[chirp_users] Wouxon KG-699E
by Pat Anderson 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

I have a Wouxon KG-699E, which is not listed as a radio supported by CHIRP. I think I programmed it with CHIRP, unless back in the day I had Wouxon's own programming software. So I tried to program the KG-699E with the CHIRP KG-816 driver, and it worked as far as download from and upload memories to radio. Setting tab is blank however. I assume the supported Wouxon radios would show something on the setting tab? So I am wondering if there ever has been a CHIRP driver for the KG-699E, and whether there ever will be?

[chirp_users] CHIRP ON LINUX,UNABLE TO FIND COM PORT FOR BAOFENG
by KBD99603 20 Apr '19

20 Apr '19

Hello everyone, I have a Baofeng BF-UVB3 8W radio. My computer is linux, running Ubuntu 18.10, the newest. I have CHIRP installed and running, but I am not able to find the COM port for my radio, connected via a USB programming cable. I have entered every terminal command line I could find info about on the internet, even one that showed me port numbers for connected devices, yet there is no port number or path that works for my radio. What COM port should I use? Thank You KBD99603 Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

[chirp_users] Baojie and Step problems
by Andreu Bassols Alcón 20 Apr '19

20 Apr '19

Hi, I'm a happy user of CHIRP with a Baofeng UV-5R! Now I've purchased another chinese radio, Baojie BJ-318. Chirp supports BJ-218 in fact I think is almost the same. Program works with it, downloads and uploads data. BUT I cannot specify, for example, a channel with a frecuency "145.2875" CHIRP says that "Error setting memory: Tuning step 12.50 not supported - Frequency requires 12.50khz step". Which is false, radio supports 6.5/12.5 steps and in fact MANUALLY you can save 145.2875. Is this a bug, or a feature? :-) Thank you!!! -- Andreu Bassols i Alcón http://about.me/anigwei

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-65R support in CHIRP daily-20190412
by emb sys dev 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

I just installed CHIRP daily-20190412, and was able to program my Yaesu FT-65R with my standard list of repeaters from a CSV exported from a QYT-8900D, which was itself previously programmed with CHIRP. Many thanks and mad props to Dan Clemmenson. I followed the developer list traffic on this with quite some interest, so I know Dan Clemmenson (and Dan Smith) put in a lot of effort to get this working. Much appreciated! At one point last year, not too long before Dan started working on it, I signaled that I was going to dig into it....but like many before me, time and circumstance intervened, and I never fully engaged on it. 73 de AE0BQ Darryl N

[chirp_users] can't figure out how to convert a csv file to an image file
by Scott Raines 13 Apr '19

13 Apr '19

Hey gang, I'll be the first one to admit it, I'm not a computer guru. I know how to navigate around here and there but, when it comes to technical stuff, I get lost pretty easy. I'm new to this site and I'm new to Chirp in general. I've asked a question or two so far on here and have been graciously answered. Well, I'm still trying to learn. I have a Yeasu VX-170 and a new Baofeng UV-5R 8 watt unit. I've managed to load a few frequencies onto the Baofeng and it's all good. But, a buddy just bought the same exact radio as mine and, I wanted to program his to the same frequencies, minus a few that wouldn't apply to him anyways. But, here's the deal. All of files I've saved are csv files. From my brief learning period, csv files CANNOT be uploaded to a radio, only IMG files can. Here's the problem. If I want to upload frequencies, they must be from an image file and, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to convert a csv file to an image file. I'm on about a 6 year old Dell Inspiron running Windows 8.1 on a solid state hard drive. I know, I know, Windows 8.1 is sort of old school but, the reason I have and use it is because, when I had the new SSHD installed, it was at a time when Windows 10 was brand new and many, many folks were not happy with it so, the company that was doing my computer rebuild asked me if I wanted to remain with Windows 8.1. I said, yep, keep it. So, that's the story on that. Now, how to convert a csv file to an image file so I can alter it and, then upload it to a radio. And please, please, I'm very low tech so, if you explain how to do it, do it as if you're talking to a senior citizen which, I am. Scott

It worked. Many modern HTs use a 3.3V serial interface, which is what the Pi0W exposes on its header pins. I just connected the Pi0W's RxD, TxD, and GND to the appropriate pins on the Baofeng UV-5RA. with 2K resistors in the RxD and TxD wires and just a straight wire for GND. It worked. CHIRP did take a very long time to get itself initrialized the first time. I think that is because the Pi0W is a slow single-CPU machine. For packet, I intended to use the Pi0W, running Direwolf, but I'm now shifting to the FriendlyArm NanoPi Duo, because is has on-board audio I/O which eliminates the need for a USB audio dongle. The NanoPi is also only about half the size of the Pi0W and it has four CPUs. The downside is that it is not as well supported, so I'm on my own for pretty much everything. I have CHIRP running on the NanoPi Duo now. I intend to see if I can build a CHIRP wire for my Yaesu FT-4.

