GMRS Programming using CHIRP
by Dave 15 Jan '25

15 Jan '25

i am very new to this, I am trying to program using CHIRP to the Baofeng UV-5R, as I am licensed to use GMRS, CHIRP, when I programmed in the frequency, put in DTSC in the tone mode column, which prevented me from hearing anyone, I changed it to tone, now I can hear other users, the tone is set at 88.5, channels that have a repeater are set to + 5.000000, FM at high power. As I am not sure if any of the settings are correct, as I am not able to contact anyone, is there anyone who can help me with the settings I need in all the columns? I appreciate any assistance you can give me in this!

Alternate Programmng Methods
by ebills＠ncsmiths.com 14 Jan '25

I'm playing around with a TIDradioH3 which has both bluetooth programming and a dedicated usbc connection for programming. Curious if Chirp has usb to usb programming capability or bluetooth capability. Dick W4RS

Re: Trouble with Linux USB port (Dave B)
by Dave B 13 Jan '25

Hi again. You need to... sudo apt purge brltty If you've not already done so in the past... "brltty" is (I think) a Braile input device, for partially sighted users, often installed and active by default. It would appear the devices probably use a CH340 USB/Serial bridge chipset, hence the confusion. Also, if you've not already made yourself a member of the "dialout group"... sudo adduser $USER dialout. That will add "you" (the logged in user) to the "dialout" group, giving you permission to use serial ports, among other things. ("$USER" is a system variable that holds the logged in username.) Then, at least logout and log back in again for that change to take effect. If you wish, do a full restart just to be sure that brltty has gone. There is also often another background daemon "modem manager" that can cause similar issues. That can be disabled too, plenty on the web about that. Hope the above helps. Dave B.

Hi. With recent Linux's, you can use... dmesg -WH in a command line session... Where nothing appears to happen but if you plug something in, you'll see what the OS does with it. If -WH errors, try -wH.. An initial splurge of info, then silence, untill you change what's plugged in. (Ctrl+C exits the dmesg thing, Ctrl+D will close the terminal session.) If you have a FTDI based adapter, you can create a udev rule, so it always shows up under a more easily recognizable device name, such as... /dev/ttyMyAdapter! Or other creative name, regardless of were you connect it. Lesser chipsets without a unique serial number, you can do similar tricks, but you have to decypher the "path" to the device, and as I've recently found, with some OS/PC Hardware combinations, that can change at each boot! Most application software these days will accept that sort of thing, CHIRP used to, but I've yet to try the latest incarnation. 73. Dave G0WBX.

Disable and remove BRLTTY. It's a not uncommon issue for that to mess with serial ports. Plenty online about that, and other pre-installed software that comes with the OS's these days. It doesn't affect many, but when it does, mayhem ensues! Hope that helps. Dave.

Trouble with Linux USB port
by Gregory Beyer 12 Jan '25

Hi, I'm having trouble with CHIRP not recognizing any USB ports. I'm running LinuxMint 21, Mate. I've installed chirp-20250110-py3-none-any.whl per the instructions at /wiki/ChirpOnLinux. Other than needing to install python3-yattag, it went smoothly. Love how fast chirp loads over the flatpak I used to use a long time ago! When I run chirp, and scroll through the ports, there are no USB ports listed. Tried "Help me" and got "Unable to determine a port for your cable. Check your drivers and connections." Under Mate System Reports/System Information, I see the cable listed under USB hub 1: Device-2: 1-2:40 info: QinHeng CH340 serial converter type: <vendor specific> driver: usbfs rev: 1.1 speed: 12 Mb/s chip-ID: 1a86:7523. I plugged my cable into a different USB port, cable appears under hub 2 in the report. So, my OS is recognizing the cable, on either USB port, but CHIRP does not. Even tho I'm not getting a permission denied error, I tried "sudo usermod -a -G $(stat -c %G /dev/ttyUSB0) $USER" anyway, and got "stat: cannot statx '/dev/ttyUSB0': No such file or directory." Same error when I tried command for USB1 and USB2. Any suggestions on how I can resolve? Thanks much, *________________________* *Greg Beyer greg(a)beyerusa.net* KQ4AVZ

