Thank you. I will try this. I bought the whole set of radio, microphone and baofeng program cable. When I check my ports it says ch340 instead of prolific so that is probably the problem. Again thank you.

I used chirp this morning to transfer configuration and memory files from mine to a friend's BaoFeng UV-5R. Haven’t used Chirp in 2 years; it worked perfectly the first time. I very much appreciate the efforts of Chirp volunteers in creating and maintaining this fine program. I am sorry that I don’t have anything to complain about, must not be looking at the situation with sufficient rigor. :) K6PUK, yeah, that really is my call sign, a practical joke by someone at the FCC in 1955.

[chirp_users] Why Isn't Chirp In The Main Repository Of Linux Distros?
by Glenn K0LNY 09 Oct '20

09 Oct '20

Hi, I've added the DanSmith repository enough times now that I can do it without looking for the exact syntax. But I keep wondering why Chirp is not in all Linux stable repositories. I mean that if I want something like speech-dispatcher, I don't need to add a repository to get it. As popular as Chirp is, can't it just be in all Linux repositories? Thanks for any info, I have been web searching for an explanation as to why this is in general, but I have only gotten a history of repositories without really explaining an answer to my question.

Re: [chirp_users] Why Isn't Chirp In The Main Repository Of Linux Distros?
by Dave B 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Hi. Being stuck in the Python2.x world, rather than moving to Python3.x is one reason. Python2.x has been "End Of Life'd" so most (if not all) distro's are not including it by default. (That EoL notice was made several years ago!) Though, there is nothing to stop you from installing Python2.7 for example (you may have some dependencies to work through though) then install Chirp. 73. Dave G8KBV. (Linux Mint 19.3 in use here.)

[chirp_users] UV-3R Troubleshooting
by Matthew Carroll 06 Oct '20

06 Oct '20

I just purchased some Baofeng UV-3R radios and am unable to connect to them with chirp using OSX, so looking for some help with troubleshooting. The error I get is the classic "Radio did not ACK first command". I have chirp working just fine with other chinese radios including BF-F8HP, BF-T1 and UV-9R. The BF-F8HP / UV-5R cable I have, and the UV-3R cable both appear to use the same Prolific chipset (the BF-T1 and UV-9R cables show up differently)... Under System Information / Hardware / USB: *BFF8-HP / UV-5R cable (two-pin)* USB-Serial Controller: Product ID: 0x2303 Vendor ID: 0x067b (Prolific Technology, Inc.)

But to my mind, given the chipset appears to be the same and I have the BF-F8HP cable working, I would have thought that the UV-3R cable would work as well? Any ideas for how else to troubleshoot this? Is there anything that's worth trying before I give up and order a different cable? (If not, recommendations for a reliable source for a cable for the UV-3R would be welcome.) Thanks, Matthew

[chirp_users] Assistance adding files to a radio that's programmed from another radio.
by James Pope 28 Sep '20

28 Sep '20

Hello, I'm running into a slight bit of confusion and would like the easiest way to do the following. My cousin has to Baofeng radios, that I have program with MURS frequencies that he can use, since he is not yet a ham. I also have a lot of local public safety frequencies program into it that he scans, and of course have the transmit turned off on those. Here's what we have going on. At work they are using a different model Baofeng radios, supported by chirp. I would like to take one of his radios from work, read their frequencies and add them to his radio in the list below his current frequencies so he can use it at work. I have read about exporting to CSV and importing and it seems a little confusing. Even if I were to do this, I have read nothing about having a choice of what memory slots the important frequencies would go into, or if I have a choice like I normally do when I'm programming. Is there a simple way I can download the memories from their radios and just copy and paste them into his existing file without overwriting or losing what's already in his radio? Is it possible to open up two radio images, in two different tabs at one time using Chirp? I would think that copy and paste should work somehow but I want to make sure I know exactly how to do it rather than mess up the radios that I've set up for him that he really likes. By messing up I mean putting all the frequencies above the ones that are already in there and not at the end. He really needs these extra frequencies added to his current radios that I programmed for him. Yes, I did make an original image of both of his radios, and I do have the fully programmed images saved. The easiest way to do this, is what I'm looking for. If I can forgo exporting and importing, and just copy that would be ideal. Any assistance or help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Thanks, James

[chirp_users] CHIRP FTM-3200DR Support?
by Jack 27 Sep '20

27 Sep '20

I have looked at the web site (FAQ/Wiki/etc) and have not found a definitive answer as to whether an FTM-3200DR is a supported rig. I did see one thread that was several years old but that did not answer my question. I have seen mention of a FTM-3200D but all the documentation I find on the Yaesu web site only refers to radios appended DR or DE. Apologies if this has been answered before but I could not find it. 73, Jack, K0JP/VE3RUA -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

[chirp_users] Programming Retevis R21
by bob burks 25 Sep '20

25 Sep '20

Need some help. Our church uses these for inter church communication. I have setup the first 20 or 30 ht's no problem. I made backup of the program image. We are in need of adding more RT21 to the flock. My problem is after programming the new ht's everything works etc the transmit audio is extremely low to not at all. I also noticed the image file loads back differently by dropping out data. I have changed to the latest Chirp level. And have two programming cables. Nothing changes. I use a working ht and when I download the image file it also is not the same as the orginal. I have also used 4 different laptops and a table computer. Most are running ein 10. I have another laptop running vista sw and the results are the same. Any ideas??

