[chirp_users] Wrong Kenwood radio, ID or unknown variant
by Gene Vincent 26 Oct '18

26 Oct '18

Kenwood 372G error using 6/17 driver. Another driver was created earlier this year, 5/18. That driver seemed to work when added as a temporary patch. I don't know if the new driver was completely verified by anyone. I also cannot find where the working one was ever made part of the daily build. Any help would be appreciated

Re: [chirp_users] Tone squelch QYT KT-7900D

FYI, I use several QYT qyt 7900D radios with chirp and have no issues with them. The scanning should not stop unless there is no tone required, or the correct tone is there, I would double check the sql level programmed and the other parms.

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.

[chirp_users] Channel Naming
by Dennis Wage 25 Oct '18

25 Oct '18

This is just a FYI from me. Most radios have a minimum of 6 character display for memory. Here is my naming convention. Digits 1 and 2 are the county. Digits 3 and 4 are the city. Digit 5 is U(hf) or V(hf) Digit 6 is Numeric 1-9 for instances of more multiple repeaters in a city. When you have multiple dozens of repeater channels this quickly helps you see which is which. Here are the first group of channels in my radio. DANAV1 DANAV2 DANAV3 DANAU1 DANAU2 DANAU3 DAPAU1 Dennis M.

[chirp_users] Great job!!

I just used Chiro for the first time with my Yaesu VX-170. After a few false starts, it took off and read the radio. I did a few tweeeks to the data and had to carefully read the info to get it to write back to the radio. Once all the right button were pressed it wrote my data back to the radio. I'll be sure to use chirp and will not be a novice too much longer. Thanks for a good program guys. Clayton K4QM

Re: [chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV3D

I programmed my kg-uv3d using chirp a couple years ago Current version Chirp does not list KG-UV3D, tried all listed under Wouxun but none worked. Is there a earlier chirp version that lists KG-UV3D?

[chirp_users] Export
by Christopher F. Beesley 23 Oct '18

Hi Dennis, That's pretty much what I do with the Puxing 888. Simplex and repeaters in two groups, RAYNET frequencies in a third. I did the same with a dual-band Baofung I owned at one time, lots of memories needed, plus more groups for CTCSS tones! I don't like it when other Chirp users ask why anyone wants to do it differently to the way they do it, thus suggesting that their way is the only way to save and retrieve data to and from a radio, and then not answering the question anyway! Its a long time since I did it, but my recollection is that for a CSV file any unused cells should, upon downloading from the radio, appear as just a single terminating comma, probably resulting in many long strings of commas. So new data can be entered in between the commas, but one would have to be sure they were the correct two commas. I'd be tempted to do it in Excel or similar, where the unused cells would appear as blank cells, all ready for the filling-up of by the enthusiastic radio amateur. The Excel data would have to be converted back to a CSV file before uploading to the radio. Hope this is of some use to somebody! If not it doesn't really matter, I wasn't doing anything else... Cheers all, Chris, Staffordshire, UK
