[chirp_users] After Upload Radio Shows Programmed Frequencies but not Alphanumeric Name
by Pat Anderson 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

New BaoFeng UV-5R purchased from Amazon. Latest chirp-daily. " Download from Radio" works fine. "Upload to Radio" appears to work fine, CHIRP shows cloning progress bar and light on radio flashes. But an alphanumeric name was entered in CHIRP for each memory channel. The radio displays the frequency instead of the name. I have another UV-5R that I don't have with (the reason I bought another one) and after uploading to radio it displays the name. Am I missing something? On the radio? In CHIRP? Thanks!

[chirp_users] TYT TH-9800 MANUAL DESCRIPTION
by Gary Craig 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

Glenn, I will try to help you out. I hope this email gets to you. I have had problems in the past trying to post here. No matter what i try they get rejected... You are correct on the knobs. On page 11 of the user manual there is a diagram of the "knobs" and "keys" which is what they call the buttons. There are numbers with lines pointing to the knobs, and then also to groups of the keys. There is a chart starting under the diagram that continues on page 12 and then on page 13. This describes the knobs and keys and their function. In the diagram the group numbering starts at the top left knob with "1" then goes counter clockwise to the lower left knob as "2" then the first four keys/buttons at bottom left are "3". The bottom center button which is slightly taller than the others is "4", then the four buttons to the bottom right are "5". "6" is the bottom right knob, then up to the top right knob "7". The vertical keys beside the knobs on the left and right are "8". The top left knob is "1" in the diagram and under the heading "NO." in the table/chart. Under heading "KEY" it is listed as "LEFT DIAL". Under the next heading "FUNCTION", there are four different functions listed numbered 1 thru 4. 1. Tuning dial for the "left" band. 2. Short press the knob to set the "left" band as the "Main" band. 3. Enable rapid tuning (in 1 MHz steps) when the "left" band is set to be the "Main" band in VFO mode. 4. Press and hold in this knob for 1/2 second to toggle the operating band on the left side as follows: 144 MHz -> 350 MHz -> 430 MHz -> 850 MHz -> 29 MHz -> 50 MHz... The bottom left knob is "2" in the diagram and "NO." heading. It is listed as "LEFT VOL/SQL" under the "KEY" heading. It has four listings under "FUNCTION" heading. 1. The outer VOL (Volume) control adjusts the "left" receiver speaker audio level. 2. Short press the knob to switch single receive mode "on" and "off". 3. Press and hold this knob for 1/2 second to switch the front panel keys LOCK feature "on" and "off". 4. The inner SQL (Squelch) control adjusts the "left" receiver background noise. Along the bottom of the radio face there are 4 keys in group 3 in the diagram and under the "NO." heading, designated LEFT, labeled from left to right as follows: "LOW", "V/M", "HM", & "SCN". Under the "KEY" heading the first key on bottom left is labeled LEFT [LOW]. In the chart/table it denotes the keys from the knobs by using brackets [ ] for just the key description as marked on the radio. It has 2 listings under the "FUNCTION" heading. 1. Short press the key to switch power output level of the "left" band (LOW, MID2, MID1, HIGH). 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to switch memory display mode between "Frequency" and "Channel Tag" when the "left" band is set to the Memory mode or Home Channel. Under the "KEY" heading the second key from the left on the bottom in group 3 is labeled "LEFT [V/M]". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to switch frequency control for the "left" band between the VFO and Memory mode. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to shift to the "Memory Tuning" feature when the "left" band is set to the Memory mode. Under the "KEY" heading the third key from the left on the bottom in group 3 is labeled "LEFT [HM]". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to recall a favorite "HOME" frequency memory. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to activate Priority Channel Scanning under VFO or MR mode. Under the "KEY" heading the fourth key from the left on the bottom in group 3 is labeled "LEFT [SCN]". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to activate the Scanner on the "left" band. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to set up the Scan Skip List or Preferential Scan List under MR mode. Now we are at group 4, the center key on the bottom. The symbol on the key itself is a small square. The key appears in the diagram to be slightly taller than the other keys. In the chart/table it is labeled "[SET]". