Out Of Supported Range Error for BaoFang UV-5RH Pro Max
by robboere＠hotmail.com 17 Nov '24

17 Nov '24

I'm currently setting up a UK-5RH Pro Max which is able to monitor around 6 frequency bands as well as having the FM Radio function available on many UV-5Rs. I've been trying to set-up a number of additional FM radio frequencies in the range of 88.8 MHz to 107.5 MHz for stations in and around London here in the UK. These frequencies can for the most part be found on the FM radio function, but they can't be named with the built in FM radio scanner - so was seeking to create these as a set of defined channels in my configuration file. I have created these as a CSV and have loaded them into Chirp as a CSV import. However I don't seem to be able to insert them into the configuration file for the handset. Unfortunately, I receive the message "Some memories are incompatible with this radio" and specific errors such as "Frequency 96.400000 is out of supported range" for all 60 that I'm trying to insert. I have added other frequencies from 108 MHz onwards and there are absolutely no problems with these - so am sure that the method I'm using to add these is correct. It seems to just be the question around adding any frequencies below 108 MHz and the Chirp configuration and/or the Radio not accepting them. I've checked the radio and I can scan all of the ranges outlined below, so the radio is capable of receiving on those ranges: - 65-108 MHz FM RX - 108-136 MHz AM RX AM Air Receiving Only - 136-174 MHz FM TX/RX - 220-260 MHz FM TX/RX - 350-390 MHz FM RX - 400-480 MHz FM TX/RX - 480-520 MHz FM RX I have used both the Baofeng UV-5RH and Baofeng 5RM but neither of these allow these frequencies to be added to the listing. I was keen to have FM radio channels with names and direct selection via the channel selection capability, but it seem that this isn't possible. It means that I'd need to scan anywhere where I am and hope to guess what the radio station is. Would anyone know why the software (or Radio/Profile) isn't allowing me to add these frequencies?

No response from radio error
by Ramon Jones 16 Nov '24

16 Nov '24

I have searched the archive and could not find an answer. I just purchased a Btech FTDI programming cable. I have been unable to use this cable with the CHRIP programming software, I get a "No response from radio" error message when I try to read any Baofeng radio. I have multiple UV-5R and BF-888s radios, I have tried programming on 3 different computers using Windows 7, 10 and 11 with the same problem! When I look at the device manager, everything looks correct on all 3 computers. If I try using the BF-888 software on the BF-888s radio everything works as it should! Do you have any suggestions to fix this problem?

Yaesu vs. Baofeng/TYT band memories
by Massimo Nespolo 11 Nov '24

11 Nov '24

Greetings, Two amateurs groups need to build up a common group. One has Yaesu FT-4x, the other Baofeng or TYT. Chirp supports both. However, it does not seem possible to past or export-import the band memories from one model to the other - at least I couldn't figure out how to do it. Is there a way, or one has to retype everything by hand? Thank you in advance. Massimo

Export to CSV failing when no row selected

I have an Icom-7100. I can download from the radio OK. There are two cases where the export to CSV fails. 1) If no rows are selected. 2) if row 0 and other rows are selected.

Out of Band Memories
by John Cox 05 Nov '24

I'm trying to load memories from a .csv file into a TS-480HX that has been modified for MARS use. Frequencies in the ham bands load fine, but none of the MARS frequencies are being accepted. I know it's not the rig because these frequencies have been in the radio memories before. Any ideas? Thanks, John *John C.

Baofeng AR-152 power levels damaged by CHIRP?
by Ceferino Lamb 01 Nov '24

01 Nov '24

I found this thread on mygmrs forum about the AR-152 and the effect CHIRP allegedly has on it. It's quite a good thread. I didn't get any hits on RadioReference when I just searched. In a nutshell, it says that once you run CHIRP on your Baofeng AR-152. your power settings are permanently altered such that you no longer have low power or full power anymore. This post is from May and has been relatively quiet since. I wonder if it's still a risk? I have two 152s on the bench right now to program so I saw this post just in time to stop. Both have the firmware rev A152V01 indicated as problematic. I'm surprised the issue hasn't been discussed here. https://forums.mygmrs.com/topic/7377-calling-all-ar-152-owners/ -- //CRL Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

AR-5RM - Frequency in this range requires AM mode
by Scott Zettervall 29 Oct '24

29 Oct '24

When I enter or paste aviation frequencies, ex) 121.500 into memory I get the Warning: Some Memories are incompatible with this radio [700] Frequency in this range requires AM mode [701] Frequency in this range requires AM mode [703] Frequency in this range requires AM mode ... I simply click [OK] on the Warning and everything gets assigned to memory and I can clone into the AR-5RM just fine. The problem is the Warning is not necessary, the AR-5RM does support these frequencies/AM.

