Is this correct? ----- Original Message ----- From: Anthony R Paolucci Jr To: K0LNY_Glenn Sent: Friday, March 25, 2022 4:42 PM Subject: Re: [blind-hams] Anybody using chirp software? Fyi for those who use chirp 2 program your yaesu fusion radios chirp software tends 2 turn your radios into useless bricks after programming them score John Kruk Narketing/sales Manager at Yaesu USA. He reccomend either using the programming software that Yaesu has if the programming software is available for the make/model of the yaesu radio listed on the files tab for the radio. If theres no programming software listed under your radio model then you are forced to buy the programming cable & software from rt systems. Be advised if chirp bricks your yaesu radio you will be forced to ship your radio to yaesu usa in California for repairs. Also be advised that once chirp bricks your radio your radio warranty will be voided and you will be responsible for paying all shipping costs, parts & labor to restore your radio back to factory settings. 73 Anthony R Paolucci Jr KG5JPU (817)707-6008 On Fri, Mar 25, 2022, 10:29 Glenn / Lenny <glenn(a)ervin.email> wrote: I use chirp in Linux, with the screenreader Orca. When you are in the Linux graphic user interface, it is more like old windows than new windows is. You will have menus like old windows, and virtually all the keyboard commands in Linux are like that of windows shortcuts. Orca is more like using NVDA than like using Jaws. And Chirp is fully accessible in Linux. You can use Linux on a thumb drive without installing it. I have Linux installed in a virtual machine on this computer, and I have it installed side by side windows on another, and I have it on multiple USB drives around here. You can install the live version to a backup drive and the backed up files will still be there, but you can boot to that drive if you want. But with all that, it is possible to use Chirp in windows, but you have to do a lot of routing Jaws to PC, and then finding the selection, and then routing PC to Jaws. And if you aren't familiar already with the menu options in Chirp, this would be challenging, but I have used it in Windows. Another problem with Chirp in windows, and sighted people have this problem too, is that Windows has difficulty using the right drivers, where Linux doesn't, and people just don't have driver issues in Chirp when it comes to recognizing the cable they are connecting between the computer and radio. Finally, people should not be afraid of learning Linux, I think windows 10 has a steeper learning curve from windows 7, than using Linux, that is the Linux desktop environment, when people use terminal commands, that is more learning, that is like using windows command window, and I think most windows users can't use that much either.

Hi, I have a MAC M1 chip laptop run in MacOS 12.3 which has removed python 2.7. I am a new chirp user. I have performed the steps in the tips for macOS. When I try to run chirp it displays an error that it can’t find a file for python 2.7. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

[chirp_users] Duplex off with Baofeng uv-5r8w
by PS 24 Mar '22

24 Mar '22

Hi I a am trying to block TX in a frequency on two Baofeng UV-5R8W radios I have a UV-5R +plus that works as expected with duplex set to off. The two UV-5R8W that display all 6's in the frequency and locks the radios in the transmit mode unit powered down, upon restating it works fine, unless I try to TX on the duplex off frequency again. All three radios have BFB298 and 210223 firmware display. Chrip display HN5RV01 as the firmware. I am using the radio model UV-5R on the UV-5R+plus and using the BF-F8HP model for the UV-5R8W radios. Thanks for any ides on how to get the Duplex off to function as a TX block. -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

[chirp_users] Using Chirp In The CLI
by K0LNY_Glenn 20 Mar '22

20 Mar '22

Hi, For some reason, the audio is out on my Ubuntu in my shack, on the computer I have connected to my Kenwood TS 2000. I can SSH into it from elsewhere in the house though. I have Chirp installed on the computer that is connected to the Kenwood 2K. I usually install Chirp in the CLI, but I have always used it in the GUI. So, since for now, I only have use of the computer for programming my radio via SSH, I'm wondering if there is a way to read and write to the radio via SSH. Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Retevis RA 685: Transmit open, but not on programmed channels
by Andreas Führmann 20 Mar '22

20 Mar '22

Hi there, just aquired an RA 685 and programmed it with Chirp. For emergency reasons I have also added frequencies outside of the ham band. Now the mistery begins. The radio came open with transmit from 136 to 178 MHz and from 400 to 480 MHz, which is working without any problem but only in VFO mode. When I go to channel mode f.I. on 446 MHz (European PMR), it will not transmit. Maybe I‘ve overseen a check box or is there any trick to overcome this issue? Thanks in advance. 73 de DC3AFA, Andy

You could try putting a USB soundcard in the computer where sound is out. This one works in Ubunrltu and Raspberry Pi OS without requiring manual configuration: LZYCO USB Audio Adapter 2 Packs,USB to Audio Jack External Stereo Sound Card with One 3.5mm Aux TRRS Headphone or Headset to USB Adapter for Integrated Audio Out & Microphone in, Do Not Work for TV https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B072J7WLQ5/ Alternatively, if you are running Linux on the computer that has sound, you can forward X over ssh to allow GUI programs running on the shack machine to run on the machine with sound. The -X (dash capital x) option added to your ssh command would do it. The screen reader shouldn't have any trouble with it, since it's I distinguishable from having it run on the local Linux box. C.
