1--After installing Build 20130208 on my Baofeng UV-5RA I get an error while Uploading to the radio from Chirp, that Radio did not respond. I checked for good cable connections, Com Port, all to no avail. Uploading previous Builds were no problem, this is 1st problem I've experienced. 2--Also, when a new Build is issued, an *.asc attachment is included. What is it and I'm unable to open it. What program can open it? 3--How are Bugs reported, I'm newbie to this list so please excuse me. Thanks, Bill

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

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-20130208 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #158 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix improper mem.extra setting names This is confusing but the "name" of a setting is actuall the identifier, and the "shortname" is actually the descriptive human-readable name. Bug #513 was filed because it appeared that the memory detail editor had this reversed, but in fact, it was just reversed in some of the implementations. This corrects the implementations. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add RX DTCS code to memory detail editor Fixes #511 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix long-standing model-inspecific issue with the memory detail editor and setting DTCS code Fixes #507 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add Yaesu FT-1802M test image Related to #503 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Add rf.can_odd_split to models that support 'split' duplex. #505 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] [tests] Check that can_odd_split is defined when 'split' is a supported duplex. #505 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] [ft1802] Small fixes to pass all tests. #503 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [uv5r] add busy channel lockout settings - take 2 #501

[chirp_users] Chirp LiveCD
by B Giff 06 Feb '13

06 Feb '13

I just returned from a business trip where cell phone access was minimal and internet access was completely non-existent (so no, I didn't fall off the edge of the world). I am in the process of uploading a new version of the Chirp LiveCD. It should be available around 0200 GMT. sourceforge.net/projects/chirplivecd/ The only change is that it contains the 4Feb2013 daily. If you are using the previous version on a USB drive or through a virtual machine and have updated using the Chirp updater, then you are already up to date with this release. Bob

[chirp_users] UV5R
by Harvey Iri 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Hello I am having a small issue I tries to program my UV5R with the frequencies of my job and I cannot transmit on them, all it does is receive my co-workers, but no transmit. On my repeaters it works fine. the frequencies in question are in the 161 MHZ and 162 MHZ range. I used the Baofeng Software, and did not work. So then I used the Chirp and was able to put it on the radio but again no transmit. Version on my radio is the older version. If there is any other software I can use to unlock those 2 frequencies let me know, if you have any questions for more information just email me. Thanks, Harvey.

I think I can get that done now. I don't have them all loaded yet, I am not used to the interface, but I think I can figure it out. Problem Is, I don't have the right channels with the correct numbers. I will eventually figure it out. Marine and GMRS frequencies are provided as stock configs under the File menu.

[chirp_users] Success!
by greg combs 04 Feb '13

Dan, I bought a CAT/USB cord thru e-Bay, installed the driver, hooked it up, booted CHIRP, followed your instructions, finagled a bit, and VOILA! There was the entire memory of my '817(ND) in front of my eyes. By finagling I mean that I had to work with the "A" and "C" buttons on the radio to get the right sequence, but I managed to both download and upload the memory info. The 50 meter channel change went smoothly, and I dived into the VHF/UHF part to clean it up and add new entries. Boy, what fun! This is the first time in 53 years of hamming that I have actually hooked a computer to a radio--and it worked! 73, Greg, K7ZX
