Hi Phillip, Chris here. I don't know anything about Apples so I might be wrong... If you've only got Bluetooth in a Connect menu then doesn't that mean that no hardware (wired) ports are currently available for data Tx/Rx? Assuming that a USB connector is available for data Tx/Rx (and not just for charging) then it might need enabling via a setting before it will appear on the Connect menu. Alternatively, the Connect menu might be specific to Bluetooth only. Perhaps there is another menu for USB functions. 73, Chris ________________________________ From: chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> on behalf of chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Sent: 08 November 2018 20:00 To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: chirp_users Digest, Vol 119, Issue 4 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..."

Dennis, W9BOQ, was right, I typed in the wrong number for the Anytone that I am wanting to program. It is an AT-778UV, not what I posted the first time.73, Ray AA4EZ

[chirp_users] Communication Issues with new UV-5R EX
by Rich Freeman 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

I just purchased a UV-5R EX off of Amazon and am having trouble getting it to communicate with CHIRP. The same hardware/software config works just fine with my BF-F8HP. I get the problem whether I select Raddiodity/UV-5R EX or Baofeng/UV-5R. This is on linux, and I have the problem with the latest Mercurial commit as well as 20180906 and 20181018. I've also reproduced the problem on Windows, which also communicates just fine with the BF-F8HP just fine. I just unplug the one radio from the mic connection and plug in the other and it starts/stops working, so I'm pretty certain it isn't a driver/permissions/etc issue. This is with an FTDI-based USB cable. The radio reports its firmware version (when holding down 3) as BFS001. I couldn't tell you whether this is correct as it isn't communicating with CHIRP so I'm not getting more than that. I also tried fiddling with the baud settings on the serial device in linux and it didn't make any difference. Has anybody run into issues with newer radios? Is it possible there was a firmware change not handled by the software? I'm happy to debug or test patches/etc if helpful. The radio is just in factory config so I don't really care about losing any settings as long as it isn't bricked. -- Rich

This radio is a tri-band (136-174/240-260/400-520) that appears as a number of brands including Zastone CN8DR, Veasu UV-8DR. Is there an equivalent model supported by Chirp? Howard, Vk4BS

[chirp_users] Programming a Baofeng GT3
by Calum Abernethy 02 Nov '18

02 Nov '18

A few of questions on the above subject when using Chirp:- Can you confirm when setting the ctcss codes for transmit and receive you use the columns 'tone' and 'tonesql' ? I have tried to set these columns to 67.0 but when uploaded to the radio they get set to 118.8. How do I fix this? I am trying to set up my radios to to talk to a friends Motorola T80 using a PMR a channel with a ctcss sub code. The Motorola uses a step of 12.5 on ctcss against an average of 2.5 on the Baofeng. Is there any way to alter the step sequence on the Baofeng? Cheers Calum
