Hi Robert, The gating factor is usually the radio. If none of the developers has one, or has access to one, that makes it very difficult to assess what's needed in the driver, and impossible to test any code that's written. This is why you'll see an "equipment loan offered" field in the issue tracker. Martin. KD6YAM On Wed, Jul 29, 2020 at 12:19 PM robert.m.shaw <robert.m.shaw(a)verizon.net> wrote: > Martin, > > Thanks.

[chirp_users] Installing Chirp on a 20.04 system.
by wa0sbu＠kslimmer.com 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

I hope this helps, and doesn't confuse too much. I have tested this procedure on several of my systems. Hopefully I didn't skip something. You don't need to download Python 2.7 from the Python WEB page, or download the flatpak. Its in Focals,(20.04)Repositories. These are all terminal commands, don't use the quotes. "sudo apt install python2" will install 2.7 "ls -ls /usr/bin/python*" will list your versions of python installed. In my case 2.7 and 3.8 Add the Chirp repository: "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots" Update: "sudo apt update" Next Step from The Chirp WEB page: "sudo apt-get install chirp-daily" Returns an error. "E: Unable to locate package chirp-daily" In terminal, open your file manager as sudo. I use Xubuntu, so I use "Sudo thunar" Your command will match your desktop. Using mousepad, or text editor, Edit, "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/dansmith-ubuntu-chirp-snapshots-focal.list" Change: "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu focal main" to: "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu bionic main" "sudo apt update" "sudo apt-get install chirp-daily" Another error: "The following packages have unmet dependencies" And a list of 4 of them. Download the first missing file: "https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/python-libxslt1/download" Save it, don't open it. "cd Downloads" "sudo dpkg -i python-libxslt1_1.1.29-5ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb" Another error: "sudo apt install -f" "sudo apt-get install chirp-daily" Now we are down to 3 missing dependencies.

[chirp_users] Ubuntu 20.04: no installation candidate
by teslas_moustache 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

Hi I'm trying to install Chirp on ubuntu 20.04. I've added the PPA and updated my repos, but chirp is still unavailable. I tried changing the repo from "focal main" to "bionic main" just to see if it works, but that results in unresolvable dependencies. It looks like no .deb file is available for AMD64. http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu/pool/main/c/chirp-… Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[chirp_users] Ft-817 no longer connecting
by mason fann 26 Jul '20

26 Jul '20

I have used CHIRP a few months ago to program my Yaesu FT-817ND with no problems. It no longer seems to work. I get the "Failed to communicate with radio: Radio did not ack block 0". This happens on upload. Download just causes the radio to show "Clone Mode Error". The cable works as I tested it with Maclogger and all functions worked. CHIRP also works with a Kenwood HT I tested. I have tried with Daily-20200107 that i was using last time and Daily-20200718 builds. Same error. Any ideas on what I can try next? Thanks K0MAS

I'm sure by now that you are aware that Linux Mint has gone to 20 and if I understand it right they have changed Pkg bases. Are there plans to upgrade chirp to work with this or should we hold off for now? Just curious as I still have one laptop that I have not upgraded for this reason. Thanks for any info you can give. 73 Joel k4dkx

[chirp_users] Error using CHIRP with my AnyTone AT778-UV
by Tony Moriarty 19 Jul '20

19 Jul '20

Hi. Firstly, although I've used Chirp for years, this is the first time I've used this forum - please be patient with me! I was delighted to discover recently that Chirp now supports the Anytone 778-UV - I've had one for a while, and the "other" software available for it was rather limited. Anyway, having downloaded the latest daily build and attempted to read the radio, I'm getting an error message that includes the text : "Radio version not in allowed list for AnyTone-778UV: 000: 49 41 54 37 37 38 55 56 IAT778UV 008: 01 56 31 30 30 00 00 06 .V100..." It appears that Chirp is correctly interacting with the radio via the relevant com port, but doesn't like what the radio tells it. Since there doesn't seem to have been a rash of issues raised on this subject, I didn't want to raise it as a bug report till I'd made enquiries here. My PC runs an up-to-date installation of Windows 10 The debug file includes the following (I've chopped out lines that don't seem relevant!): [2020-07-19 08:50:02,053] chirp.logger - DEBUG: CHIRP daily-20200718 on WinVista/7 (Python 2.7.10) . . .

