Re: Difficulty installing legacy version
by Jeremy Borum 18 Jun '24

Thank you Martin! This is a known issue, and unfortunately Chirp won’t work on OSX 10.11. The legacy version was built on 10.13 and uses a function that does not exist in the libraries of earlier versions of the OS. It appears that the issue was not resolved, so I’ll try on my PC instead. Bug #9393 MacOS Unified Application does not run on El Capitan <https://chirpmyradio.com/issues/9393> Much appreciated! On Jun 16, 2024, at 4:50 PM, Martin Cooper <mfncooper(a)gmail.com> wrote: If you're comfortable using Mac Terminal, try this to see if you can at least see what the problem is: $ cd /Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS $ ./chirpw In the first line, substitute "CHIRP" with whatever the name of your Chirp application is. Yes, the application is a folder, so you can cd into it. :-) In the second line, I am pretty sure that's what the Chirp executable is named, but I don't have a legacy version handy to check. If it doesn't work, type 'ls -l' and look for a file (not a directory) with a name starting with 'chirp' that is executable (i.e. has an 'x' in the list of flags on the left). There were quite a few issues around Chirp startup on Mac in older versions of MacOS, so once you try the above and hopefully get some kind of error message in the terminal, you might want to do a search through the open issues to see if someone has suggested a workaround. https://chirpmyradio.com/projects/chirp/issues <https://chirpmyradio.com/projects/chirp/issues> Hope that helps.

Conversion from RT Systems Export to Chirp CSV Import
by Mark Wolfe 17 Jun '24

17 Jun '24

I had to program an FT857d that I picked up, but my "current" memories were in my ftm-500 which I used the rt systems file to program (on my mac). First thing I did was export CSV, but then chirp wouldn't import. Started looking around and there wasn't any utility to do this, bummer. Everyone was just cutting/pasting between two spreadsheets and modifying columns. Looking at the outputs, you just need to map some columns and change some column names. So I whipped up a little script that will take an input file from rtsystems and output csv that will directly import into chirp. It does require python 3.10 or newer to run as it uses match/case rather than an endless set of if/elif/else. Hope people find it useful, I did see a thread where someone was already having the same problem I was. https://github.com/eflowkram/rtsys2chirp

Installation Problem
by Ron Barbish 15 Jun '24

15 Jun '24

Hello Trying to install CHIRP on an ASUS Chromebook with a Debian GNU 11 Bullseye Linux environment. Installation instructions on the website followed. Running "$ pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20240614-py3-none-any.whl" results with " Unable to parse package spec: ./chirp-20240614-py3-none-any.whl". I have moved the "chirp-20240614-py3-none-any.whl" to different directories with no success. Python 3.9.2. wxPython 4.0.7. CHIRP worked on this device until it stopped updating with an incorrect Python version message. I reset the Linux environment and reinstalled CHIRP, no love. Everything else works. The Linux "environment" is tough to work with, I would appreciate any help.

Difficulty Programming ICOM 2720 using macOS Monterey
by brianwjoy1＠gmail.com 14 Jun '24

14 Jun '24

Hello, I am trying to program a new-to-me ICOM 2720 using my macOS Montery. I am using CHIRP next-20240111. I've struggled to find any instructions on using CHIRP with this particular radio, but do see it on the supported radio list. From what I can tell, my Mac recognizes the Prolific USB cable I am using (it appears/disappears from my "System Report" when it is plugged/unplugged. However, CHIRP's "Help Me" feature from the Radio Download screen does not seem to detect which port the USB cable is connected to. Any assistance with troubleshooting or next steps would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Radio equivalents
by Adam Parsons 07 Jun '24

07 Jun '24

Hi, I've just joined the list, in the hope I can get a little help with a couple of radios I'm just trying to program. Firstly, I've had a pair of Abbree AR-V2 radios for a while (maybe a year or so), but Chirp doesn't seem to support them. I'm kinda surprised after so long they've not been added, but maybe they are just rare. Is there an equivalent radio I can select instead? These are simple PMR-style radios with no keypad (just a on-off/volume knob, PTT and up/down buttons) with a 5-character LED display that appears through the speaker grille, if that helps anyone recognise it as another model. Even the Abbree web site doesn't list them. I think I got them from AliExpress... The radio I'm more interested in programming, however, is a newish model - the Baofeng P15UV. A friend of mine has bought a pair of these, and I'm hoping to program them for him (literally) in the field. I've looked around, and think they could be equivalent to: UV-15R GMR-15S GM-898 GM-15X TH-15S AI-15X AT-15UV G-15UV GM-30 TD-H5 ...however, Chirp doesn't yet seem to list any of these as supported. Does anyone have any experience with any of them? Any suggestions would be gratefully received! Thanks, Adam

