[chirp_users] Homebrew formula and daily builds
by Brian McCaffrey 23 May '19

23 May '19

I installed Chirp on macOS using Homebrew, but it seems to have installed the daily build from 20190206. What would be the best way to install the daily build using Homebrew? Should I re-write the formula to get the daily build? Suggestions? 73, Brian

Hello, I purchased a Baofeng BF-F8HP, cable, and HP Chromebook. I have no experience with either program. The software CHIRP lists doesnt download on the laptop. The laptop has Linux capability, but I don't have any idea how to execute the program. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks. Jim

[chirp_users] PPA and auto CHIRP update/upgrade 'issue'
by Mike Parks 19 May '19

19 May '19

Hi, I'm having a problem with the automatic update of CHIRP since I upgraded Ubuntu from 16.xx to 19.04 64 bit. I get various error messages when entering the three lines of instruction on the dansmith site. I then see: Unable to download updates: failed to refresh cache E:The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/ chirp-snapshots/ubuntu <http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu?fbclid=IwAR1bQXquR…> disco Release' does not have a release file. Everything worked fine until the upgrade to 19.04. So now I have to manually update CHIRP. Any thoughts for a Linux/Ubuntu novice? Thanks. Mike - G4UPD

Hi Dan, See if this helps. Press the Menu button then press the down arrow or the up arrow until you get the item 21 - MDF-A Channel Display, Hit menu again the the up or down arrow until you see Channel Name then press Menu again then Exit. Do the same thing for item 22 - MDF-B Channel Display only this time select Frequency. Now if you have both A & B set to the same channel the A display will show the name and the B display the frequency.

[chirp_users] Programming New BTECH GMRS-50X1
by David C. Jenner 18 May '19

18 May '19

I successfully programmed a new BTECH GMRS-50X1 using my older BTECH GMRS-V1 as a basis. However, it took 4 min and 30 sec to upload to the radio. The first thing I did was read out the 50X1 and write back to it. That upload and all since, with new entries, have taken about the same time, which seems excessively long? I don't see this with other radios. Latest version of CHIRP on Windows 10 running on Parallels on a MacBook Pro using both BTECH and RT Systems cables. Comm port says it's 9600 baud. Dave

[chirp_users] UV-82HP display question
by Dan Jolley 17 May '19

17 May '19

I have a UV-82HP, and I would like the top line to say the channel name, and on the bottom line I would like it to show the correct frequency of the channel I am on. Example: If I am on NOAA on the top line I would like it to show 162.525 on the bottom line. Which is the NOAA frequency in our area. I also have a UV-82C, UV-5R and a UV-5RTP I would like to do the same thing to (if possible). Is this possible? I have done so many google searches and read a bunch of articles. One man said he had his radio this way, but did not say how he did it. I have been playing around with the Settings in Chirp and I have the Name on the top line, but can't get the correct frequency on the bottom line. Thank you in advance, Dan Jolley

I know that can be done by setting the display mode as you would prefer in the "A" and the "B" displays. However you must set both displays to the same channel manually. I'm not aware of an automatic sync capability.

[chirp_users] Programming Yaesu Radios using CHIRP
by Larry Lovell 17 May '19

17 May '19

Has anyone had a problem programming a Yaesu radio with CHIRP? Someone mentioned that their Yaesu was damaged and had to be sent to the factory because CHIRP had overwritten some code controlling the processor. It also had to be re-flashed. Since I don't fully understand how CHIRP works this doesn't make sense to me, but knowing manufacturing companies, they may share Channel Memory with processor memory and not think much about it. Thanks for your information. -- Larry Lovell 73's N7RGW http://QRVTronics.com <http://qrvtronics.com> Cell: 214-697-1729

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-82HP and iMac
by ALAN BARKER 16 May '19

16 May '19

Sorry to be so dense but I need some help. I used to be able to have some fun with chirp but I've not been able to interact with my radios (baofeng UV-5RE Plus and UV-82HP) since getting a new computer. On an older computer and with an older cable I could access my UV-5RE fine but now I can’t get it to recognize anything. So, I’ve got the latest build of chirp (20190511) I’m running on an iMac with OS 10.14.4 Mojave When start up Chirp and try to download from radio (with the cable (newly purchased as I thought that might be the problem), turn the radio on max volume and hit the “OK” button, I immediately get an error message that reads: “An error has occurred could not open port /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync’” Where am I going wrong?

