[chirp_users] putting frequencies
by Glenn 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Hi, I'm trying to put in frequencies into the table I downloaded from my Baofeng 5R. I arrowed to an empty row, one that is numbered, but only has zeros in the accompanying fields. But when just typing into the frequency field, it jumps me elsewhere on the table. I am not sure with my screenreader to import from RadioReference.com from the radio menu. Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] UV-82

When plugging a headset into my UV-82 when I press the PTT button the radio changes to the B/UHF frequencies. Is there a way to prevent this. Thanks.

I don't find the word "port"when I go to device manager, using windows 7.

I have tried several times to upload a list of 48 repeaters and everytime I upload to the radio it only receives 20 memory lines of the 48. Any ideas why? Thank You, Wevone Hobbs

[chirp_users] D-Star Programming
by Dick Smith 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

I have an ID-880H and want to program some D-star repeaters. I've down the registration and have been okayed. I've read so many different posts about programming and watched so many videos, that I'm more or less completely confused about the operation. I downloaded what I have currently in the radio and noticed that in Chirp there seem to be fewer spots to put the D-star info. I feel like what is shown is all that's needed, but I want to make sure first. I do have the original programming I did with the Icom software saved so I can reload it if necessary. I've also looked through the last 6-8 months of list archives and didn't find anything that was to helpful regarding the programming aspect. Any 880H users who might be able to shed some light on the whole subject for me? 73 Dick W4RSS

[chirp_users] FTDI good - not FTDI bad
by Richard B. Emerson 29 Aug '16

29 Aug '16

Following the traffic here, I think the following should be (if it isn't) a FAQ item. Nonetheless it bears repeating here: FTDI conversion chips and drivers are extremely stable. Anything else, including Prolific, is a gamble with poor odds. It's that simple. Background: On our sailboat, I do a number of serial/USB conversions. This converts (admittedly ancient) NMEA 183 serial data from instrumentation for a USB port on a laptop running a navigation program (Coastal Explorer - don't leave port without it). Initially I used Prolific-based convertes (what did I know?). Simply put, it became one non-stop headache. Data wouldn't come through, drivers stopped functioning, etc., etc. I switched to an FTDI-based 10-port serial/USB converter. The only changes to the system was to plug the DB-9 pigtails into the new converter and load the FTDI driver. End of problems, no crashes, full functionality. To clarify, one port services the full NMEA 183 data stream from the autopilot computer (speed through the water, depth, wind direction and speed, full GPS data stream [position, speed over the bottom, direction, GPS status, time of day)) and the port sends steering information to the autopilot, waypoint location data, and more. Another port sends data to the VHF and SSB radios (position, time of day) and receives data from the VHF (Digital Selective Calling data including emergency data received). Another port sends position, time of day, waypoint location data and receives target data from the radar including Modified Automatic Radar Plotting Aid data. The last active port receives data from the Automatic Identification System and an auxiliary GPS receiver (part of the AIS system). (full translation of "NMEA 183", "waypoint", etc. available off-list) This is a long and probably very boring summary of what goes through FTDI devices at a mix of data rates (4800 baud for all but the AIS, which works at 38400 baud). If the FTDI part fails, life gets ugly fast (yes, there are backups). I bet a lot on FTDI and have no cause to regret it. Prolific devices were... my wife wore earplugs when the converters failed. Again, FTDI good - not FTDI bad. 73 de KC3DOO Rick

[chirp_users] Unable to read UV-2501
by john bryant 26 Aug '16

26 Aug '16

Just got a new Btech UV-2501 and unable to read from radio. Error message "radio did not enter clone mode". Then the radio restarts? Anticipating a request for logging files, I downloaded the manufacturer's programming software and installed. Whenever I try to read from radio, the radio repeatedly cycles on and off until I shut down the software. Any thoughts? Thanks, John, N5SU

[chirp_users] Not working with new Baofeng UV-5X3
by chirp＠ish.net 24 Aug '16

24 Aug '16

My new Baofeng UV-5X3 tri-band HT -- https://baofengtech.com/uv-5x3 -- just arrived and CHIRP does not even communicate with it. I have a fair amount of experience with other Baofeng models and the software, and I confirmed that exactly the same configuration and cabling is still working with my UV-5R. I have the 20160819 release of CHIRP. I tried using the UV-5X setting first, and then after than didn't work tried a number of other settings including UV-5R, BF-F8HP, and so on. The "Clone progress" dialogue is shown but the progress bar remains unmoved, an error dialogue pops up that reads "An error has occurred" and "Radio did not respond", followed by a delay before the radio lights up its LED green and then red. This is on Windows 10 and I could try on Ubuntu 16.04 if requested, but as I said this is a working system for other radios. -- Mike
