[chirp_users] vx-6r redux
by Nic Heath 10 Jul '22

10 Jul '22

All I've sent a couple emails with logs and more information but it looks like they both have been memory holed. After trying many different combinations between the two radios and image files and operating systems I was able to get the linux version of CHIRP 0.3.0dev on Debian 11 to program one of the vx-6rs and then clone to the other vx6-r from that HT. I don't really understand why windows with the latest version would not work or mac OS with the latest version would not work. But this old version on linux did. Thought I would see if this email can get in the mailing list archives in case anyone has the same issue: appearing to download with no error on the PC side but error showing up at end on LCD of the vx-6r.. Try version 0.3.0dev on debian 11. 73 -Nic

[chirp_users] VX-6r
by Nic Heath 10 Jul '22

10 Jul '22

Hello all I have two VX-6r radios and both of them exhibit the same behavior listed here: https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/5693 The radios seemingly receive all the way to the end and then display an error message on the radio LCD screen. CHIRP does not display any error messages. I do not see a log file in the CHIP program directory (I am using the stand alone zip version). Any pointers on how to diagnose this issue or get more data from CHIRP on if there is an issue being reported by the radio over serial would be helpful. Thanks -Nic

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R5

Any suggestions on how to get CHIRP software (or any other software) to connect to the Baofeng UV-5R5? I'm able to get UV-5R Plus & UV-5R to work with CHIRP but not the 5R5. Kevin.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 03 Jul '22

03 Jul '22

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20220703 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #692 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [GMRS-V2] Service Settings Won't Save to BTECH GMRS-V2 The service settings weren't being uploaded when cloning to a BTECH GMRS-V2. This patch modifies the upload ranges to include the areas of memory where the service settings reside. fixes #9933 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Merge branch 'master' of github.com:kk7ds/chirp [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-5R] Add support for disabling timeout timer in some variants. Until recently, the typical TOT (timeout timer) menu of most Baofeng UV-5R/UV-82 like variants had a valid list of choices that went from 15 to 600 seconds in 15 second steps. The timeout timer could not be disabled. Some new variants, the eSYNiC UV-5R for example, adds OFF to this list, and when selected, allows the timeout timer to be disabled. This patch adds support for the additional OFF choice. fixes #9924 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-82HP] Add support for lower case channel names This patch adds the ability to use lower case letters when editing channel names/alpha tags of a Baofeng UV-82HP radio (and its variants). fixes #9910 [MELERIX <melerix(a)outlook.com>] Update es_ES.po (#24) * Update es_ES.po * Update es_ES.po

[chirp_users] SOCOTRAN 980PLUS
by Damian Larkin 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

FYI - I can confirm successful read/write to a SOCOTRAN 980PLUS using the latest CHIRP build by using the "experimental" QYT 980PLUS radio selection in Chirp. I know that this may be old news. Still, I'm putting it out there so that there is some compatibility noted on the internet since information on the SOCOTRAN relabeled radios are either limited or missing entirely. Thank you!

During the cloning operation, some models need to have the driver send/receive an acknowledgement (ACK) after each of the blocks are transferred. Some models do not need these ACKs. Models that require ACKs Radtel T18 Baofeng Tech FRS-B1 Models that don't require ACKs Retevis RT22S, RB18, RB618, RT68, RT668, RB17, RB617, RB17V, RB85, RB75 Although cloning does work for all of the supported models, the code that determines if CHIRP should ACK or not is improperly implemented. This often causes part of the ACK process to be used during the transfers to/from radios that don't need ACKs. These unnecessary ACKs cause the transfer to be shower than it could be. In some cases, the transfers are noticeably slower than what they are when using the OEM software. This patch corrects the above issue so that ACKs are only used when required. All of the radios listed above were reverified to make sure that that cloning process still works and is as fast or faster as it was previously. fixes #9911

[chirp_users] Fix a CSV File
by K0LNY_Glenn 10 Jun '22

10 Jun '22

Hey All, I plan on using all IMG files for my radios, but I wanted to add some frequencies to my Wouxun KG7D, it is a 2/6 meter HT. I'm using Chirp's KG6 option, since there is no 7 in the supported list, and the 7 is just an upgraded 6. Anyway, in the past, I only used a CVS file, so if someone can fix the attached file, for me, I can save it as an IMG, after uploading it to my radio. I can't use Chirp in Linux, but with a lot of effort in Windows using Jaws screenreader, I'm able to select radio, download and upload. I got this error with my Tyt 9800, and a list member was able to fix that CSV file for me, and he said some things weren't capitalized and perhaps missing values. I got the same error, when trying to import this file, it said "no channels". So it is attached and I hope someone here can detect what is wrong for me. Thanks. Glenn
