio and it works OK with the factory software. The problem I am having is the latest version of Chirp won't allow me to input frequencies over 470 MHz. The radio transmits to 470 MHz and receives up to 520MHz. I need to use it to monitor public safety on 470-490 MHz as a receive only radio. I have no need or desire to transmit above 470 MHz. Can this be addressed somehow? Thanks Steve Black KB1CHU

[chirp_users] How to analyse the memory map for a new radio type?
by Dan Clemmensen 31 Dec '18

31 Dec '18

I am a new Ham, and I foolishly selected a radio that is not supported by CHIRP. (Yaesu FT-4XR). I wish to add support for it and its recent Yaesu siblings. I have successfully analysed the serial protocol and I can read and write the memory, but I don't know what to do next. Is there a HOWTO somewhere? If not, I can attempt to create one, but some guidance would be appreciated.

[chirp_users] Request CHIRP Wiki editing access?
by Dan Clemmensen 30 Dec '18

30 Dec '18

How can I request editing access to the Wiki, and what content is appropriate? I have figured out a way to use Linux's usbmon facility to analyse serial communications on a USB/serial programming cable, and I would like to document it, if the Wiki is an appropriate venue.

[chirp_users] Mobile/web GUI?
by Dan Clemmensen 30 Dec '18

30 Dec '18

I wish to run CHIRP on a Raspberry Pi Zero W in the field, where I may not have a laptop. I wish to connect to the Pi from a smartphone via WiFi and run CHIRP in a web page. Clearly, I could do this using VNC, but the CHIRP UI appears to be oriented toward a real screen of at least 1024x768 or so. SO: is there a UI that will fit better on a smartphone screen? Another alternative might be to run CHIRP on Android and connect a programming cable to the smartphone's USB port, but my Android skills are weak. I will have the Pi in the field anyway, since it will be running Direwolf. Incidentally, CHIRP is really impressive, and it appears to just work when I run it on my Gentoo desktop.

Reading the manual only tells me that these things need to be done, but without someone making a video or manual that is like describing the radio over the phone, or on paper with only text, there is no way for me to know which controls do what. Youtube videos say things like this button or that dial, and the manual have graphics depicting which symbol to look for. I have fiddled around with it, but to no avail. So I'm wondering if there is something in the settings which will assign each side to it's bands. Thanks for any assistance. Glenn Sent From My Tabletop

[chirp_users] Unable to communicate with Kenwood TH-G71 using quality USB cable and CHIRP 20181214
by Mark Howie 27 Dec '18

27 Dec '18

Hi All I am having difficulties getting CHIRP 20181214 to communicate with *a couple* of Kenwood TH-G71 hand-helds. I am using a brand new BlueMax49ers supplied (FTDI) USB cable. When connected to my Windows 7 Professional (64 bit machine) the driver seems to install fine. (No negative messages etc.) However when I try to use CHIRP (version 20181214) to download from *a couple* of Kenwood TH-G71 hand-helds nothing happens. (no indications of download progress after over 10 minutes waiting). I believe I read somewhere in the CHIRP documentation that there is *no need* to put Kenwood radios into 'clone' or similar mode. I have also tried the same cable on another computer (also with the latest version of CHIRP) and also with 64 bit Windows 7 (Ultimate). I've tried running CHIRP both as a User and as the Administrator. but get the *same result* regardless. Can you please help me to figure out what may be the issue? Thanks in advance Mark Howie ZL1UMK
