I have downloaded CHIRP and used to program my radio but after uploading data to my radio the channels are there but I have no sound when it picks up a signal. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- Joseph Bonneville C-(802)-289-1299 e-mail: isaiahrocks2010(a)gmail.com

[chirp_users] Steps To reset the TYT TH-9800
by Glenn At Home 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

Hi, Before I re-upload my CSV file, that I edited with Open Office, I was wondering if anyone can send me the button steps to reset the radio to its defaults. I had read some reference to this in the manual, but of course it really did not indicate literally which button for the function key, and how many presses. With my poking around, and not knowing the buttons, I may have set some things in a way that I don't want. For example, it seems that all my channels are on the left, and I want them split, I don't know if the radio will do this automatically after I upload my CSV file, but at least I'll be starting with a clean slate. Thanks. Glenn Sent From My Tabletop

[chirp_users] more trouble with CSV file
by Glenn At Home 19 Jan '19

19 Jan '19

Hi All, Maybe someone can figure out what I did wrong in my CSV file. It was working, and I added a 10 meter repeater and two 6 meter repeaters and a 1.25 meter repeater. It says error on line 169, but it always seems to reference the last line. The lines in question would be between the left most numbers of 127 and 140. The repeaters on repeater.com only gave one tone, and I put in the others, the 6 & 10 m, just to keep the fields full. The one that was given was the 1.25 m repeater, I'll list that one below: 224.7600 -1.6 MHz 146.2 Omaha Thanks for any help. Sent From My Tabletop

[chirp_users] HELP with Yaesu FT-70DR issue writing banks to radio
by Robert Matos 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

I posted a question to the list a while back but didn’t get any responses (content below). Should I submit a bug request? The FAQ didn’t offer anything that could help and I don’t see anything in the documentation related to my radio about whether the bank support is in place so not sure if it’s a user error at this point. “ I am having trouble getting my bank selections to upload to the radio. My frequency memory entries and other settings carry over just fine, however the radio says “No Banks” even though I have entered memory positions into one or more banks in Chirp. This is using CHIRP daily-20190104 on Mac OSX." Best, Rob --------------- Rob Matos 617.302.7593 rfm8os(a)gmail.com

[chirp_users] CHIRP issue to "download from Radio"
by Christophe 18 Jan '19

18 Jan '19

Hi there! Sorry to disturb you with a newbie's problem but FAQ doesn't help me at all, so I have first raise a BUG (#6379) on CHIRP website, but perhaps this is not the best option... I'm French, and I recently purchase an Baofeng UV-5R on aliexpress, and would like to use CHIRP to modify options, name and frequency of channels.After some difficulties with the cable's driver (with WINDOWS 7), this is now CHIRP that don't want to download the image from my !Even if I put the correct PORT, Vendor (Baofeng) and Model (UV-5R) result is always: "Incorrect 'Model' selected" (But I have an UV-5R!) I have check some parameters on the Radio if it could help:(Power+3) BF4816N(Power+6) 181016N / B5R0001 CHIRP version is the last one: chirp-daily-20190112 Could you help me understand what is the issue? USB Cables is working with the original Boafeng software (but CHIRP seems to be a best option to edit). Thank you very much for help. Christophe

[chirp_users] How do I get extended error report from CHIRP?
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

How do I get extended debugging info from CHIRP. I finally was able to test my USB cable. My cable is fine. My Wouxun KG-UV8E works fine on Wouxun's Windows software, but does not work on CHIRP, either on Windows 10 or Arch Linux. I went back to the January 2018 daily build of CHIRP and used the module that is for the UV8D Plus kguv8dplus.py and it doesn't work. How can I help with this? Regards, David N1EA

Re: [chirp_users] Possibly Bad USB to radio cable
by Dave B 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

Odd. Chirp works very well indeed on Linux, plus even the dodgy/fake USB<>Serial cables all work without issue or needing to install drivers. (But for how long...) Also, LibreOffice has an excellent spreadsheet that handles Chirp's .csv files very well indeed. There are other unrelated non-ham issues, but for running Chirp, it works very well. 73. Dave G0WBX.

