[chirp_users] Success!
by greg combs 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Dan, I bought a CAT/USB cord thru e-Bay, installed the driver, hooked it up, booted CHIRP, followed your instructions, finagled a bit, and VOILA! There was the entire memory of my '817(ND) in front of my eyes. By finagling I mean that I had to work with the "A" and "C" buttons on the radio to get the right sequence, but I managed to both download and upload the memory info. The 50 meter channel change went smoothly, and I dived into the VHF/UHF part to clean it up and add new entries. Boy, what fun! This is the first time in 53 years of hamming that I have actually hooked a computer to a radio--and it worked! 73, Greg, K7ZX

Well, It depends on how and how much you are reading... The last sentence say it must comply with part 95 specifications... So, yes this radio can comply with part 95 easily...this radio complies with part 90 with much stricter rules. That's where the fun starts...Depending on how the radio is programmed will make it compliant or not. If you disable all but the GMRS frequencies and limit the power on those frequencies you can comply.. Now as an emergency radio...All is fair if there is an emergency... Take a look under radio and pick the repeaterbook for your source and you can load in all the repeaters in your area...

Hello- I've done quite a bit of searching, and I'm unable to find the answer to this: I have a Baofeng UV5r that I'm successfully programming with Chirp. I just picked up an FT-7900r and the RT Systems software/cable. I want to use the programmed channels, etc I have in the UV5r Chirp file and transfer them to the FT-7900r. Is this do-able, and will I be able to use the RT Systems cable? I'm on a Mac, and the daily release is working for me-will this also work on the new Yaesu, or should I d/l the stable release? Thanks so much- Jeff KF6DBA

I have used CHIRP to download my VX-7R's configuration (previously created with VX-7 Commander) and noted that some of the radio-wide features were not displayed .. only the contents of the specific memory channels. Is there any plan to address additional configuration items as is done for the UV-5R? I also did not see a FMN or half deviation setting. - John 73's de K9RSQ

[chirp_users] Baofeng Models and Cables

My question is, with all the different models. Just what is the difference if any between model a-b-c- and model E for instance. My model "E" will not work with my plain UV-5R. The dealer I bought it from is saying that I need a cable specific for this model. Is this untrue? Is there a difference that demands another cable? If so what newer model should I get as I try to return the two I bought for a friend and myself. Very Disappointed Thanks Alan

Thanks for the update guys ... CHIRP is a fantastic product. I was very surprised to find the breadth and depth of radios that it supports. Not having all the bells and whistles of a vendor specific product does not impact from its usability in any way. Focusing on the memory channels as a priority makes good sense. Keep up the great work ... it is greatly appreciated. -- John 73's de K9RSQ

To all. There is some difference even between BFB927 radios.Some minor changes at the factory. I sent the bug 463 and 465. Jim was working on this.I know the latest build seems to have solved the issues with all the ones I have here.(8 units) I'd suggest: #1 do a menu 40 reset all. #2 uninstall chirp #3 get the latest daily build. #4 download from the problem radio.The image from one BFB297 to Another BFB297 can be two different images and not compatible because of the change in firmware on the radio.Even though they are all BFB297 there seems to be two versions of BFB297.. #5 Upload the image to test compatibility. #6 you can try to upload to other radios with the two versions but may only get the memories not the extra goodies. #7 let me know if there is anything else. I've been doing some digging as well.There is a definite difference between some BFB297's to other BFB297's.Knowing the Chinese they fixed or added something and never bothered to give it a new revision.this happens! Leo, If you need some help let me know.E-mail me at my local address bret.hedrington(a)brethedrington.com I've got all my radios working perfect.

The answers are 1= Yes 2= yes 3=I tried that 4= Yes I did 5= Yes it is always the same radio that gives me trouble, I know this because I have uploaded repeaters to the 1st radio, and it had more frequencies loaded. It is only one radio that is a problem. I believe it may be more cost effective just to purchase an additional unit and see if it still occurs. I can have one in in about two or three days.I will see if that works. Also there is a Baofeng dealer in my city.

[chirp_users] Channel program problem
by Bill Gabbard 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

I've a Baofeng UV-5RA and when importing local repeaters in Chirp (only been using since 1/11 & VIP before then & same problem), in Channel Mode it will not ping one of 4 local repeaters but if I set it in VFO Mode, no problems. In Channel Mode, I can hear other local repeaters but one I've programmed; RX Freq.=147.180 TX Freq.=147.780 Tone=151.4 Offset=00.600 FYI, I've 2 other Ts, a Yaseau FT-11 & a B-K LPH-5142 of which both can get the repeater, I can't talk to either of these from my Baofeng While in Channel Mode but can in VFO Mode. Any suggestions appreciated. 73s Bill

[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available
by Mike Heitmann 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

All, Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available in the KK7DS Ham-Apps yum repository. To add the repository as a software source, please follow these instructions: http://www.d-rats.com/component/content/article/30-d-rats-yum-repository/ For those who don't wish to use the repository, or who may want to build from source themselves the RPMs are available for download here: http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/17/noarch/chirp-daily_2013012… http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/17/SRPMS/chirp-daily_20130120… Fedora Users NOTE: Fedora 18 was released a few days ago. Fedora 18 RPMs are not in the KK7DS repository yet. Once we get fully switched over to the new release the builds going into the repository will become Fedora 18 builds. For now, you can get Fedora 18 RPMs here: http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/18/noarch/chirp-daily_2013011… http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/18/SRPMS/chirp-daily_20130119… The Fedora 18 RPMs will not be updated as frequently as the "daily" until we get fully switched over, because that build process is not automated. For more information about Fedora 18, check out the Fedora Project website: http://fedoraproject.org/ FYI: Fedora 18 RPMs for D-RATS are also in the same folder on the N0SO website: http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/18/ Another NOTE: Each time an announcement for a new chirp daily build is sent, the Fedora Linux binary RPM for that build should be available in the KK7DS repository within a few hours. Once in a while we have "snafu" that interferes with that automatic process, but for the most part you can count on the latest daily build being in the repository. I stopped sending an announcement to the list for each build to avoid it being considered SPAM. Enjoy and 73, Mike, N0SO

[chirp_users] Master Channel List
by David Andrzejewski 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

Hi all - I'm new to CHIRP. I recently posted a request to add a feature to be able to define a "master channel list" in CHIRP that would allow you to apply one channel list to all radios. It never occurred to me that the stock configurations feature does exactly this. I was asked to mention this on the list because it might help other users. Enjoy! - Dave

[chirp_users] New Chirp User ???
by Bill Gabbard 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

I'm a new user to Chirp & have a Baofeng UV-5RA (BFB297). I'm using the Chirp Daily Build from 20130111. A few questions: --Is the Freq. on the spreadsheet the TX or the RX Freq.? --On all Channels but where I've put a Tone of 151.4, it displays 88.5, --Also shows 88.5 on ToneSql, 023 in DTCS Code & DTCS RX Code, --What is DTCS Pol which shows NN on all channels, --Is there a source I'm not aware of that explains the meaning of each Column? Some like Name, Tone Mode, Duplex, Offset, Mode, Power, & Skip I know but others I don't. 73s & thanks, Bill

Good suggestion, Jav; -I have gone to the area that you had described in the PREFERENCES. The "Allow applications downloaded from" was already selected to "Anywhere." - I deleted the stand-alone CHIRP app. - I unlocked the "padlock," and selected another of the three selections. - I locked the security padlock. - I restarted the MacBook Pro. - I opened the security area again, then unlocked, selected the proper "Anywhere." - I locked the padlock. - I restarted the computer. - I expanded the ZIP file that contained the Chirp app. - I double clicked the CHIRP APP. - I was greeted with a warning that this app was from the 'net, etc. - I allowed the opening of the app to progress. - Same result, no opening of the app. 73 and thanks! -Mike- KØJTA Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:55:00 -0500 From: Javier Henderson<javier(a)kjsl.org> Subject: Re: [chirp_users] New Daily Build To:mike@s3com.net, Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Message-ID: <CAFoqWpBb5DoBhr2b7zhCuhpGHkwDQnwOQCxyRwkZGYxRj90DhQ(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" On OS X 10.8 the concept of "trusted apps" was introduced.

There are 7 of these radios in my club. There are 4 different firmware versions. Version 281, 291, 295 & 297. My radio uses 291 and works fine with the build I use. It will program the others but will not transmit on some of the versions. Is there a fix for this or coming soon. Thanks aparrisjr(a)carolina.rr.com

I am most likely doing something wrong, here. (As USUAL...) I am a Mac user (mainly) and was happy to realize that CHIRP can run in OS-X! I have downloaded and opened the chirp-daily-20130111.app.zip from today's daily build. I double-clicked it to open, and now have the chirp-daily-20130111, which is a 1.3 Mb stand-alone app, from the way it LOOKS. When I open it, it informs me that I should be made aware of the fact that this was an app that was downloaded from the internet, etc. I click on OK, and it all just stops there. (Repeated attempts to open the app have the same results.) I ran DISK PERMISSIONS with no result that allowed me to go further. I am running a Retina MacBook Pro; This came with OS-X version 10.8.2; Is this the reason for my troubles? I will also be trying this app on an iMac, which is running OS-X 10.6.8.

It changes the time it takes to load the banks on the FT8800 from about 23 seconds on my machine to 0.43 seconds. Note: Fix incorrect upper bound on the FT8800 incidental to the rest.
