[chirp_users] Yaesu FTM6000 support - not yet. Perhaps I can help?
by Stephen Hersey 23 May '23

23 May '23

I've used Chirp for my HTs now for many years (thanks, developers!), and recently bought a Yaesu FTM6000 dual-band mobile. Its primary deficiency from my point of view is that it isn't supported by Chirp, for which reason I bought a third-party programming program and serial cable made by RT Systems. I'm not a fan of their business model of "Spend another $60 for a different (but actually near-identical) programming utility for every one of your different radios," so I view this as a one-time thing, and a way to give back by achieving Chirp support for this model. I would be delighted to use this equipment and my embedded hardware/software development skills to bring about Chirp support for this radio, but I would need some help from someone familiar with Chirp internals. In particular, my Python skills are rudimentary; I can write Python, but it's not my best language. Implementing this support on my own seems rather daunting. Here's what I can do well: - Run test cases for reading/writing configurations from and to the radio with the third-party software - Intercept the serial data streams at either the USB driver level or the RS-232 serial link level (it's my understanding that this radio does indeed use RS-232 levels and async serial communications). Wireshark and logic analyzers are my friends! - Analyze the serial data streams for this radio and compare them to samples of known Yaesu programming protocols for other models (I believe they tend to re-use the same protocol for many models) - Compile and run test builds of a modified Chirp build from a Git repo and test them Here's what I would need help with: - Someone familiar with Python, the Chirp drivers, and ideally Yaesu's programming protocols, to work on the Python code to adapt an existing Chirp driver for the FTM6000. Is there someone on the list who would be interested in working with me on adding support for this radio to Chirp?

[chirp_users] Problems with Tenway UV 82 Pro
by David Osborne 22 May '23

22 May '23

Newbie here. I am trying to get some radios working for our VFD. It is a very small area, so we don't have a lot of money for radios. I have all the frequencies from a neighboring VFD. Their radios are kenwood TK-5220. My problem is that the RX and TX are different frequencies. I have used the split to put in the TX frequency. After sending to the Tenway UV 82 Pro, I can receive voice, but I can not send voice. The Kenwood file shows a QT/DQT Dec and a QT/DQT Enc value. I do not know where to put this info. in the chirp software. Thanks for any help you can provide. -- **David** <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free.www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

[chirp_users] Tone Column
by K0LNY 20 May '23

20 May '23

Hi, I am working on fixing a couple fields in my CSV file for the Tytera 9800, and I noticed only about half of the cells under "tone" has the word tone in it, the rest are blank. Should I put the word tone in all of them? Will Chirp error if some are missing? And, on this, using Libre Office, is there a way to fill in missing cells with that value in all missing cells, using a keyboard, or would it be easier to fill down a blank column and paste it in over the column with the missing cell values? Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Stryker Radio Request
by K0LNY 16 May '23

16 May '23

Hi All, I have a nice little Stryker SR 94 HPC 10/12 meter radio, and the Striker software is not fully accessible with my screenreader. I think Anytone has a clone of this radio, or vice versa, but none of the Anytone choices in Chirp read this radio. Would it be likely that this could become a choice for inclusion in the Chirp list of radios? Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Comm orts on the Dell XPS 13
by Archie Miller 16 May '23

I am still surprised at hoe "some" hams immediately become demeaning and arrogant; I'm grateful to see there are still hams who have that old Elmer spirit. My question dad been on the comm ports on the Dell XPS 13. After being demeaned, I contacted Dell Tech support. The Dell DOES NOT have comm ports any longer, having migrated to the NEWER interface. It has Two USB Thunderbolt 3 (Type-C) ports with Power Delivery. *Archie Miller* *w6alm35(a)gmail.com <w6alm35(a)gmail.com>* *www.OrcuttChristian.Org <http://www.OrcuttChristian.Org>*

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R+PLUS use BF-F8HP when connecting CHIRP... why?
by Jim Clark 15 May '23

15 May '23

Greetings, To my knowledge, the Baofeng UV-5R+PLUS is just a UV-5R with a metal plate holding the display on instead of the ultrasonically welded plastic piece. For the UV-5R+PLUS I saw that the main page of CHIRP recommends the use of Baofeng BF-F8HP which I noticed includes hi-med-lo power settings instead of hi-lo on the UV-5R+PLUS. I previously used UV-5R just fine and wonder why you don't recommend it instead? Or should your description on the main page say UV-5R+PLUS. Am I just misinterpreting your annotation of my radio should be UV-5R++? Jim

Just a note about the ic v80, I just noticed it's supported in the new version of Chirp. I've had one of these for a long time. I asked about support and was told they needed a Radio to test it. I offered my radio but no taker. I don't know it its been tested but I'll give a shot I installed the new Chirp and looked for my cable. Took a while, but I found it.. Guess what IT Works Thanks Gang I really like it...... John KE4EGC !!!!

