[chirp_users] WinXP issue
by JP Bernier 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Hi, I have an old (ancient) Kenwood TM-V7A that I've programmed in the past with a long-dead WinXP laptop. The Kenwood had the chronic screen failure years ago that I had a weird hair to fix, and did with success! Now I want to update the programming. I found a functioning XP laptop and I've jumped through 10k hoops getting my modern Yaesu/ Prolific USB cable to talk to WInXP, but I got that to work finally (with a deeply buried legacy driver)... now I'm trying to install CHIRP on on the XP laptop so I can import my current .csv file and put it on the Kenwood. I get: "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem" (it doesn't). I think a legacy version (2004'ish?) of CHIRP might be the thing, but I don't know where to find it on the CHIRP website. Conversely, I have the ancient Kenwood MCP_V7 software successfully installed on the XP, but it doesn't seem to import anything at all. Not sure the point of software that only reads the radio without the ability to import data to upload, but whatever. If anyone knows how to get a .csv file into that it would get the job done just as well. Cheers, JP.

[chirp_users] Help - Programing ICOM handheld IC-2GXET and IC-T7E
by Allan Carson 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

Hi Chirp, Great job you guys are doing there - thanks! Can you please give me some help - I have a multi-function JiYKR cable to program my radios, but I can't seem to be able to get in to change or save any of the settings when I use the 'live' mode on Chirp. Could you give me some info on how to use the live mode and or suggest any other versions that I can use to program the IC-2GXET and IC-T7E? Thanks for your help 73 Allan - ZS1AL

[chirp_users] CHIRP .csv Export Cross Mode Missing;
by Craig Hayes 20 Mar '21

20 Mar '21

Hello, I cannot figure out how to have the Cross Mode column included in my .csv export from CHIRP. The Cross Mode column shows in CHIRP, but when I export a .csv it is missing; In CHIRP; The .csv header; I use Filemaker for my main organization and radio setup, then export a .csv and import it into CHIRP to program my radios. This has worked fine, but now I need to program a couple of channels that use Cross Mode for tones. Any idea how to include Cross Mode in the .csv? Thanks in advance, Craig

[chirp_users] Icom IC-91A
by Steve Walker 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

Hello, Hope I am doing this correctly, I subscribed using my e-mail. I have an Icom IC-91A that does not have the D-Star module in it. Purchased the cable from Bluemax49ers indicated for this radio and can't seem to get the radio and Chirp software to communicate. The cable driver is installed and seems to be recognized by my computer and working according to the device manager. The cable has a 2.5mm plug that fits into the data port, there is a different cable that has a 3.5mm plug that fits into the speaker port. Do I have the wrong cable for a non-D-Star radio or am I missing something? If anybody can shed a little light on this it would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve WB5EJV