[chirp_users] Disregard Last Question about Name vs Frequency Display in BaoFeng UV-5R!
by Pat Anderson 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

My friend Google disclosed that Jim Unroe had answered my question about display of frequency rather than name "a few years ago! It is a setting on the radio! It would be NICE however if CHIRP could program the display mode! "This isn't an issue with CHIRP. You have to set the Menu Display Format to "names" to enable them. Settings > Basic Settings -> Display Mode (A) -or Display Mode (B) from within CHIRP Menu 21 (MDF-A) and menu 22 (MDF-B) from the radio's keypad."

[chirp_users] After Upload Radio Shows Programmed Frequencies but not Alphanumeric Name
by Pat Anderson 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

New BaoFeng UV-5R purchased from Amazon. Latest chirp-daily. " Download from Radio" works fine. "Upload to Radio" appears to work fine, CHIRP shows cloning progress bar and light on radio flashes. But an alphanumeric name was entered in CHIRP for each memory channel. The radio displays the frequency instead of the name. I have another UV-5R that I don't have with (the reason I bought another one) and after uploading to radio it displays the name. Am I missing something? On the radio? In CHIRP? Thanks!

[chirp_users] TYT TH-9800 MANUAL DESCRIPTION
by Gary Craig 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

Glenn, I will try to help you out. I hope this email gets to you. I have had problems in the past trying to post here. No matter what i try they get rejected... You are correct on the knobs. On page 11 of the user manual there is a diagram of the "knobs" and "keys" which is what they call the buttons. There are numbers with lines pointing to the knobs, and then also to groups of the keys. There is a chart starting under the diagram that continues on page 12 and then on page 13. This describes the knobs and keys and their function. In the diagram the group numbering starts at the top left knob with "1" then goes counter clockwise to the lower left knob as "2" then the first four keys/buttons at bottom left are "3". The bottom center button which is slightly taller than the others is "4", then the four buttons to the bottom right are "5". "6" is the bottom right knob, then up to the top right knob "7". The vertical keys beside the knobs on the left and right are "8". The top left knob is "1" in the diagram and under the heading "NO." in the table/chart. Under heading "KEY" it is listed as "LEFT DIAL". Under the next heading "FUNCTION", there are four different functions listed numbered 1 thru 4. 1. Tuning dial for the "left" band. 2. Short press the knob to set the "left" band as the "Main" band. 3. Enable rapid tuning (in 1 MHz steps) when the "left" band is set to be the "Main" band in VFO mode. 4. Press and hold in this knob for 1/2 second to toggle the operating band on the left side as follows: 144 MHz -> 350 MHz -> 430 MHz -> 850 MHz -> 29 MHz -> 50 MHz... The bottom left knob is "2" in the diagram and "NO." heading. It is listed as "LEFT VOL/SQL" under the "KEY" heading. It has four listings under "FUNCTION" heading. 1. The outer VOL (Volume) control adjusts the "left" receiver speaker audio level. 2. Short press the knob to switch single receive mode "on" and "off". 3. Press and hold this knob for 1/2 second to switch the front panel keys LOCK feature "on" and "off". 4. The inner SQL (Squelch) control adjusts the "left" receiver background noise. Along the bottom of the radio face there are 4 keys in group 3 in the diagram and under the "NO." heading, designated LEFT, labeled from left to right as follows: "LOW", "V/M", "HM", & "SCN". Under the "KEY" heading the first key on bottom left is labeled LEFT [LOW]. In the chart/table it denotes the keys from the knobs by using brackets [ ] for just the key description as marked on the radio. It has 2 listings under the "FUNCTION" heading. 1. Short press the key to switch power output level of the "left" band (LOW, MID2, MID1, HIGH). 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to switch memory display mode between "Frequency" and "Channel Tag" when the "left" band is set to the Memory mode or Home Channel. Under the "KEY" heading the second key from the left on the bottom in group 3 is labeled "LEFT [V/M]". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to switch frequency control for the "left" band between the VFO and Memory mode. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to shift to the "Memory Tuning" feature when the "left" band is set to the Memory mode. Under the "KEY" heading the third key from the left on the bottom in group 3 is labeled "LEFT [HM]". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to recall a favorite "HOME" frequency memory. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to activate Priority Channel Scanning under VFO or MR mode. Under the "KEY" heading the fourth key from the left on the bottom in group 3 is labeled "LEFT [SCN]". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to activate the Scanner on the "left" band. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to set up the Scan Skip List or Preferential Scan List under MR mode. Now we are at group 4, the center key on the bottom. The symbol on the key itself is a small square. The key appears in the diagram to be slightly taller than the other keys. In the chart/table it is labeled "[SET]". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to enter the Menu mode. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to transfer the contents of the Main band VFO into a Memory system. Next are the 4 bottom right keys in group 5, starting with the one to the right of the center key, or fourth from the right. It is labeled RIGHT [LOW]. Underneath that label under "KEY" in parentheses is "(Default)". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to switch power output level of the "right" band (LOW, MID2, MID1, HIGH). 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to switch memory display mode between "Frequency" and "Channel Tag" when the "right" band is set to the Memory mode or Home Channel. NOTE: This same key has a second set of functions under (Key Mode 2). The only reference i could find for Key Mode 2 is in the menu programming under "#14 KEY.MOD". You can program those right keys for their (Default) use "KEY1", or for the second set of functions as "KEY2". I will list all the Default descriptions and functions first, then the secondary functions you can program last. The third key from the right in group 5 is labeled "RIGHT [V/M]". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to switch frequency control for the "right" band between the VFO and Memory mode. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to shift to the "Memory Tuning" feature when the "right" band is set to the Memory mode. The second key from the right in group 5 is labeled "RIGHT [HM]". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to recall a favorite "HOME" frequency memory. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to activate Priority Channel Scanning under VFO or MR mode. The first key next to the knob on bottom right in group 5 is labeled "RIGHT [SCN]". It has 2 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Short press the key to activate the Scanner on the "left" band. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to set up the Scan Skip List or Preferential Scan List under MR mode. Now i will list the 4 keys in group 5 in the same order but with their "Key Mode 2" labels and functions. Starting with the one to the right of the center key, or fourth from the right. It is labeled "RIGHT [MHz]". It has 2 functions listed. 1. Short press the key to allow tuning in 1 MHz steps on the "Main" band VFO. 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to allow tuning in 10 MHz steps on the "Main" band VFO. The third key from the right in group 5 is labeled "RIGHT [RPT]". It has 2 functions listed. 1. Short press the key to change the frequency shift direction: RPT- (minus shift), RPT+ (plus shift), RPT OFF (simplex). 2. Press and hold in this key for 1/2 second to reverse TX and RX frequencies on the "Main" band during split-frequency operation. The second key from the right in group 5 is labeled "RIGHT [TONE]". It has 1 function listed. 1. Short press the key to change the Tone Squelch mode: ENC (CTCSS Encoder), ENC DEC (CTCSS Encoder & Decoder), or DCS operation. The first key next to the knob on bottom right in group 5 is labeled "RIGHT [SUB]". It has 1 function listed. 1. Short press the key to make the next key you press act on the "Sub band". (The "Main" icon will blink on the "Sub band"). Next is the bottom right knob group 6. It is labeled "RIGHT VOL/SQL". It has 3 listings under "FUNCTION". 1. The outer VOL (Volume) control adjusts the "right" receiver speaker audio level., 2. Press and hold this knob for 1/2 second to turn the radio "on" and "off". 3. The inner SQL (Squelch) control adjusts the "right" receiver background noise. The top right knob is group 7. It is labeled "RIGHT DIAL", and has four listings under "FUNCTION". 1. Tuning dial for the "right" band. 2. Short press the knob to set the right band as the "Main" band. 3. Enable rapid tuning (in 1 MHz steps) when the "right" band is set to be the Main band in VFO mode. 4. Press and hold in this knob for 1/2 second to toggle the operating band between 144 MHz and 430 MHz on the right side. Now we come to group 8, the 3 vertical buttons beside the left and right knobs. The three on the left starting at the top and going down are labeled "A", "B", and "C". The three on the right starting at the top are labeled "D", "E", and "F". These are called Hyper Memory Keys. They all have the same 2 functions. 1. Press and hold in one of these buttons for 2 seconds to store the current configuration of the radio into a special "Hyper" memory bank. 2. Short press the appropriate button to recall the desired "Hyper" memory. Hope this will help you. 73 KI5CCD Be blessed! May 2019 be our year of change & growth!

