[chirp_users] FT-8900 Banks and Settings missing
by svtdoug＠gmail.com 19 Feb '19

19 Feb '19

I have a FT-8800 which I have programmed with Chirp. Work mostly fine. I recently purchased an FT-8900 and downloaded the settings from the radio and found that there are no Banks tab, or right memory tab, or Settings tab, which are also missing from the FT-8800 page. Are there plans to complete the FT-8900 file layout to where the banks can be programmed? What would it take to contribute to the effort? I have many years of programming experience, but have no clue as to what is involved with the different rig definition files. Thanks, Doug - W7DRM

[chirp_users] DMR Support?
by E. M. Recio 19 Feb '19

19 Feb '19

So I got a D-Star, YSF, and am looking to purchase a DMR. None of the two radios in those modes that I have are supported under Chirp. Just wondering if the same is true of any DMR before I buy one this time? From all I am reading, DMR pretty much requires software to program it because it's so complex. TIA, Emilio

[chirp_users] TYT TH-9800power levels
by Glenn At Home 17 Feb '19

17 Feb '19

Hi, I tried importing a CSV file from my Baofeng into my new radio, the TYT, and after importing it, I read that all the power levels are on low. I noticed that I could use the properties to change it, but that is a lot of fields to do that to. When I open that CSV file in Excel, it shows that field as a 5 if I'm reading the correct field. If that is not the field, then the field with the power is not showing up in Excel. Also, while importing it, it encountered an error on line 160, but that is just one of the CB frequencies I put in, but it is not the first field, it is about half-way through the CB frequencies, I don't know what that is about. Thanks for any thoughts. Glenn Sent From My Tabletop

Realized it was doing something stupid while trying to run it against the CSV driver (which supports DC->daylight). Some radios were claiming to support steps they don't support because they were taking the full list in chirp_common as a default, which is clearly wrong. This patch changes the default to a very conservative set, which may cause some drivers to no longer accept some frequencies that may be valid because they were not declaring their real supported list. This also uncovered at least one buggy driver that can't support anything other than 5kHz step frequencies (ic2730). Found in the pursuit of #495

[chirp_users] BF-888S Language/Step Problem
by Richard Dillman 17 Feb '19

17 Feb '19

I've been happily using CHIRP to program BF-888S radios but today I ran into a problem with the language and frequency step entries (I'm using CHIRP daily-20190217). o When using my stored .img file for the BF-888S the frequencies upload correctly but the voice announcements are in Chinese even though English is selected in Settings. o When trying to manually enter a frequency ending in, for example, .5875, into an .img file, an error message appears stating "Error setting memory: Tuning step 12.50 not supported, Frequency requires 12.50kHz step". I've never run into either of these problems before and would be grateful for any advice and guidance. Thanks, RD ========================= Richard Dillman =========================

[chirp_users] Can’t get Chirp to Load
by Ken 11 Feb '19

I can’t seem to get Chirp to load into my Hp Envy laptop running Windows 10. After researching the Internet and this forum, I have found references to the config file that supposed to be located in the debug file. Well, neither of those two are in my Chirp program. Has anybody seen this problem before and if so, how is it fixed?? I hope I am not asking a question that has been addressed already but I haven’t seen it in here. Thanks.

[chirp_users] Got Two More Friends Up and Running with CHIRP
by Pat Anderson 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

My friends just got new Baofeng UV-5Rs. Steve is a Windows 10 guy and Don is a MacBook Pro guy running Mojave. They both managed to get the program installed on their respective computers and get their radios programmed. Steve bought the FTDI cable from Baofeng Tech and Windows 10 automatically installed the drivers when he plugged the cable in. No more trying to fool Windows into thinking an out-of-date driver is OK, because the genuine cable was barely more expensive than the counterfeit cables! I spent about an hour with them running over CHIRP basics, especially that you HAVE to download an image from the radio you want to program, edit it, save it, and then upload it back to the same radio from which it was downloaded. Don got his Mac going after I left, so I don't know if he in fact downloaded the Mac driver from mac-usb-serial.com I suggested or if Mojave likewise automatically installed drivers, as he had the authentic FTDI cable as well. I have a counterfeit Prolific, which works great on my Chromebook with Ubuntu, but I needed the purchased driver to get a serial port on my ancient MacBook Pro with High Sierra (it is too old and lame to run Mohave, so it limps along with High Sierra and a lot of spinning beach balls!). Anyway, two more fans in the CHIRP world!

I'm not getting chirp to communicate with my Yaesu FT-450D and I'm suspecting it's a baud rate issue. My 450D is at the factory default of 4800 baud, and I don't know what chirp uses by default or how to change it's default. I have no problem changing the radio to match what chirp is expecting, but I'd rather not do it by trial-and-error.... So, can anyone tell me what baud rate chirp is using?