[chirp_users] Ubuntu 20.04 - followup
by KD0YMG - Jed 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Hi. New user there, so I can't reply to the previous thread. I was able to get chirp running using flatpak, but some things seem funny, or might be helpful to others. Sentence wrapping on the message for how to install/setup flatpack caused me some initial errors. Instructions here: https://flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu/ However, it seems that even after doing the remote-add, I have no repositories. $ flatpak remotes Name Options flathub system I assume there should be something listed there. Or maybe that's all there is - it doesn't show the URL or anything else? A search for "chirp" returned no results. So, I ended up just downloading the flatpak file from https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/ And then installing it from my local storage flatpak install {download_path}/chirp-daily-20200909.flatpak When I go to the flathub website and search for chirp, it returns no results. This matches of course not being able to install directly. A search for "gimp" does return results, on both the website and the flatpak command line. Considering the discussion I've seen on the mailing list archives re. migration of chirp to Python3, and that I'm fed up with Ubuntu (multiple reasons), what distro would be a good one to consider for retaining full Python2 support for a while? Or is this a futile endeavour? (I'm currently pondering Arch, but might consider Gentoo.) Thanks to previous posters for getting me back running. One less problem with Ubuntu for me to bang my head against. :) -- Jed - KD0YMG - https://irgclub.org/ "... we have done as much with wireless telegraphy as is likely to be done."; Sir William Preece, 1891

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5r with Chirp
by Robert Barker 08 Sep '20

08 Sep '20

I'm a new user so don't kill me. I just got a Baofeng UV5-R and have a few questions about Chirp. On the settings tab on the left it has 6+Power-On Message 1 and 6+Power-On Message 2 and then it has Power-On Message 1 and Power-On Message 2 and then it has Power-On Message choice of full or message. What is what? Which is the message i see when I power on and what is the other one and what's the difference between Full or Message? I wanted to put an IF Found and my phone number in there but i guess it only allows 7 digits is that right? I'm programming this like a scanner so i'm most interested in Scanning. I'm still confused about the 2 frequencies on the display. if I'm scanning and then freq below has activity, they radio doesn't receive it.. so it's like why is it even there? Maybe i'm doing it wrong.

[chirp_users] Posted as a Bug...or maybe it's not?
by Sandy Bressler 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

I can setup my channels on the computer and print out a screenshot of what I have done. Then I send the data to my radio and it is successful for everything but the DUPLEX settings of - or +. I have tripled checked what Chirp says I wrote to the radio and it doesn't match what I see when I look thru the MENU option of 25. For example, Channel 18 should be - and on my Chirp setting it says that...but when I check the radio MENU setting (manually) it shows +. The worst part is that if I change it manually...then it changes OTHER channels. It only seems to be a problem for the Duplex setting...the frequency remains ok, as does offsets. Also, I follow strict guidelines to turn the radio off and on and be sure it's on VFO mode when I activate CHIRP etc. Am I missing a setting to LOCK IN a DUPLEX - or + perhaps?? Sandy

[chirp_users] Python 3 port
by Greg Shuflin 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

Hi, I'm a relatively new user of Chirp. I like the software and I'm interested in contributing to porting it to Python3. I notice that there's a py3 branch that hasn't had any new commits since February. I spend some time trying to get that branch to run on my system without success, and I'm not sure if it's expected to work in either Python2 or Python3 at this point. In any case, what's the best way to contribute to moving it to Python3? Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

[chirp_users] Enable the Settings Tab in CHIRP?
by Benjamin 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

Hello, I've been looking at some of the CHIRP tutorials on YT, and I notice that some radios like the Baofeng UV5R have a settings tab where global radio options can be set. I've set up CHIRP to work with a Yaesu VX-120 (using the vx-170 menu option - only a keypad difference between the two models) and can download\upload without issue, but I was wondering if I should be seeing a settings tab on the left. Not all radios seems to have this tab. Is it an optional developer feature, or can it be enabled? Nothing in the user manuals on this unless I've missed it. Either way, I like the software. Thanks.

[chirp_users] 20200827 flatpak out of date?
by Tom Consodine 30 Aug '20

30 Aug '20

I'm running Linux Mint 20 and decided to try the flatpak version of Chirp for the first time. I downloaded and installed the .flatpak file from https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/ which was 20200827 but when I ran Chirp it showed the version as 20200807 and said there is a later version available. Does the web site have the wrong file or something? Tom ND5Y