Use caution when following links or opening attachments as they could be malicious Well, it refers to using a button with a graphic that when converted to TXT does not make anything. So they refer to buttons that I have no way of knowing even their name. Also, if they did give the name, I would then need to have someone read where each button is, like for example There are four turn knobs. I figured out that the bottom one powers it on/off and the inner dial around it is the right side squelch. There is a left volume and squelch too.

The need to look close to the rows above. One of the differences would be that Mode would be AM. The best way to know how it should look is to program a memory in the radio and then export it to a CSV file. Then use that as a template for the rest.

I threw only a few minutes at this. I hope this is helpful. Th - 9800 I am hopeful that you have the text of the manual and can read the descriptions (1 through 8) keyed to the diagram. But it's in a table layout so the formatting may be too awkward. upper left knob is identified as [photo key 1] left dial tuning dial for the left band. the entire radio appears to be bilaterally symmetrical, with a left dial, left volume / squelch, and right dial at the top and right volume / squelch at the bottom. [photo keys 1, 2, 7, 6] The display is also split into left and right sections with comparable stuff displayed. Three vertical buttons on the left are labeled downward a b and c, with d e and f labeled downward on the similar three buttons to the right. All six refer to [photo key 8] [Photo key 8] calls these hyper memory Keys a through f Of the nine buttons across the bottom, the center is labeled with a dot [photo key 4]. And is named "set" on the page. it says this enters the menu mode or if you hold for half a second to transfer the contents of the Main band VFO into a memory.

[chirp_users] Possibly Bad USB to radio cable
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 13 Jan '19

13 Jan '19

Hi, I have a Wouxun red colored cable, suddenly it no longer works. I have the Wouxun Windows programming software: Doesn't communicate with radio. CHIRP on Win10 and Arch Linux: Same problem, radio doesn't respond. It used to work, now suddenly it doesn't work! Is there some way I can check the USB to double jack (1/8 (3.5mm) and 3/32 inch (2.5mm). I have a club member with the same cable, but it's been 20 days since he was going to come over to test my cable by substitution. It's either my transceiver or my cable! Only have one hand held that takes this cable! I only have a 100 MHz dual trace 'scope and a nice RadioShack 22-812 DMM to test with. So I could capture slower pulses. Probably won't be a good test like substitution of working cable. I know it's a fairly dumb question but you never know until you ask! 73 David N1EA

