[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV8G
by Peter Lundberg 20 Oct '22

20 Oct '22

Hi, I am looking for Chirp support for Wouxun KG-UV8G. Does not appear to be supported now by Chirp? Ham-shop says that Chirp may ’wreck’ the unit, due to lack of appropriate checksums. Requiring out-of-warranty service. 73, Peter Sent from my iPad To a poet nothing can be useless. [SJ]

[chirp_users] Yaesu FVS-1
by K0LNY_Glenn 20 Oct '22

20 Oct '22

Hi, I'm writing this on this list because I'm sure there are folks here who have been inside all the Chirp supported radios. Yaesu makes a voice chip for the visually impaired, and I think the FVS-1 voice chip will work in the 8900. If this is the case, I'm wondering if anyone believes the Yaesu 8900 clone, Tytera 9800 would accept this chip? Or is the clone aspect of the two radios too superficial for this to be a possibility? Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Alinco DJ-X11 Receiver
by charleswkelly＠gmail.com 19 Oct '22

Hi all, Has this handheld receiver ever been considered for programming by CHIRP? Alinco does provide rudimentary software, but it's awful, and programming by hand is torturous. I have a current unit, and the ERW-8 USB programming cable that I could loan to a developer. 73, Chuck Kelly W9MDO Noblesville, IN USA

[chirp_users] gmail & chirp.exe
by Gary or Coleen Ferguson 12 Oct '22

FWIW #1, I'm being forced to change the file type to do an attachment of a CHIRP file to a gmail email. The CHIRP file extension is *.img; I can rename it to have a *.txt file name and then gmail will allow it to be attached to an email. FWIW #2 when I tried to save a CHIRP file yesterday Win10 would not allow it to be saved.. I had to add CHIRP.exe to the controlled access list of programs in Settings/Update&Security/Controlled File Access. Maybe others are fortunate and do not have these issues. thanks, W5TAO
