[chirp_users] Chirp and IC-T70
by Kenneth Bell 13 Sep '19

13 Sep '19

Hi Chirp says it will work with the IC-T70, but I’m not able to make it work. My symptoms are that I am able to download from the radio without any problem. When I try to send to the radio, it hangs up and does a reset back to factory settings. I have posted a bug, but after a month no one seems to be looking at it. Is there anyone who HAS made Chirp work with IC-T70? Could you tell me the name of the cable you use? Is your IC-T70 an A model or a E model (US OR Europe, I think). What version of Chirp are you using (I’m trying with the latest). Using Mac or PC? Version of Windows? Is there anything special you do to make it work? Thank you in advance. Ken - K4EES

[chirp_users] HELP!
by Ted Smith 07 Sep '19

07 Sep '19

Hi, You guys probably get this all the time, but now it’s my turn. I have been using CHIRP with my Baofeng radios for the past couple of years with no problem. I recently had to upgrade my Mac OS to 10.11. Now I can’t get CHIRP to talk to my radios. I assume it is because the drivers are wrong or something. I have tried downloading the Prolific drivers. No luck so far. There used to be a pl2303 option on the drop down menu when I was uploading/ downloading. It isn’t there anymore. I’m not sure what to do at this point. Please help, I’m begging. Thanks, -Ted Ted Smith Pikes Peak Paragliding, LLC 2205 Charing Court Colorado Springs, CO 80919 info(a)PikesPeakParaGliding.com 719.761.1486 EIN: 81-4065089

[chirp_users] Baofeng A58S tri-band
by Nick G4IRX 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Hello Chirp list, Picked up a Baofeng A58S tri-band 144/220/430. There seem to a be a few variations of these tri-banders for sale in UK at present. Using CHIRP daily-20190829 which works with my other Baofeng radios. I am unable to get any of the Baofeng models to read the radio, I either get "Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want." or "Error reading data from radio". Are these models new and currently unsupported or is there something else I should be looking at? Thanks, Nick.

[chirp_users] VX-170 download but no upload
by Michal Smialowski 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

I am able to download from the VX-170 but not upload. I take it that the same "clone" mode is used for download and upload. I note that the data for Rx and Tx go through the same pin on the 4 pin yaesu connector. I assume that the Rx and Tx data alternate on the same line because it is shared. Question: When uploading to the radio , does the software need to Tx and Rx to/from the PC to the radio or does it just Tx from PC to radio ? ie is there handshaking involved or just a steady transmit stream from the PC to the radio? tnx Mike VE7SML

Thanks Tony, Not having the cable attached was the key. Didn't know that. Thanks. Didn't find that in the instructions. Didn't know that was not legal. Have to use them differently than I had envisioned. Puzzling that the FCC allowed them to be made that way.

[chirp_users] Problems with PMR446 frequencies
by Ulrich Heidenreich 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

At first many thanks for the good work the delevopers have done programming that chirp'y thing. It works fine till today. I just wanted to move a block of PMR446 fequencies, which I have sucessfully entered in my YAESU VX6 and then uploaded it from the radio to chirp. But chirp refuses to cut (that works) and paste (that doesn't work) these frequencies from one to another location: It says, this frequencies requires a 6,25 kHz step which is not supported by the radio. That's correct though, because the step really is 12,5 kHz and supported. But the first channel ist shifted by 6,25 kHz as if there seemes to be a 6,25 kHz frequency grid: 446,00625 MHz 446,01875 MHz 446,03125 MHz … and so on Obviously that plays a trick on chirp, so it won't write such frequencies. Do I have a chance other than program these 16 channels anew at another location in the radio and upload them again? As I'm german and my english isn't quite good, excuse my bad english and answer in simply english too, please. Regards, Ulrich

I download the CHIRP freeware to my Mac and started entering repeater locations. I saved the file on my computer. I have the programming cord attached from my Mac to radio. However, I can't download to my radio because that option is not available (shaded). Is CHIRP available as a website, so I can download my lists from there to my radio? Thanks for your help. You can also tell me the month, year and thread that you answered this question before.

