[chirp_users] CHIRP support for MacOS/Prolific
by Gary Ross 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

Hi, Just received a Yaesu FT-65R and a genuine SCU-35 programing cable (Prolific PL2303). I tried programming my radio with CHIRP4 on Monterey 12.1 on a 2020 MacBook Air, and CHIRP3 on Catalina 10.15 on a 2017 MacBook Air and receive an error with both configurations. Having received the error, I tried to install the Prolific driver found here: http://www.prolific.com.tw/us/showproduct.aspx?p_id=229&pcid=41 I am unclear if the driver was needed or installed correctly. Does anyone have experience with later versions of MacOS/CHIRP/FT-65R? Thanks, Gary

[chirp_users] Call to disavow associate VA6LM for role in Ottawa illegal occupation
by Galen Thurber 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

I call to disavow the logistical & equipment, financial support that associate VA6LM Leslie Thomas Michaelson of EDMONTON, is providing to the illegal protest, Ottawa occupation & to the Couts Alberta blockage. His actions are a gross violation of the code of conduct of amateur radio operator. His disinformation and incitement to hatred is unacceptable. Galen Thurber VE1GAT Halifax. NS

Re: [chirp_users] perfectly clear warning
by David J. J. Ring, Jr. 06 Feb '22

Galen, Stop threatening me and others, it is less stressful for you, and when your "house of reality" collapses, you will be able to pick up the fragmented pieces of your being. I have no idea what you're talking about, but I can guess that it means: You're a racist, anti-semetic and I don't know what "colors" means, but I am sure that it doesn't mean interior decorating. Your reaction to me shows me you have control issues, are probably used to using "hidden violence" and have many mental health issues. I wish you healing and health. You might notice that I've never in my life had to title an email: "perfectly clear warning". That really sums up your behavior to those who watch. Reasonable people don't get into situations of their own making then issuing "perfectly clear warnings" after they've made problems. I'm sending this to the CHIRP email list - remember unprovoked you came on that list and started posting. I think I understood that CHIRP was somehow supporting and perhaps funding the individual you mentioned. I think there is a mental health diagnosis of delusional psychosis, you might consult someone able do diagnose this as perhaps there is treatment available. 73 DR Galen Thurber wrote: Thu, Feb 03, 2022 at 04:43:39PM -0400 > I noticed your social feeds and likes, > yip you lack critical thinking skills. > don't let CRT, Jews & colors get you. > > > On Thu, Feb 3, 2022 at 4:36 PM D.J.J.

[chirp_users] Installing To Linux
by K0LNY 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

Hello, I am still using Ubuntu 18.04 on one machine, and I neglected to get Chirp installed onto it before it was no longer updating. I successfully added the Chirp repository to it, but it would not install with apt. So I went to the Chirp archives and downloaded what was stated the package for older systems, and I unpacked it, but they all seem to be .py files. I did not find a .sh file for installing. I'm only a moderate Linux user, so maybe someone can give me some steps for getting Chirp onto this Ubuntu. I'd rather not use a newer Ubuntu, since for this, it is just there mainly for using Chirp, and it can be an older Chirp, as all my radios would work fine with Chirp that is a couple years old. Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] FT-60R can't upload to radio
by Matt Foster 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

I'm having an issue with CHIRP and my Yaesu FT-60R. I can download from the radio, but can't upload. A bit of Googling showed me that this is not an uncommon issue. Following some of the advice I found on there, I picked up an FTDI USB-Serial adapter (I was using a Prolific at first), but the issue persists. I keep getting the "Radio did not respond" error when I try to upload. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! 73, Matt, N0EYE

[chirp_users] RepeaterBook Queries return No Channels Found
by Daniel Hallmark 30 Jan '22

30 Jan '22

I am a long-time Chirp user, but I just joined the support list and I don't know if an archive is available. I apologize if this issue has already been discussed. Attempts to query RepeaterBook for either political or proximity queries are returning "No channels found" even though I receive results when I run the same queries via the RepeaterBook website. - I have tried both "city, state" and "zipcode" queries for both 2m and 70cm bands with 25 and 50 mile radius on proximity. - I tried Cumberland County, TN for the political query. - I tried the queries both with and without a VPN enabled (NordVPN) to rule out network location issues on my end. In the past I have not had any issues with the query capability. I am running the latest Mac Unified build "chirp-unified-daily-20220118.app" on a mid-2014 Macbook Pro Retina running Big Sur 11.6.2. I don't believe the attached radio should make any difference, but I have attached and downloaded from the radio the current configuration for a Baofeng UV-82HP. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks, Daniel (AE4ON)

