[chirp_users] Steps To reset the TYT TH-9800
by Glenn At Home 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

Hi, Before I re-upload my CSV file, that I edited with Open Office, I was wondering if anyone can send me the button steps to reset the radio to its defaults. I had read some reference to this in the manual, but of course it really did not indicate literally which button for the function key, and how many presses. With my poking around, and not knowing the buttons, I may have set some things in a way that I don't want. For example, it seems that all my channels are on the left, and I want them split, I don't know if the radio will do this automatically after I upload my CSV file, but at least I'll be starting with a clean slate. Thanks. Glenn Sent From My Tabletop

[chirp_users] more trouble with CSV file
by Glenn At Home 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

Hi All, Maybe someone can figure out what I did wrong in my CSV file. It was working, and I added a 10 meter repeater and two 6 meter repeaters and a 1.25 meter repeater. It says error on line 169, but it always seems to reference the last line. The lines in question would be between the left most numbers of 127 and 140. The repeaters on repeater.com only gave one tone, and I put in the others, the 6 & 10 m, just to keep the fields full. The one that was given was the 1.25 m repeater, I'll list that one below: 224.7600 -1.6 MHz 146.2 Omaha Thanks for any help. Sent From My Tabletop

[chirp_users] HELP with Yaesu FT-70DR issue writing banks to radio
by Robert Matos 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

I posted a question to the list a while back but didn’t get any responses (content below). Should I submit a bug request? The FAQ didn’t offer anything that could help and I don’t see anything in the documentation related to my radio about whether the bank support is in place so not sure if it’s a user error at this point. “ I am having trouble getting my bank selections to upload to the radio. My frequency memory entries and other settings carry over just fine, however the radio says “No Banks” even though I have entered memory positions into one or more banks in Chirp. This is using CHIRP daily-20190104 on Mac OSX." Best, Rob --------------- Rob Matos 617.302.7593 rfm8os(a)gmail.com

[chirp_users] CHIRP issue to "download from Radio"
by Christophe 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Hi there! Sorry to disturb you with a newbie's problem but FAQ doesn't help me at all, so I have first raise a BUG (#6379) on CHIRP website, but perhaps this is not the best option... I'm French, and I recently purchase an Baofeng UV-5R on aliexpress, and would like to use CHIRP to modify options, name and frequency of channels.After some difficulties with the cable's driver (with WINDOWS 7), this is now CHIRP that don't want to download the image from my !Even if I put the correct PORT, Vendor (Baofeng) and Model (UV-5R) result is always: "Incorrect 'Model' selected" (But I have an UV-5R!) I have check some parameters on the Radio if it could help:(Power+3) BF4816N(Power+6) 181016N / B5R0001 CHIRP version is the last one: chirp-daily-20190112 Could you help me understand what is the issue? USB Cables is working with the original Boafeng software (but CHIRP seems to be a best option to edit). Thank you very much for help. Christophe

[chirp_users] How do I get extended error report from CHIRP?
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

How do I get extended debugging info from CHIRP. I finally was able to test my USB cable. My cable is fine. My Wouxun KG-UV8E works fine on Wouxun's Windows software, but does not work on CHIRP, either on Windows 10 or Arch Linux. I went back to the January 2018 daily build of CHIRP and used the module that is for the UV8D Plus kguv8dplus.py and it doesn't work. How can I help with this? Regards, David N1EA

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.

Re: [chirp_users] Possibly Bad USB to radio cable
by Dave B 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

Odd. Chirp works very well indeed on Linux, plus even the dodgy/fake USB<>Serial cables all work without issue or needing to install drivers. (But for how long...) Also, LibreOffice has an excellent spreadsheet that handles Chirp's .csv files very well indeed. There are other unrelated non-ham issues, but for running Chirp, it works very well. 73. Dave G0WBX.

[chirp_users] Disregard Last Question about Name vs Frequency Display in BaoFeng UV-5R!
by Pat Anderson 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

My friend Google disclosed that Jim Unroe had answered my question about display of frequency rather than name "a few years ago! It is a setting on the radio! It would be NICE however if CHIRP could program the display mode! "This isn't an issue with CHIRP. You have to set the Menu Display Format to "names" to enable them. Settings > Basic Settings -> Display Mode (A) -or Display Mode (B) from within CHIRP Menu 21 (MDF-A) and menu 22 (MDF-B) from the radio's keypad."