[chirp_users] Working get my Baofeng UV5R
by whippet＠whippetracing.org 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

Trying I'm trying to get my Baofeng UV5R to talk to my Motorola TalkAbout FRS radio. Initially trying on Channel 5 and security code 5, Frequency 462.6625 and CTCSS 79.7. The light on the Baofeng lights up indicating incoming signal when the Talkabout is keyed. The Talkabout gets a loud noise when the Baofeng is keyed. However, no talk is heard on either. Attached is a screen shot of the current CHIRP set up. Any suggestions? Thanks, Gregg Gammie Yo Quiero Libertad!! Whippet(a)WhippetRacing.org Viva el Insurgente!

[chirp_users] "offline programming"
by Michal Smialowski 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

When using CHIRP on a Yaesu VX-170, is it necessary to have the radio connected to the computer in order to modify the programming? I have a VX-170 that I field programmed. I downloaded the radio to CHIRP> I disconnected the radio then tried to modify the programming. Specifically, tried deleting a channel with the "move memory up" option. When I did that a message came up "searching for memory"... ( or something close to that). Then the program got hung up. Is this true for other radios as well ? Tnx Mike VE7SML

[chirp_users] MacOS only odd Issue with Wouxun KG-UV8D+ and KG-UV8E / KG-UV8T
by Mermaid 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

Throwing it out there to see if anyone have experienced something this strange, and specific before I submit an official bug report. Chirp will hang in MacOs upon successfully uploading its settings to these radios. The system will behave as if if the serial device (/dev/cu.serial) isn't being closed properly. Killing the Chirp task will yield zombie Python processes that cannot be killed. A hard reboot is required to restore functionality, and graceful shutdown is not possible. I’m pretty convinced it is an interaction between MacOS and the Wounux CHIRP drivers as I have throughly try to reproduce this issue with a number of different radios, and the hanging only happens with the KG-UV8* radios. I was able to reproduce this issue on two other MacOS system as well. One running High Sierra and the other Mojave. So that rule out it is a fluke of a single machine being quirky. Reinstalling KK7DS R10 runtime did not help Updating Prolific USB serial drives did not help Other platforms tested without issues: Windows 10 Windows 7 in a VM under MacOs High Sierra Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi 3B Radios tested without issues using the same systems listed above: Baofeng UV82HP BTech UV25X4 Yaesu FT-817 Since the Wouxun KG-UV8D+ and KG-UV8E / KG-UV8T, are based on the same parent driver codes, its likely that it is another bug Inherited. What I really haven’t figured out is why all of a sudden this had become an issue, as I didn’t have the hanging problem in the past. It almost seems like it’s something similar to a time counter related Y2K type bug. I’ve BCCed Mr Panye since he’s probably the most knowledgeable person on this driver. Regards, Lynda W5EGL

I'm using Ubuntu Mate on my laptop to run chirp. I keep getting an error: “Errno could not open serial port /dev/ttyUSB0. Errno permission denied /dev/ttyUSB0” I can open a terminal and type in "sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0" and it solves the issues for that session. But, the next time I boot up the laptop, I have to plug in the cable, then go to the terminal and re-do the chmod command. Is there a way to get that to stick permanently? Thanks! Monte

