[chirp_users] Import Error Regarding Radio Reference
by ctoci＠cox.net 11 Jan '21

11 Jan '21

Hello and thanks for what you do! Last week, I was successfully able to import frequencies from Radio Reference.com through my subscription. However, today, I was unable to do so. I have researched the FAQs regarding this topic. The only references I found were: CHIRP-Bug #4961 and Bug #4963. I downloaded the latest "Daily" version of CHIRP and tried import again with no success. Can you help? Thanks! Regards, Chris

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 10 Jan '21

10 Jan '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-20210110 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #642 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Remove errant ui import from anytone_iii driver The patch for #3941 imports a module from the UI for some reason, but does not use it. This seems to have been breaking the PPA build because we don't have gtk as a build-dep (for good reason). Drivers should be independent of the UI and are not allowed to import things from it. Since this driver wasn't actually using the import, removing it should be simple. Fixes #8493

[chirp_users] new radio
by Dee Burdette 09 Jan '21

09 Jan '21

I recently purchased a set of radios on Amazon. The info says the radio is programmable so I purchased a Baofeng cable (also recommended). The radio is not listed on the Chirp site as compatible. There is very little documentation with the radio and even less anywhere else. Any help is appreciated. ~Dee

Re: [chirp_users] Chirp no work - on Windows, try Linux if possible
by Dave B 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Hi. In Windows, after connecting the cable (no radio needed on the other end, nor Chirp running.) Go into the Device Manager, and look for the COM/Serial port device lists. If there are no Yellow Triangle signs, and you only see one COM port, that is the one you tell Chirp about. If you see more than one, with that display on screen, unplug the cable, wait, and re-plug it, and you'll see the list update so you can identify which COM port to use. If however, the one for your cable has a Yellow triangle, with a ! in the middle, then Windows as no driver for it, because it's recognised as either a counterfeit USB/Serial chip, or it's an old version of a Genuine chip (not uncommon sadly with Prolific chipsets) or a chipset that Windows does not know about (SiLab's and others typically, if so go to their website and pull the driver you need, for your version of Windows, and install it.) You can either rollback the driver, and install an earlier one. Under Win7 as you no longer receive updates, that should stick, but in effect your are then part of the problem stealing someone else's intellectual property by proxy. (Prolific's design and firmware.) On Win10, you will probably have to block updates else it will update to the current version that will again reject old/counterfeit devices, but in these troubled times, it is not a good idea to skip security updates. Just get a genuine FTDI or whoever's chipset based cable. OK, it costs more, but you don't need to block security updates and compromise your PC to keep using it. In Linux, the Kernel has all the drivers built in, and (usually, but for how long no one seems to say) they still work with the fake and old version chips too. (And very well too, it has to be said.) But... Your username must (On Debian based systems such as Ubuntu, Mint, Raspian and so on) be a member of the "dialout" group, or you will never get to use it. (Fedora bases systems I think have a similar requirement, but I don't know the incantation for them.) Open a command line window (Ctrl + Alt + T) and enter this:- sudo aduser $USER dialout You will be asked for your password (the same one you logged in with. '$USER' is a system variable containing your present login name.) After that you *MUST* Logout, and Log back In again (or reboot, if that is easier) for the change to take effect. Then you can use serial I/O devices. To find out what /dev/ttyUSB* number it has been assigned. Immediately after connecting the cable (again, no radio needed) in a command line window, use the command ls /dev/ttyUSB* That will show you all the USB/Serial devices it knows are connected. If you have several, compare the list without the programming cable, and with it connected, so you can identify which device name you tell Chirp to use. Note! In the presence of multiple USB/Serial devices, it is common for them to be "enumerated" (discovered) in a different order* when the machine is next restarted, so it is usually best to confirm what you have before starting the software! (* There are ways to make things consistent and stable, but that is beyond the scope of this email for now. If you are curious, look up 'udev rules' ) You may be able to "test" the cable, by connecting the apropriate pins of the radio end of the cable together, forming a serial loop-back, then you can use a terminal program (CuteCom for example, will need to install that if not already present) to type to yourself. See your radio's manual to identify which pins or terminals of the cable end to link.. Hope the above is not too much to digest. 73 Dave G8KBV On 06/01/2021 20:00, chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com wrote: > Hi Billy > > I find that I can only get Chirp to work with my BaoFeng UV-5REs when I > do it with Linux.

[chirp_users] Setting CTCSS or Tone Codes
by John Elliott 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

I have completed these settings on my HAM radios just fine. On the two GMRS-V1 and the GMRS 50X1 radios that I have, I was informed by those who have done it, to set the "Tone Mode" to "TSQL", the "Tone" to 141.3 (example), the "ToneSql" to 141.3, and the "Cross Mode" to "Tone->Tone." The issue is, whenever I do this, the "Tone Mode" switches from "TSQL" now to "Cross" and the "Tone" is removed along with the "Tone->Tone". Can anyone tell me am I setting this up incorrectly? When uploading it with only the "Tone Mode" to "TSQL" and only the "ToneSql" tone number, leaving the "Cross Mode" blank, the radios will not open the repeaters. -- *Thanks, John KF7MUE* *GMRS-WRKD607*

Good morning, I bought a set of Baofeng UV-82hp radios a few weeks ago since than I have not been able to program them. I tried two different cables so far the one that came with the radios and one that I bought from Amazon, the Amazon cable says it’s FTDI, it does flash and recognize my radios but I get an error message while trying to clone says that the radio can’t be Recognized by com port 6. I’ve tried to update, install, reinstall the ports abound twenty times. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. I’m going to try another cable any Sunday would be great! Respectively,

Hi Everyone! Huge fan here and Gentoo Linux user who recently found out the chirp package was removed from the main repository due to depending on pygtk which (as far as I understand) has no Python 3 support. I'm willing to help fix any ways I can so I can continue to receive updates in Gentoo. Does anyone have more information, are these assumptions completely out of date, or is there already a bug/feature I can support?

When I set B to display the channel name it displays 70CM CA which is the name of frequency 446.000 in stead of the name of all the frequencies that I am using on A. How can I fix this?

[chirp_users] Programming an ICOM IC-7100
by John 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

I recently purchased an ICOM IC-7100 and am trying to purchase it with Chirp. I am unable to find a copy of the official ICOM CS71-00 software (presumably it has to be purchased?) so I am trying Chirp. I usually work on Linux so tried the Linux version first. When Chirp connects, I get a warning that the Icom IC-7100 operates in live mode and that any changes will be immediately sent to the radio. Chirp connects to the radio and downloads the existing memories and bank configurations, but I can't make any changes. For example I would like to change the bank assignments, but the checkboxes do not work. Is it in some kind of read-only mode? Is there something I else I need to do? I tried the Windows version as well (on Windows 7) and the same thing happens. -- John.<https://www.postbox-inc.com/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=siglink&utm_campai…>
