sometimes every day at other times it might be a week or more. they don't seem to have a set schedule. before I use CHIRP I check for any updates.

That is, given all the daily releases (i.e., alpha testing), is there ever a "looks pretty stable to me" release? What I've got now does what I need done (very well - good on ya!). OTOH, a new release might do something useful that I don't have in the release I use. But I prefer not to do alpha or beta testing if I can avoid it. So... how often does a stable release come out? 73 de KC3DOO Rick _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Jock at kc6iih(a)aol.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com

I have tried to copy and paste, the copy goes fine but the paste doesn't. Without importing a file there is no grid to paste to. What am I missing. Thanks, Joe - K5WAS

Doesn't really matter what's in the Yaesu but you have to download from it so that CHIRP understands its memory and settings layout. Once you have a tab with the Yaesu download data you can paste the data from the Baofeng into it. Then you can upload from the Yaesu tab to the Yaesu radio.

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-8900 Not Accepting File
by Deane Bouvier 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

The FT-8900 returns an error message that it doesn't ack block 0 when I try to write to it. That is after a successful read. The USB to serial device is operating properly and Chirp is pointed to the correct Com Port. OS is Windows 7. I have been successful before so this seems to be a new problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. N5DQ

[chirp_users] Introduction & Question
by Richard B. Emerson 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Hello - I'm new to 2m and just started groping my way into what I need to know. I've held a General ticket for a couple of years. However, my main interest is PACTOR comms via Winlink while aboard our sailboat (/MM or /C6A). We've been to the Bahamas few times; having Winlink to back up other options is great. I inherited a Baofeng UV-5RE Plus from a friend, sadly SK. At this point I'm able to program the radio, etc. My biggest concern is a way to organize the entries. That is, being NW of Philadelphia, I want the 2m repeaters for the counties/areas I'm most likely to be in. So far, so good. Repeater Book is my friend. But! Is there some way to tag a cluster of calls with at least the country name in some form? I guess I could add a two letter code to the back of each call, but if I'm missing a useful option...? 73 de KC3DOO Rick Emerson

My two cents. I use on my Baofeng HT this way: first three characters are the last digit in mhz followed by the khz digits and then the first 3 letters of the location. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab®4 -------- Original message -------- From: "Richard B. Emerson" <pavilion(a)pinefields.com> Date:08/08/2016 7:05 PM (GMT-04:00) To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Introduction & Question I guess being a newbie is showing, huh. I figured that seeing the call beats the location. OTOH, if I do make an initial call, it's my call (KC3DOO listening) or whoever I'm talking with, not the repeater's call. Hmmm... gotta think about that. At least CHIRP makes it much easier to enter settings. If ever there was a manual designed to confuse and obfuscate, the UV-5etc. manual is it. 73 de KC3DOO PS If anyone is interested in operating in the Bahamas, there's no reciprocity. The "license" application process isn't that hard. The woman who handles the applications very helpful. Drop me a note and I can fill in the details. I assume there are no repeaters, except maybe on New Providence (the island Nassau's on). Otherwise, it's operating simplex. _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to joe at np3ar(a)gmx.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com