Updating/installing Chirp on Linux, or not as it seems to be.
by Dave B 02 Jun '24

02 Jun '24

Well. Just for the heck of it, I went ahead, following the published (on https://chirpmyradio.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux ) instructions. What follows below, was performed on LMDE 5. (Linux Mint Debian Edition. In effect, Mint without the Ubuntu influences.) Chirp was not running, I had checked it worked OK before uninstalling. A fresh file was downloaded from :- https://archive.chirpmyradio.com/chirp_next/next-20240531/chirp-20240531-py… Without errors or warnings... Then, from my home folder in a terminal session... dave@hp-compaq-sfdt:~$ pipx uninstall chirp uninstalled chirp! ✨ 🌟 ✨ That worked... dave@hp-compaq-sfdt:~$ pipx install --system-site-packages /home/dave/Downloads/chirp-20240531-py3-none-any.whl (The path and file *are valid*) The result? ERROR: Package 'chirp' requires a different Python: 3.9.2 not in '<4,>=3.10' Cannot determine package name from spec '/home/dave/Downloads/chirp-20240531-py3-none-any.whl'. Check package spec for errors. Checking my installed version of Python 3... dave@hp-compaq-sfdt:~$ python3 --version Python 3.9.2 Even copying the downloaded file to my home folder and ... dave@hp-compaq-sfdt:~$ pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20240531-py3-none-any.whl ERROR: Package 'chirp' requires a different Python: 3.9.2 not in '<4,>=3.10' Cannot determine package name from spec '/home/dave/chirp-20240531-py3-none-any.whl'.

Check package spec for errors. So what gives? As can be seen the basic error is the same regardless of how I reference the package file. As before, I'm a relatively experienced Linux user, and had installed Chirp Next using pipx in the past, but into a virgin system. Are the website instructions wrong or just incomplete, or have I misinterpreted the instructions? Either way, THIS is why an automated script is needed, even if there has to be different versions for (example) Fedora vs Debian based distro's. If Python needs updating, then.. !!! THE REQUIRED MINIMUM VERSION SHOULD BE MENTIONED ON THE WEBSITE !!! (Sorry to shout, but...) 73.

Looks a lot like my issues as well, in Arch Linux in SteamOS. No matter whatever I attempt to use, be it the instructions on the Linux installation page on the Chirp site or the page about installing the outdated Chirp version in the threads about installing it on SteamOS. If I can manage to get it installed, I cannot uninstall it, update/upgrade it, nor reinstall it if I do manage to get rid of it, (usually by finding the app and deleting it's folder in my apps folder.)

If by target it meant the .tar.gz file or even the .whl file, both were in download folder, plus in devices, "apps" folder and have both added in the path. (Not simultaneously.) Trying to use pipx produces pipx doesn't exist error even though Python is supposed to be installed and it's full versions installed of versions 2, 3, and 4. All of the supposed dependencies are installed, yet it can't neither "upgrade", "reinstall", "uninstall", nor "install" chirp-next in any form or fashion. Nothing is able to produce a workable version of Chirp on SteamOS (Arch Linux on Steam Deck), currently. At least not on my deck. (Have to admit, I hate Arch Linux, and am very new to using it, let alone Linux altogether but, have less problem getting things done on Debian based Linux's.)

on the latest version of Chirp-Next I'm unable to find a Baofeng UV-B6 radio. I'm pretty sure there was one in the old version of Chirp so I assume there is an equivilent radio model that can be used. But which one ? I've tried downloading rig data usung the UV-B5 model but no joy. Ideas please... Yes, I know its an old radio and newer, better ones are cheaper etc.- but its almost idiot proof and with helpfully limited menu options. thanks

(I can't use the s/w that should come with the radio because GigaParts did not send that to me yet.) Any suggestions? Rich Medved RichM(a)Duck.com

Best substitute model to use in CHIRP for Baofeng AR-5RM
by Bob Meyer 28 May '24

28 May '24

I just bought a Baofeng AR-5RM from Amazon. (... less than $30, of course). It's an 8 watt (more or less), 999 channel, tri-band (2m, 1.25m, 70cm) radio with AM air band receive capability. It seems to do all those things, but it's not currently support by CHIRP. I was wondering whether anyone could suggest an alternative in CHIRP. The Amazon page for the radio shows an image showing that it can be programmed by telling CHIRP it's a UV-17Pro. Well, that kind-a sort-a works, but doesn't handle the radio's full capabilities. First off, it doesn't recognize that there are three power levels. Also, I can enter and store air band AM frequencies on the radio itself, but I can't add nor even edit those entries when read from the radio. Just looking for a suggestion. Thanks! Oh, by the way, the radio didn't even come with the correct manual. The manual is for the "BF-5RH SERIES", and it makes no mention of the 1.25m capability, AM air band receive, or higher power.

how to open/use older version
by Scoobie D 27 May '24

27 May '24

I have the Chirp software on my old MacBook Pro (cira 2009) Running version 10.10.5. I can no longer open it on that laptop. I was trying to load each profile to my Baofeg UV-5R to move them to my newer MacBook Pro., but I'm not able to open Chirp on my older model. Am I out of luck or is there some way to open the older chirp version?

