[chirp_users] Anytone AT-778UV
by Raymond Lewis 10 Nov '18

10 Nov '18

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

[chirp_users] New MacBook Pro Issue
by Phillip C 09 Nov '18

09 Nov '18

I have used CHIRP in the past with an older MacBook with no issues. Now I have the MacBook Pro 2018 with USB-C. -I have the Apple supplied FTDI drive & no others. -Only bluetooth shows up in the connect menu -I also am using a new Baofeng. I used to have the UV-5R but now I’m using a BF-F9HP which I understand is supposed to be a UV-5R variant. Do I select UV-5R or BF-F8 in the menu? Can anyone provide a starting point? Best regards, Phillip

[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

[chirp_users] Programming Both sides w/ PL/DPL
by Richard Gaun 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Hey everyone, I have tried everything I can think of to put a DTCS on both sides of the radio, TX & RX and have had no luck. Could one of you folks zip me off the settings for that programming or send me in the right direction for them. Thanks!

[chirp_users] Tone squelch QYT KT-7900D
by Ton Machielsen 28 Oct '18

28 Oct '18

Hi all! New member of the list, new user of Chirp and new user of the QYT KT-7900D. Before i received my KT-7900D i read "somewhere" on the internet that a user of this radio had the issue that he can only hear what is happening on the air when he uses the Monitor. Scanning stops whenever there is a signal, but the squelch doesn't open. I thought it had something to do with the radio expecting a receive tone as well to get open the squelch, but i'm not sure what exactly he did to fix this. Was that on this list? I have the same issue. Ton.

[chirp_users] chirp on Chromebook
by Jerry 27 Oct '18

27 Oct '18

Ay of you running C Are any of you running chirp on a recent Chromebook?. All the searching I've done brings up results from a year or more ago. I'm assuming that installing some version of wine is still the way to go. Suggestions on how to proceed greatly appreciated. -- Jerry R W7JER

[chirp_users] KG-UV8D settings programming
by N7TZK 27 Oct '18

27 Oct '18

I recently acquired a KG-UV8D radio. It has v1.05 firmware. It seems to read the info on the "Settings" tab OK... but changes I make there don't stick. If I edit them, save the file, and then re-open the file, it has reverted to the previous settings. I haven't tested all of those settings, but that is true specifically for the Display Message and ANI code in Key Settings, as well the channel in the VFO x Settings. I have a KG-UV6D radio and I haven't run into this issue with it, so I presume this is specific to CHIRP's support for this particular model. When I first tried this, I was running the 20180614 release, but I installed the latest 20181018 release with same result. Ideas? Dave
