Did not get your first problem in a message but if you hold down the left three buttons and turn on then do the same thing again you will get a good reset.

Sounds like an honest-to-goodness bug to me. Can you send me the original CHIRP image, and then an image captured after "fixing" it with commander? There's probably just some stray bit that isn't getting cleared. I should be able to find it from the diff of the two images. I'll go on to say, once again, that Yaesu radios are really bad about this. They let you program basically anything into the memory you want, regardless of whether it will crash the radio's microcontroller or not. It's really rather unfortunate that they didn't design the radio a little better than that... -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users

[chirp_users] Mass update of D710
by Sander Pool 01 Jul '12

01 Jul '12

Hi, yesterday I tried to do a mass update of my D710. Here are the steps I followed: - connect D710 to computer - load memory using MCP-2A - save MCP-2A data to file - exit MCP-2A - start CHIRP - connect CHIRP to D710 - wait for all 1000 memories to be read - export to .csv - stop CHIRP - disconnect D710 - load .csv into CHIRP - load repeater information from repeaterbook - paste repeater information from new documents into .csv - repeat previous steps till all desired repeaters are loaded - save .csv - connect D710 to computer - load memories using CHIRP - delete all memories using CHIRP (pasting over existing memories doesn't appear possible) - copy all memories from .csv file - paste all memories onto empty D710 document - tons (dozens) of error dialogs pile on top of each other complaining of illegal values - impossible to kill all sort-of-modal dialogs - kill CHIRP using task manager - do a little dance that I saved my config using MCP-2A - start MCP-2A - load previous config - save to D710 Forgetting for a moment about the apparently illegal repeater data that breaks the upload to the D710, is there a better way to upload a csv file? It seems a bit cumbersome to first have to load the entire memory contents, then remove all memories and then paste over. Thanks, Sander W1SOP

Dan, I am using the serial port on the computer. It is a Dell Optiplex GX280. dual core 32bit P4 with 3GB of memory. I blew Windows away and installed Mint 13 w/cinnamon.

[chirp_users] Chirp Mint 13 w/cinnamon Yaesu FT-8800
by Hawkins 18 Jun '12

Gang, Installed Chirp. I am using a cable that I got from some Windows software that I used to program the FT-8800. It works fine with that software. I just don't use W for much and would like to do away with it all together. When I put the 8800 in clone mode and clicked OK on chirp, I got an error from Chirp saying that it did not have permission to use /dev/ttyS0. sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyS0 fixed that at least for now. Trying again produced : "An error has occurred failed to read header 0" Any thoughts? Steve -- Stephen Hawkins NG0G ng0g(a)mchsi.com 73 49 111 01001001

Rather than setting the permissions on /dev/ttyS0 to 0777 you should add yourself to the group that owns the device. On my Ubuntu box that's the "dialout" group; Mint might be similar. 73, Creede WA7KPK From: Hawkins Sent: 6/17/2012 12:58 PM To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: [chirp_users] Chirp Mint 13 w/cinnamon Yaesu FT-8800 Gang, Installed Chirp.

[chirp_users] Can't program Alinco DR-135 mkIII / Argent T2-135
by Don Mascarella 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hello, I am having difficulty using CHIRP with my Alinco DR-135 mkIII. I have the computer connected via a USB-to-Serial adapter / Serial straight through cable / this plugs into the DB9 serial connector in the back of the radio. I have the Argent T2-135 installed inside of the Alinco. My settings are: 4800 / 8 / 1 / None I have manually programmed 3 memory channels into the Alinco. When I try to connect with CHIRP, I get the following error message: "An error has occurred need more than 1 value to unpack" Am I doing something wrong? I have successfully used CHIRP with my Yaesu FT-897D and my Kenwood TM-D710a with no problems. -Don Mascarella KA9RXK - Schaumburg, IL

