[chirp_users] Tyt 9800 Update
by Glenn At Home 22 Jan '19

22 Jan '19

Thanks All, I think I got it working. I tweaked the CSV file, at one point, Open Office took out all the values in the offset column, so I opened another file in Excel that was about the same, and I selected the column and copied it and switched over to the file in Open Office and pasted it in. Setting it to the defaults helped, because this time when I imported the file, I think, the VHF is on the left and the UHF is on the right. Not much UHF going on around here to be sure. I need to learn the buttons on the mic other than the number pad and I know the top switch locks some of the keys, including the two top ones. It's good to turn those off, as I find myself pressing keys on that thing just by holding it while punching a button. Anyway, thanks all for helping me get this far. Glenn Sent From My Tabletop

[chirp_users] UV-5R question
by Keith .Yordy 22 Jan '19

22 Jan '19

I have used Chirp to setup several UV-5R units and it works fantastic! However, I was trying to setup a UV-5R with the keypad. I see in Chirp there is a setting for Duplex, but this doesn't appear to show up anywhere in the UV-5R. I have compared 462.600 simplex and 462.600 duplex and see no differences in the keypad menu system. if I was to setup a duplex channel manually, I am assuming I would have to set the offsets, etc., even though they show no differences on the UV-5R. Is there another trick I am missing? KY

[chirp_users] KT7900D/QB25 driver for macOS 10.13 (Mojave)?
by Patty Winter 21 Jan '19

21 Jan '19

I was recently given a Radioddity QB25, which is also a QYT KT7900D. It came with a programming cable. I got CHIRP up and running on my MacBook Air, and followed the steps to turn off the radio, connect the cable, and turn the radio back on. But there is no USB port in the ports list in CHIRP, and when I try the default Bluetooth port, I get a message that the radio is not in clone mode. I suspect a driver issue. I tried to search the archives of this mailing list and found some information about macOS drivers for various cables (including some built-in Apple drivers), but didn't see anything specifically about the cable that's supplied by Radioddity. Their website only has Windows driver software. (They say the cable itself works with Windows 7 without a driver but you need a driver for Windows 10.) I tried the generic driver linked from the CHIRP MacOS Tips page, but that didn't work. (Was I supposed to have restarted the MacBook? I only quit and relaunched CHIRP.) There are other macOS drivers listed on that page, but without knowing what kind of cable/chip Radioddity supplies, I don't know which driver to look for. Does anyone here happen to know what's in the QB25 cable and which driver works with it? I could try contacting Radioddity, but they appear to know nothing about Macs and might not give me sufficient information. Thanks/73,Patty N6BIS

Jardy, Regarding the Duplex programming, my question was when using Chirp no observable changes can be seen in the Baofeng menu. I was just curious as to how that information is stored. To manually set up duplex, I assume your description of the procedure is correct.

Re: [chirp_users] Tyt 9800 Update working with CSV files
by Gary Craig 21 Jan '19

21 Jan '19

Glenn, Thanks for the heads up about open office. I have had issues with excel and open office working with csv files. Did a little research trying to find a good csv editor and ran across this article: How to open CSV files safely with Microsoft Excel SupportAbility exports a number of CSV (Comma Separated Value) data files that can be used by other applications for invoicing, NDIS payment requests and other purposes. THE PROBLEM It is quite common for SupportAbility users to open these exported CSV files using programs like Microsoft Excel to check their contents before importing the file into a third party application such as MYOB. However, when Microsoft Excel opens a CSV file, it attempts to interpret the data in that file and starts making changes to it. For example, if Excel sees something in the CSV file that it identifies as a date (often incorrectly), Excel will change the date format in the CSV file to suit the way that it prefers to dates to be formatted. Unfortunately, this generally has the unintended consequence of breaking the CSV file for the third party application that the CSV was specifically designed for. THE SOLUTION If you need to open a CSV file in Excel without breaking it, here's how to do it: 1. Open a new Excel sheet, select the Data tab, then click 'From Text' in the Get External Data group. 2. Browse to the CSV file and select 'Import'. 3. In step 1 of the Import Wizard choose 'Delimited' as the original data type. Click 'Next'. 4. In step 2 of the Import Wizard choose Comma as the delimiter (deselect the Tab check box) and click 'Next'. 5. In step 3 of the Import Wizard, you tell Excel not to change your formats. With the first column in the Data Preview selected, scroll across to the last column and select it while holding the SHIFT key (all columns should now be selected). Then select 'Text' as the Column Data Format and click 'Finish'. 6. Click OK to insert the data into cell A1 You should now have a spreadsheet with the imported data but without Excel breaking the formatting required for the intended third party application. Remember to export the file from Excel to CSV again before uploading to the third party application if you have made changes. https://help.supportability.com.au/article/250-how-to-open-csv-files-safely… I will try this out when i get a chance and see if it will solve my issues so i can get all my radios programmed correctly.