TYT TH9000D Plus support?
by Dean Jahnz 25 Oct '24

25 Oct '24

Will one of the TYT supported radios (TH9000_144, TH9000_220, TH9000_440) work with the TH9000D Plus? Apparently my friends have bad taste in radios and like to purchase units not supported in CHIRP :( In a related subject: Another popular TYT model (the TH8600, which is the only IP65 waterproof rated radio I know of) was being worked on about a year ago, but seems to have gone dead. Is there any plans to support that radio? It's a very popular model among those who use Ham comms in off-road vehicles that are exposed to the elements. I would be willing to send mine to anyone with the know-how to develop support for it. The factory programming software for it sucks!

Whine on trx Low Power in new batch of GT-3TP Baofengs
by Ceferino Lamb 22 Oct '24

22 Oct '24

I bought several new GT-3TP and so far those tested have a whine on trx when running Low power. Audio quality is also inferior to numerous older GT-3TPs we run on the ranch. In the past I'd noticed this whine on a batch of new UV-5Rs I programmed for a friend. The advice back then was that the newer HTs had some differences, and to turn off Battery Saver in CHIRP Setting/Basic Settings to reduce that whine. I never tested that theory. But setting Battery Saver to Off doesn't remove my Low Power whine (recall that the GT-3TP is FCC type UV-5R, CHIRP Model BF-F8HP). So I have a couple of questions for the group: 1) Any other ideas on how to remove that whine on trx? 2) Is Battery Saver worth using at all? Some on RadioReference say it's of no use. For now my workaround is to run M Power (4w) if the whine is too annoying. But I prefer to run Low unless more is needed. Reno K7CRL -- //CRL Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

I use two parameters under "Setting/Other Settings" to display my CHIRP version level and my call sign on boot: Power-On Message 1 used to display on the 1st line Power-On Message 2 used to display on the 2nd line (both briefly on boot) Now, neither works. "GT-3" displays on the 1st line "MARK III" displays on the 2nd line And the 6+Power-On Message settings seem to also be ignored. They are also greyed out in CHIRP, cannot be changed. Anybody BTDT?

John: A very logical question. No only do I have the NWS 6 or 7 broadcast channels, I also have the two Skywarn channels for my home area, as well as some Fire and EMS dispatch channels in my home area. This 'odd' group allows me to move around the state (in Florida) and not have to specifically program or dial to the specific channel.

Actually, Jim responded. I use the 5R, so I followed his instructions just to see the result. I stumbled a bit, because "scroll down to the Detailed Menu Reference" is really "Menu Definitions - Detailed", and my brain was programmed to skim for "Detailed". Persistence helped ;-) But sure enough, the answer is there. Thanks to you both. I updated my notes to "UV-5R scan options: TO=pause on channel; resume after preset time. CO=stop on carrier detect; resume when carrier drops. SE=stop on carrier detect; resumed by user." ...but it has been a while since I used scan on either of my 5R models, so I don't recall what happens with SE. I'll have to read the manual and test. Does it: 1. When SE is active and stopped on a channel, and the user presses SCAN, radios will pick up the scan at the channel point following, and resume scanning. 2. Go back to the beginning of the scan programmed list, and begin again. 3. Start the scan with the current channel, which may still be active. In this case, the user must manually step ahead, then press SCAN. ISTR that the 5R will resume scanning (SE mode) with the next scan channel, when the user triggers SCAN. ~R~ On 2024-10-09 20:35:, Gary Chesshir via Users wrote: >I haven't seen anyone answer your question. TO is stop on search and resume after preset time. Usually 5 sec. CO will stop when detects carrier and resume when carrier drops and SE will stop on signal and remain there until acted upon by user. > >Hope this helps you understand the 3 choices.