I’m trying to help my boyfriend’s Dad pick out a laptop that he can install CHIRP on and needed to know whether the Microsoft Surface Laptops running Windows 10 and Windows 11 in S Mode were compatible. I read through everything I could. I’m tech savvy but know nothing about Ham Radios. I don’t want him to purchase a computer that he can’t download and run CHIRP on. Thank you!

No I didn't. It just stalled and finally said "unable to verify". Prior to these last two builds I would get a message from my protection software saying it might contain harmful info but I would bypass that and tell it to download and it always worked. Please note: message attached From: Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com> To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Subject: Re: [chirp_users] daily build won't run Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2022 12:48:23 -0500 Hi Chuck, > The last two daily builds won't execute as In get an error message ?unable to verify". I have never had this problem prior to these two builds. I'm running windows 7 under 10. Any ideas? When you upgraded CHIRP, you didn't make the mistake of executing the installer while CHIRP was running, did you? [image: CHIRP Install - 0.png] If you click [ OK ] at the "A new version of CHIRP is available" notification, you must at some point close CHIRP prior to launching the installer or won't/can't be upgraded properly. I usually choose [ Cancel ] and then close CHIRP. The I go to the CHIRP website and get the latest build. I just that to upgrade my CHIRP development computer (Windows 7 32-bit) and all is well here.

[chirp_users] bf-888s programming data protocol for arduino project
by nw4gt＠nw4gt.com 18 Jan '22

Newbie here, so haven't found how to search topics yet. I have a project where I have an arduino housed in an enclosure with a baofeng bf-888s. I want to be able to leave the radio on channel one, and program both pre-stored frequencies, as well as manually entered frequencies. The arduino is tied to the audio in and out of the radio. I know enough about arduino coding to generate square wave output and detect square wave input, vary frequency of the data pulses, duty cycle, etc. What I don't know is what is the protocol for sending a "code plug" to the BF-888s. Anyone know where to steer me? Mr Google doesn't seem to understand my question.

I hadn't used CHIRP in quite some time, but had a need today. Downloaded the latest build for Mac, plugged the cable in. The new radios were quickly programmed, to be just like the old radios. Everything worked just as you'd hope. So great, so awesome. So done quickly! Hooray for CHIRP!! :-D Anyway, I just wanted to give a happy shout-out and big THANK YOU to Dan & Jim, & everybody involved for all you do. You all helped my evening go real smoothly here.

[chirp_users] With Windows 10, how do you change the driver for a prolific cable?
by J. David Aten 30 Dec '21

30 Dec '21

I recently tried to roll back the driver for a Prolific cable, but couldn't get my version of Windows 10 to allow this. The tab for "roll back driver" is grayed out. I tried to use the update driver, which I had downloaded the correct driver from Miklor, to load in. It kept saying that I had the best driver. Is there a workaround for this, now? I finally found my FTDI cable, and then didn't have any problems. But, I do have a couple of Prolific cables (no doubt fake), so, I would like to be able to use them. Thanks, if anyone has a solution.

[chirp_users] Big Sur, Icom-2820H, upload clone hang
by Channing Fell 28 Dec '21

28 Dec '21

Setup: PC: MACBook Pro, late 2014, running Big Sur , USB- OPC-478p cable Radio: Icom IC-2820H Sequence: - Install and start CHIRP - install clone cable USB-478p to MacBook, recognized with no errors - Install device end of same clone cable, USB-478p to Icom Speaker1 - from CHIRP, download Radio (clone) successful - UPLOAD Radio hangs with the progress bar around 95-98% complete - CHIRP UPLOAD errors out (completion code not received from Radio) - Remove the clone cable from Icom and it displays “CLONE ERROR” The process for both download and upload to the IC-2820H works using Windows OS. I have read a few posts, did some searches on this CHIRP website.. as well as a lot of time on the App support sites… there isn’t much if anything about how Apple changes USB and other function… but haven’t figured it out. Any hints about where I should/could look to fix the MAC issue? Thanks for reading… Respectfully submitted, Deacon Channing Fell