[chirp_users] Problem with CHIRP under Ubuntu Linux
by Pat Anderson 13 Jan '19

13 Jan '19

I have CHIRP installed on an Asus C302 Chromebook with Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) installed with crouton, I live in Washington State but am in Arizona for the winter, and just bought another BaoFeng UV-5R to use here ($24.99 on Amaqzon, how could I not). I had no programming cable, so I borrowed one from a friend here at the RV Park, it is a labelled "TYT." I also have a 2011 MacBook Pro with CHIRP installed which I have used successfully many times before. What is happening is that when I connect the BaoFeng via the cable (turned off), and go toe "Download from Radio," I can put "BaoFeng" and" UV-5R" in the dialog box from the dropdown lists but the in Port dialog, nothing shows up. Naturally, when I turn the radio on and press the button to download, it gives a "Device not found" error. There is a /dev/tty file that I have CHMODed to 777, and I tried typing "/dev/tty" in the box same error. The cable is pushed fully into the radio, so that is not the problem. When I connect to the MacBook, and do the same thing, the only device that shows up is the Bluetooth device. I have deduced it must be the cable. I have several programming cables back home that I know work - and they were cheap generic cables that would make Windows choke (fake Prolific chips). I don't want to buy a cable on Amazon or Cheapham without knowing whether it will work or not.I don't know if Linux cares about the chip. I don't think MacOS cares. What cable would you recommend, or what else could I try in Ubuntu if it is not the cable? Thanks! Pat Anderson KD7OAC

[chirp_users] CSV File
by Glenn At Home 12 Jan '19

12 Jan '19

Hi, I have uploaded my CSV file that I made up for my TYT TH-9800, using my Baofeng 5R and 9HP file, with a few additions for 11 meter. I get an error on line 160 when importing it, and I'm wondering if it isn't going into the radio, because when I scan, I can't pick up anything from my hand-held. Admittedly I don't yet know how to use the TYT, because I only know that the fourth button from the left reads scan and the furthest right button reads scan. Without the 11-meter channels I put in, the CSV file works in my Baofengs. Would anyone look at the CSV file and see if you might know why it isn't working? Thanks. Glenn Sent From My Tabletop

Re: 2m & 70 cm UK frequency lists for initial programming (Sarvapala Colin Locock) Colin M7CFL Visit the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) website. All Repeater lists and details are fully up to date. Simplex frequencies and are also listed. The RAYNET (in North America we call it ARES) simplex, repeaters & usage rules/allocations are there also and widely in use for emergency traffic and training. Remember the UK/EU Band allocations are very different to North America. Also ALL transmissions 6m/2m/70cm/23cm are in Narrow FM mode only. All repeaters use Tone Squelch. This avoids any interference with the EU repeaters which by the way operate in the reverse repeater offsets to the UK to avoid cross border/country channel interference issues. North American operators visiting the UK/EU when overseas should note their radio allocations. Our radios as built have a wider band Tx range which is not allowed there. One good example is our 6m FM calling channel 52.525 MHz. In the UK/EU it is 51.510 MHz FM narrow mode. No transmissions over 52.000 MHz are allowed as it is allocated for the lower TV band. Same for Asia/Australia/New Zealand. When travelling always check local Clubs for each countries rules. Some countries in the Caribbean (for example) require a temporary call sign issued well in advance and import documents (and fees) for your radio(s). A side note: You can use your North American call sign(s) freely for up to 3 months in the UK/EU. Carry a copy of your license.

I just received my data cable today and was able to download the memory of my Vertex VX-150 using FTB1050, so I know the cable/USB adapter is good. I tried using VX-170 setting in Chirp to download the memory ... no good. Chirp was reading the memory and the green status line went almost to the end then I received an error dialog box "ord() expected a character, but string length of 0 found" Wondering if it's worth the effort to request the VX-150 be added to Chirp?

I have a new Leixen VV-898SP backpack radio and it works OK with the factory software. The problem I am having is the latest version of Chirp won't allow me to input frequencies over 470 MHz. The radio transmits to 470 MHz and receives up to 520MHz. I need to use it to monitor public safety on 470-490 MHz as a receive only radio. I have no need or desire to transmit above 470 MHz. Can this be addressed somehow? Thanks Steve Black KB1CHU

[chirp_users] How to analyse the memory map for a new radio type?
by Dan Clemmensen 31 Dec '18

I am a new Ham, and I foolishly selected a radio that is not supported by CHIRP. (Yaesu FT-4XR). I wish to add support for it and its recent Yaesu siblings. I have successfully analysed the serial protocol and I can read and write the memory, but I don't know what to do next. Is there a HOWTO somewhere? If not, I can attempt to create one, but some guidance would be appreciated.