[chirp_users] Trouble loading Chirp on a laptop

Folks, I finally got authorized to send emails here. Well, in my previous email(s), I stated I’m having issues loading Chirp. I’ve tried and tried and, it just won’t load. I followed all the instructions and all I get is the Chirp.exe. file. If I click on that, it (the supposed download) starts all over again. When I click on the part that’s highlighted, “Windows users will need the latest version”, I don’t get on the next screen what youtube instructors are showing what should appear. They get, at the bottom of the screen, a text bar that runs across the bottom saying: Run, save, and if you click on a down arrow, you’ll see “Run AND Save”. I don't get that bar. I also don’t get the small text block in the middle of the screen that wants info on “com port”, radio type etc. Gang, I need help here. Everyone else seems to load Chirp just fine. What am I doing wrong? Scott Sent from Windows Mail

The UV-B5 and the B6 are basically the same radio. Read from the radio first (tell it it's a B5), open your 5R file, then copy your channel sheet over the B6. You can then set the particular options for this radio with the B5 options.

[chirp_users] Fwd: Baofeng UV-B6 not supported?
by Ernst Niebur 03 Feb '19

03 Feb '19

Hello, I just subscribed to this list. Could not find an answer to my question in the FAQ section, so I hope it is OK to ask here. I am using chirpw on an Ubuntu system. It is the newest version, CHIRP daily-20190201. I have been using it for a while for two different Baofeng UV-5Rs and it works fine. I then ordered a Baofeng UV-B6 which arrived last week. Before ordering it, I made sure it is in the list of supported models. So I tried first to download whatever is stored on the radio and I planned to then modify that (this is what I did with the UV-5Rs). However, I found that the UV-B6 is not in the drop-down list of models I can choose. The UV-B5 is listed but when I tried this setting it did not work. Help? Thank you!

[chirp_users] IC-92AD Strangeness
by Chuck Hast 01 Feb '19

01 Feb '19

Does anyone use Chirp with the Icom 92AD? I have used it for the radio, normally just to program the frequencies I use around my area of travel. But I want to do a bit more, but I see somethings that do not square. Taking into account that the radio has been around I guess for 10 years or more it does not talk over the RS-232 link very fast, so it does take some time for Chirp to pull in every- thing. But after I have allowed it to do it's download from the radio, I am left with a notice at the bottom reading as follows: [0] Getting Bank information for Memory 849. Here is the memory info taken from the manual: The IC-92AD has 850 memory channels in the A band, 450 memory channels in the B band, and 2 call channels in each band. Memory channels in each band include 50 scan edge memory channels (25 pairs) for storage of often-used fre- quencies, respectively. And a total of 26 memory banks, A to Z, are available in each band for storing groups of frequencies, etc. Up to 100 channels can be assigned into a bank. It appears that something it halting at memory 849, and it can proceed no further. If I look at what is loaded into Chirp I see that the following screens are populated Memories (Band A) Banks (Band A) Memories (Band B) These are not populated Bank Names (Band A) Banks (Band B) Bank Names (Band B) D-Star Yet I am using both memory banks (analogue is A and D-Star is on B) I have bank names on with frequencies in them, so not sure what is going on. But it looks like Chirp is not reading past memory 849. Also I used to be able to change channel data (freq, tone etc) and since the IC-92AD is a "live radio" I would see the changes show up in the radio immediately, now I see nothing, also if I try to use the refresh button, the screen in question goes blank. I am running Mate 18.04. Chirp is Rev daily-20190201 The IC-92AD was why I started using Chirp, back in those times I could do anything to the radio made the Icom software for which they charge (still) and outrageous amount looked stupid. Yeah, it had a screen that showed a image of the radio and what was on the radio screen, big deal I could look at the Chirp screen that showed the channels and see EXACTLY what I wanted to see plus what was in above and below that channel. Is the radio pretty much abandoned or is there someone who can look at this? What info can I supply to help fix this. The radio is still in very good shape even though it has traveled all over the planet and see some pretty grungy environments. If you need more info holler and I will try to provide it. -- Chirp + Editcp + MD380Tools on Linux Celestial!!! Chuck -- KP4DJT

[chirp_users] Trying to download and run CHIRP on my Dell laptop.
by Skip Luke 25 Jan '19

25 Jan '19

It started OK and I was able to access the UV-82, but when I made a couple changes and uploaded the file to the radio, it stopped in the middle and everything locked up. The Dell locked up. I restarted it, and CHIRP wouldn't run. Uninstalled and then downloaded again and installed. Still will not run.; Getting frustrated. It worked fine on my old machine in Linux. Running Win 7 now, regrettably., (on the Dell.) Old machine has problems, but I may have to resurrect it. I hate Windows! The UV-82 did something weird ..... used it to check into a new last week, and somehow that freq. offest changed ..... now looking at the repeater input frequency, so it is backwards. Aaaaaargh!

