[chirp_users] Puxing 777
by David Vaillette 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

Hi I have a Puxing 777 that Chirp will download from the radio, and upload to the radio. I cannot make any changes to existing frequencies, as Chirp give a message that the frequency is out of range. Can I actually use Chirp for my 777? What tweaks to I need to make? Thanks Dave Vaillette dvprint(a)gmail.com

[chirp_users] Jetstream 270M
by Eric Evans 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

I've never used CHIRP and I am very confused. I just purchased a JT270M and can read from radio to CHIRP, but not write CHIRP to the radio. Jetstream advised me that CHIRP and the 270M will not work with WIN 10. I will not get into the quality of support from them in this section. I do have a machine with WIN7 on it and I get the same issue. I did get the VV898 software to load the 270 M ( 1 test freq)but with errors (No ALPHA Tag). Jetstream suggested a different prolific driver, but as of yet, nothing has been offered to me from them to use. I am fair with computers, and I wish to determine the following: 1) Which OS to use 2) Which driver do I use for the prolific driver (USB w/chipset) 3) Any other suggestions that you may have. Thank you! -- EJ Evans KM4JVV

[chirp_users] TYT MD-380 / ICOM 51A Plus and Anniversary Edition
by IT1 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR 14 Oct '15

Dan, et alia: In RE: TYT / Tytera MD-380 -------------------------- Is there any plan or does this to be able to get this radio to be supported by chirp? In Re: ICOM ID-51A Plus or ICOM ID-51A Anniversary Edition ---------------------------------------------------------- (I am not asking about the regular ID-51) I am going to be purchasing soon the ID-51A Anniversary Edition or ID51-A Plus quite soon and already own an ID-5100 (I also own an ICOM IC-2820, ICOM W32A, Kenwood D700). What is the status of CHIRP relative to these radios and what cables are recommended to effectuate programming? I did look on the Wiki and FAQ and saw no reference to cables for ID-51A style radios. I own an OPC-478 (serial cable) - though would buy an OPC-478USB I also own an RT Systems cable for the 91AD also. I want to figure out what cables I need to program all the radios I have in the fewest collection of cables. :) Thanks in advance! 73, Stuart, N3GWG

[chirp_users] 70MHz channels
by Simon Rodda 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

I'm using a TYT 9800, which supports 66-80MHz, I think. I've been trying to set frequencies within this range, but CHIRP complains that they are out of supported range. I'm guessing that msg comes from CHIRP, not the radio, since it isn't connected at the time. Regards, SR

I have the baefeng BF-F8HP. I have downloaded the CHIRPS and i am trying to download from the radio but it is not reconizing the radio. Any ideas? I tried all the Baefeng radios listed. I did get a different error on the uv-3r i think it was, the last one on list that said it failed first step. All the others say radio did not respond. Anybody have any ideas.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20151013 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #364 [Alexey K <lepik.stv(a)gmail.com>] [patch modified] doesn't recognize multiple comm ports in Win 7 - issue #2783 Description of the problem in the MSDN: https://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/en-en/library/aa363858(v=vs.85).aspx "To specify a COM port number greater than 9, use the following syntax: "\\.\COM10". This syntax works for all port numbers and hardware that allows COM port numbers to be specified." But there is not quite right :) They write "\\.\COM10" it's not going to work. Correctly so: "\\\\.\\COM10" I tested on Win7x32, COM > 9. Work correctly. Added fixes to the drop-down list of ports. In the name of the port removing unnecessary characters for the user's convenience.

[chirp_users] Icom IC-R10
by Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF 12 Oct '15

I see there was a request for support for the Icom IC-R10 receiver a couple of years back but so far no progress. That would also be very useful to me. I have an R-10 for loan if it helps. de Nigel Gunn W8IFF

I'd Like to try back dating to 20151009 on the Ubuntu unit. can someone give me the terminal command line to back date chirp. or any other help would be appreciated. thanks, Nick
