[chirp_users] TIDRadio H6 - Failing to download from radio first time
by chirp 23 Sep '22

23 Sep '22

Hello- Im trying to use chirp on my Mac. I Checked the USB Com port type on another persons windows box to see what it was and it reported a WCH360 (As I recall, or close to it). I went to the following website based on Someone elses post a couple days ago to get the driver for my Mac: https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php <https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php> I installed it and also updated to todays latest chirp distribution. Im getting the following in my debug.log file after failing to download from radio even though the debug log shows no error at the end which is kinda odd since python clearly failed. Has anyone else had success with this model? I tried setting it to several different Boafang models and it seemed to get further but then still fail. I wasnt sure if it was closely compatable or not but I thought Id give it a try. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Bob [2022-09-23 14:28:55,420] chirp.ui.clone - DEBUG: Chose <class 'chirp.drivers.ga510.RadioddityGA510Radio'> alias for <class 'chirp.ui.clone.DynamicRadioAlias'> because model TD-H6 selected [2022-09-23 14:28:55,422] chirp.ui.mainapp - DEBUG: User selected TIDRADIO TD-H6 on port /dev/cu.wchusbserial1450 [2022-09-23 14:28:55,427] chirp.ui.clone - DEBUG: Clone thread started [2022-09-23 14:28:55,932] chirp.drivers.ga510 - DEBUG: Ack was '' [2022-09-23 14:28:55,932] chirp.ui.reporting - DEBUG: Reporting exception [2022-09-23 14:28:55,932] chirp.ui.common - ERROR: -- Exception: -- [2022-09-23 14:28:55,932] chirp.ui.common - ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/private/var/folders/fh/gl15kxgx1gs0_7mtj9przy500000gn/T/AppTranslocation/FC2A0E30-8C2B-4CC9-BFCC-65B961248458/d/CHIRP 3.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 255, in run self.__radio.sync_in() File "/private/var/folders/fh/gl15kxgx1gs0_7mtj9przy500000gn/T/AppTranslocation/FC2A0E30-8C2B-4CC9-BFCC-65B961248458/d/CHIRP 3.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/drivers/ga510.py", line 243, in sync_in data = do_download(self) File "/private/var/folders/fh/gl15kxgx1gs0_7mtj9przy500000gn/T/AppTranslocation/FC2A0E30-8C2B-4CC9-BFCC-65B961248458/d/CHIRP 3.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/drivers/ga510.py", line 51, in do_download ident = start_program(radio) File "/private/var/folders/fh/gl15kxgx1gs0_7mtj9przy500000gn/T/AppTranslocation/FC2A0E30-8C2B-4CC9-BFCC-65B961248458/d/CHIRP 3.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/drivers/ga510.py", line 40, in start_program raise errors.RadioError('Radio did not respond to clone request') RadioError: Radio did not respond to clone request [2022-09-23 14:28:55,932] chirp.ui.common - ERROR: ---------------- [2022-09-23 14:28:55,932] chirp.ui.clone - ERROR: Clone failed: Radio did not respond to clone request [2022-09-23 14:28:55,934] chirp.ui.clone - DEBUG: Clone thread ended [2022-09-23 14:28:55,937] chirp.ui.reporting - DEBUG: Reporting model usage: TIDRADIO_TD-H6,download,True [2022-09-23 14:28:55,937] chirp.ui.reporting - DEBUG: Reporting exception [2022-09-23 14:28:55,938] chirp.ui.inputdialog - ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: Radio did not respond to clone request — [2022-09-23 14:28:55,938] chirp.ui.inputdialog - ERROR: None [2022-09-23 14:28:55,938] chirp.ui.inputdialog - ERROR: ----------------------------

[chirp_users] Programming the QYT KT-8900D
by Tom 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hello, I'm stuck! I am trying to program my KT-8900D with CHIRP, and I keep getting error messages, depending on which pc/laptop I use. All of these are running Windows 7. In each case I want to "Download from Radio." And I have hooked up the programming cable after turning the radio off. With my HP PC: After connecting the radio and turning it on, the 'cloning process' window comes up, then the the pc returns the message: "An error has occurred. Error reading data from radio." With my Lenovo Laptop: Same set up. Error message is "Bad ack from radio." With my Dell Laptop: Same setup. No matter which com port I specify, I get the error message: "could not open port (X): [Error 2] The system could not find the file specified." Any advice that can be offered will be greatly appreciated. BTW, all three of these computers worked fine with CHIRP earlier. I do not know what went wrong. Thanks, -73- Tom KX7TRW

I am trying to use a split frequency setup where I transmit at 174.000. I get an error that it is out of supported range. I changed the setting under other settings VHF upper limit to be aove 174 (175) and I still get the error. Any ideas?

[chirp_users] Import Export missing
by Julian Macassey 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

I am running Chirp 0.3.0 on Kubuntu 22.04.1 (Jammy Jellyfish) I have done all below: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CSV_HowTo A Clean Start If you want to get an empty CHIRP-compatible CSV file, the easiest way is to let CHIRP create one for you. Here are the approximate steps for creating an empty file, editing it in an external editor and opening it back up in CHIRP: Start CHIRP Go to File > New to create an empty CSV file Add a memory to the first row, by entering a frequency such as 146.52 Go to File > Export to save the template file to something ending with a .csv extension Open the file in your spreadsheet or external application of choice, make edits and save Re-open the file in CHIRP to validate that the format is still correct, by going to File > Open and choosing your file Optionally use File > Import to import the contents of your CSV file into another radio image -------- Under File: I do not have an option to Export or Import. This makes it hard to get my .csv file into Chirp and make it an .img Yours Julian Macassey -- "What I can't figure out is why he (Steve Jobs) is even trying (to be the CEO of Apple)?
