[chirp_users] gmail & chirp.exe
by Gary or Coleen Ferguson 12 Oct '22

12 Oct '22

FWIW #1, I'm being forced to change the file type to do an attachment of a CHIRP file to a gmail email. The CHIRP file extension is *.img; I can rename it to have a *.txt file name and then gmail will allow it to be attached to an email. FWIW #2 when I tried to save a CHIRP file yesterday Win10 would not allow it to be saved.. I had to add CHIRP.exe to the controlled access list of programs in Settings/Update&Security/Controlled File Access. Maybe others are fortunate and do not have these issues. thanks, W5TAO

[chirp_users] Editing Image Files
by Bob DeFranco 26 Sep '22

26 Sep '22

I imported a set of repeaters and simplex stations into my BF-F8HP image file from a .csv file, which went fine. However, the power setting for each entry defaulted to HIGH. I prefer to use MED, but was forced to individually change each entry, since there does not seem to be a way to "fill down" or otherwise globally change that category. Is there in fact a way to do that? If there was a way to export that setting into a spreadsheet program it could be done there, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Thanks for your help.

[chirp_users] TIDRadio H6 - Failing to download from radio first time
by chirp 23 Sep '22

23 Sep '22

Hello- Im trying to use chirp on my Mac. I Checked the USB Com port type on another persons windows box to see what it was and it reported a WCH360 (As I recall, or close to it). I went to the following website based on Someone elses post a couple days ago to get the driver for my Mac: https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php <https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php> I installed it and also updated to todays latest chirp distribution. Im getting the following in my debug.log file after failing to download from radio even though the debug log shows no error at the end which is kinda odd since python clearly failed. Has anyone else had success with this model? I tried setting it to several different Boafang models and it seemed to get further but then still fail. I wasnt sure if it was closely compatable or not but I thought Id give it a try. Any help is appreciated.

[chirp_users] Programming the QYT KT-8900D
by Tom 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hello, I'm stuck! I am trying to program my KT-8900D with CHIRP, and I keep getting error messages, depending on which pc/laptop I use. All of these are running Windows 7. In each case I want to "Download from Radio." And I have hooked up the programming cable after turning the radio off. With my HP PC: After connecting the radio and turning it on, the 'cloning process' window comes up, then the the pc returns the message: "An error has occurred. Error reading data from radio." With my Lenovo Laptop: Same set up. Error message is "Bad ack from radio." With my Dell Laptop: Same setup. No matter which com port I specify, I get the error message: "could not open port (X): [Error 2] The system could not find the file specified." Any advice that can be offered will be greatly appreciated. BTW, all three of these computers worked fine with CHIRP earlier. I do not know what went wrong. Thanks, -73- Tom KX7TRW

[chirp_users] Import Export missing
by Julian Macassey 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-9R Plus - shaky data cable hack
by Bernhard Dobmeier 07 Sep '22

07 Sep '22

Hello Chirp Community, this is Bernhard DB1BD, i just got CHIRP running to program my new Baofeng UV-9R plus. I think the mailing list is a good place to give my contribution: From what i read in the ticket list at the chirp website, some struggle with rather unreliable data cables when programming Baofeng radios. So did i. Sometimes the reading or writing cycle ran through, sometimes it aborted, most of the time it didnt start at all in either direction, followen by an instant reboot of the radio. Familiar? Now.. i heard rumors.. from a distant friend.. ;) that if you open the plug at the radio end of the cable and solder resistors from Ground to each of the two signal wires, things get a lot more stable. 560k each might work. Or higher. Lower might be critical in terms of shortcuts. Disclaimer: Don´t try this at home. You might ruin your data cable, radio, or even your computer. Or more. What i learned, Amateur Radio is an experimental hobby. Take my message as an inspiration for your own experiments at your own risk, investing your own knowledge and experience. If you lack the latter two, don´t try. So.. sorry for my arrogant sermon. I just don´t know who reads this. Just make sure you know what you´re doing. Or ask your electronic freak friend who does know to help you. The trick worked for me but I don´t take any responisbility for your experiments. But i´ll be happy if i could help someone. A few detais on my setup: CHIRP daily build 20220823 on opensuse Leap 15.3 built from source (i give 1 vote for an opensuse RPM!)

[chirp_users] Kenwood TH-F6a Problems
by K0LNY_Glenn 10 Aug '22

10 Aug '22

Hi All, I am sure that there are some owners of this radio here, and I'm having trouble with mine, and hope someone can help. I have a CSV file that finally imports to the radio without errors. I have some HF frequencies written into the CSV for RX purposes, but I have done that before without a problem. There are 300 entries in the CSV file. When I load it up, many of them don't work, and the lower numbered ones that should TX only beep when I try to TX. The radio is supposed to beep in channel mode when I pass zero on the tuning knob, but after uploading my CSV and pressing C, the knob seems to go through some channels, but none that work. I have to put it into PC mode in order to connect to Chirp. Is it okay to leave menu #9 in PC mode? I am asking instead of just trying it because I can't see the display, so I need a reader for this level of menu changes. Some things I can count the turns, but #9 involves multiple choices. Or can anyone think of another thing that would cause this strangeness? Due to Chirp's lack of accessibility in Windows, and now in Linux, I can only do the basics with Chirp, so I cannot access radio settings in Chirp with a screenreader. Thanks for any help. Glenn