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to enter the Menu mode. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to transfer the contents of the Main band VFO into a Memory system. Next are the 4 bottom right keys in group 5, starting with the one to the right of the center key, or fourth from the right. It is labeled RIGHT [LOW]. Underneath that label under "KEY" in parentheses is "(Default)". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to switch power output level of the "right" band (LOW, MID2, MID1, HIGH). 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to switch memory display mode between "Frequency" and "Channel Tag" when the "right" band is set to the Memory mode or Home Channel. NOTE: This same key has a second set of functions under (Key Mode 2). The only reference i could find for Key Mode 2 is in the menu programming under "#14 KEY.MOD". You can program those right keys for their (Default) use "KEY1", or for the second set of functions as "KEY2". I will list all the Default descriptions and functions first, then the secondary functions you can program last. The third key from the right in group 5 is labeled "RIGHT [V/M]". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to switch frequency control for the "right" band between the VFO and Memory mode. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to shift to the "Memory Tuning" feature when the "right" band is set to the Memory mode. The second key from the right in group 5 is labeled "RIGHT [HM]". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to recall a favorite "HOME" frequency memory. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to activate Priority Channel Scanning under VFO or MR mode. The first key next to the knob on bottom right in group 5 is labeled "RIGHT [SCN]". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to activate the Scanner on the "left" band. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to set up the Scan Skip List or Preferential Scan List under MR mode. Now i will list the 4 keys in group 5 in the same order but with their "Key Mode 2" labels and functions. Starting with the one to the right of the center key, or fourth from the right. It is labeled "RIGHT [MHz]". It has 2 functions listed. 1. Short press the key to allow tuning in 1 MHz steps on the "Main" band VFO. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to allow tuning in 10 MHz steps on the "Main" band VFO. The third key from the right in group 5 is labeled "RIGHT [RPT]". It has 2 functions listed. 1. Short press the key to change the frequency shift direction: RPT- (minus shift), RPT+ (plus shift), RPT OFF (simplex). 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to reverse TX and RX frequencies on the "Main" band during split-frequency operation. The second key from the right in group 5 is labeled "RIGHT [TONE]". It has 1 function listed. 1. Short press the key to change the Tone Squelch mode: ENC (CTCSS Encoder), ENC DEC (CTCSS Encoder & Decoder), or DCS operation. The first key next to the knob on bottom right in group 5 is labeled "RIGHT [SUB]". It has 1 function listed. 1. Short press the key to make the next key you press act on the "Sub band". (The "Main" icon will blink on the "Sub band"). Next is the bottom right knob group 6. It is labeled "RIGHT VOL/SQL". It has 3 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. The outer VOL (Volume) control adjusts the "right" receiver speaker audio level., 2. Press and hold this knob for 1/2 second to turn the radio "on" and "off". 3. The inner SQL (Squelch) control adjusts the "right" receiver background noise. The top right knob is group 7. It is labeled "RIGHT DIAL", and has four listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Tuning dial for the "right" band. 2. Short press the knob to set the right band as the "Main" band. 3. Enable rapid tuning (in 1 MHz steps) when the "right" band is set to be the Main band in VFO mode. 4. Press and hold in this knob for 1/2 second to toggle the operating band between 144 MHz and 430 MHz on the right side. Now we come to group 8, the 3 vertical buttons beside the left and right knobs. The three on the left starting at the top and going down are labeled "A", "B", and "C". The three on the right starting at the top are labeled "D", "E", and "F". These are called Hyper Memory Keys. They all have the same 2 functions. 1. Press and hold in one of these buttons for 2 seconds to store the current configuration of the radio into a special "Hyper" memory bank. 2. Short press the appropriate button to recall the desired "Hyper" memory. Hope this will help you. 73 KI5CCD Be blessed! May 2019 be our year of change & growth!