Retevis H777 Unable to Connect
by jmorin06＠gmail.com 11 Jan '25

11 Jan '25

Greetings! New CHIRP user here. I ordered (4) Retevis H777 radios and am trying to program them. Two radios are the "newer" version (with usb-c charging) while the other two are an "older" version. I am able to connect, download, and upload to the older version radios, but not the newer version radios. When I try, I get the error message "Error communicating with radio, no response from radio". Tried with all three of the H777 profiles (H777, H777 Plus, H777S). The first two profiles give the same error message already described. The third is a different error message "The radio did not accept program mode after five tries...". Radio is on, tried different computers (Mac and windows) also made sure I was using latest CHIRP build (10-Jan-2025). Nothing works... I am able to program with the Retevis CPS. The "newer" version does have some different features so maybe it needs a new profile/model in CHIRP? Before I submit a bug/new model request, I wanted to check here to see if anyone has advice or experience working with this "newer" H777 model. Thanks!

UV-5R receive issues using CHIRP
by Dave 10 Jan '25

10 Jan '25

I downloaded the CHIRP software I received with the radio, I used updated software to program the radio, it transmits fine, the problem is that I am not receiving anyone, the color on the radio changes as there are people talking, I have a scanner that also confirms that people are talking, but no audio from the radio, with the exception of the National Weather Service that is programmed in. I have some ham radio, FRS, GMRS Freq's programmed in. Since the updated software puts all the information in for us when you enter the frequency, I am not sure what is going on, any solutions?

My guess is that you put the ctcss tones as receive tones instead of transmit tones. Joe Pizzi KI5LST

"Round-trip" processing with Chirp
by lgadallah＠gmail.com 08 Jan '25

08 Jan '25

Hi all: I have used 'chirpc' to connect to my radio and download the memory map. It is my understanding that entries can be added to a .csv file and these can be added to such a memory map file, allowing updating or adding new entries to the memory map. However, I wonder if there is a way to convert the memory map file to a .csv file, allowing the contents to be managed there? This would allow a "round-trip" capability as mentioned in the title: Configuration could be downloaded from a radio, converted into a .csv file, edited as needed, and then inserted into a memory map file and uploaded to the radio. Note: I may be missing some obvious functionality as I am using 'chirpc' rather than the GUI, as I am remote from the PC and radio. 73, Larry NM7A/VE6VQ

Settings content problem
by Lofgren, Charles 08 Dec '24

08 Dec '24

I'm trying to fix the missing 222 mHz band problem with my Radioddity UV-5rx3, and I've gotten these directions from Chirps' Issues section: Without a copy of an original image (or at least one that wasn't blanked, the best I can offer for you is to do the following... 1. Save the Radioddity_UV-5RX3_20230722(factory).img file that I just attached to a convenient location on your computer 2. Start CHIRP 3. Load the image file that was saved in step 1 into CHIRP 4. Click Settings -> Advanced Settings 5. Click in the field for the bottom Range Override Parameter setting 6. Type CTRL + A to highlight the whole field 7. Type the Delete key to empty the field 8. Manually type in UseAtOwnRisk (do not copy-and-paste from your browser) 9. Upload to your radio 10. Restart CHIRP My problem is that when I go to the Advanced Settings tab, I don't find the indicated Range Override Parameter. The Settings tab itself is at the top of a column on the left side of the screen. I've seen several YouTube videos where the Chriip Settings tab appears about the middle of the screen after some preliminary material. The Settings option on my screen seems to have different content. How do I get to the right version of Settings? Thanks, Charlie

Out Of Supported Range Error for BaoFang UV-5RH Pro Max
by robboere＠hotmail.com 17 Nov '24