[chirp_users] Kenwood d710g - clone mode
by Chris Vandivere 30 Apr '23

I have a D710G I’m trying to upalcate using chirp. I have a baseline image taken with kenwood software as a backup that I’ve been rolling back to as I troubleshoot. I initially take a read from the radio (plugged into the radio, not the display) add new simplex and repeaters to memory, write to the radio and when it comes back up I have channels on the display(instead of frequencies it displays CH followed by the memory number) and no VFO mode or access to the menus. Any ideas where I’ve gone astray? Thanks Chris N2CDV

When trying to program in live mode, Swl, Aircraft, and other freq. not in the ham bands it stops and reports out of band. In clone mode it asks me to click on special channels toggle button of the memory editor. No toggle button to be found. Is their a way to program Rx freq. only with this software.

Re: [chirp_users] Windows 11

Or... Buy a proper "Genuine" FTDI based cable. No more problems after that. If your supplier/seller cannot guarantee a genuine FTDI based product, look elsewhere. (Or build the cable assembly yourself.) If you use out of date hardware and drivers, & then have to stop Windows from updating, you are leaving yourself wide open to all sorts of other possible problems. If your PC then gets hit with something nasty, then others on the same network might be liable to getting bad stuff too. Just how much domestic trouble can you survive? You buy cheap, you often get poor quality. End of. (Why do some Ham's pay top$£€ etc for some rig's, then penny pinch on accessories?) 73. Dave G8KBV Who followed the instructions on the website, and now have the new version of Chirp happily running on a fresh install of LMDE* just fine. Many thanks to whoever put those instructions together. VERY much appreciated. (* Linux Mint Debian Edition.)

[chirp_users] Bug Report
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 20 Apr '23

20 Apr '23

I just noticed that CHIRP accesses Repeater Book and when I try to download local repeaters around Marshfield misses W1ATD because it's listed only as DV. It only downloads when I check of DV. If you select FM only it doesn't download the information about W1ATD.. If you select DV only it downloads the info about W1ATD. Can this be fixed and can you have it fixed for everyone? AJ1L says: It doesn’t show if you just select FM only. It did come up if I didn’t limit certain modes though. Maybe you might want to drop them a note to let them know. 73 DAVID N1EA

Hi! I recently purchased this radio and there's no software that I can find for it. It seems to have a quite different way of programming than all the baofengs, SenHaix and others I've had. I've programmed the PMR channels by hand, but it was very time consuming and I don't know if there are some options I haven't accessed yet. If the model would be added, that'd be great. Thanks!

[chirp_users] Windows not showing Ports
by Ross Kelly 18 Apr '23

18 Apr '23

For Archie Miller and Jim Unroe Windows 11 Home does not show ports by default. However, if you open Device Manager and look at the top ribbon; there is a tab called view. Click on view and you will get a dropdown menu. If you click the option "Show hidden devices" a check mark will appear next to it. Now, look at the list of devices and you will have a tab for Ports (COM & LPT) displayed in the list. This should cure most of your problems.

[chirp_users] Older version
by Doc 18 Apr '23

18 Apr '23

I'm having problems with the latest version of CHIRP. Where can I find an older version? Say CHIRP 20221217 GTK 2.24.10. It appears some of the features I like in CHIRP went away in the latest version. Thanks. Doc Stevens 912.266.5415

[chirp_users] Windows 11
by Archie Miller 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

Stumped. Windows 11 apparently doesn't have the [ports which were in W-10, and it's not intuitive to add new ports. I had been using CHIRP with a Yeasu FT-60R and a Baofeng. Suggestions? *Archie Miller* *w6alm35(a)gmail.com <w6alm35(a)gmail.com>* *www.OrcuttChristian.Org <http://www.OrcuttChristian.Org>*

[chirp_users] CI-V port flow control RTS on DigiRig
by K5CG 10 Apr '23

10 Apr '23

Hello all, I am not new to CHIRP but I'm setting up a new laptop and trying to manage memories on a (new to me) IC-7000. I am using a DigiRig radio interface which has a built in sound card, CI-V port and uses RTS of the same COM port to key PTT. When CHIRP Next 20230409 reads the radio it asserts RTS on the serial port which keys the transmitter. RTS nor DTR are needed for CI-V so CHIRP should not assume that the port requires flow control. This should be the default for all CI-V based radios but a pair of checkboxes on the initial READ RADIO dialog to disable either RTS or DTR or both would also solve this issue. I don't see a configuration dialog where port parameters can be changed. In the meantime I can disconnect the 13 pin accessory connector on the back of the radio to prevent it from keying. 73 Danny K5CG

Re: [chirp_users] CI-V port flow control RTS on DigiRig
by K5CG 10 Apr '23

No. The device manager already says "Flow Control: None". The radio doesn't key until I start reading data from the radio. CHIRP is setting RTS high when it opens the port.

Try searching for "device manager", then examine the serial port connected to the radio by right-clicking on it and changing the port settings...

Re: [chirp_users] Chirp On Puppy Linux

The chirp download site and the linux instructions have all been updated in the last few days. https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download and https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux Dan and I worked together to iron those out for both the Ubuntu/debian versions and the fedora based versions, so those instructions should work on almost all current linux systems using python 3.

Hi All, Is this field required to be filled in when importing with Chirp? I have some of these fields with 23 in it, and some are blank. I'm trying to figure out errors while trying to import a CSV file to my Kenwood. Thanks. Glenn
