[chirp_users] MacOS 12.3 question
by Steve 23 Mar '22

23 Mar '22

Hi, I have a MAC M1 chip laptop run in MacOS 12.3 which has removed python 2.7. I am a new chirp user. I have performed the steps in the tips for macOS. When I try to run chirp it displays an error that it can’t find a file for python 2.7. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

[chirp_users] Duplex off with Baofeng uv-5r8w
by PS 23 Mar '22

23 Mar '22

Hi I a am trying to block TX in a frequency on two Baofeng UV-5R8W radios I have a UV-5R +plus that works as expected with duplex set to off. The two UV-5R8W that display all 6's in the frequency and locks the radios in the transmit mode unit powered down, upon restating it works fine, unless I try to TX on the duplex off frequency again. All three radios have BFB298 and 210223 firmware display. Chrip display HN5RV01 as the firmware. I am using the radio model UV-5R on the UV-5R+plus and using the BF-F8HP model for the UV-5R8W radios. Thanks for any ides on how to get the Duplex off to function as a TX block. -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

[chirp_users] installing flatpak on arm64 runnning debian 11.2 (bullseye)
by Cinaed Simson 21 Mar '22

Hi - I'm attempting to install chirp-daily-20220308.flatpak on an arm64 cpu running debian 11.2. all First, I installed the following: apt install flatpak apt install flatpak-builder apt install qt5-flatpak-platformtheme Second, I followed the guidelines for installing a runtime at https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk |namely,|| flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo | flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Sdk//21.08 flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform//21.08 But when I attempt to install chirp-daily-20220308.flatpak flatpak install ~cinaed/downloads/chirp-daily-20220308.flatpak I received the following error: error: The application com.danplanet.chirp/x86_64/master requires the runtime org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/21.08 which was not found The architure is arm64 (or ARM aarch64).

[chirp_users] Using Chirp In The CLI
by K0LNY_Glenn 20 Mar '22

20 Mar '22

Hi, For some reason, the audio is out on my Ubuntu in my shack, on the computer I have connected to my Kenwood TS 2000. I can SSH into it from elsewhere in the house though. I have Chirp installed on the computer that is connected to the Kenwood 2K. I usually install Chirp in the CLI, but I have always used it in the GUI. So, since for now, I only have use of the computer for programming my radio via SSH, I'm wondering if there is a way to read and write to the radio via SSH. Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Retevis RA 685: Transmit open, but not on programmed channels
by Andreas Führmann 20 Mar '22

20 Mar '22

Hi there, just aquired an RA 685 and programmed it with Chirp. For emergency reasons I have also added frequencies outside of the ham band. Now the mistery begins. The radio came open with transmit from 136 to 178 MHz and from 400 to 480 MHz, which is working without any problem but only in VFO mode. When I go to channel mode f.I. on 446 MHz (European PMR), it will not transmit. Maybe I‘ve overseen a check box or is there any trick to overcome this issue? Thanks in advance. 73 de DC3AFA, Andy

You could try putting a USB soundcard in the computer where sound is out. This one works in Ubunrltu and Raspberry Pi OS without requiring manual configuration: LZYCO USB Audio Adapter 2 Packs,USB to Audio Jack External Stereo Sound Card with One 3.5mm Aux TRRS Headphone or Headset to USB Adapter for Integrated Audio Out & Microphone in, Do Not Work for TV https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B072J7WLQ5/ Alternatively, if you are running Linux on the computer that has sound, you can forward X over ssh to allow GUI programs running on the shack machine to run on the machine with sound. The -X (dash capital x) option added to your ssh command would do it. The screen reader shouldn't have any trouble with it, since it's I distinguishable from having it run on the local Linux box. C.

Thanks, Jim, for that info. I've reached out to Retevis to see if they have any input. Would it basically be a requirement for CHIRP to support assigning any GMRS frequency to any channel for Retevis to change their OEM software, even if the radio supports it?

[chirp_users] unlocked GT5R transmission frequency issue
by frrobert＠frrobert.com 20 Feb '22

20 Feb '22

**** The issue I am having is of my own making and it is not a problem with Chirp**** I did not submit a bug report because I am using the radio in unsupported way. I have an unlocked GT5R. Everything in Chirp works great except transmission frequency. If I upload channels from my computer to the GT5R everything looks fine and it receives fine but every channel when I go to transmit has a frequency of 666.666 and the radio freezes. Once I turn it off and back on it is not frozen. The work around I found is to program each channel through the keypad with the appropriate transmission frequency after I do the upload from Chirp. It takes time but then the radio will transmit fine then . Does anyone know of an easier workaround? FYI I am using a week old daily build on Ubuntu 20.04. Thanks

I'm beginning to look into DMR radios, and so far none are listed on the compatible radios list. Is this a generally true statement that CHIRP doesn't support DMR? If not, I guess it's also safe to say it isn't coming soon. What are DMR folks using most of the time to program their radios? The software that comes from the radio vendor? Thanks!

Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng AR-152

How can I get my radio supported by CHIRP? In order to add support for a new radio model to CHIRP, a developer needs to reverse engineer the clone protocol and memory format of the radio. This can often be done in a relatively short period of time, but requires physical access to the radio itself. If you're interested in loaning your radio for this process, please follow these steps: 1. Look at the <https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Wiki> front page to make /sure/ that it is not already supported 2. Look at the current set of <http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/issues?query_id=15> new model requests to see if it has already been requested. If it has, do not open another issue, but feel free to post comments and pledges to help in that item 3. If neither of the above applies, then open a <http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/issues/new> new request Please note that there are many new models hitting the market each month. The chinese radio manufacturers crank them out at unbelievable rates. Many of these are copies of the same model, but often changed in very tiny but incompatible ways. As a volunteer-fueled project, we can't possibly address every model that shows up. Everyone wants their radio to be supported, but we have to address the models that are the most popular and which have developer support. If you are in the market for a radio, it is highly recommended that you check the CHIRP model support list before making a purchase. At the beginning of 2016, there were over 300 requests to support new models in CHIRP pending in the issue tracker. A quick search did not show a request to support this radio.

[chirp_users] Been trying to figure out how to program IC-7100 for almost a year now
by Thomas Burns 17 Feb '22

hi all, As I've mentioned above, Been trying to figure out how to program IC-7100 for almost a year now. I've followed the live mode radio "import/export" directions as well as the instructions outlined in Bug #7807. I cannot get the radio to accept any input or programming whatsoever. I'm using the latest version and daily update on a raspberry pi 400. Is there anyone who can provide me with or direct me to a step by step guide for programming an Icom IC-7100? Thanks in advance, Conor KI7CRG

[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

Re: [chirp_users] perfectly clear warning

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 05 Feb '22

05 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

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)

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

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. Thanks for that. :-D 73's Dave Nathanson BTW: Radioddity.com has a sale going. You can get even better discounts using coupon code: NY2022 (10% off, until Jan 5th) Or coupon code: FRIEND-V8BRGP8 ($15 off if order over $65) HTH.