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-5D
by Jeff K3JRZ 20 Dec '21

20 Dec '21

I know it's been a while (over 3 months since the Yaesu FT-5D radio has be released and just as long as the info/issue (#9365) about using CHIRP with the FT-5D (https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/9365) dated 09/11/2021. I also do not see the radio listed on the CHIRP site. Since then RT Systems and Yaesu both have applications to program the FT-5D. I've used the Yaesu ADMS14 through my Win10 VM and in my honest opinion it's complete garbage. It's the first Yaesu app that I've used to program a radio. CHIRP is by far THE best that I've used, AND it works on my Mac. Has any progress been made to have CHIRP be able to program the FT-5D? Even if it's just writing to a micro SD card that could be read by the radio it would be great. Thanks & 73. Jeff K3JRZ

[chirp_users] Kenwood 2000

Hi All, So I've reinstalled Ubuntu on my machine to 18X, so I can use the older Chirp. I connected the cables to my Kenwood 2000 and successfully downloaded from the radio. I noticed that it operates in live mode, like it does with my Kenwood TH F6 HT. I exported the memories into a CSV file, like with all my radios. I tried to find a settings tab while in Chirp, and was only able to navigate to the memories tab. I am wondering if we can affect the settings of the Kenwood 2000 while in Chirp. Thanks. Glenn

Re: [chirp_users] Yaesu FT-817ND (US) download / upload issues
by rfmcc＠juno.com 17 Dec '21

17 Dec '21

J.J.Ring. Sorry for the delay in response but had chores and duties to perform to bed down things at the homestead before winter. Download from your radio then using the menu, export as a csv file and send the csv file. I believe I did / do have a copy of the cvs, I will check While I have a copy of the .img file I cannot convert it into .cvs. At any rate, the .img file, previously sent to you reflects the cvs. Were you ever able to upload to the Yaesu FT-817ND?Â No, unable to upload to 817ND. Yes, I believe I did upload, but don't know how to check the radio to see if it has done so. I tried uploading but instead of pressing the "A" button I pressed the "C" button, the program stated uploaded for a brief second then disappeared. Therefore I presume it is uploaded. Now if only I can check to see if it is. Any ideas? Do you have a copy of the unmodified img file that you downloaded from your radio before you used any type of software to modify the memories? I believe I do have a copy of the img file, I will check that tomorrow as well. Yes, that is what I previously sent to you. Perhaps your img file got corrupted. That's why CHIRP strongly suggests keeping an unmodified img file of your radio. It is a distinct possibility that it is corrupted. It would seem .img file is intact and not corrupted as per my statement two above. Open your current img file in CHIRP and export it in csv format. I did an export when downloading my HT's in the past. I will now have to remember how I did it. That my not be relevant considering all above. Do NOT use Microsoft Excel to edit that file, it will produce errors. Use libre office or open office instead. No errors with those. I haven't used Microsoft in ages it seems. I now only use LibreOffice exclusively. Yep, gave up Microsoft way back when. Take your unmodified img file from where you saved it and upload it to your radio. OK, will do. Did so and I think it went through, but don't know how to confirm. Does that work without error? Will check and see tomorrow. Not sure as above. ____________________________________________________________ Sponsored by https://www.newser.com/?utm_source=part&utm_medium=uol&utm_campaign=rss_tag… Judge Gives Rioter More Than 5 Years http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/61bcfaa9cb3407aa939aest04vuc1 Trump's Push to Oust McConnell Is Misfiring http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/61bcfaa9ea1a47aa939aest04vuc2 CDC Gives Thumbs-Up to 'Test-to-Stay' COVID Policy http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/61bcfaaa14b907aa939aest04vuc3

Re: [chirp_users] Yaesu FT-817ND (US) download / upload issues
by rfmcc＠juno.com 14 Dec '21