[chirp_users] Tyt 9800 Update
by Glenn At Home 22 Jan '19

22 Jan '19

Thanks All, I think I got it working. I tweaked the CSV file, at one point, Open Office took out all the values in the offset column, so I opened another file in Excel that was about the same, and I selected the column and copied it and switched over to the file in Open Office and pasted it in. Setting it to the defaults helped, because this time when I imported the file, I think, the VHF is on the left and the UHF is on the right. Not much UHF going on around here to be sure. I need to learn the buttons on the mic other than the number pad and I know the top switch locks some of the keys, including the two top ones. It's good to turn those off, as I find myself pressing keys on that thing just by holding it while punching a button. Anyway, thanks all for helping me get this far. Glenn Sent From My Tabletop

[chirp_users] UV-5R question
by Keith .Yordy 22 Jan '19

22 Jan '19

I have used Chirp to setup several UV-5R units and it works fantastic! However, I was trying to setup a UV-5R with the keypad. I see in Chirp there is a setting for Duplex, but this doesn't appear to show up anywhere in the UV-5R. I have compared 462.600 simplex and 462.600 duplex and see no differences in the keypad menu system. if I was to setup a duplex channel manually, I am assuming I would have to set the offsets, etc., even though they show no differences on the UV-5R. Is there another trick I am missing? KY

[chirp_users] KT7900D/QB25 driver for macOS 10.13 (Mojave)?
by Patty Winter 21 Jan '19

21 Jan '19

I was recently given a Radioddity QB25, which is also a QYT KT7900D. It came with a programming cable. I got CHIRP up and running on my MacBook Air, and followed the steps to turn off the radio, connect the cable, and turn the radio back on. But there is no USB port in the ports list in CHIRP, and when I try the default Bluetooth port, I get a message that the radio is not in clone mode. I suspect a driver issue. I tried to search the archives of this mailing list and found some information about macOS drivers for various cables (including some built-in Apple drivers), but didn't see anything specifically about the cable that's supplied by Radioddity. Their website only has Windows driver software. (They say the cable itself works with Windows 7 without a driver but you need a driver for Windows 10.) I tried the generic driver linked from the CHIRP MacOS Tips page, but that didn't work. (Was I supposed to have restarted the MacBook? I only quit and relaunched CHIRP.) There are other macOS drivers listed on that page, but without knowing what kind of cable/chip Radioddity supplies, I don't know which driver to look for. Does anyone here happen to know what's in the QB25 cable and which driver works with it? I could try contacting Radioddity, but they appear to know nothing about Macs and might not give me sufficient information. Thanks/73,Patty N6BIS

Jardy, Regarding the Duplex programming, my question was when using Chirp no observable changes can be seen in the Baofeng menu. I was just curious as to how that information is stored. To manually set up duplex, I assume your description of the procedure is correct.

Re: [chirp_users] Tyt 9800 Update working with CSV files
by Gary Craig 21 Jan '19

Glenn, Thanks for the heads up about open office. I have had issues with excel and open office working with csv files. Did a little research trying to find a good csv editor and ran across this article: How to open CSV files safely with Microsoft Excel SupportAbility exports a number of CSV (Comma Separated Value) data files that can be used by other applications for invoicing, NDIS payment requests and other purposes. THE PROBLEM It is quite common for SupportAbility users to open these exported CSV files using programs like Microsoft Excel to check their contents before importing the file into a third party application such as MYOB. However, when Microsoft Excel opens a CSV file, it attempts to interpret the data in that file and starts making changes to it. For example, if Excel sees something in the CSV file that it identifies as a date (often incorrectly), Excel will change the date format in the CSV file to suit the way that it prefers to dates to be formatted. Unfortunately, this generally has the unintended consequence of breaking the CSV file for the third party application that the CSV was specifically designed for. THE SOLUTION If you need to open a CSV file in Excel without breaking it, here's how to do it: 1. Open a new Excel sheet, select the Data tab, then click 'From Text' in the Get External Data group. 2. Browse to the CSV file and select 'Import'. 3. In step 1 of the Import Wizard choose 'Delimited' as the original data type. Click 'Next'. 4. In step 2 of the Import Wizard choose Comma as the delimiter (deselect the Tab check box) and click 'Next'. 5. In step 3 of the Import Wizard, you tell Excel not to change your formats. With the first column in the Data Preview selected, scroll across to the last column and select it while holding the SHIFT key (all columns should now be selected). Then select 'Text' as the Column Data Format and click 'Finish'. 6. Click OK to insert the data into cell A1 You should now have a spreadsheet with the imported data but without Excel breaking the formatting required for the intended third party application. Remember to export the file from Excel to CSV again before uploading to the third party application if you have made changes. https://help.supportability.com.au/article/250-how-to-open-csv-files-safely… I will try this out when i get a chance and see if it will solve my issues so i can get all my radios programmed correctly. Be blessed! May 2019 be our year of change & growth!

Use caution when following links or opening attachments as they could be malicious Thanks All, I think I got it working. I tweaked the CSV file, at one point, Open Office took out all the values in the offset column, so I opened another file in Excel that was about the same, and I selected the column and copied it and switched over to the file in Open Office and pasted it in. Setting it to the defaults helped, because this time when I imported the file, I think, the VHF is on the left and the UHF is on the right. Not much UHF going on around here to be sure. I need to learn the buttons on the mic other than the number pad and I know the top switch locks some of the keys, including the two top ones. It's good to turn those off, as I find myself pressing keys on that thing just by holding it while punching a button. Anyway, thanks all for helping me get this far. Glenn Sent From My Tabletop