17 Nov '24

I'm currently setting up a UK-5RH Pro Max which is able to monitor around 6 frequency bands as well as having the FM Radio function available on many UV-5Rs. I've been trying to set-up a number of additional FM radio frequencies in the range of 88.8 MHz to 107.5 MHz for stations in and around London here in the UK. These frequencies can for the most part be found on the FM radio function, but they can't be named with the built in FM radio scanner - so was seeking to create these as a set of defined channels in my configuration file. I have created these as a CSV and have loaded them into Chirp as a CSV import. However I don't seem to be able to insert them into the configuration file for the handset. Unfortunately, I receive the message "Some memories are incompatible with this radio" and specific errors such as "Frequency 96.400000 is out of supported range" for all 60 that I'm trying to insert. I have added other frequencies from 108 MHz onwards and there are absolutely no problems with these - so am sure that the method I'm using to add these is correct. It seems to just be the question around adding any frequencies below 108 MHz and the Chirp configuration and/or the Radio not accepting them. I've checked the radio and I can scan all of the ranges outlined below, so the radio is capable of receiving on those ranges: - 65-108 MHz FM RX - 108-136 MHz AM RX AM Air Receiving Only - 136-174 MHz FM TX/RX - 220-260 MHz FM TX/RX - 350-390 MHz FM RX - 400-480 MHz FM TX/RX - 480-520 MHz FM RX I have used both the Baofeng UV-5RH and Baofeng 5RM but neither of these allow these frequencies to be added to the listing. I was keen to have FM radio channels with names and direct selection via the channel selection capability, but it seem that this isn't possible. It means that I'd need to scan anywhere where I am and hope to guess what the radio station is. Would anyone know why the software (or Radio/Profile) isn't allowing me to add these frequencies?

No response from radio error
by Ramon Jones 16 Nov '24

16 Nov '24

I have searched the archive and could not find an answer. I just purchased a Btech FTDI programming cable. I have been unable to use this cable with the CHRIP programming software, I get a "No response from radio" error message when I try to read any Baofeng radio. I have multiple UV-5R and BF-888s radios, I have tried programming on 3 different computers using Windows 7, 10 and 11 with the same problem! When I look at the device manager, everything looks correct on all 3 computers. If I try using the BF-888 software on the BF-888s radio everything works as it should! Do you have any suggestions to fix this problem?

Yaesu vs. Baofeng/TYT band memories
by Massimo Nespolo 11 Nov '24

Greetings, Two amateurs groups need to build up a common group. One has Yaesu FT-4x, the other Baofeng or TYT. Chirp supports both. However, it does not seem possible to past or export-import the band memories from one model to the other - at least I couldn't figure out how to do it. Is there a way, or one has to retype everything by hand? Thank you in advance. Massimo

Baofeng AR-152 power levels damaged by CHIRP?
by Ceferino Lamb 01 Nov '24

01 Nov '24

I found this thread on mygmrs forum about the AR-152 and the effect CHIRP allegedly has on it. It's quite a good thread. I didn't get any hits on RadioReference when I just searched. In a nutshell, it says that once you run CHIRP on your Baofeng AR-152. your power settings are permanently altered such that you no longer have low power or full power anymore. This post is from May and has been relatively quiet since. I wonder if it's still a risk? I have two 152s on the bench right now to program so I saw this post just in time to stop. Both have the firmware rev A152V01 indicated as problematic. I'm surprised the issue hasn't been discussed here. https://forums.mygmrs.com/topic/7377-calling-all-ar-152-owners/ -- //CRL Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

AR-5RM - Frequency in this range requires AM mode
by Scott Zettervall 29 Oct '24

29 Oct '24

When I enter or paste aviation frequencies, ex) 121.500 into memory I get the Warning: Some Memories are incompatible with this radio [700] Frequency in this range requires AM mode [701] Frequency in this range requires AM mode [703] Frequency in this range requires AM mode ... I simply click [OK] on the Warning and everything gets assigned to memory and I can clone into the AR-5RM just fine. The problem is the Warning is not necessary, the AR-5RM does support these frequencies/AM.

Hello; I am successfully using Chirp to program my FT-70D. But I cannot see where to add the 5-digit Wires-X addresses in the configuration. I have some programmed into the memory slots C1 to C5 but I cannot find them in the downloaded configuration. Any ideas? Thanks Chris

TYT TH9000D Plus support?
by Dean Jahnz 25 Oct '24

25 Oct '24

Will one of the TYT supported radios (TH9000_144, TH9000_220, TH9000_440) work with the TH9000D Plus? Apparently my friends have bad taste in radios and like to purchase units not supported in CHIRP :( In a related subject: Another popular TYT model (the TH8600, which is the only IP65 waterproof rated radio I know of) was being worked on about a year ago, but seems to have gone dead. Is there any plans to support that radio? It's a very popular model among those who use Ham comms in off-road vehicles that are exposed to the elements. I would be willing to send mine to anyone with the know-how to develop support for it. The factory programming software for it sucks!