14 Dec '21

Many thanks for your several responses and suggestions. Since yesterday, Monday, Dec. 13, 2021 I’ve been trying with small result to get frequencies loaded onto my Yaesu FT-817ND. In the past I’ve had no problems with CHIRP and my various HT’sI’ve tried everything I can think of, as well as, by observing videos; following suggestions from more experienced folks; loading CHIRP first before turning on the radio and after turning on the radio to no avail. I’ve tried in “clone mode” and outside of clone mode. I’ve unplugged both ends of the FTDI FT232 chipset USB to 8 Pin Mini Din Male Serial Adapter CT-62 CAT Cable for Yaesu Radio FT-817, FT-857 and then plugged them in again but nothing helps. Needless to say I’ve read and reread the Owners Manual several times but no luck. Indeed, the manual seems to be outdated in the area of CT-62 CAT. So I;m at my wits end! If anybody can help it will be appreciated. I was able to download the .img files from the radio after trial and error by using the designation of Yaesu FT-817ND (US). That said I’ve been unable to upload the .img file back to the radio after successfully entering all the wanted frequencies for 70cm, 2 meters and 6 meters. One thing I found odd was when the radio downloaded to CHIRP it had some strange entries, (see the attached), perhaps that is the reason for it. At any rate I couldn’t eliminate these oddities from the .img list. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it as I would like to be up and running on my Yaesu in January, 2022. 73 Mr. McCeeKC1HLD ____________________________________________________________ Choose to be safer online.

I was able to download the 817ND (US) to CHIRP, but after making the changes I now have difficulty uploading to the radio. I get "Radio did not ack Block 0".

Hi, I booted to a copy of Ubuntu Mate that I have on a thumb drive so I can install Chirp. I've done this on Ubuntu in many different versions of Ubuntu, but I get an error when trying to add the repository. Was Chirp removed from the Zenial repository? I entered: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Connecting To A Kenwood 2000
by K0LNY 13 Dec '21

13 Dec '21

Hi Folks, I finally got an antenna outside for my Kenwood that I have in the shack. There are so many buttons on this radio, and I am a Blind Ham, but even with the speech chip on the Kenwood, it is daunting to learn all of its functions. I've have already messed it up so bad that I had to do a full reset. So I thought I'd set it up with Chirp, so I can recover if I mess it up again. I've used Chirp for my HT radios, so I'm a bit familiar with using Chirp. I'm working on trying to get an old computer with serial ports working for the shack, but until then I will need to connect to the Kenwood with a laptop that has no serial ports. I have a USB to serial cable somewhere, but I cannot find it. I did find a serial to Ethernet cable, and I am wondering if the Chirp software will be able to connect to the Kenwood via the laptop's Ethernet port with this cable. Seems like all of the Chirp connection options are all serial and one USB. Thanks for any knowledge. Glenn

[chirp_users] Using CHIRP to programme Entel HX470 radios
by chrisgarlandhome＠gmail.com 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

Hi, I've got some old Entel HX470 radios that are in perfect condition and seem to work well, so I want to program them (from whatever they were programmed to by the last user) to PMR446 frequencies. The problems I have are; 1. they are so old that Entel don't hold any records of them (e.g. user manuals) (production ceased 15-20 years ago according to Entel) 2. the ENTEL programming software doesn't include them (HX470) 3. CHIRP doesn't include Entel radios at all. Help! If you've got any ideas, I'm all ears as it seems a shame to bin them just because they can't be programmed at the moment. Thanks in advance! Chris

[chirp_users] Support for Yaesu FTM-400XDR?
by Kevin Zembower 27 Nov '21

27 Nov '21

Hello, all. Hoping that all who celebrated Thanksgiving had a restful and relaxing holiday. I'm contemplating buying a Yaesu FTM-400XDR mobile transceiver. See http://systemfusion.yaesu.com/ftm-400dr-xdr/. I'm wondering if I have to buy the RT-SYSTEMS ADMS-M400-U software to program it, or if Chirp can do the job. I searched for FTM-400 in the supported models, but didn't find it. I also searched the last six months of email list archives without success. Does anyone know if this model can be programmed with Chirp? Somewhat related, Yaesu offers this software for free download: ADMS-7 Programming Software at https://www.yaesu.com/downloadFile.cfm?FileID=14972&FileCatID=267&FileName=…. Any idea if this is a full programming software system, or just used to update the firmware of the radio? Thank you for your help and advice. -Kevin KC3KZ
