[chirp_users] some 10 meter memories not working
by K0LNY 24 May '23

24 May '23

Hi All, I have a Tytera 9800, which is a clone of a Yaesu 8900. I set up some memories that I put in with Chirp, from a CSV file, and only one of the memories below seems to work. When I key up on the others, it makes a sound like it is breaking the squelch, if I turn up the squelch, it beeps when I key up on all of the below channels, other than #198 in the below list. #198 is for a 10 meter repeater I am hoping to get into at some point. But can anyone suggest why the other below memories aren't working? Thanks.

[chirp_users] slow to populate
by K0LNY 24 May '23

24 May '23

Howdy All, I opened an edited CSV file, which originally came from Chirp. This is on a Tytera 9800. Using windows 10. So I downloaded from the radio, selected all memories and deleted them, and then opened an old Chirp CSV file, and I made some edits to it. It has around 227 channels in it. But it is really slow to populate the fields, and I can't get to the settings tab while it's working on the memories. Upload isn't available yet. It's been almost a half hour. Does this mean there is something amiss with my CSV file? I get no errors. I'm using chirp-next-20230515-installer.exe Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Yaesu FTM6000 support - not yet. Perhaps I can help?
by Stephen Hersey 23 May '23

23 May '23

I've used Chirp for my HTs now for many years (thanks, developers!), and recently bought a Yaesu FTM6000 dual-band mobile. Its primary deficiency from my point of view is that it isn't supported by Chirp, for which reason I bought a third-party programming program and serial cable made by RT Systems. I'm not a fan of their business model of "Spend another $60 for a different (but actually near-identical) programming utility for every one of your different radios," so I view this as a one-time thing, and a way to give back by achieving Chirp support for this model. I would be delighted to use this equipment and my embedded hardware/software development skills to bring about Chirp support for this radio, but I would need some help from someone familiar with Chirp internals. In particular, my Python skills are rudimentary; I can write Python, but it's not my best language. Implementing this support on my own seems rather daunting. Here's what I can do well: - Run test cases for reading/writing configurations from and to the radio with the third-party software - Intercept the serial data streams at either the USB driver level or the RS-232 serial link level (it's my understanding that this radio does indeed use RS-232 levels and async serial communications). Wireshark and logic analyzers are my friends! - Analyze the serial data streams for this radio and compare them to samples of known Yaesu programming protocols for other models (I believe they tend to re-use the same protocol for many models) - Compile and run test builds of a modified Chirp build from a Git repo and test them Here's what I would need help with: - Someone familiar with Python, the Chirp drivers, and ideally Yaesu's programming protocols, to work on the Python code to adapt an existing Chirp driver for the FTM6000. Is there someone on the list who would be interested in working with me on adding support for this radio to Chirp?

[chirp_users] Problems with Tenway UV 82 Pro
by David Osborne 21 May '23

21 May '23

Newbie here. I am trying to get some radios working for our VFD. It is a very small area, so we don't have a lot of money for radios. I have all the frequencies from a neighboring VFD. Their radios are kenwood TK-5220. My problem is that the RX and TX are different frequencies. I have used the split to put in the TX frequency. After sending to the Tenway UV 82 Pro, I can receive voice, but I can not send voice. The Kenwood file shows a QT/DQT Dec and a QT/DQT Enc value. I do not know where to put this info. in the chirp software. Thanks for any help you can provide. -- **David** <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free.www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

[chirp_users] Tone Column
by K0LNY 20 May '23

20 May '23

Hi, I am working on fixing a couple fields in my CSV file for the Tytera 9800, and I noticed only about half of the cells under "tone" has the word tone in it, the rest are blank. Should I put the word tone in all of them? Will Chirp error if some are missing? And, on this, using Libre Office, is there a way to fill in missing cells with that value in all missing cells, using a keyboard, or would it be easier to fill down a blank column and paste it in over the column with the missing cell values? Thanks. Glenn