[chirp_users] Mobile/web GUI?
by Dan Clemmensen 30 Dec '18

30 Dec '18

I wish to run CHIRP on a Raspberry Pi Zero W in the field, where I may not have a laptop. I wish to connect to the Pi from a smartphone via WiFi and run CHIRP in a web page. Clearly, I could do this using VNC, but the CHIRP UI appears to be oriented toward a real screen of at least 1024x768 or so. SO: is there a UI that will fit better on a smartphone screen? Another alternative might be to run CHIRP on Android and connect a programming cable to the smartphone's USB port, but my Android skills are weak. I will have the Pi in the field anyway, since it will be running Direwolf. Incidentally, CHIRP is really impressive, and it appears to just work when I run it on my Gentoo desktop.

Reading the manual only tells me that these things need to be done, but without someone making a video or manual that is like describing the radio over the phone, or on paper with only text, there is no way for me to know which controls do what. Youtube videos say things like this button or that dial, and the manual have graphics depicting which symbol to look for. I have fiddled around with it, but to no avail.

[chirp_users] Unable to communicate with Kenwood TH-G71 using quality USB cable and CHIRP 20181214
by Mark Howie 27 Dec '18

27 Dec '18

Hi All I am having difficulties getting CHIRP 20181214 to communicate with *a couple* of Kenwood TH-G71 hand-helds. I am using a brand new BlueMax49ers supplied (FTDI) USB cable. When connected to my Windows 7 Professional (64 bit machine) the driver seems to install fine. (No negative messages etc.) However when I try to use CHIRP (version 20181214) to download from *a couple* of Kenwood TH-G71 hand-helds nothing happens. (no indications of download progress after over 10 minutes waiting). I believe I read somewhere in the CHIRP documentation that there is *no need* to put Kenwood radios into 'clone' or similar mode. I have also tried the same cable on another computer (also with the latest version of CHIRP) and also with 64 bit Windows 7 (Ultimate). I've tried running CHIRP both as a User and as the Administrator. but get the *same result* regardless. Can you please help me to figure out what may be the issue? Thanks in advance Mark Howie ZL1UMK

[chirp_users] Setting Up The TYT TH-9800
by Glenn At Home 26 Dec '18

26 Dec '18

Hello, I noticed the settings in Chirp for most, if not all the menu settings for this radio. I'm having trouble setting it up, even though I uploaded some channels into it with Chirp. The thing is, I need to set one side for 6 & 10 meter and the other for UHF. Reading the manual only tells me that these things need to be done, but without someone making a video or manual that is like describing the radio over the phone, or on paper with only text, there is no way for me to know which controls do what. Youtube videos say things like this button or that dial, and the manual have graphics depicting which symbol to look for. I have fiddled around with it, but to no avail. So I'm wondering if there is something in the settings which will assign each side to it's bands. Thanks for any assistance. Glenn Sent From My Tabletop

[chirp_users] Support for CS800D??
by William Liporace 26 Dec '18

Hi Folks, I have not looked too much online, but it does not appear that anyone has setup the Chirp to work with the Connect System radios. I happen to have picked up the CS800D. Please correct me if I am wrong... TNX Will WC2L -- William Liporace WC2L http://www.wc2l.com or http://dxc.wc2l.com AR-Cluster Node telnet dxc.wc2l.com or 144.93 MHz wc2l(a)wc2l.com