Vox In Chirp Settings Tyt 9800
by K0LNY ?? 13 May '24

13 May '24

Hi, I have a Tyt 9800, and being Blind, I cannot read the display. I downloaded from the radio with the Tyt software, and found no setting in that software to activate VOX. I'm wondering if I installed Chirp on the laptop I've used with the Tyt software, if this model has an option in the settings tab of Chirp to turn on VOX. It's probably in the radio menus that comes up on its display, but I cannot read that, and I'm hoping I can turn it on with some software. Thanks. Glenn Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. Glenn K0LNY & WSAT439

Continuous debug logging?
by Richard May 02 May '24

02 May '24

It seems CHIRP doesn't flush debug logs to disk until the user selects "open debug log" or "show debug log location." Is there a way to invoke continuous flush? I ask because I'm using a new 3rd party module where CHRIP freezes if I select the Settings tab for my radio. There's no way to invoke a log flush at this point. Thanks!

Program version in Windows registry
by radziolo96＠gmail.com 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Once again - I KINDLY REQUEST to add a parameter to the installer for Windows that will add an entry to the registry about the installed version of the program. Am I asking too much? The installer needs to add the registry subkey to make it fully compatible with package managers like winget, which would be able to show the correct (not "unknown") version of the currently installed program, and users will be able to determine their program's version and possibly upgrade to the new version. Then I will be able to automate the process of winget's repo PR and everything will work. I just want to make CHIRP-next easier to update for users who use package managers for Windows systems - why are you so hostile towards me? Banned Redmine account for reporting a bug (YES - IT IS A BUG! Almost EVERY program has its version registry subkey in the Windows system!) and trying to get you to finally put this parameter in the .exe installer? C'mon! I just want to help, but I need your help in the first place. Isn't that what open source is all about? Helping each other to make software better? Sam - you rejected bug #10163 (the one I supposedly "duplicated") completely unreasonably, because it is the developer's job to make the installer work properly! Please remember - the WinGet package manager is an open source project. I love Linux and hate how MS treats Windows, but why so much passive aggression towards Windows users? Because I can't think of any other way to explain your attitude. Best wishes! 73! SP9RF

Chirp and the Retevis RT95
by Chris Hart 25 Apr '24

25 Apr '24

Hi! I am a 75 year old newbie to the world of Amateur Radio and would appreciate some help. I have a Retevis RT95 Radio and want to program it with a number of frequencies I already have in a file from a Baufeng Radio. I only have Mac OS computers. I have used Chirp on my Mac with the Baufeng without problem being able to upload and download files. The Retevis seems to connect to Chirp but when I try to download the data in the radio Chirp reports an error that it is unable to connect. Is Chirp, on a Mac OS device, compatible with the Retevis RT 95? If it is, should I be looking for some setting in the radio which is, somehow, blocking Chirp having access. Any help would be appreciated! Regards, Chris Sent from my iPad

New Baofeng GT-3TP won't transmit 450MHz up
by Ceferino Lamb 17 Apr '24

17 Apr '24

I just received a box of new GT-3TPs, and programmed them with CHIRP to my standard settings. But apparently they won't transmit in GMRS freqs, where I have both ham and GMRS licenses. In CHIRP Other Settings, here are the settings: UHF Lower Limit (MHZ) 400 UHF Upper Limit (MHz) 600 UHF TX Enabled check I reset one HT to factory and experimented with the rig bone stock. For it and the whole box of HTs. the highest they will go is 449.995MHz. Above that, the PTT button just beeps, as if the keyboard lock were on. Is this some new restriction? Can I use CHIRP to get around it? -- //CRL Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Fwd: I must be doing something wrong.
by Joel Leland 13 Apr '24

I am using ZORIN PRO 17.1. I just upgraded from 15.something. Chirp was working just fine on the 15. I'm using a BAOFENG UV-5R. I have tried 2 different cables, which both worked before this upgrade. I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong. That is what usually happens. I have tried /dev/ttyUSB0 up to USB4 with no success. I could just have syntax wrong which is usually the case. I am not real good with the command line; i.e. I don't know a lot of commands but I do know how to get there. The attached file will show the information on the CHIRP version. It is a screen shot from the HELP prompt. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help -- Joel F. Leland
