[chirp_users] Question about disabling transmit on a Baofeng UV-5x
by bill＠riess.us 27 Sep '15

Once you have uploaded from the radio (or loaded a saved image from the model you are using) you can disable transmit by: 1 - click "Settings" on the extreme left (There is a column that says "Memories" and "Settings" - click on Settings) 2 - click on "Other Settings" in the second menu column 3 - Change the VHF and UHF frequency limits as desired (e.g. 144-148 and 420-450) You can disable transmit all together by unchecking the boxes next to VHF and UHF "TX Enable" KW9WR Bill

[chirp_users] KG-UV3D rescue image
by Robert Morningstar 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

Hello: I recently repaired my KG-UV3D by replacing the memory chip using the procedure described at http://tim-yvonne.com/ham/wouxun-memory/index.htm I am having the problem that the radio apparently has reset itself to the other band as when I attempt to use the Wouxon software I am now getting a Channel Message 1 Out of Range message. Is there a rescue image that I can use to reset this radio back to factory defaults? The web page listed above list 2 image files but they are for a KG-UVD1P. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Bob Morningstar

[chirp_users] Clean BF-F9+TP Image Required
by Douglas Yates 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

Hi all I have a Pofung BF-F9+TP which I am having problems with. I can't access the local repeater even though the rig seems to be set up correctly. It's transmitting on the correct input frequency, but it won't open the repeater, even though it's on the same settings as my UV-5R which works just fine. I suspect I may have got something wrong during programming and, like an idiot, I forgot to get a nice clean copy of the software when it first arrived. Does anyone have a known-good image for firmware N5R3401 - BFP3-25, preferably one that is known to work with a repeater? Douglas Yates

[chirp_users] Writing to radio
by John Warren 25 Sep '15

What would be causing the chirp windows download version to not allow writing from chirp to Baofeng...only will write from Baofeng to chirp. It's like that option is dead...meaning shows up in ghost type on computer screen where everything else is in bold type. Thanks, John

[chirp_users] VX-6R won't download from radio
by Barth Howard 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

I'm a newby to the group ... not having any problems using the software with my Baofeng UV-B5, but I can not download my Yaesu VX-6R to the software. Once I press the band button to begin the download , a few seconds go by LCD reads out ERROR. I don't see any obvious VX-6R problems listed ... but can anybody confirm that the current build is working fine with the VX-6R? Or do I have a cable problem? Using Windows 7 and the driver is working fine for the other radio. So I either have a Vx-6R cable problem ... likely is a counterfeit Prolific chip in it ... OR WHAT ELSE? Any thoughts? Warm regards, Barth n2abc

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-82HP, cannot download from radio
by Elaine K. O. 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

Hi, I have a brand new UV-82HP. I connected it with the cable, and the cable loaded the USB Serial driver automatically. When I plug the radio in, the computer sees it on COM4. This is on Windows 8.1. I'm running the latest version of CHIRP, 20150814. The radio's firmware is US2S35. Anyway, when I try to download from the radio, I get this message: "Radio refused to send block 0x1ec0". The display on the radio seems to reset when I do this. I'm not sure what to try next.The cable is plugged in securely. Any ideas what to do? Thanks!

Hello All, I have several Baofeng UV-5x that have non ham (receive) frequencies on them. I used Chirp to program the radios. Using Chirp, is there a way to disable the transmitter on these frequencies? Thanks in advance and 73, Peter, N7IY ----- Peter J.

[chirp_users] 20150814 reports as old, PPA trusty lists as latest
by Galen Thurber 25 Sep '15

what's the skinny? PS my 0814 release no longer connecting to UV5R radio via proper cable. Has something changed in Ubuntu trusty? My user is in the proper group My cable is known to be good. I'll try some reboots and testing on other machines.