Use caution when following links or opening attachments as they could be malicious Well, it refers to using a button with a graphic that when converted to TXT does not make anything. So they refer to buttons that I have no way of knowing even their name. Also, if they did give the name, I would then need to have someone read where each button is, like for example There are four turn knobs. I figured out that the bottom one powers it on/off and the inner dial around it is the right side squelch. There is a left volume and squelch too. Above the volume and squelches on each side, are the tuning knobs. There are three vertical buttons between the knobs and display on each side, and there are nine buttons between the knobs. The fourth and ninth say scan on them. That is all I know.

The need to look close to the rows above. One of the differences would be that Mode would be AM. The best way to know how it should look is to program a memory in the radio and then export it to a CSV file. Then use that as a template for the rest.

I threw only a few minutes at this. I hope this is helpful. Th - 9800 I am hopeful that you have the text of the manual and can read the descriptions (1 through 8) keyed to the diagram. But it's in a table layout so the formatting may be too awkward. upper left knob is identified as [photo key 1] left dial tuning dial for the left band. the entire radio appears to be bilaterally symmetrical, with a left dial, left volume / squelch, and right dial at the top and right volume / squelch at the bottom. [photo keys 1, 2, 7, 6] The display is also split into left and right sections with comparable stuff displayed. Three vertical buttons on the left are labeled downward a b and c, with d e and f labeled downward on the similar three buttons to the right. All six refer to [photo key 8] [Photo key 8] calls these hyper memory Keys a through f Of the nine buttons across the bottom, the center is labeled with a dot [photo key 4]. And is named "set" on the page. it says this enters the menu mode or if you hold for half a second to transfer the contents of the Main band VFO into a memory. Buttons on each side of the set button are in two groups [photo key 3 on the left and 5 on the right] with Legends LOW, V/M, HM, SCN.[LOW] [V/M] [HM] [SCN] [.] [LOW] [V/M] [HM] [SCN] "LOW" changes power modes, cycling low, mid2, mid1, high. Long press on it changes display modes (you probably won't care)"V/M" short press to switch freq control between VFO & memory mode. Long press to shift into "memory tuning" feature"HM" recall a "home" freq. Long press to activate priority channel scanning"SCN" activate scanner. Long press to set up the "scan skip list or preferential scan list under MR mode" I'll try to reply if this just creates more questions Bob --

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-70DR issue writing banks to radio
by Robert Matos 14 Jan '19

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] Possibly Bad USB to radio cable
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 13 Jan '19

13 Jan '19

Hi, I have a Wouxun red colored cable, suddenly it no longer works. I have the Wouxun Windows programming software: Doesn't communicate with radio. CHIRP on Win10 and Arch Linux: Same problem, radio doesn't respond. It used to work, now suddenly it doesn't work! Is there some way I can check the USB to double jack (1/8 (3.5mm) and 3/32 inch (2.5mm). I have a club member with the same cable, but it's been 20 days since he was going to come over to test my cable by substitution. It's either my transceiver or my cable! Only have one hand held that takes this cable! I only have a 100 MHz dual trace 'scope and a nice RadioShack 22-812 DMM to test with. So I could capture slower pulses. Probably won't be a good test like substitution of working cable. I know it's a fairly dumb question but you never know until you ask! 73 David N1EA

This was originally from my Baofeng, and I put in the 40 CB frequencies that go from line 120 to line 160. But after importing this, and then downloading it again from the radio, only lines up to 15 are in the radio. Glenn Sent From My Tabletop

[chirp_users] Problem with CHIRP under Ubuntu Linux
by Pat Anderson 13 Jan '19

13 Jan '19

I have CHIRP installed on an Asus C302 Chromebook with Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) installed with crouton, I live in Washington State but am in Arizona for the winter, and just bought another BaoFeng UV-5R to use here ($24.99 on Amaqzon, how could I not). I had no programming cable, so I borrowed one from a friend here at the RV Park, it is a labelled "TYT." I also have a 2011 MacBook Pro with CHIRP installed which I have used successfully many times before. What is happening is that when I connect the BaoFeng via the cable (turned off), and go toe "Download from Radio," I can put "BaoFeng" and" UV-5R" in the dialog box from the dropdown lists but the in Port dialog, nothing shows up. Naturally, when I turn the radio on and press the button to download, it gives a "Device not found" error. There is a /dev/tty file that I have CHMODed to 777, and I tried typing "/dev/tty" in the box same error. The cable is pushed fully into the radio, so that is not the problem. When I connect to the MacBook, and do the same thing, the only device that shows up is the Bluetooth device. I have deduced it must be the cable. I have several programming cables back home that I know work - and they were cheap generic cables that would make Windows choke (fake Prolific chips). I don't want to buy a cable on Amazon or Cheapham without knowing whether it will work or not.I don't know if Linux cares about the chip. I don't think MacOS cares. What cable would you recommend, or what else could I try in Ubuntu if it is not the cable? Thanks! Pat Anderson KD7OAC

Compared to another person's Tyt TH-9800, my file has 0 in the offset for the CB channels and the other one has 0.6 I would think that should be 0. The other file has cToneFreq and dTcScodes filled in the CB channels, mine are blank. Glenn. Sent From My Tabletop

[chirp_users] CSV File
by Glenn At Home 12 Jan '19

12 Jan '19

Hi, I have uploaded my CSV file that I made up for my TYT TH-9800, using my Baofeng 5R and 9HP file, with a few additions for 11 meter. I get an error on line 160 when importing it, and I'm wondering if it isn't going into the radio, because when I scan, I can't pick up anything from my hand-held. Admittedly I don't yet know how to use the TYT, because I only know that the fourth button from the left reads scan and the furthest right button reads scan. Without the 11-meter channels I put in, the CSV file works in my Baofengs. Would anyone look at the CSV file and see if you might know why it isn't working? Thanks. Glenn Sent From My Tabletop
