[chirp_users] Error uploading to radio Baofeng BF-888S
by Juan 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Hi, I had an error uploading to radio, but as I'm not sure if it's an error or something I did wrong, I wanted to ask before opening an issue. What I did: 1. Clone from radio. 2. Import from stock conf --> EU LPD and PMR 3. Selected only PMR from 1 to 16, and used those numbers accordingly. 4. Upload to radio Then this error appeared: ERROR: Exception running RadioJob: list index out of range ERROR: -- Exception: -- ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/common.py", line 116, in _execute result = func(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/h777.py", line 503, in get_settings self._memobj.settings2.sidekeyfunction])) IndexError: list index out of range ERROR: ---------------- ERROR: Job Args: () ERROR: Job KWArgs: {} ERROR: Job Called from: File "/usr/bin/chirpw", line 149, in <module> gtk.main() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/mainapp.py", line 503, in cb_clonein self.do_open_live(radio, tempname="(" + _("Untitled") + ")") File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/mainapp.py", line 428, in do_open_live eset = editorset.EditorSet(radio, self, tempname=tempname) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/editorset.py", line 148, in __init__ editor = settingsedit.SettingsEditor(rthread) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/settingsedit.py", line 71, in __init__ job = common.RadioJob(self._get_settings_cb, "get_settings") Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/settingsedit.py", line 219, in _build_ui raise Exception("Invalid Radio Settings") Exception: Invalid Radio Settings ERROR: -- Exception: -- ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 254, in run self.__radio.sync_out() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/h777.py", line 306, in sync_out do_upload(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/h777.py", line 225, in do_upload _h777_write_block(radio, addr, BLOCK_SIZE) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/h777.py", line 182, in _h777_write_block "to radio at %04x" % block_addr) RadioError: Failed to send block to radio at 02b8 ERROR: ---------------- ERROR: Clone failed: Failed to send block to radio at 02b8 ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: Failed to send block to radio at 02b8 --- ERROR: None ERROR: ---------------------------- Thx!

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-20180815 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #536 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make support matrix radios clickable and linkable #0 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add Radioddity UV-5R EX and GA-5S #6023 and #6025 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Stash chirp version in image metadata This makes us save the current CHIRP_VERSION into the image metadata when we write it out. This is helpful so we can determine if the image was generated from a newer version, especially if we fail to load it. This makes mainapp not put up a detection dialog if the image has metadata (since we would know exactly which driver to use if we could), and specifically mentions that the image was from a newer version if we detect that case. This also stashes the loaded metadata on the radio in case it's useful later, but does not yet let the driver modify it (at least, modified metadata will not be saved). Related to #5995

Re: [chirp_users] Chirp on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Well, CHirp is actually supposed to open as a window with no content. The content doesn;t show up until you read from a radio, open a file, or import from the various sources. With regard to using the PPAs, I'm far from an expert, but my first guess would be that you need to uninstall the chirp you got from the ubuntu software stre befire attempting to use the PPAs.

The metadata region begins with a magic string followed by a base64-encoded json blob. I figure we can call all images created up until now "version zero" format, since they really aren't formatted at all. Any major format changes after this can increment the counter in the magic (although it's unlikely we would need to). The metadata currently saved includes the radio model details and the class used at the time the file was created. All existing images will still load, but when they are saved, will be augmented with metadata. Note that this will mean images saved from newer versions of chirp will not be readable by older versions which will be confused by the metadata. One major feature this brings is the ability to make radio aliases (and other weak subclasses) be "sticky" across save/load cycles. Right now if you download with an alias (such as the Arcshell AR-6 alias of the BF-888), the file will be detected and reported as a BF-888 from that point forward. With metadata in the image, we can properly select the alias on load to provide better UX. This includes some low-effort tweaking of the directory and clone code to select the right radio class based on metadata if present, and to properly return a radio class for the alias, if one matches. We might want to re-structure the alias class arrangement after this to make them properly-registered and fully-functional subclasses so that the hacky DynamicRadioAlias subclassing done here isn't necessary. Also note that the generic saving code will not append metadata for filenames not ending in .img, to preserve behavor for .vx5 files, etc. If a filename forces a non-standard file extension, the metadata will not be added and the result will be effectively the same as the older format (which then may not be loaded properly if it is mis-detected as a different model). Closes #5995 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add some convenience features to the module loader: - Mark the background of the main window red once a module has been loaded - Allow loading a module from the command line for easier testing - Allow a .mod suffix #5997

[chirp_users] Tri Band Radio
by IT1 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Dan, et alia: I am interested in getting an inexpensive HT that is Tri-Band and decent. Now, if anyone is a technical purist about specifications I already realize that any of the sub-$100 HTs are not going to come close to the ICOM 52A or something like that. I am considering to get an HT that is inexpensive and not something I will cry over if I drop it or it gets lost/stolen, whatever. However, with the forgoing in mind, I want to try to pick the best one that I can, so I am curious about everyone's ideas. Moreover, I surely want something that is compatible with Chirp and to get or make the right kind of cable for it. The one radio I looked at so far was the BaoFeng UV-5x3 (I own no 220 radios, so it'd be fun to have that capability too). I am driving cross country soon and don't have any radios to take with me (they are all in the east coast). Once I get there I will have some ICOM radios (ICOM 5100A and an ID-1 installed). Again, I am not out to start a "religious war", just get some opinions from people about (obviously) programmability (keypad and via computer) as well as day to day function and experiences. I appreciate in advance everyone's comments. 73, Stuart, N3GWG