Whine on trx Low Power in new batch of GT-3TP Baofengs
by Ceferino Lamb 22 Oct '24

22 Oct '24

I bought several new GT-3TP and so far those tested have a whine on trx when running Low power. Audio quality is also inferior to numerous older GT-3TPs we run on the ranch. In the past I'd noticed this whine on a batch of new UV-5Rs I programmed for a friend. The advice back then was that the newer HTs had some differences, and to turn off Battery Saver in CHIRP Setting/Basic Settings to reduce that whine. I never tested that theory. But setting Battery Saver to Off doesn't remove my Low Power whine (recall that the GT-3TP is FCC type UV-5R, CHIRP Model BF-F8HP). So I have a couple of questions for the group: 1) Any other ideas on how to remove that whine on trx? 2) Is Battery Saver worth using at all? Some on RadioReference say it's of no use. For now my workaround is to run M Power (4w) if the whine is too annoying. But I prefer to run Low unless more is needed. Reno K7CRL -- //CRL Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Power-On messages inop in new GT3-TP?
by Ceferino Lamb 15 Oct '24

15 Oct '24

I got a few new GT3-TP spares, and programmed them with CHIRP as usual. Something's changed in the startup display at boot. I use two parameters under "Setting/Other Settings" to display my CHIRP version level and my call sign on boot: Power-On Message 1 used to display on the 1st line Power-On Message 2 used to display on the 2nd line (both briefly on boot) Now, neither works. "GT-3" displays on the 1st line "MARK III" displays on the 2nd line And the 6+Power-On Message settings seem to also be ignored. They are also greyed out in CHIRP, cannot be changed. Anybody BTDT? Got a remedy? I already jailbroke the new units with a hard factory reset. -- //CRL Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Re: setting up Scanner function UV-5R family

John: A very logical question. No only do I have the NWS 6 or 7 broadcast channels, I also have the two Skywarn channels for my home area, as well as some Fire and EMS dispatch channels in my home area. This 'odd' group allows me to move around the state (in Florida) and not have to specifically program or dial to the specific channel. It's something I want to try now that I know what the TO/CO/SE designations mean. Thanks for your help on this.

Generally, there is only one that covers your geographical area and the others are out of range. Also, because they never stop transmitting, your radio will stop on it every scan cycle.

Re: Setting up Scanner function UV-5R Family

Actually, Jim responded. I use the 5R, so I followed his instructions just to see the result. I stumbled a bit, because "scroll down to the Detailed Menu Reference" is really "Menu Definitions - Detailed", and my brain was programmed to skim for "Detailed". Persistence helped ;-) But sure enough, the answer is there. Thanks to you both. I updated my notes to "UV-5R scan options: TO=pause on channel; resume after preset time. CO=stop on carrier detect; resume when carrier drops. SE=stop on carrier detect; resumed by user." ...but it has been a while since I used scan on either of my 5R models, so I don't recall what happens with SE. I'll have to read the manual and test. Does it: 1. When SE is active and stopped on a channel, and the user presses SCAN, radios will pick up the scan at the channel point following, and resume scanning. 2. Go back to the beginning of the scan programmed list, and begin again. 3. Start the scan with the current channel, which may still be active. In this case, the user must manually step ahead, then press SCAN. ISTR that the 5R will resume scanning (SE mode) with the next scan channel, when the user triggers SCAN. ~R~ On 2024-10-09 20:35:, Gary Chesshir via Users wrote: >I haven't seen anyone answer your question. TO is stop on search and resume after preset time. Usually 5 sec. CO will stop when detects carrier and resume when carrier drops and SE will stop on signal and remain there until acted upon by user. > >Hope this helps you understand the 3 choices.