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 19 Dec '18

19 Dec '18

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-20181214 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #543 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix Yaesu FT-8900 bank model disable This reverts/fixes a previous patch that tried to delete the get_bank_model() method from a class to avoid loading the banks tab for the 8900, which does not support them. This fails the static analysis checker at least, and isn't really the right way to do it. Just returning None will cause the compat routine in chirp_common to do the right thing, so this patch changes it to just do that. Re-fix for #6293 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix style issues in kguv9dplus I forgot to add it to the manifest, so I didn't notice these: ./chirp/drivers/kguv9dplus.py:982:74: E222 multiple spaces after operator ./chirp/drivers/kguv9dplus.py:1031:80: E501 line too long (80 > 79 characters) ./chirp/drivers/kguv9dplus.py:1032:80: E501 line too long (80 > 79 characters) ./chirp/drivers/kguv9dplus.py:1890:26: W291 trailing whitespace Related to #3509 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add KG-UV9Dplus image for #3509 [Kalle Tuulos <oh1hqz(a)gmail.com>] [FT8900] Deleted inherited get_bank_model function, fixes #6293 The FT-8900 inherits its class from FT-8800, which defines also the get_bank_model function. The existence of this function is checked in order to decide, whether Banks tab is shown or not. As banks are not supported in FT-8900, the banks tab must not be shown. [Jim Lieb <lieb(a)sea-troll.net>] [kguv9dplus] Add support for Wouxon KG-UV9D Plus Issue: #3509 Adds support for Wouxon KG-UV9d Plus model available from Powerwerx Passes run_tests and pycodestyle-2.7 This supports all functions relative to the Wouxon/Powerwerx configuration app with the following exceptions: 1. Scanning CTCSS/DCS (menu 51) is only available on the radio. It appears to be in volatile memory and gets reset to default (CTCSS) on power cycle. The supplied app doesn't support it either. 2. DTMF Transmit Interval is on the configuration tab and seems to operate on the supplied app but it does not appear to be written to the radio. As a result, it is not in the memory map and doesn't appear at all in this driver. 3. The supplied app fills in '0's to the right of either the menu or reset password UI fields. The Chirp UI doesn't seem to support field writeback so a less than 6 digit password has trailing blanks. However, the full '0' padded password is correctly uploaded to radio. Re-downloading the radio will show the filled out field correctly. For example, a password of '1234' is actually sent to the radio as '123400'. 4. Some tabs (Call ids in partiicular) would be better presented as a three column table. Signed-off-by: Jim Lieb <lieb(a)sea-troll.net>

Re: [chirp_users] Chirp Live CD won't boot
by Dave B 16 Dec '18

Windows 7 and later, have an option when you (right)click on a .iso file, of "Burn image to CD/DVD) (or similar) That is what you need to do to make a bootable CD/DVD from a .iso file.. Obviously, you need to have a writable CD/DVD in the drive to do that. (And the drive is capable of WRITING to that media.) Only after that, you need to address how to access that disk to boot from. 73.

[chirp_users] Help needed resolving Errors opening CVS file in Chirp
by Sam the Computer Man 15 Dec '18