[chirp_users] MTC uv-5r-3 Self-inflicted problem
by Bruce McJones 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

I just got a Baofeng UV5R-3 from MTCRadio. I didn't realize that the radio could be found under MTC for the brand, but in the meantime I found that I could upload from it in regular UV5R mode. I ended up downloading an image to it from a regular UV5R. Then I discovered that Chirp had it covered already under MTC. I have tried resetting it and uploading from it, but i can't get it to work. Does anyone have a known-good image that I could attempt to load onto the phone and make it happy again? Or any other advice? My son also bought one and hasn't tried programming his yet. I have warned him of my folly and asked him to save me a blank image file from his when he gets around to it. Thanks, Bruce W8BPM

I have recently purchased a BTech two bander, have several other similar 2M/.70cm HT’s that work great; still not sure if it is programmed correctly on 220, receives local repeat fine but doesn’t seem to open it. Unfortunately it isn’t used much. Used CHIRP to program it and it only has CTSS on up. Also found a Yeasu FT24 HT on sale for under $70 dual band, very nice little radio.

[chirp_users] I had a driver, then I lost it. (Mac OS issue)
by T.E. Klamberg Klamberg 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

I had installed the driver for a USB cable from Valley Enterprise for my Yaesu FT-60. Three installs and it (Mac) finally recognized the driver and cable. That was six months back. I acquired another cable for my Yaesu FT-29 2m radio. I must have got an OS update (High Sierra OS, version 10.13.6) that I cannot call up the drivers for either one (it should be only one driver upgrade). I haven’t even got to the part of trying to get Chirp to frustrate me! I know there are folks out there that have more computer smarts than I, especially when it comes to Mac. Anyone have any ideas, short of becoming a programmer? Thanks. Tip N9MVX Mascoutah, IL

Chirp has suddenly stopped communicating with my 897. I have checked all com port settings in the program/computer/and radio All are OK. The 897 will still work with other programs on the same com port. Rebooted, no jot. Should I try and reset the radio? Randy W4RTT

[chirp_users] Keeping Repeater setting
by AC1CX 24 Jul '18

24 Jul '18

The problem I have, and it was apparent in earlier versions but seems to be a serious issue with the most recent early July version. while programming when you move to the next line the settings for the PL tones on the previous line you just used change, whether or not you hit the save button; The most common setting reverting to is a PL tone of 88.5. Also does not want to keep settings when repeater use a stone instead of TSQL (A one-sided tone repeater). I am having great difficulty programming a B Tech hand held in 220.

[chirp_users] Having Trouble with Chirp and Windows 8
by Robert Smits 24 Jul '18

24 Jul '18

I've been having trouble getting Chirp to work with my Baofeng GT3 and a Windows 8 machine. Chirp just cannot read the usb port and the radio. I have tried a different cable (that ironically worked under Win 7) and this cable worked with a different radio (same model) and Win 10. The software I have installed is chirp-daily-20180707-installer.exe. When the cable is plugged in I can see the description in device manager. Some suggestions about where to go from here would be appreciated.

[chirp_users] CHIRP: First time SUCCESS!
by mike-2007＠elp.rr.com 24 Jul '18

24 Jul '18

DAN. I just thought you might want a HAPPY message. I hate upgrades, and software problems always seem to find me. But when I was dusting out my 8 y/o Win-7 (64 bit) computer I found some swelled caps on the motherboard. Hardware doesn't scare me, and I have the caps to replace them. But really, it was time to move up to Win-10. I am going from a 2.3 GHz Duo-Core processor on 2 GB of RAM to a 3.6 GHz Octo-Core processor on 16 GB of Ram, and a 128 MB SSD. The old 21" monitors are not compatible with the new computer, so I got 2 new 27" monitors. Quite a move up. THE GOOD NEWS? I installed the DRIVER for my RT-Systems USB-62 cable. I installed CHIRP. I opened CHIRP. It found my USB-62 cable on Comm-3. I connected to my FT-817ND and downloaded my memory configuration. FIRST TRY. No Win-10 difficulties here. Yeah - the RT-Systems cable wasn't $5. More like $25. But the value of it working first time (and every time)? PRICELESS. My time is precious too, and worth more than $20 worth of cable savings. On to more software installations. I am sure something will give me trouble. But CHIRP and RT-Systems cables will NOT be it. Vy73 - Mike - KD5KC. El Paso, Texas - DM61rt. SOTA W5T-Texas Association Manager.

