I noticed there was a request to add this radio that was posted about 4 years ago. I don't know if it is anybody's project but I have one with the Mr. Potatohead microphone that I will loan to whomever wants to build a driver for this radio to program in Chirp. Offer includes a programming cable. David Davis Oregon Sent using https://www.zoho.com/mail/

[chirp_users] Receiver Support
by K0LNY_Glenn 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

Hi, A friend has an iCom receiver, model R 75. I looked on the supported radios page and I read that there are 31 iCom radios supported. On line in finding a page on this radio, it reads that the R 75 can be programmed via the RS232 port in back. Does anyone here know if another model in the supported radios will work for this HF scanner? Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Seeking Testers for btech.py V2 Driver Update
by Jim Unroe 26 Apr '22

26 Apr '22

Hi Group, I have opened issue #9845 for the public testing of a new version of the btech.py driver module. This driver has been reworked in order to eliminate the slow speed download/upload times that have been an issue for some supported models and to make the cloning process more reliable. I am seeking volunteers to test this driver module in order to make sure it is compatible with the radio models that it currently supports (see list below) before submitting it to be included with CHIRP. If you have one or more of the radios listed below and wish to participate with the testing of this driver module, use the link below to access issue #9845 where additional details are provided. Note: You will have to register in order to be able to participate. https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/9845 Thank you in advance, Jim KC9HI BTech: UV-2501, UV-2501+220, UV-5001, UV-25X2, UV-25X4, UV-50X2, GMRS-50X1 Jetstream: JT2705M Juentai: JT-6188 Mini, JT-6188 Plus LUITON: LT-588UV OTGSTUFF: OTG Radio v1 QYT: KT-UV980, KT8900, KT8900R, KT7900D, KT8900D, KT5800, KT980PLUS, KT-8R Radioddity: QB25, DB25-G Sainsonic: GT-890 Surecom: S-KT8900D WACCOM: MINI-8900 Zastone: MP-300

[chirp_users] Setting up baofeng-uv5f with chirp
by anthony farley 20 Apr '22

20 Apr '22

Hello, so me and my neighbor just got the 2 way baofeng-uv5F radios and we got it to where we can call eachother on a specified channel he preset but i would like to add police frequencies as well. I got the cord, disc program for chirp and have the gist of it down 'i think' lol. Is there anyway i can make a csv file from the frquencies channels i find on the website? Or should i import or query from data source of repeaterbook and is politcial or proximity search better for finding all the channels? Also what settings do i need to set my radio to for picking up frequencies? Theres just so many options for each channel/ frequency i pick im just not sure what to do or if theres an easier way to import a csv file of all the frequencies/channels from that site to something like excel and transferring it to chirp? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance! Anthony Show quoted text

[chirp_users] File Saving on MacOS
by Lynn 20 Apr '22

I’m not able to save files with Chirp. It does not have access to any folders. I have granted it full disk access, but it still does not have access. This is on a MacBook Pro with M1 ARM processor and Monterey 12.3.1. To get Chirp to run I had to manually sign the app per the download instructions. All other features seem to work properly. I can download and upload to a FT-4XR. I’m sure there is still something the OS doesn’t like about the app. This is most likely been run into before, but I couldn’t find where it has been addressed. If someone could point me in the right direction, I’d appreciate it! Thanks!

[chirp_users] Using Chirp question
by strice2022 30 Mar '22

30 Mar '22

Hi, I am a new user to amateur radio and using chirp with a Baofeng BF-F8HP on MacOS 12.3. I have loaded repeaters into chirp by counties that I am in and travel through. The name in chirp and my radio is the call sign. When I am going through the channels in my radio I don’t know where that repeater is. Does anyone have any ideas on how to organize or tell the location of those repeaters other than by memorizing call signs? Would changing the name in Chirp be one way or is that not a good idea? Thanks, Steve KF0IHT Sent from ProtonMail for iOS