[chirp_users] UV-5RIII Programming issue
by NT4K JC 18 Aug '19

18 Aug '19

New to this list and having a problem programming my UV-5RIII - Tri-band BaoFeng, 2m/1.25cm/70cm. I downloaded the latest version of Chirp and did a download from the radio for a template. When entering a 1.25cm frequency I receive a pop-up. (Error setting memory: Frequency 224.820000 is out of supported range, Tx freq 223.220000 is out of supported range.) The radio had a few 220MHz frequencies preprogrammed in memory. Chirp will not let me change one of them to my desired frequencies. When using a new, default template I receive the same error. I've tried importing the desired frequencies from a .csv file to an .img file and get the same error. It's possible Chirp is not recognizing the radio. The UV-5RIII is not listed as a UV5R variant. Although, the Chirp software settings downloaded from the radio indicate the "VHF Lower limit: 136Mhz" and the "VHF Upper limit: 260MHz" Never had an issue with other UV-5R or the UV-82X Any help is appreciated. Thanks 73 NT4K JC Pluto 1930 - 2006. Orbit in Peace,

[chirp_users] DPL data from Motorola into Baofeng UV5R
by Clark W. Nicholls 15 Aug '19

I have 10 channels from a Motorola SP50 I would like to program into my UV5r (and other radios) using CHIRP I don't see where to input DPL other than perhaps DTCS as it has the 205 number I'm looking for in the pull down menu. In which case, what do I choose for the DTCS Pol field? NN shows up by default. In the Motorola, 205 was the DPL for both transmit and receive. I have the frequencies from the radios I read using the SP50 Motorola software. Clark Clark W. Nicholls "Reality, it's not what you think."

*From: John HigbyIs there a way to change the LOC number/order in an downloaded document (Yaesu VX-3R) via Chirp ? My Frequencies are in a random order. I would like them in ascending order. John John,I noticed in my version of chirp (only a week old) I can highlight a row by clicking on the row header, right click and select move up or move down one row at a time. The same can be done from the keyboard using Ctrl+up or Ctrl+down, for several rows at a time, and you can use shift to select several rows. Often if you use Excel and try to sort based on one value, it will ask if you want to extend the selection, but it doesn't always sort the entire row.

Well, actually, CSV *DOES* stand for Comma Separated Variables. If anybody uses a different character to separate the variables, e.g. semi-colon, then the data file is not CSV, it is something else. Using CSV to refer to any data file that uses a specific character to separate the variables (except Comma, of course) is on a par with referring to all vacuum cleaners as Hoovers, all analogue multimeters as Avo's, etc. Cheers All, Clarence ________________________________ From: chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> on behalf of chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Sent: 30 July 2019 19:00 To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Subject: chirp_users Digest, Vol 127, Issue 14 Send chirp_users mailing list submissions to chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com You can reach the person managing the list at chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of chirp_users digest..."

Re: [chirp_users] CHIRP won't recognize .csv file
by Dave B 30 Jul '19

30 Jul '19

Re:- .CSV dowsn't mean that the correct fields are included or in the correct order, or that the field headers are there, or that the fields are seperated by commas and not some other character. ~ ~ ~ Er... CSV stands for "Comma Separated Variable". So, the data fields /will/be separated by a comma ',' However, the nature of the field contents, and the order they are in, are not part of the CSV format, that IS application specific. Line ends can be whatever the native system expects/can handle, but again, that can cause things to fall over too. CHIRP (and many other similar CSV aware data munchers) are a bit fragile in this respect, but to harden CHIRP against unexpected stuff, would be a major undertaking. Some locale's too, use the comma as a decimal separator, so that can mess things up if you create such a file outside of CHIRP. 73 Dave G0WBX. -- Created on and sent from a Unix like PC running and using free and open source software:

[chirp_users] jetstream jt270m on win10
by Patricia Wilson 30 Jul '19

30 Jul '19

I cannot figure out how to get my radio to download to chirp. I have CHIRP daily-20190703 installed and the usb cable going to the mic input on the radio. I suspect that win10 doesn't like whatever chip there is in the cable but would appreciate suggestions to try before I get another cable (from the known good list). -- Patricia Wilson Apache Junction, AZ Member NRA, ARRL WB8DXX (Extra)