[chirp_users] REPORT: Direct connect from Pi to Yaesu FT-4 succeeds
by Dan Clemmensen 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

The FT-4 also uses a 3.3v serial connection for programming, but it's 2-wire, meaning the Tx and Rx are both on the same wire, named DATA. I use the NanoPi Duo's serial port pins (Tx and Rx) and GND. The FT-4 presents GND on the 2.5mm MIC sleeve, and DATA on the 2.5mm MIC ring. I connected GND directly to Pi GND,Data directly to Pi RxD, and Pi via a 2K resistor to DATA. CHIRP successfully downloaded and uploaded. So, we have two worked examples of modern HTs directly connecting to the 3.3V serial ports of modern tiny SBCs.

After following instructions (battery off, DC and USB in (specifically the USB cable that came with), hold AMS key while powering on, select Download option, set the right options (/dev/ttyACM0, Yaesu FT-70D)), hit the BAND button so it says TX, and... ...no activity. It times out, radio shows ERROR. Long and short, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong here.

Thank you, did that, and used the ppa. Regardless, sudo apt-get remove chirp-daily, but left the Python libraries. Used wget to get today’s daily. Under the Help menu, it displays CHIRP daily-20190321 I have enabled the developer functions. I’ve tail -f /var/log/syslog to find any info. It shows what dmesg output when the cable was inserted.

[chirp_users] Radio did not respond Baofeng UV-82
by sam walton 20 Mar '19

20 Mar '19

I have searched and tried all the troubleshooting steps I can find online. I’ve made many attempts to get the chirp software to clone my Baofeng UV-82L. This is the latest. I’ve bought a second cable that seemed to be recommended by Miklor. Installed the latest chirp onto Ubuntu xfce. When I connect the cable into USB I see this via dmesg usb 1-2: new full-speed USB deice number 6 using ohci-pci New USB device found, idVendor=la86, idProduct=7523 New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Product: USB2.0-Serial ch341 1-2:1.0: ch341-uart converter detected usb 1-2: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0 That suggests to me that the computer recognizes the cable correctly and is assigned to USB0. Please correct me if I’ve made the wrong assesment. After booting the chirpw program I have connected the other plug into the two ports of the radio, turned on the radio, turned the sound up. Set to the upper band. Selecting USB0 Baofeng UV-82L Terminal reports Clone failed: Radio did not respond. I have done every possible way to wrench that plug into the radio to see if it can possibly connect on each attempt to get it to initially clone. Perhaps there’s something wrong with this three-year-old radio? There is no debug.log in my home .chirp directory, just config files. thx, sam

[chirp_users] Is the Baofeng UV-82L supported?
by sam walton 19 Mar '19

19 Mar '19

From the homepage of chirp.danplanet.com <http://chirp.danplanet.com/> under Supported Radio Models and under Baofeng I see this: UV-82/82L/82X The trouble I’ve been having with this radio attempting to clone prompts me to introduce myself and to confirm that the Baoefeng UV-82L supported? And if supported, which Radio in the select menu under Baofeng works for you? Once confirmed, then I will go through my troubleshooting steps in a separate email. I apologize if there is a way to search the mailing-list archives and would appreciate if a pointer would be provided where I could search them, sam

It does the same thing that it used to, but it uses a more modern interface. Also, the uninstaller now removes old chirp config files. There isn't really any need to do this, but some users would get their config in a weird state and were confused about why uninstalling/re-installing wouldn't clear that up. Anyway, if someone running windows could give this a shot and quickly report back that it indeed looks different and that everything looks good, I'd appreciate it.

[chirp_users] Request help on using Chirp and a new radio
by Scott Raines 12 Mar '19

12 Mar '19

David, You have helped me before when I needed it and was just learning to download Chirp and, save it etc. And, to download and/or "clone" my old (sent back) Baofeng UV-5R . I have a list of frequencies in a Chirp file and, would like to upload them to a brand new UV-5R 8 watt radio I just received. May I ask a favor? How does one go about sending that list of frequencies to the new radio? If I did this (any of it) more often, or at least ONCE, I'd be ok but, this is all new. Scott

Does anyone know whether Dan is working on a new version of Python to run CHIRP on Macs? I just got the warming about the current version not working when the next release of macOS comes out. I see some 64-bit versions of Python from Apple installed on my Mac, but the installation instructions for CHIRP specifically say to use Dan's Python, which is only 32 bits. Patty N6BIS
