Yaesu FT-8900 will download to CHIRP, but will not upload. I get "an error has occurred radio did not ack block at (various numbers, e.g., 520, 584, 9854)" Please help me find a solution to using Chirp to program the FT-8900 that my wife worked extra hours to give me for HER birthday. HRO wants another $40 for programming software. Please help. KD0RLZ@ yahoo.com

[chirp_users] USB LiveBoot ?
by Bruce LeGrande 06 Aug '16

06 Aug '16

Just looked at the LiveCD image file for Chirp and woah!, that seems MUCH larger than it needs to be... (600+Mb) I'm interested in setting up a bootable USB stick with an autorun Chirp session for programming my Baofeng UV-82HP. I'm getting the 'Unsupported firmware version: "N82-33 US2S35 /Uffffffff/Uffffffff" with Chirp v0.4.0 The hardware is an ACER AspireOne NetBook (AMD64). It would seem that this project SHOULD fit on a 1-Gb USB Stick with plenty of room to spare to store radio programming data. Anyone have an ISO for this... I'm getting Puppy Linux and DSLinux Live boot ISO's right now in case I have to use an IMG burn file of Chirp. PuppyLinux ISO is only 225Mb, and I think DamnSmallLinux is even smaller. And on a second note... Is anyone working on an Android App port of Chirp ? Sure would be nice to prgm the radios with a SmartPhone or Tablet... Of course, that would require a cable with a MicroUSB connector. 73 4 now Bruce Sent from BlueMail

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV6S83
by Marcus van Dam 06 Aug '16

06 Aug '16

Hi, I recently bought a Baofeng UV-6 at the 409shop, which I all exited hooked up and figured out that it gave the dreaded 'Radio did not respond' and 'Refused to clone' messages. After some digging and comparing to the Baofeng windows tool (UV6UV7_CPS) I found the following; When you try to read the radio with Chirp, the magic is send (50 bb ff 20 12 08 23 00), the ACK is received, 0x02 is send, and from here, Chirp seems to expect 8 bytes of data as ident (ident = serial.read(8)), but looking at the serial traffic of the BF software, the radio sends 12 bytes (AA 01 01 36 01 74 01 04 00 05 20 DD). As Chirp only read 8, the next write and read will not return the expected results and the clone fails. I tried to increase that initial ident read size in Chirp to 12 bytes (ident = serial.read(12)), which got me to the "Incorrect 'Model' selected" error, saying in the debug, that the model is actually ' Ver UV6S83 '. In a desperate attempt I added "UV6S83" to the array "BASETYPE_UV6", which allowed Chirp to read the data, but in the end it could not make sense of the content. This is where my debug skills ended and I hope your expertise comes in. I have attached a couple of captures to this email; UV6S83-CHIRP_8bytes-ident.txt = Chirp, all default trying to read the UV-6 UV6S83-CHIRP_12bytes-ident.txt = Chirp, modified the ident length and added the basetype as an UV-6 UV6S83-UV6UV7.txt = Original Baofeng software doing a full dump. The modified Chirp dump contains an interesting snippet in the first memory block: BAOFENG UV-5R .. Ver UV6S83 Would the have build a Frankenstein device? Let me know if there is anything I can do to help debugging. // Marcus

[chirp_users] UV-82, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, can't connect...
by David McGuire 06 Aug '16

06 Aug '16

Hello. I need some help with getting my UV-82 to talk with my laptop. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Chirp. It had been working prior to the upgrade to 16.04. Don't know what happened. Here is the message I receive: Failed to communicate with radio: 'Serial' object has no attribute 'setTimeout'. Here are my settings for the radio: - Port: /dev/ttyUSB0 - Vendor: Baofeng - Model: UV-82 I am using a genuine Baofeng USB cable. This was working very nicely, so I am sure it is a setting someplace. Any help is appreciated. 73 de David AE4LH

[chirp_users] Is there a radio programming for dummies?
by David Kimball 01 Aug '16

01 Aug '16

So, Very very new and was trying to program a new Baofebg GT-5TP. Found a radio in the drop down that appears to work on this model, UV-82HP. How do you remove a entry from the loc. I want to delete the information on an entry. If I type 0.000 I get an error message. A blank also gives the same error. Dave
