[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20210406 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #646 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add a brute force test for model detection The regular per-image model detection tests are not very well-suited for sussing out issues with one image being detected as multiple models, and it can be fooled if the right one is returned first from the directory. This adds a new unit test that runs through all the images and tries to match_model() every driver in the directory against them, asserting that not more than one matches any given file. Also included is a fix to make the unittest adapter use helpfully- named test images and makes the existing Detect test report the filename of the image it is trying, for easier debug. #0 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Move rt21 match_model() up to the base class The RT21 lineage has a match_model that clearly intends to be on the base class (as it checks for model==RT21), but is actually present only on the last subclass in the file. I'm sure this was an accidental detaching after the original implementation. After the driver maintenance (related to #8957, #8661 and #8959) the detection test started noticing this, probably just due to an ordering change. [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT76] Retevis RT76 This patch adds support for the Retevis RT76. Related to #8959 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RB26] Retevis RB26 This patch adds support for the Retevis RB26. Related to #8661 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RB17A] Retevis RB17A This patch adds support for the Retevis RB17A. Related to #8957 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT21] Driver Maintenance: retevis_rt21.py This patch is prepare the driver for adding additional radio models. 1: fixes some incorrect code 2: reformats some code 3: allows CHIRP to make 5 attempts at putting radio into programming mode. Other than for number 3, no features or settings have been added or removed from this driver. Related to #8957, #8661 and #8959 [Rick DeWitt <aa0rd(a)yahoo.com>] [icomciv] Add IC-7300 Live Mode support, Issue #4013 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [AT-778UV] Add support model variants that include VOX This patch adds support for the new model variants that now include VOX: Anytone AT-778UV VOX 3.0 Retevis RT95 VOX 2.0 fixes #8859 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [AT-778UV] Add anytone778uv.py driver to cpep8.manifext This patch adds the anytone778uv.py driver to the cpep8.manifest in order to enable style checking. related to #8859

Still working on getting a current version of CHIRP on Debian Stable. Here's the latest. flatpak uninstall chirp Found installed ref ‘app/com.danplanet.chirp/x86_64/master’ (system). Is this correct?

[chirp_users] Yaesu vx-170
by Joseph E. Rouillier III 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

All Thank you for taking your time to look at this issue. I have a Yaesu VX-170 that I came across. Once I got it home I did a reset on the radio to bring it back to factory defaults. Next I tried reading the radio from Chirp, (Download from Radio). That fails no matter what I try it will not download the file from the radio. The radio almost immediately shows error after pressing push to talk seeing TX. and then in chirp I see Failed to communicate with radio: Failed to read header (0) Attached is the Debug. Also just for testing I got a VX-170 file from a friend and tried to download it to the radio also had errors. As soon as I get the radio into RX Chip shows a error indicating Radio did not ack block at 0 the radio screen never shows error it continues to show RX. See attached Debug.log file. Note I tested the cable to see if it was the problem borrowed a friends cable as well, both cables same issue, and both cables successfully program an FT-60 and my friend is able to read/write his VX-170 with his cable and my cable and he sees the same errors as I do when trying my radio. I tested the jack with a speaker mic to make sure the jack seems to be working correctly, speaker mic work fine can RX and TX. Finally in desperation I removed the battery and opened the little cover under the battery and confirmed the radio was modded by someone removing the 1 0 ohm resistor, and it looks like it only had 1 resistor as the 2nd upper one looks to clean as if it was never there from the factors. I believe the MOD is Expanded RX or TX I do not recall as I've never needed to perform the mod was aware of it from researching the radio itself. Thanks for any assistance. Attaced is the debug file that should contain both Download and Upload from Radio failures.

