[chirp_users] Trying to upload to BaoFeng radio
by Dr. Whit Woodard 04 Sep '15

04 Sep '15

I haven’t used my Chirp app in over a year and I am trying to add a repeater to my BaoFeng BF-F8 channels. I was able to open the .img file and make the addition, but I am unable to either download or upload from or to the radio. My Chirp app says it’s 0.4.0 Do I need to upgrade Chirp? If so where and how? Or do I need to look for something else? Thanks, Whit

[chirp_users] Yaesu VX6 won't communicate with Chirp (Robert Zamalin)
by Stanley Klakamp 04 Sep '15

Is the plug your using that goes into the radio a screw in type? The VX6 uses a screw in type plug for the microphone / headset. The part of the body of the plug that is closest to the pin has threads on it. It's designed that way to help with the waterproof nature of the VX6. When I tried to plug in my generic plug (without the threads on the body) it would not go in far enough to make contact and would not communicate with the radio. I trimmed the plastic on the body of the plug next to the pin of the plug with wire cutters to make it smaller. It still was not small enough to just push the plug in, but I could then screw it in far enough until it made contact. Then the computer would communicate with the radio and I could use Chirp after that. Possibly that's what's going on with yours??? 73 Stan K8LL NW Ohio, USA 10-10# 76801 FP# 3255 Propagation is our master . . . but sometimes the master is cruel!

[chirp_users] Icom IC-A24

I have been using Chirp for years with amateru radio HTs I have a new Icom IC-A24 which is an air band AM HT to carry as a backup in the cockpit should the radio or power fail and before startup. Is there any risk using the 3.5mm TRS tip used for Icom amateur HTs? Has anyone known of Chirp being used with Icom air band radios? I am thinking that sending the dump command should not brick a radio but it was purchased used and therefore has no warranty.

Good Morning All: I am using a Yaesu VX6, iMac 21.5 and OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. and a cable from KawaMall. When I am attempting to download the contents from the my Yaesu VX6 into CHIRP while in the clone function ,I get an error message saying “an error has occurred” failed to communicate with the radio-no response from radio. What further steps should I take to correct this. Thanks for your time 73 Bob Zamalin, WA6VIP

[chirp_users] Icom IC-A24
by david jensen 31 Aug '15

I have been using chirp for years on my amateur band UV-3Rs but now I have received an Icom IC-A24 air band nav/com HT to replace my old air HT It looks like I will need a new USB-serial-3.5mm cable with TRS rather than TRRS perhaps a different pinout, ebay has them cheap The question is, can I even use chirp to program and clone the radio or does it use a different format than the amateur radios? Is there any risk trying to dump with chirp and the correct cable or do I need to run the official Icom software with WIne or virtualbox in Ubuntu?

Chirp 0.4.1 doesn't seem to recognize this radio. Is there a new build for Mac OS 10.10.5 for this? Sent from my iPhone