[chirp_users] Help wanted for the support of the KG-UV8T...
by Pavel Milanes Costa 12 May '19

12 May '19

Call for users of the Wuoxun KG-UV8T to test compatibility with the new KG-UV8E driver. If you are a user of the Wuoxun KG-UV8T your help is needed to fully support this radio with the Wuoxun KG-UV8E model. All evidence points that the 8E & 8T are clones, but logs and images are needed to test that. We need you to try to download the information from a Wuoxun KG-UV8T using the settings of the Wuoxun KG-UV8E in Chirp, if you success we need the debug.log and the image saved of your radio. Here you can find how to get the debug.log: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/How_To_Report_Issues#Gettin… You can send your log & image attached in a mail to me via pavelmc @ gmail . com, or via the chirp site link (needs a registered user) https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/5481#note-37 Cheers Pavel CO7WT.

[chirp_users] Questions about Wouxun driver.
by Mermaid 12 May '19

12 May '19

Hey everyone. And hats off to Pavel Milanes, and Bob Wickline . Quite happy that the Wouxun driver came out for the KG-UV8E / KG-UV8T. A much needed driver as those radios are getting quite popular. I have a question regarding the new driver as as well the old one that is based from. Even before this build, I’e seen using the KG-UV9D Plus driver, and have noticed the settings tab exists but empty, I notice this new version does the same for the KG-UV8E as well. Is having an empty settings tab normal or am I doing something weird?

[chirp_users] Updated - In reference to Bug # 5027 - New Baofeng BF-888s started in English, but after being programmed they got stuck on Chinese and couldn't change back to English.
by Dan Jolley 11 May '19

11 May '19

Update May 11, 2019 - I got in touch with Amazon Product Support and they had a new BF-888s PDF Manual to download. I got to the part that said "ON CHANNEL 15, PRESS AND HOLD THE PTT AND MONI BUTTONS WHILE SWITCHING ON THE TRANSEIVER TO CHANGE THE VOICE PROMPT LANGUAGE (CHI / ENG)". I loaded the original Chinese image in English, then I loaded an image that I knew was already in English, but it was in Chinese. After doing the instructions, the image went back to English. So all the things I tried were in vain. I went back and read the BF-888s manual from 2016 and those instructions were there too, but I missed it. But I figured you guys already knew about it. I just thought I'd pass this along to others who did not know about it. Dan Jolley

[chirp_users] In reference to Bug # 5027 - New Baofeng BF-888s started in English, but after being programmed they got stuck on Chinese and couldn't change back to English.
by Dan Jolley 10 May '19

10 May '19

Well ya'll, I finally got it working. Besides CHIRP, I had a couple of old BF-888s Chinese programs that would normally change it to English, but these would not, and I still don't know why. These radios definitely have a bug in the software! I assume ya'll have enough original factory images from the Baofeng BF-888s so I don't have to supply any and you can reference them. I took care to test for English or Chinese as I ran these tests. Test 1 - I entered all FRS frequencies and removed the Chinese Frequencies. I noticed as I installed the FRS frequencies, all of the characters in the other colums went away and I never lost the English from the radio. (the characters in the original image columns). Test 2 - Removed all Tone Modes. Test 3 - Changed the mode from NM to NFM Test 4 - Removed all skipped channels. So now I have 2 new working BF-888s that Amazon dropped off at lunch. I can't think of anything better to do on this cold wet rainy day... it took me 3 hours to get it to work. I'll leave the technical aspect why they didn't work to the pros & programmers. I could have given you an already working image but I put a lot of work into this. Here's the working image. I know there's more info to add into the lists & columns, so someone may encounter the Chinese again. I didn't fix it, I got the radios so I could program the FRS channels in them, and it started working.

Use caution when following links or opening attachments as they could be malicious The list on the CHIRP homepage is (apparently) generated automatically from the daily CHIRP build, so if the radio is not here, then the CHIRP code does not know about it. Within the CHIRP code, there is (supposed of be) an "alias" defined for any radio that has the IDENTICAL programming interface with another radio. "identical" means completely indistinguishable, including any internal version or ID string. If a radio is "almost" identical, then the CHIRP code needs to be updated so it knows the differences. If the radio is truly identical, then you can program it using the original name or any of the aliases.

Make sure Win 10 has not done something (updates?) to block the use of any I/O adapters you use to connect to the radio. Also, that any such adapters "show up" to the system as the same COM port you expect. Check using Device Manager. If not, either tell Chirp the new assigned port, or use Windows own tools within Device Manager, to nail it's feet to the ground, so that the next time you plug it in, to the same USB hole, it'll show up the same (so long as nothing else got there first!) For example, (but not the only method):- http://www.w1hkj.com/doku/doku.php?id=howto:taming_the_wild_comport_in_wind… Just identifying the current COM port the radio is attached to, and using "That" new info, to tell Chirp what to use, should get you going, if it used to work OK with that adapter+radio in the past. If not, then there are other issues, possibly device driver related. 73. Dave G0WBX. PS: Just so it is said, Linux etc can have the same/similar issues, if anyone has experienced this sort of thing. Again one needs to identify what /dev/ttyUSBx device was assigned to the interface. But, in the case of FTDI based interfaces, you can reliably "Fix" the issue using "udev rules". But that is beyond the scope of this list. PM me if needed. I'm not aware of any similar native facility in Windows. >< -- Created on and sent from a Unix like PC running and using free and open source software. ::

