[chirp_users] Copy Paste Function
by J Brown 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

Am I wrong or is there a copy & paste function? Also, when I downloaded my original load to the chirp software the PL tones that I used in the other software transferred over fine, but when I add frequencies using the chirp software for my UV5RC, I input the PL tones, but after I hit OK, they go back to the default. How to fix this? Judith Brown KS1ANG

[chirp_users] CHIRP field value doc
by Dave Gomberg 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

I am a bit confused. I think I have set all my channels to send a PL tone and to squelch unless the same tone is received. Some radios call these CT and RT. My CHIRP settings are: Tone Mode is Tone for all (except a couple of simplex channels), Tone and Tone SQL are set, Cross Mode is Tone->Tone I need a bit of doc for these fields. Here are some of my guesses: Tone Mode: Tone means CT+RT, None means neither, TSQL means RT, DTCS means digital squelch(?), Cross means ???? Tone is CT frequency, ToneSQL is RT frequency. Cross Mode is ????? Is this all written down somewhere in the Wiki??? Please help. -- Dave Gomberg, San Francisco NE5EE Programming since 1961 All addresses, phones, etc. at http://www.wcf.com/ham/info.html -----------------------------------------------------------------

[chirp_users] CHIRP field value doc
by Dave Gomberg 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Now I am more confused. What do those fields mean? And what do the values mean? I understand your suggestions that maybe I don't want RT on. That is what I am trying to change. But to do that I need to know the meanings of the fields and their values. That is why I asked for help. And why I am asking again. Where are the fields and their values documented? Please help. -- Dave Gomberg, San Francisco NE5EE Programming since 1961 All addresses, phones, etc. at http://www.wcf.com/ham/info.html -----------------------------------------------------------------

Alan; I, too, had your problem until I figured out I was setting the squelch to low. I find that a setting of 5 works most of the time.

Re: [chirp_users] New Baofeng UV-5R, won't talk to my computer
by Brian Hosken 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

Finally figured it out...the USB plus for the programming cable is "iffy", and must be pulled out slightly to make reliable contact. Now I'm good to go. I ordered a new UV-5R and it came with a USB cable included from Ebay.? Loaded the Windows XP driver 2025, under device manager it says it's working properly.? However, it will not read the radio.? Using either the Baofeng software OR CHIRP, when I try to read, it sits there saying it is reading the radio, but will not do anything else.? I've confirmed the port number, made sure the plug is in all the way, etc.etc.? It never says comm with radio failed, it just sits there sayign it's reading /clonign the radio and never comes out of that.? ANy help? >

[chirp_users] KG-UV6D Freq Ranges (read only)
by GaryErrol 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

I just installed the 20121013 daily build, read my Wouxun KG-UV6D and note that you have under Settings 'Freq ranges (read only)'. Is this something that at a later date we'll be able to use to modify a radio's frequency range? N9PTC

[chirp_users] using chirp with split freqs on UV-5R
by Todd Bloomingdale 14 Oct '12

14 Oct '12

Hello Gang. I have a question. When I put split frequencies into chirp for public safety frequencies and send it to my radio it seems to upload fine. But when I download from radio back to chirp at a later time the duplex and offsets change to + or - in that column and offset changes also. the duplex and offset change automatically. Is this normal. I am using the latest daily update of chirp. Thanks alot, Todd KC9LOX

[chirp_users] Chirp making life easier...
by Chuck Hast 14 Oct '12

14 Oct '12

Folks, I moved from Tampa, FL to Kalama, WA, Chirp has made setting up my radios a WHOLE lot easier. I have sort of sat and watched all the goings on. With the move I had to load a whole lot of new frequencies into the radios, Chirp really took care of that issue. Now I have a question, perhaps this will generate rocks and rotten fruit tossed my way, but I have been playing with a Samsung S2 Tablet 10.1. I got the USB interface dongle, and plugged a USB serial port in it, did a: ls /dev |grep ttyUSB0 and sure enough there it was, I plugged a second one into a USB 4 port device and saw ttyUSB01 appear, so the device recognizes and loads the proper drivers. Now I will fire up screen and try to talk to my old Kenwood TM-D700 sending it some manual com- mands to see if I get a reply, on my Linux boxes it talks like a parrot, so it should be a easy test. The question is has anyone tried to port Chirp to Android? These nice big tablets sure make nice screens for the vehicle and the cheaper ones do not cost that much. Of course the next step is a screen for direct entry of the front panel and a real nice proper presentation of a control panel on a touch screen. I am not a programmer, but I can test code, now that I no longer am doing field service (I am fixed here in the glass container plant in Kalama, WA) I have a bit more time to test out code. So if anyone wants to try it, I am willing to do testing, I have the old Kenwood and I also have a Icom 92AD. It was the 92AD that brought me to Chirp. And here I am quite happy with it. Keep up the good work folks.