[chirp_users] CHIRP won't recognize .csv file
by Dave C 29 Jul '19

29 Jul '19

I just got a new mobile, a YAESU FTM-7250. Since CHIRP doesn't support this radio yet, also I bought a programming cable and software from RT Systems. This afternoon I built a big (100 plus lines) file with a lot of local and regional repeaters and simplex channels and successfully downloaded it to the new radio, and it all works fine. I then saved the file as a .CSV file so I could import it into CHIRP and load it into my other radios. Unfortunately, when I try to import the .CSV file into CHIRP it tells me the file isn't recognized. I saved the file in .CSV format both from the RT Systems software and from an Open Office spreadsheet and neither will load. I haven't had any trouble loading other .CSV files into CHIRP in the past so I'm mystified as to why this one won't work. Any help would be appreciated. thanks Dave KG7HBQ

[chirp_users] Mac OS 10.15 Catalina (beta) and CHIRP
by Coyote 28 Jul '19

28 Jul '19

Greetings, Currently doing the Catalina beta program, and have discovered after installing it, CHIRP will no longer run. Did reinstall the Python Runtime as I have had to do with other updates, but this time CHIRP will only pop up in the Dock for a second or two and then quit. No error messages thrown. Anyone here doing the beta and have managed to get CHIRP to work? — Coyote

Re: [chirp_users] Yaesu 3200D and RT Systems cable problem
by Jan Ditzian 27 Jul '19

27 Jul '19

I appreciate the answers to my query. The discussion suggests that the cable should work with Chirp, and my findings suggest that it does, to some extent. If someone has figured out how I can either avoid or circumvent the error message and unwillingness of Chirp to work with the data, I would appreciate that. Nigel's message contained an attachment that did not come through to me; I do not know why. This might have my answer. Nigel can e-mail me direct at KX2A(a)arrl.net.. 73, Jan, KX2A

[chirp_users] Yaesu FTM-3200D
by Kenneth Strom VA3KRS 27 Jul '19

27 Jul '19

Regarding programming the Yaesu FTM-3200D, I use the RT Systems ADMS-M3200/3207 software & USB-29F cable. The radio cannot communicate with CHIRP directly, nor can it read the CSV file I created from their software using all the correct settings. Tried every method(s) and did not work.

Your cable is probably not seated correctly in the radio. You may need to shave some of the plastic around the connector to get it. Common with some cables.

[chirp_users] Programming Baofeng UV-9
by William Thompson 24 Jul '19

24 Jul '19

I'm helping a group program their new radios. They have Baofeng UV-9, not 9R, but UV-9. There are no manufacture labels except in the battery compartment. It appears to be a UV-5R variant as it incorporates the Kenwood standard 2-pin plug and a 5R spkr-mic works with the radio. I'm using the same cable that I use with my 5R but the radio fails to respond to Chirp no matter what radio model I use in the Baofeng and BTECH listings. Is there a preferred for this radio. By the way, it doesn't show a firmware version on power-up. 73, William

[chirp_users] Can't Upload to BTech VV-5X3
by Dave Hartman 22 Jul '19

22 Jul '19

I don't know if this is a Chirp issue or a winDOZE 10 issue. Back in March 2019 things worked great. Today 7/21/19 I downloaded the chirp-daily-20190718-installer.exe and attempted to install it. I got several unable to write file errors. So I downloaded it again and tried to install again but with the same problem. So I uninstalled it, and installed the chirp-daily-20190319-installer which had worked just fine last last March. Again no joy. With either version I can download from the radio without issue but just can't upload to it. Next I'm going to uninstall it again, using Revo Uninstaller reboot my machine, and try it again with my Wouxun KG-UVD1P. If anyone has had this problem, please let me know how you solved it.

I have a Kenwood TM-V7A connected to a Mac Mini running OS X Mojave 10.14.5. The cable has a FT232R USB UART chip. I downloaded the latest driver from FTDI and the latest Daily Build. The computer sees the cable, but CHIRP does not. Download from radio says no file. All was working fine before the Mojave upgrade. Help? Bill sends.