Hi All, Hoping someone here will be able to help. Ubuntu 16.43, and I'm trying to import a CSV file that I have used on my Baofengs, onto a new radio. It is a Wouxun KG UV 7D. I selected the 6D in the radio list in the Chirp radio selection, since when looking for the manual at the Wouxun site, I contacted them looking for the manual and they suggested I use the 6D manual, because the only difference is the power. So the 6D selection should work in Chirp, it would seem. My radio is the 2 & 6 meter model. One thing it says is that I have an error on line 74, and I looked at that with Libra Office and couldn't find any problem. But it leaves out a local repeater channel that normally goes right into a Baofeng with Chirp, and it also left out the 6 meter channels I put in. The channel numbers are there, but no values in the fields. If anyone has any ideas, or can look over my CSV file, I would much appreciate it. Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Python 3? GTK3?
by Greg Troxel 13 Jul '20

13 Jul '20

I and a few others are working on updating the chirp package in pkgsrc from the last release to a daily snapshot. That caused me to look at our package, and I see that it depends on py-gtk2, which in pkgsrc is marked as python 2.7 only. In general we're trying to have packages be able to build with python 3 when that's doable. I went to see if we were missing a py-gtk update that let it use python 3, and we have the last PyGTK release from upstream 2.24.0 that actally has source code. I don't understand 2.24.2 but that seems to be windows installers only and no sources. https://pypi.org/project/PyGTK/#history FWIW, pkgsrc's current dependencies are: $ pkg_info chirp Information for chirp-20200622: Comment: Tool for programming Amateur Radio HTs Requires: py27-serial>=2.7 desktop-file-utils>=0.10nb1 python27>=2.7.1nb2 py27-libxml2>=2.6.27 py27-gtk2>=2.24.0nb33 I looked in the unpacked daily src tarball and didn't find a README that explained what dependencies are required for chirp. So I wonder: Are people using py-gtk2 with python 3? Is there some other py-gtk2 I should be finding? Is there any option to use py-gobject, or some other gtk bindings instead? Is there any option to use gtk3 instead? Is anything on the dependency list above spurious/missing? 73 de n1dam

not sure how to reply to messages, not seen a forum like this before.. on in my Chirp i select radio BF-A58S is 'settings' and then 'other settings' i have VHF lower limit 136Mhz upper limit 174Mhz UHF lower limit 400mhz upper limit 520Mhz i can't see anything which mentions 200Mhz to 260Mhz ?? hence why i'm unsure that if i start adding 220Mhz channels and such like that when i try to upload it'll either deny them or brick the radio.. yes i have half a dozen already programmed in by the factory, but also all the 220 channels and a couple of UHF have a \ next to them where it's meant to say channel name..

[chirp_users] BF-A58S Tri-band and Chirp
by Mark Thompson 11 Jul '20

11 Jul '20

Just bought a Tri-band version of the A58S, and although Chirp downloads from radio in either A58, A58S or even UV-5R-XYZmk3Turbo whatever it is. when i download the radios stock configuration i see VHF and UHF frequencies including 220Mhz. but Chirp only says this radio is VHF and UHF and not 220Mhz. so when i download all seems good. configuration only shows as dual band. my issue is although i can ad 220Mhz frequencies to the memories, i dare'nt upload in case the radio goes to VHF and UHF only and i lose the 220Mhz. will it lose 220Mhz if i upload as a dual band and not tri-band ?? wil the tri-band frequencies install although Chirp say's it's dual band ?? any one ?? thanks.. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

[chirp_users] Update on ANYTone 7787uv no TX on UHF
by John KI4RO 09 Jul '20

09 Jul '20

Well, I've been pecking away at it and finally solved the mystery. At first it would seem to have been some kind of antenna issue so I switched over to my Arrow and had the same results....about 1 microsecond of TX and then gone. This all seemed to have started after I first loaded the memories using CHIRP. I didn't deliberately change any parameter that would stop TX on UHF but apparently there is one. I went to Function Memory 18 which allows the rig to be reset in one of two ways. The first way is a complete reset of every parameter and clearing the memories back to factory default. The second way will clear the parameters and leave the memories in tact. That was the way that finally let me start transmitting again on UHF. I am unable, at this time, to see these parameters but obviously something had to go back to factory default. hi hi Had to make a run to Huntington WV today and, of course, no one answered with whom I could try out the rig hi hi Maybe next time 73 John KI4RO

Hi. I recently purchase a Baojie BJ-318 that is not supported by Chirp yet, but I did get the software for it. Unfortunately it is cludgy and does not import or cut/paste line by line either, but I wanted to provide a dropbox link for it for anybody who got the radio without software or for Chirp reverse engineering, if possible.