Hi Folks, I looked on the Chirp repository for an image for my Kenwood TH-F6A and didn't find that model. Does anyone have a stock image you can send my way? My radio does not import, but it opens my CSV files, but those don't upload or save live to the radio. I don't know if another stock image will get absorbed into it either, but I'm just trying different things. Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] programming a Kenwood TH F6A
by K0LNY_Glenn 08 Aug '22

08 Aug '22

Hi, So I just fixed up a file for the Kenwood TH F6A, and I do remember from programming it a year or so back, that it operates in Chirp in "live mode", which means it puts stuff in right away. So I wasn't able to import a CSV file, the import does not want to work. I downloaded from the radio okay, and since I couldn't import, I tried the "open" and it seemed to bring the fields. But it won't allow me to upload. Do we not upload? Or if it won't upload and it should, what might be the cause? Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] IMG File Request
by K0LNY_Glenn 07 Aug '22

Hi, I have a bTech UV5X3 and it seems all messed up, that is why I acquired it. I can punch in simplex channels, but I cannot input duplex channels by hand. Chirp will not read from the radio, and even though it is a tri-band, the band button only toggles between 2M and 70Cm. I was able to punch in a 1.5 M frequency and it worked on simplex. But no matter what I do, Chirp says error reading from radio. The cable works with the Baofengs I have. Since the radio isn't toggling to the third band, I'm wondering if someone flashed it with a UV5R image. I'm not sure if it would work to upload to the radio with the proper image if I can't download from it first. Anyway, if someone has a backed original image of a UV5X3, I would much appreciate a copy of it if you would. Glenn

[chirp_users] Not Accessible In Chirp
by K0LNY_Glenn 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

Hi All, So I've made progress on my RaspberryPi 4. Bull'seye. In LXDE desktop, Chirp did not show up after I installed it in the CLI, and LXDE was challenging with the screenreader Orca anyway. I installed mate and Orca works much better, and Chirp was in accessories, as it is in Ubuntu. So here's the new rub. I launch Chirp, and it does not speak with Orca the screenreader. I did alt D and heard the bleeps when I was at the top and bottom of the port list, so I am pretty sure it's working, just not with a screenreader. I did the snap chirp install. I may try it with another TTS in Orca, but I don't think that will make a difference. Glenn

[chirp_users] A "Feature" When Programming Btech's GMRS-V2 Handheld
by Lisa & Sam Thurman 31 Jul '22

31 Jul '22

Dear Chirp Team: I’m a newcomer to Chirp, having found it following an interest in getting a repeater-capable handheld, that led me to Btech’s GMRS-V2 as a starter radio. While Chrip presently has a beta-version interface to the GMRS-V2, I found it to work well and I’ve been able to program about 20 frequencies into the radio with regional repeater stations, and a mixture of VHF and UHF frequencies for local fire, police, businesses, etc. Chirp makes this relatively easy (provided you enter all of the data correctly, of course) and is more user-friendly than the CPS software from Baofeng, which is really meant for their UV-82 series on which the GMRS-V2 is based. One thing I’ve noticed is that while Chirp uploads to the radio and gets CTCSS and DCS codes and other settings correct, after programming the radio is showing the “+-“ symbol for a frequency offset on all of the channels that I put in with no offset. I checked the image file I’d saved and see that the column labeled “Duplex” does show as “off” in all cases. The radio works OK, though, so I describe this as more of a feature and less of a bug... Does anyone have an idea of something I might be doing incorrectly in the use of Chirp? Or is this a feature of the current Chirp version when writing to firmware in the GMRS-V2? Sincerely Yours, Sam Thurman Valencia, CA

[chirp_users] Squelch On Specific Channels
by K0LNY_Glenn 28 Jul '22

28 Jul '22

Hi All, I was just out trying to bounce off the ISS repeater with the 5 downlink frequencies programmed into my Baofeng BF9, which I think has the same basic settings as the UV5R except some power levels. I need to keep the squelch open when I'm listening, but I don't think it works to hold the squelch open and PTT at the same time. Is there a squelch level per channel, in Chirp, or is this only in the menus for all the channels? I didn't see it in the column headings, but I thought I'd make sure here. Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Linux CHIRP, ICOM 7100, "unicode strings" error
by Michael Nadler KI7QIB 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

ICOM 7100 connected to Linux system via the mini-USB port. FLRIG can control the radio through that interface. Running CHIRP 0.3.0dev, when I try to download from the radio via /dev/ttyUSB0, I get a pop-up error message: unicode strings are not supported, please encode to bytes: <<gibberish characters>>>". Are there specific settings I need to have set on the ICOM? Is CHIRP able to interact with the ICOM-7100 via the mini-USB port? Do I have to use the RT-Systems FTDI cable into the audio port? P.S. I also tried running Windows CHIRP daily-20220408. Download from radio gets "error" in every entry. -- Michael Nadler KI7QIB

Hi, I have a Baofeng HP 9+, and I'm using Chirp on an older Ubuntu live on a thumb drive, that I've booted to before and used to program the same radios. I was just able to first read and write to my UV 5R with the same cable that I'm trying to use on the 9+. I worked and worked on the connection, making sure it was tight into the radio. I reset the radio with menu 40 and #1, which is a full reset, it went to Chinese, and then I set it to English again, but it still won't read from the radio. Does anyone have any ideas why it won't read? I'm pretty sure the 9+ uses the same cable as the UV5R. Thanks for any suggestions. Glenn

[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

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

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