[chirp_users] Support for Radioddity GS-5B?
by babj615 29 Mar '21

29 Mar '21

I do not see the Radioddity GS-5B listed on the roadmap, or anywhere else on the CHIRP webpage. Will there not be support for this radio? I have been using CHIRP with my BaoFeng radio with great success, wish to also use it with my new Radioddity GS-5B. Thank You! -- *///*Andy

[chirp_users] lock out transmit freqs
by Christopher Arthur 27 Mar '21

27 Mar '21

I am setting up a number of BF UV-5 for a mixed batch of ham-licensed and non-licensed users. Using MURS and GMRS for most of the of the users, but i need to lock out everything else (eg. US weather service). at the same time, we will have a couple of ham repeaters for several of us licensed operators. How can I selectively disable transmit function in CHIRP? Can't find anything in the miniature hard-to-read BF manual. "I can think of no more stirring symbol of man's humanity to man than a fire engine..." (Kurt Vonnegut)

[chirp_users] FT-70D Port for Mac
by Lawrence Underwood 27 Mar '21

27 Mar '21

I am on a MacBook Pro 13 running 11.2.3. When I attempt to download the radio to Chirp the port that is auto populated is /dev/cu/.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port. When I put the radio into ADMS mode and attempt to download it I get ‘ERROR’ on the radio and a message stating that the radio did not respond on Chirp. I am using the cable supplied by Yaesu. Any ideas on how to get the radio to communicate with Chirp? Thanks.

[chirp_users] WinXP issue
by JP Bernier 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Hi, I have an old (ancient) Kenwood TM-V7A that I've programmed in the past with a long-dead WinXP laptop. The Kenwood had the chronic screen failure years ago that I had a weird hair to fix, and did with success! Now I want to update the programming. I found a functioning XP laptop and I've jumped through 10k hoops getting my modern Yaesu/ Prolific USB cable to talk to WInXP, but I got that to work finally (with a deeply buried legacy driver)... now I'm trying to install CHIRP on on the XP laptop so I can import my current .csv file and put it on the Kenwood. I get: "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem" (it doesn't). I think a legacy version (2004'ish?) of CHIRP might be the thing, but I don't know where to find it on the CHIRP website. Conversely, I have the ancient Kenwood MCP_V7 software successfully installed on the XP, but it doesn't seem to import anything at all. Not sure the point of software that only reads the radio without the ability to import data to upload, but whatever. If anyone knows how to get a .csv file into that it would get the job done just as well. Cheers, JP.

Hi Chirp, Great job you guys are doing there - thanks! Can you please give me some help - I have a multi-function JiYKR cable to program my radios, but I can't seem to be able to get in to change or save any of the settings when I use the 'live' mode on Chirp. Could you give me some info on how to use the live mode and or suggest any other versions that I can use to program the IC-2GXET and IC-T7E? Thanks for your help 73 Allan - ZS1AL

[chirp_users] CHIRP .csv Export Cross Mode Missing;
by Craig Hayes 20 Mar '21

20 Mar '21

Hello, I cannot figure out how to have the Cross Mode column included in my .csv export from CHIRP. The Cross Mode column shows in CHIRP, but when I export a .csv it is missing; In CHIRP; The .csv header; I use Filemaker for my main organization and radio setup, then export a .csv and import it into CHIRP to program my radios. This has worked fine, but now I need to program a couple of channels that use Cross Mode for tones. Any idea how to include Cross Mode in the .csv? Thanks in advance, Craig

[chirp_users] Icom IC-91A
by Steve Walker 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

Hello, Hope I am doing this correctly, I subscribed using my e-mail. I have an Icom IC-91A that does not have the D-Star module in it. Purchased the cable from Bluemax49ers indicated for this radio and can't seem to get the radio and Chirp software to communicate. The cable driver is installed and seems to be recognized by my computer and working according to the device manager. The cable has a 2.5mm plug that fits into the data port, there is a different cable that has a 3.5mm plug that fits into the speaker port. Do I have the wrong cable for a non-D-Star radio or am I missing something? If anybody can shed a little light on this it would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve WB5EJV

