[chirp_users] IC-T70A: has anyone programmed it successfully?
by Nicholas Papadonis 22 May '15

22 May '15

Hi Folks, Has anyone heard reports of an Icom IC-T70A or IC-T70E working with Chirp? I'm having difficulty programming this radio, however can program my Baofeng. I have a Genuine FTDI USB cable. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error downloading from the radio. "Failed to communicate with the radio: Unexpected response from radio". As device manager says the COM port is ok, I'm suspecting something else is going on. The USB serial cable is properly detected by my Mac OSX v10.10.3 as a USB serial device. The device properly appears in the OS as /dev/cu.usbserial-A9030T4G. I tried a couple versions of Chirp and used this device path. In my tests I tried downloading from the radio both by specifying Icom / IC-T70 and then Icom / Autodetect. Both setting resulted in failure to communicate with the radio. The radio then begins to cycle memory channels after the download fails. I have tried placing radio into clone mode by pressing V/M/C and Power button at the same time, then pressing the PTT button both before and after clicking Chirp Download from Radio button. I have tried without placing radio into clone mode. I have attached the Chirp debug log from a recent daily build 2015-05-02. I tried an older build from a year ago from 2014-12-15 with the same results. I have also noticed a few bugs around this radio and wondering if perhaps an older Chirp build works correctly. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks, Nick KB1GZN New York, NY USA

[chirp_users] ICOM IC-2300H
by John Wuest 22 May '15

Does anyone know if CHIRP will work with the ICOM IC-2300H transceiver? I see the 2200H listed, but not the 2300H. Your input will be appreciated. John, KZ4KY

[chirp_users] UV5R7W
by David Pruitt 20 May '15

20 May '15

This HT was sold at the Dayton Hamvention as a 7 watt HT with a 3800MAH battery, In trying to program it as a UV5R I could read from the radio but could not install a new image on the radio as I was getting a Unsupported Firmware Version N5R3407BFP3-23XX error. This radio's drivers are experamental. I had found out the chip version of the Baofeng programming cable was needing the Prolific 2303 TA drivers which I got from the Prolific web page and these worked ok. I then discovered you must download the radio as a Baofeng BF-F8HP image and this solved all the problems.

[chirp_users] Hidden memory columns
by n7uzl 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hello For whatever reason, sometimes when building a memory list to upload to my UV-82c, items such as TSQL and others will change on their own. There are several columns that do not pertain to values I want to add to my radio. MY question is: If I hide a column, can values be changed without my knowledge in a hidden column? Regards, Don

Re: [chirp_users] Import from stock config - option not available
by Rich Carlson 15 May '15

15 May '15

Morning All, I downloaded the daily build that was made available this morning. No luck - the Import from stock config option is still nowhere to be found. Here are all of the choices under the Menu options: CHIRP: Get Help Online / About / Services / Hide / Hide others / Show All / Quit File: New / Open / Recent / Save / Save As / Import / Export / Close Edit: Cut / Copy /Paste / Delete / Select All / Move Up /Move Down / Exchange / Properties / Start dictation / Emoji & Symbols View: Columns / Hide Unused Fields / Smart tone modes / Change language Radio: Download from Radio / Upload to Radio / Import from Data Source / Query from Data Source / Channel defaults / Stop Help: Report Statistics / Enable developer functions The only greyed out choice is Stop (under Radio). KK7DS Python Runtime R10 is installed. I was able to successfully download info from RepeaterBook, so Chirp is partially working. Just no sign of stock config anywhere.

This would be the same files. They just open in a separate tab. You would just cut-and-paste them to where you want them instead of import them directly.

You do have the "KK7DS Python runtime" installed, right? Jim KC9HI | |

[chirp_users] Yosemite - SiLABS UART
by Dennis Feely 15 May '15

15 May '15

Using Yosemite on iMac. Had the SiLabs and Yaesu FT-1D with SCU-19 cable working ok. Took a long time and should have written the procedure. I installed the Prolific drive for Baofeng radio. I got that working OK. Then the SiLABS UART stopped ’talking’ to Yaesu. Using latest daily build of Chirp. Looking at info on mac, I see the drivers for both Prolific and UART under USB selection Anyone have any ideas - I have re-installed the UART driver. I can see various selection when I connect CHIRP under Ports. Both the SLAB_USB-UART and USB-Prolific show up. I have also used the command under terminal: sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1” I am not very savvy on Mac but need help suggestions??? 73, Dennis