15 Dec '18

Hi, I am a relatively a new HAM. I need some assistance getting over the learning curve in programming my radio. I am using chirp-daily 20181205. I have created a CSV file with repeater information that I pulled from repeaterbook.com. When opening the CSV file in chirp several errors during open occurs. I know these errors are due to my lack of knowledge and understanding what all the columns information that are required. While the total error number is 36, there are basically 4 errors. I have attached my CSV file for review. 1. Line [#] [rtone] could not convert sting to float: D265 2. Line [#] [tuning_step] could not convert string to float: 3. Line [#] [ctone] could not convert sting to float: 4. Line [#] [tmode] ‘TONE’ is not a valid list; [,’Tone’,’TSQL’,DTCS’,’DTSC-R’,TSQL-R’,’Cross’] I would like to learn how to interrupt these errors so I can fix them. What is rtone? What is tuning step? What is ctone? What is tmode? To fix these errors I go to the line number (row) and then to the column label to the corresponding error type. I just don’t know the correct information that is required to fix each cell. Little back ground. My radio is a Baofang GT3 (Baofang UV5). The first step I did in programming my radio was to download the radio image and save it as a CSV file so I would know what format and type of information that is needed to program my radio. I added the information for NOAA Weather into the CSV file and uploaded the CSV file to my radio this went great. I then added about 5 more local repeaters to the CSV file and upload to my radio. This went well too. I repeated this process to program of program my radio and successfully upload about 30 repeater into my radio. So I decided to take the big leap and added another 100 repeater on my state. It at this point of open the CSV file with about 150 repeater that the error message start to display. I have attached the CSV file for your review as it might help in trouble shooting. I would also like to add more repeater in the Orlando area. My goal is to program as many repeaters my state as possible and to have my radio organize the frequency by geographical area with my home area repeaters listed as the lower channel numbers. My CSV is layout as: Column A is Location which is the channel number for the memory Column B is the name for the channel number, while my radio display only seven character, I know only the first seven character are display. I been using location of the repeater as the name. Column C is frequency. I understand this, this information is pulled from repeaterbook.com Column D is duplex, this is either a “+” sign or “-“ sign or blank, this information is pulled from repeaterbook.com Column E is offset, is mainly a 5 or 0.6 base on the offset, this information is pulled from repeaterbook.com Column F is Tone, I do not understand, but it always seems to be “Tone” or blank Column G is rToneFreq, I do not understand, but I pull this from repeaterbook.com Column H is cTomeFreq, I do not understand, but I pull this from repeaterbook.com Column I is DtscCode, I do not understand, but it always seems to 23 Column J is DtscPolarity, I do not understand, but it always seems to be NN Column K is Mode, I do not understand, but it always seems to be FM Column L is TStep, I do not understand, but is always seems to be 5 Thank You in advance for your help with in getting my radio program by correcting these error so I can upload this file into my radio.

[chirp_users] TYT th 9800 file
by Glenn At Home 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

Hi, I imported the frequencies for the CB channels, which apparently the TYT TH 9800 will receive RX only AFAIK, into a CVS file for later import. Since CB is AM, would it be right to put AM in the column that usually has FM in it? Thanks. Sent From My Tabletop

[chirp_users] FT-60r
by billpaul＠ij.net 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

Problem solved. After a bit for framing about I was able to uninstall Chirp. I had to use several different methods but I "got her done" Then I reloaded and using the file tab I opened a "new" file. Then the radio would download to the program, I modified and uploaded. Later that same day I was able to upload to another FT-60. While I certainly do appreciate all the interest and advice I am led to note that those responding to a request should thoroughly read and understand the original post. For example, I specified all the test and trials I had done only to have about half a dozen "helpful" replies ask or suggest that exact procedure. Once or twice it was an effort to stay polite. Anyway, thanks and 73 to all who responded. Bill KK4LYQ

[chirp_users] OT Request for detailed description of TYT TH 9800
by Glenn At Home 08 Dec '18

08 Dec '18

Hi, I suppose anyone here could do this, but I think another Blind HAM would be more enthusiastic regarding my request. The manuals for technology typically do not describe the buttons and plugs, and even though I have watched some YouTube videos on it, there too, they rely on the viewer seeing the controls while they use them. I'm hoping someone here with this radio can either type out the controls and a description of its location on the radio, or even do a podcast on this radio, because I'll be getting one from Santa. Thanks. Glenn Sent From My Tabletop

[chirp_users] Programming The TYT th 9800
by Glenn Ervin 06 Dec '18

06 Dec '18

Hello,I will be getting the TYT 9800 with a programming cable.I have programmed my Baofengs with Chirp, so I know how to use the program in general.I'm wondering if I can import the .CSV file for any of my Baofengs into Chirp when I have downloaded from the TYT, or if the Baofeng radios have settings that won't sit well in the TYT.Also, this radio has 6-meter and 10-meter, and I can look at Radio Reference, but does anyone know if generally, there are any local frequencies that are in these bands?Thanks.

[chirp_users] Help with Sinorise SR-626U
by Dennis Green 06 Dec '18

Good morning, Anybody got information how to program the Sinorise SR-626U radio? I have sent e-mails to the manufacturer but no response. Greetings, Dennis, ZS4BS / ZS2B / 7P8DG Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
