[chirp_users] Baofeng HP9+ won't read
by K0LNY_Glenn 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Hi, I have a Baofeng HP 9+, and I'm using Chirp on an older Ubuntu live on a thumb drive, that I've booted to before and used to program the same radios. I was just able to first read and write to my UV 5R with the same cable that I'm trying to use on the 9+. I worked and worked on the connection, making sure it was tight into the radio. I reset the radio with menu 40 and #1, which is a full reset, it went to Chinese, and then I set it to English again, but it still won't read from the radio. Does anyone have any ideas why it won't read? I'm pretty sure the 9+ uses the same cable as the UV5R. Thanks for any suggestions. Glenn

[chirp_users] Programming A Baofeng For The ISS

Hi, I am planning on putting in the voice downlink and uplink for the International Space Station into my Baofeng. The downlink is in the 7Cm band and the uplink is in the 2 M band. Typically in Chirp I enter a normal offset, plus or minus. How do I do this in Chirp to cover such a difference in frequency? . Downlink 437.800MHz FM; Doppler +-10KHz . Uplink 145.990MHz FM with 67.0 Hz PL Thanks. Glenn

Typo? 'G' is just below 'T' on a US/UK keyboard. 73 Dave G0WBX(G8KBV) On 13/07/2022 20:00, chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com wrote: > Oh there also seems to be an unrecognized function named "pring" on line > 826 of the vx6.py driver tarball I downloaded had hg hash f681fdfb94dd in > the name. -- Created on and sent from a Unix like PC running and using free and open source software:

Either way Windows (and many Mac systems) will not use them. (Without compromising the security of your system by blocking automatic updates and then manually installing an earlier driver suite.) But Linux (even recent distro's) use them just fine, regardless. Had similar issues locally, with a group that uses dozens of Baofeng radios. All the interface leads used "hookey" chipsets. A Windows box and a Mac, both failed. My old Dell running Mint, "just worked"... Counterfeit IC's are rife in that part of the gadget after market. Take care.

Re:- - and the Mac is Linux based - I'm not a Mac user, but I am aware that their OS is BSD based, not Linux. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Software_Distribution Many of the command line tools are common as they are both "UNIX like". But there are some significant differences in the behaviour of some, and how they interact. As they say... The Devil is in the Detail. BSD is "more UNIX like" (I think is the phrase) than Linux. 73.

[chirp_users] vx-6r redux

All I've sent a couple emails with logs and more information but it looks like they both have been memory holed. After trying many different combinations between the two radios and image files and operating systems I was able to get the linux version of CHIRP 0.3.0dev on Debian 11 to program one of the vx-6rs and then clone to the other vx6-r from that HT. I don't really understand why windows with the latest version would not work or mac OS with the latest version would not work. But this old version on linux did. Thought I would see if this email can get in the mailing list archives in case anyone has the same issue: appearing to download with no error on the PC side but error showing up at end on LCD of the vx-6r.. Try version 0.3.0dev on debian 11. 73 -Nic

[chirp_users] VX-6r
by Nic Heath 09 Jul '22

Hello all I have two VX-6r radios and both of them exhibit the same behavior listed here: https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/5693 The radios seemingly receive all the way to the end and then display an error message on the radio LCD screen. CHIRP does not display any error messages. I do not see a log file in the CHIP program directory (I am using the stand alone zip version). Any pointers on how to diagnose this issue or get more data from CHIRP on if there is an issue being reported by the radio over serial would be helpful. Thanks -Nic

Any suggestions on how to get CHIRP software (or any other software) to connect to the Baofeng UV-5R5? I'm able to get UV-5R Plus & UV-5R to work with CHIRP but not the 5R5. Kevin.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 03 Jul '22

03 Jul '22

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-20220703 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #692 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [GMRS-V2] Service Settings Won't Save to BTECH GMRS-V2 The service settings weren't being uploaded when cloning to a BTECH GMRS-V2. This patch modifies the upload ranges to include the areas of memory where the service settings reside. fixes #9933 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Merge branch 'master' of github.com:kk7ds/chirp [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-5R] Add support for disabling timeout timer in some variants. Until recently, the typical TOT (timeout timer) menu of most Baofeng UV-5R/UV-82 like variants had a valid list of choices that went from 15 to 600 seconds in 15 second steps. The timeout timer could not be disabled. Some new variants, the eSYNiC UV-5R for example, adds OFF to this list, and when selected, allows the timeout timer to be disabled. This patch adds support for the additional OFF choice. fixes #9924 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-82HP] Add support for lower case channel names This patch adds the ability to use lower case letters when editing channel names/alpha tags of a Baofeng UV-82HP radio (and its variants). fixes #9910 [MELERIX <melerix(a)outlook.com>] Update es_ES.po (#24) * Update es_ES.po * Update es_ES.po