Hi everyone and I hope that all are healthy!! I have a Baofeng BF-F8HP radio I am having a minor problem with. I hope someone has seen this problem and found the correction for it. Baofeng BF-F8HP Comm channel 3 Use Chirp “Radio” – “Query Data Source” – “Repeater Book” – “RepeaterBook political query – “State (VA)” – “County “Cheaspeake” – “Band (2 meters) Once that is all input, I get this “error”………….No data found If I do the same but use “County (All)” I get 163 repeater listings. I can import those successfully but I would much rather just use repeaters in my area of operation. Any suggestions?? Thanks, Kenny L KD4HQQ Sent from Mail for Windows 10

[chirp_users] Radioddity QB25
by Byron Boggs 24 Jun '20

24 Jun '20

I purchased the QB25 with hopes of installing it in my pickup truck. I have two programming cables for it, the one that came with the radio and an FTDI cable that I purchased recently. My problem us error messages. Depending on the port configuration, I get an error message that states it failed to identify the radio, OR the it failed to enter the clone mode. I have tried other variants of this radio like the QTY7900. I have tried Windows 10 and an old laptop with Windows XP. Same error message on either operating system. Searching through requests I see others have experienced the same issue. I have clicked on the post for that issue but it doesn't do anything and I am at a loss as to what I need to do. I have used Chirp to program the little UV5R units without issue. Suggestions will be greatly appreciated Byron Kc8ue Sent from Byron Boggs kc8ue(a)hotmail.com

[chirp_users] Wouxun UV-KG2UV
by Kenneth Strom VA3KRS 21 Jun '20

The Wouxun UV-KG2d radios are: FCC-Certified: WYTWOUXUN04 I own 3 plus a UV-KG3d. Reason bought them as they are FCC-Certified. If you managed to clone them and no Transmit, just enter the TX Frequency and PL Tone (if applicable) in the correct box. And please save the Image File. If you are re-programming multiple radios you can use a cloning cable or simply program them one by one. If unsure, as the Company must have the FCC licenses handy you should find them and read them as they would have the frequencies allocated. A Licensed Amateur radio operator can use one of these radios also on any Amatuer frequency. Not anyone else, only to listen. Besides, they are business radios for work only.

[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV2d will not transmit
by Richard K Parrish 21 Jun '20

21 Jun '20

I programmed the KG-UV2d to operate in the 155 and 460 range. When I key the PPT I get a tone but the transmit light does not come on. It does transmit on the VFO frequencies. I did a reset and re programmed, no change. Any suggestions? Richard K.

David - your write up was thorough. I have been reading the FAQs and Beginner's Guide before my post, but I will check again and I will dissect your notes as well. Nigel - That is a great question, as I do know that we have a license, but I don't know the answer. We bought the VX261s from a dealer, but they are unable to program the smaller radios for us since they were not purchased through them. I will look into the license conditions. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. The error message I am receiving when I go to upload the frequencies to a new R22 is: image.png Any known reason this would happen? Deeply appreciate the knowledge share, Becky On Thu, Jun 18, 2020 at 12:18 PM Nigel A.

In any case, she, as an amateur programmer, needs to understand the license conditions under which they will be used. @Becky, can you help us by giving the exact error message(s) you received when programming your Retevis radios?

Have new radio and this specific model does not appear on the list when setting up to clone the radio. I have tried every model on the list and I get same result "Radio did not respond. I can see the USB Serial Port (Com3) installed and the USB Serial Converter pops up when the connector cable is installed . (I did install largest drivers.) So as the "newer" radio not listed am I just out of luck or what? I bought cable from BTECH and downloaded CHIRP from WWW.Baofengtech.com/download as instructed. Chris Luppens

Hello, I am new to this. I installed Chrip on a Mac (the latest daily build yesterday). I was unable to download from the GMRS-V1. I was given an error the that length of data did not match expected. Is this a known issue? Is there a work-around? Did I do something incorrectly? Thanks in advance, Aric