[chirp_users] Kenwood TK-760H Radio Refuse...
by Mike Allred 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Hello, New member/user, so apologies if I'm missing something mundane... I am trying to program a Kenwood TK-760H with Chirp. I am using a Prolific USB to 6pin cable that is supposedly designed for this radio (and similar). When I try to download from the radio it appears to partially work. The display on the radio changes to "- PC -" and shows the PC connection icon in the top left. However, after a few seconds I get the error message "Radio refuse to enter into program mode after a few tries". Of course, I never get the configuration from the radio. Ideas? Thanks, Mike

[chirp_users] Support for Yaesu FT-991A?
by Mark Dixon 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

I think this has been asked before, in March 2019, but I'm wondering if there is any further news on Chirp support for the Yaesu FT-991A? Is there perhaps a different model which uses much the same communication protocol that does have Chirp support? Kind regards, Mark Dixon, VK6EZ

[chirp_users] Uv5r question
by ken hartmann 28 Feb '21

28 Feb '21

My buddy and I just purchased baofeng uv5r radios, we have them programmed using chirp, we were trying to hit a repeater in the middle of us, about 23 miles total so maybe 11 miles from each of us. Sometimes he could hear me but I couldn't hear him, then I could hear him and he couldn't hear me, is this an antenna issue ? We are using the rubber duckies that came with them, I also saw a setting for repeaters delay on the settings section, it is set to off, does that need to be changed ? Thankyou ken

Re: [chirp_users] Uv5r question

Are the intermittent signal drop outs while you both are indoors? Does it happen outdoors? What is the height of the repeater above your elevation? UHF/VHF or both? I believe the setting for repeaters is OK if it is the default setting.

[chirp_users] Need help with kenwood th-k2
by Susan Muse 25 Feb '21

25 Feb '21

Hello, I am having trouble using CHIRP with my kenwood th-k2. When I first try to download from radio I get nothing. It just sits there. If I try to download a second time I get an error that access to com port is denied. I am using a mirkit ftdi cable that has worked well with my boafeng radios and CHIRP. I have the PC setting on the th-k2 set to "on". What am I missing?Thanks for any help. Susan WB5JFL

[chirp_users] Recommended radio for adding to chirp
by Eric Oyen 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

Hello users and devs. I recently acquired some new radios. These are definitely for the prepper set (as I am one besides being a ham). The radio is the Retevus H-777 and it’s little brother, the H-777s. Both are programmable using a standard 2 pin kenwood style programming cable. I recently asked for assistance from that company because their in house software had some issues that prevented it working with my screen reader (much like your package which has the same issues btw). However, with a bit of visual assistance, I was able to reprogram these radios for the 70cm ham band. Now, I gave that company the primary web site and asked if they would send over the data and let you guys have a whack at it. Maybe they will and maybe they won’t. If they do, then you know who to thank for it. On another matter, I am going to ask this again, are you guys ever going to make your package properly screen reader accessible on either the windows or OS X platforms? I know it is on Linux, but then, I am a techie. However, there are many blind or visually impaired hams out there (as well as others in the GMRS, FRS and other communities) that aren’t and have to depend on outside people to program their equipment. Now, I know all the excuses, including complexity of coding, etc. However, there are code snippets and libraries available that can be incorprated into the primary CHIRP program without too much difficulty. Lord knows, I’ve done enough reading on it. However, I have no experience in coding, so it would be inappropriate to ask me to fork the project just to add this functionality. Now, I will probably hear from more than a few of you stating that I represent a “niche market”. That may have been true 20 years ago, but not anymore. Our numbers are growing and we are appearing in more communities. Now, far be it for me to point this out, but seriously, wouldn’t you want to be on board with the Woke Train here, touting your software package as diversity and inclusive compliant? It would certainly make your package more appealing than it already is. Of course, if you don’t want to be inclusive or exercise some action toward diversity, that is your decision. In any case, I thought I would point this out. Anyway, I hope that company I wrote to sends you the data to add the H777 and it’s cousin the H777s to you to add it to the supported radios matrix. Oh, and if you want to experiment with a set, they can be had for cheap on amazon (about $35 for a pair of the H-777s radios). Thank you, DE n7zzt Eric