[chirp_users] ICOM 2730A
by Matthew Kerrigan 21 Jul '18

21 Jul '18

Recently tried programming my Icom-2730a with Chirps latest build (July-7-2018). Im running chirp on my Mac with OSX High Sierra. I was able to read from the radio just fine, but when it came to the upload, the software would stall within the first 5 seconds. I would have to force quite chirp and hard shut down my mobile to exit everything. Im using the latest drivers with with my Prolific Chipset cable for MAC OSX. I later used a Windows machine running the same build of chirp and everything read and uploaded just fine. Any information on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated, I don’t always have access to a Windows machine regularly. Thanks, Matt

[chirp_users] Baofeng BF-888S Plus and BF-999S
by Richard AG5M 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

I have the original Baofeng BF-888S, but since them there appears to have been two updated versions, known as BF-888S Plus, one with an 1800 mAH battery, and the latest version with a 1900mAH battery. Question is, does CHIRP support all three versions of the BF-888S? And I see there is also a BF-999S version available but not listed on the CHIRP list. Does CHIRP also support that radio? Tnx, 73, Richard AG5M

[chirp_users] UV-5R
by Dennis Wage 19 Jul '18

I have 2 UV-5Rs and UV-5RA When hold the 3 key and turn on the power to get the firmware version they all report: BFB297 However, in Other Settings Firmware message 1 and 2 are as follows UV-5R #1 - HN5RV01 1FB297 (THIS RADIO IS HORRIBLE) UV-5R #2 - HN5RV01 1 UV-5RA - N5R2407 BFB297 I have some of the weirdest problems with these radios. For example on the UV-5RA (which seems to be the best one of the 3 ), with this one particular repeater I have to hit exit or A/B twice get rid of background noise during an incoming transmission. WHY EXIT??? How this pertains to chirp is I downloaded the RESET image from Miklor for firmware version BFB297. I get the warning about wrong firmware version with each radio. Can or does Chirp upload, or download from radio for that matter, any settings not seen in Chirp? Dennis M.

[chirp_users] MacOS - Chirp Windowing Misalignment
by Jerry Weiss 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

I have a problem with Chirp on MacOS, specifically 10.12 or 10.13 with the most recent build or (much) older ones. I have two separate Mac's, one is my regular machine and the other is a test machine I just loaded with the latest downloads for chirp and python today. On both my mouse cursor doesn't track accurately with controls or cells in the Chirp window. The offset is vertical about 1 or 2 cells or controls typically. When this occurs I either see the bottom of the screen is either truncated or has a black band at the bottom, equal to the amount of offset. If I resize the screen, the cursor alignment is restored for a while, but it never lasts for more than a few actions. No special mouse/cursor software installed. Anyone seen this before? Separate question - is there a way to search archives? Thanks and regards, Jerry - WB9MRI

[chirp_users] Easy Way to Print Baofeng Channel Listing
by Bob Miller 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

I am an old guy who just recently got back into Amateur Radio after fifty years and my first purchase was a Baofeng UV-82HP to experiment with on two meters. Kudos to the people who gave Chirp to the World, however, I think I need a Cheat Sheet of sorts so I would like to print the channel listing when I clone my radio. I hope such a utility is available and I just haven't found it. Incidentally Repeaters hadn't been invented the last time I was into Ham Radio. Bmiller(a)jocoed.net KN4MWQ

[chirp_users] More communications problems
by Bruce Warren 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

My problems continue. I have a Yaesu VX-6R and am using Chirp on a Mac. My prior issue was an incompatibility between my operating system and the USB driver. I can now communicate and download from my radio to my computer. But, I cannot upload from the computer to the radio. When I try to upload, the process starts and I can see the blue progress bar. Then, the radio reports an "Error" and Chirp just sits there doing nothing. I have tried downloading the one programmed frequency and then immediately uploading it, but get the error described above. I have also tried with data I enter directly into Chirp. Any ideas?

[chirp_users] Mac to Vaesu communication problem
by Bruce Warren 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

I am using a Mac with OS 10.6.8. I want to use Chirp to communicate with a Yaesu VX-6R. I have a USB cable from RT Systems specifically designated for the Yaesu. I installed the driver and my computer says it recognizes the USB cable. I installed a version of Chirp and it does not crash. When I try to download from my radio using Command-D, I get a window for selecting the Port, Vendor, and model. Under the choice for Port, I get two options: "/dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync" and "/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem". When I try with "/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem", it immediately tells me it cannot open the port. When I try with " /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync", it tries to do something and then errors out, saying: "Failed to communicate with the radio." Any ideas on what is wrong or what I can do to fix it?

[chirp_users] IC-92AD Band edge issues
by Chuck Hast 07 Jul '18

07 Jul '18

I am still getting a lot of errors when I try to work with my IC-92AD. Has this radio been abandoned? Wenlock and I both have observed the same sort of errors, but we are not sure what needs to be done. If the radio is abandoned perhaps it should be taken off of the supported list. If someone can give us some guidance as to where to poke we can try to do as much as possible. But at this point I for sure do not know much more than what Wenlock has ob- served it appears to be an issue with the The present machine running Ubuntu Mate 18.04 CPU i7 Memory 16G As I recall this was one of the first radios Chirp was aimed at. I know that it is not spring chicken but sure would like to see Chirp handle it like it used to. -- Chirp + Editcp + MD380Tools on Linux Celestial!!! Chuck -- KP4DJT