Re: [chirp_users] Problem Uploading on FT-897D
by John Johnson 11 Jun '12

11 Jun '12

OK I couldn't leave it alone.......not solved but new interesting data........ I ran "process explorer" and "portmon" from the Microsoft sysinternalssuite. They do not show any program or process using the serial port when the error occurs (radio immediately displays "error" after A button pushed to upload when in clone mode). Appears there is not another application capturing the serial port and changing levels. I even disabled the modem (COM3) just in case......no change....shot in the dark I connected the USB to Serial cable to one of the Dell USB ports and it assigned COM6. I plugged the serial cable from the radio on the end and everything works great (upload and download). Looks like it is not a system software problem. I am starting to think I have a hardware problem on COM1 serial port. But it downloads fine and the HRD suite of products run fine through it. Wish I had all of the test equipment (scope, etc) I threw out when I downsized and moved after retiring. Wait a minute, I think I have a logic probe out in my toolbox...... Oh, to only go back to the days when I could simply use the system maintenance panels to displays signal levels and logic prints to track down what was happening <sigh>. Suggestions welcome.......

Re: [chirp_users] Problem Uploading on FT-897D
by John Johnson 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

I felt I should clarify so someone reading this in the future does not get confused. My Dell Notebook has a one serial port (COM1) with a connector (COM3 goes to an internal modem). When I connected a cable directly from the serial port to the FT-897D the radio would not upload memory settings, although it would download. As a matter of fact the radio would not stay in UPLOAD mode (it immediately displays "ERROR) when button A is pressed on the radio. If I disconnect the serial cable from the PC the radio stays in UPLOAD mode (displays "receiving"). This shows the radio is not the problem. My ASUS notebook has only USB ports so I had to use a USB to serial converter to test. The cable I use does in fact have a Prolific chip (authentic, not a copy, verified by Prolific) but that is not germane to this test. This cable worked fine to both download and upload. I used the same serial cable as above to connect from the USB/Serial cable to the radio (so it is not a cable problem). As a point of interest this same cable and chip have functioned correctly for everything EXCEPT running HRD (supposedly due to the extremely high load HRD places on the connection). Ergo, the serial port on the Dell Notebook is causing the problem. I do not know if it is either a hardware, firmware, or software problem. Some day I will have sufficient curiosity and time to dig into it (I retired after 42 years in the computer field). Once again, thank you for your feedback. John

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/ I know it says d-rats, the chirp files are in the same repository. After setting up the repository, open the "Add/Remove Software" tool and go to "software sources" under the system menu. Make sure the "KK7DS Ham Apps Beta Software" line is checked (enabled). For some reason, the Fedora package manager likes the beta versions better that the daily builds, so you may not see the daily release in the list the first time you update. If you don''t see it, open a terminal window and enter: yum update chirp-daily_20120608 Or: yum update chirp-daily_20120608-1.fc16 That should install the latest daily build. For those who don''t wish to use the repository but still want the RPM (binary or source), please look here: http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/noarch/chirp-daily_201… http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/SRPMS/chirp-daily_2012… Fedora users who have upgraded to Fedora Core version 17 (fc17), Fedora Core version 17 RPMs for CHIRP and D-RATS may be found at: http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/17/ Happy Testing, Mike, N0SO

[chirp_users] Problem Uploading on FT-897D
by John Johnson 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

Thank you for the feedback. I have narrowed down the problem to my Dell notebook. If I use my ASUS notebook (using a USB to serial cable since it does not have a physical serial port) I am able to both download and upload the memories with no problem. I am unsure what the problem is with the Dell; I have checked all of the settings and they appear correct. At this point I am not concerned since all the Dell runs is HRD, DM780, logbook, and JT-65hf. CHIRP is a great product.