Once again the old Icom IC-W32E
by Libor Matous 02 Oct '24

Hello, please help. I have an Icom IC-W32E radio and the python file icw32.py works great. https://chirpmyradio.com/issues/280 But it does not support 12.5kHz tuning step. Would it be possible to add support for tuning step 12.5 kHz to the PY file?? Thank you Libor

UV-17 Pro, etc.
by Brian McCullough 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

I recently bought a Baofeng UV-17 Pro and it appears to be more or less completely functional. However, I can not seem to pursuade it to be programmed from my computer. I am running the Linux version of Chirp, latest, and using an FTDI programming cable. It has two lights on the USB end of the cable, and plugs in to the headphone and mike jacks on the radio. When I get everything plugged in properly, a green light shows up on the cable. I start Chirp, tell it I want to download from the radio and give it the correct port. ( The radio is on. ) I click the "Start" button, and the screen on the radio lights up, and then shows a picture of a "computer" along with the word "Program." However, shortly afterwards, that display goes away, and Chirp complains that it didn't get as much data as it expected. Any suggestions? Do I have the wrong cable, something else? Thanks, Brian

This is what I have done. I bought a few sets of 2.5 and 3.5 mm TRS extensions, so now I can connect to anything. I found that the mainstream radios had good, repeatable quality control, but the off brands, such as BTECH and BaoFeng had a lot of manufacturing slop. Seems funny, given that the idea of "mass production" is so old.

Errors with CHIRP
by John Oliver 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

I'm using chirp-20240926-py3-none-any.whl on an Ubunto 24.04.1 laptop. Starting and stopping CHIRP I get: joliver@blinky:~$ chirp 09:28:09 AM: Debug: Unrecognized accel key 'backspace', accel string ignored. Gdk-Message: 09:28:51.111: Window 0x5604aeca0880 is a temporary window without parent, application will not be able to position it on screen. (chirp:40948): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 09:28:51.114: gdk_wayland_window_handle_configure_popup: assertion 'impl->transient_for' failed joliver@blinky:~$ It seems to work just fine (except for my UV-5R8W frequently likes to complain about "can't contact radio" and I have to close CHIRP and restart and try again). Just thought these might be something that needed attention. Thanks for a great piece of software!

UV-5R vs. UV-5R8W
by John Oliver 29 Sep '24

29 Sep '24

CHIRP regards both radios as Baofeng UV5Rs, but the download from one can't be uploaded to the other. Is it possible to have them detected / treated differently? I'm happy to provide any uploads that might help.

Hello First thank you for CHIRP software. I wanted to know if adding support to Baofeng BF-T18 radio is planed?

Re: Users Digest, Vol 188, Issue 5
by Dave B 11 Sep '24

11 Sep '24

Hi All. Firstly good news, the 20240827 version of Chirp previously downloaded, has now installed with pipx without issue. (happy dance!) I took the advice bellow, and eventually (after first renaming/moving suspect folders etc "out of the way", and making sure nothing else broke.) Swamped out any remains of the older Python 3.9.x folders and data hiding in ~/.local I then removed the remnants of those experiments, again checking nothing else breaks. I next got "diverted" by other life needs, so it got forgotten about. The PC earlier today did a big OS (LMDE6) update, lots of lib's and files, and the kernel, after which of course I rebooted as it requested, no issues... I then noticed and read Jeffrey's mail below, so went and tried the pipx install again. Firstly, I'd forgotten I had uninstalled pipx earlier, so had to 'sudo apt install pipx' again, that completed, and appeared to be a clean install of pipx 1.1.0 That took "an age", from what I could tell of all the "stuff" flying up the terminal session, it did a prety good job of refreshing a lot of Python3 as well. (I have the archive of that output if anyone wants to examine it. A little over 11k of plain text.) I then did... (as a user, not using sudo) * * *dave@hp-compaq-sfdt*:*~*$ pipx install --system-site-packages ~/Downloads/chirp-20240827-py3-none-any.whl installed package*chirp* *20240827*, installed using Python 3.11.2 These apps are now globally available - chirp - chirpc - experttune done! ✨ 🌟 ✨ *dave@hp-compaq-sfdt*:*~*$ chirp And it all seems to work again. Chirp reports (using help | about) that it is :- CHIRP next-20240827 on Python 3.11.2 wxPython 4.2.0 gtk3 (phoenix) wxWidgets 3.2.2 MANY Thanks to all who contributed to the investigation. If it was something I did bad, I'd like to know please, If so, it might also be worth updating the chirp install instructions warning others not to do what I did wrong, if that was the case. Especially as there are often subtle but significant differences between different flavours of Linux. All the best etc. Dave G0WBX.