[chirp_users] Unable to import csv file
by Christopher Ludwig 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hello, I am a long time user of Chirp, but I've never had a need for support so I just finally joined this list. I have a Baofeng UV-5R that I downloaded my old memories from successfully, then exported to a csv file. I then put that csv file into excel to edit it and save it back as a csv. I've done my best to preserve the format, but I couldn't import the editied csv successfully. After that, I started removing unused columns and such in an effort to get it to import. No such luck. Can anyone tell me what I screwed up with the csv format? -Chris.KK4LCGSyracuse, UT

[chirp_users] Chirp (Not Responding) before uploading or downloading radio.
by Joshua Richardson 01 May '19

01 May '19

About four days ago, my Chirp began acting strange. It opened normally, and a profile opened normally. But then, when I used the Alt+U command (and later using the menu options in the menu bar), Chirp went to (Not Responding) for about twenty seconds, after which the program resumed normal function. The only time I experience this issue is when I am asking Chirp to Upload or Download a radio. I was using an older version of Chirp from December, as I loathe updating software. I used the App menu in the Setting App to uninstall Chirp, and installed the latest version to no avail. I then manually deleted the individual program files from its location in File Explorer and reinstalled. I performed these two actions twice with no improvement. Then I used the Disk Cleanup tool in Windows, deleted temporary files, ran a Defrag, used the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth, DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth, DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, sfc/ scanner, and chkdsk C: /f. These actions all improved Windows performance as a whole, but I am still experiencing Chirp’s (Not Responding) issue. This is only a minor inconvenience, but after eight months of using Chirp with zero issues, it concerns me that it just decided to start having a brain fart one day. What further diagnosis steps can I take to prevent a complete system reset? I’d like to not go through the process of a complete system restoration more than once a year.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20190429 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #578 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [KT-8900D] Support Radios With Missing TMR Choice A bug with the TMR feature was discovered during the initial development of this driver. The 15 choices listed in the TMR menu of the radio did not match the 15 choices of same setting in the factory programming software. They each had a choice available that the other did not have. The bug was reported. Soon after that a pre-production BTech model was received from Baofeng Tech that corrected the TMR menu to have a complete set of 16 choices. It was assumed that the other Vendor/Model variants would receive the same update to the TMR menu. This 16 choice layout is what the initial CHIRP driver for these radios was then based on. Apparently the bug was not universally fixed in the TMR menu of non-BTech variants so some models continue to ship with the M+A+B+D choice missing from the TMR menu. This patch creates a 15 choice list to be use with color mobile radios that have the M+A+B+D choice missing (such as the QYT KT-7900D and KT-8900D). #5999

[chirp_users] Linking Both A and B channel banks on UV-5R
by Stan Walkowski 28 Apr '19

28 Apr '19

Re: UV-5R Question: Does anyone know how to link both A and B channel banks together, so when you change one, the other follows along? Why?: Many of us put the name (Alpha tag) of the freq in A Bank and the freq (Numeric Value) in B Bank. It would be nice to have the radio retain memory channel compatibility when changing one or the other. Thank you in advance, Stan

How do you get CHIRP to work on a MacBook Pro? I keep getting an error message (“radio not communicating”, or something like that). According to the download site, and also with the cable I have, it’s supposed to be compatible. The sky is not blue. It merely looks that way because blue is the name we have given that color.

I am fairly surprised to see technically savvy ham radio operators so inept at using a simple software program like Chirp. I would suggest to new users of Chirp to after install, download and save your original configuration to an image file for later. Then click on everything and go through each and every menu and sub menus. Experiment!! You really can’t break anything. (I hope). Sorry to be critical but it seems some users don’t even try on their own before they come here for help. You can do this!! Off my soap box and back to lurking. -- Dennis M.

Re: [chirp_users] Problems with Baofeng GT-1 and beatshift(scramble) option
by Tom Consodine, ND5Y 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

Scrambling is done in the radio itself. Not all radios have it. Programming software has nothing to do with it except to enable, disable or select the settings that the radio uses. There might not be a menu item in Chirp for it, but there probably is a menu in the radio for it. Possibly the only way to set it is with the manufacturer's programming software.

[chirp_users] Wouxon KG-699E
by Pat Anderson 23 Apr '19

23 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] 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

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