[chirp_users] Cannot download from Wouxun UV-3D
by Bob Nielsen 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

I recently purchased a Wouxun UV-3D plus the programming cable and installed Chirp on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.7.4. I also installed the Python runtime package mentioned in the wiki. I needed to install a Prolific USB driver before /dev/cu.usbserial appeared as a port choice. I have a couple of manual entries stored so I figured that the program would download them but when I click "OK" a window labeled "Clone" appears. After several seconds I get a window saying the radio is not responding. Is there a step I missed? 73, Bob N7XY _____ N7XY DX Cluster Node - telnet to n7xy.net, port 7300

Re: [chirp_users] Can't write FT-2800M
by José Luis Artuch 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

Absolutely. And to program the FT-2800M manually, to record frequencies of repeaters does not work as described in the user manual !! (traditional method Yaesu line, pressing PTT to the transmission frequency); it is necessary to go into the menu and change RPT and SHIFT. Uff ... I had a hard time to find out haha On the hardware side, this model also has problems in the RF power amplifier. Correction: In the previous post, where I wrote 3.5 mm I should have written 2.5 mm.

[chirp_users] Problem Uploading on FT-897D
by John Johnson 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

I am able to download the memory settings from the FT-897D with no problems. However, even if I simply try to upload the received data (no changes) it fails with an "ERROR" message on the Ft-897D and the upload box on CHIRP disappears immediately. This occurs using multiple versions of CHIRP including the 03/30/2012 (chosen since multiple posters say it works) up to the latest daily build. When I click on the CHIRP upload box on the PC screen first and then immediately push the button marked A (upload) on the FT-897D the radio screen displays "RECEIVING" very briefly and then displays "ERROR". If I select button A on the radio first it immediately displays "ERROR". I am using XP PRO with a serial port connecting to the radio. I have verified the com port and radio is correct (it just downloaded OK) and that the port is set to 9600 baud. The cable and connection runs HRD and DM780 with no problems so I am assuming the cable is OK. I suspect some arcane setting that I am unable to find. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can determine the cause of the error? Thank you. John

[chirp_users] Exporting D72 memories never finishes
by Sander Pool 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Hi, I did some editing of my D72 memory, unplugged the radio and attempted to export the stations to csv so I can re-import into my D710. The problem is that the 'Preparing memory list' phase never ends. This is on an i7 based laptop so it shouldn't be a performance issue. I have perhaps 100 of the 1000 memories set, spread over the 10 banks. Any ideas? 73, Sander W1SOP

Hi everyone. Just enrolled the list seeking for help. I tried to install Chirp on my old notebook running XP. Installation OK. When I launch the program I get the following error message: > ------------------ > C:\Program Files\CHIRP\chirpw.exe > This application has failed to start because che application > configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this > problem. > (OK) > ---------------- I tried to de-install, to install the older version, to install again without de-installing, etc.. but no avail. Maybe it is a simple issue, but by myself I cannot find the way to solve the problem. Many thanks in advance, --Federico, IK0ADR in Rome, Italy

Re: [chirp_users] Can't write FT-2800M
by José Luis Artuch 29 May '12

29 May '12

I suspect not, this interface does not work well with ft-2800m ... I make the following connections: RJ-12 connector (FT-2800M) TS connector 3.5 mm (interface for FTH-2009, FTL-2011, VX-200, etc.) Pin 1 PTT/CLONE <------------> Tip Pin 3 GND <--------------------> Sleeve It worked well to read but not to write. Reading http://www.g4hfq.co.uk/links.html and http://www.g4hfq.co.uk/download/g4tic.pdf, I think the problem may be in the interface. Bas Helman (G4TIC) says "... So far I have tried three circuits one with no success another with partial success (it communicated in one direction only) and the one documented here with complete success. ...". Maybe I should build the interface G4TIC suggests to try again. Thank you Dan !!

When I try to use the Repeaterbook option, the list of states is limited to only US states whereas their web access also includes Canada. Is this limitation in the access afforded external programs or is it something internal to CHIRP? If it is internal, could the access be changed to include the Canadian provinces as well, please?
