When looking at your frequencies. There should be a line that says "Memory Range 1 to xx. change the xx to 128 and press the go button. ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Ed Danaher <ed.danaher(a)gmail.com> To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: [chirp_users] Problem reading UHF data from radio using a Mac Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2012 11:38:42 -0500 I am a new user of Chirp so I'm still learning my way around.

Gary, A full set of instructions for using UNetbootin is on the wiki page below the download link. http://sourceforge.net/p/chirplivecd/wiki/Home/ Short answer: Xubuntu 12.04_Live also, make sure you put a number larger than zero in the "Space used to preserve files across reboots (Ubuntu only)" box. Again, see the wiki. Bob ------------------------------------- I down loaded UNetbootin and installed on a micro SD card in an USB adapter. When I ran the program it asks me to Select Distribution and than gives me a list. Which one should I choose? My operating system is XP. GaryErrol

It is very reliable and free. Another thing you can do is 'burn' the image to a USB flash drive using UNetbootin (http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/). That's what I did.

It's an image of a CD, which means you need to burn it to the CD as an image, not just as a file on the CD. I'm sure googling "burn image to cd in windows" will turn up something useful. I imagine Windows 7 has a way to do this built-in. Both Linux and MacOS have had this point-and-click behavior integrated for years, without add-on software. -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users

Download the .exe version of the liveCD. Once downloaded, double click on the file. After a minute or so, a window will open. Click OK in that window, your CD tray will open and you will be prompted to insert a blank CD. Insert the blank CD, close the tray and click OK on the popup. It will burn the image to CD for you. Then simply reboot your computer to the CD. The exe version is fully self-contained. It requires no additional software to make it work. The iso version on the other hand does require additional software. So again, if you are a Windows user and in doubt, download the Chirp_liveCD_23Dec12_32bit.exe file. Bob

Yes Agreed. I have done exactly this on both Windows XP and Windows 7 and it works as Bob describes. If you doubleclick the exe and it does not open a CD burning utility then you've got a a bad file and should download it again. There's no need for any other CD burning program. Hugh, if you haven't followed Bob's procedure exactly you may just have a CD that is only good as a coaster. Please let us know how if you get everything sorted out.

[chirp_users] An early Christmas present for CHIRP users
by Dan Smith 25 Dec '12

25 Dec '12

Hi all, A CHIRP user has put together something very useful and made it available to the community. It is a "live CD" with CHIRP pre-installed. This concept is common in the Linux world, but if you're not familiar with it, here is a brief description: Users can download and burn the live CD image to a disc (or a USB stick), which makes the media bootable to a self-contained version of Linux, completely separate from your regular system. Linux supports almost every USB-to-serial adapter without fussing with a driver, which makes this a very easy way to program a radio with very little else (besides a programming cable). Booting this CD on relatively recent hardware is likely to be very easy, and will land you in a point-and-click environment with CHIRP already running for you. If you routinely program other people's radios, having this disc in your toolkit should mean that you can boot just about anyone's computer to an environment that will run CHIRP, saving you from having to figure out which driver their hardware needs and modifying their system. If you have trouble with drivers or other issues on your own system, this would give you a relatively simple way to run CHIRP outside of the rest of your system, and without making any changes to it. If you're interested in checking it out, go get it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/chirplivecd/ Be sure to thank Bob (who is on this list) for his hard work! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] Kenwood tm-v71a no longer responding
by Paul Harmor 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

Just recently got back into using Chirp for my radios, after a few months away. Soon as I installed the daily (5-7 days ago), I was THRILLED to find that it'd finally talk to my tm-v71a correctly. Just today, however, after having updated to the 2012-12-24, it fails to receive a response from radio, again, either via auto-detect or manual entry of tm-v71. As well, wondering why I've gotta' run it as root? It worx, but isn't optimal...
