Baofeng UV-5R8W
by Eric 10 Apr '24

10 Apr '24

For the Baofeng UV-5R8W, which radio should I select? I am thinking it should be the BF-F8HP, but want to make sure since it is not listed on the web site (https://chirpmyradio.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home). Thanks, Eric

Digital trunked receiver
by jrwalt1＠gmail.com 07 Apr '24

07 Apr '24

Does anyone have a digital trunk receiver that they can program to the new police frequencies that are scrambled? I don’t think particularly that they are scrambled. I think they are probably just coated so that you can’t get into that digital trunk. Any information on it thank you so much Jim Walters. Sent from my iPhone

RadioReference issues
by Dan Smith 06 Apr '24

06 Apr '24

Hi all, Just wanted to get the word out that something appears to have changed on the RadioReference API that is preventing us from doing queries. I've reported it to them and hopefully they can either fix it, or help explain what has changed so CHIRP can handle the difference. Anyway, before too many bugs get opened I thought I'd give a heads up. If you want to follow the progress, this is the bug for it: https://www.chirpmyradio.com/issues/11286 --Dan

Greetings All! I just got a new Baofeng UV-75 Pro and would like to program it using Chirp (if Possible) as all my other UV-5R family radios are programmed through Chirp and I was hoping this would be feasible. Thanks for your help and guidance. Larry WRWH885 Larry Louree, PMP Problem Solver Palmetto, Florida 34221 cell: 407-697-1869

frequency limits in edit
by Robi Akerley-McKee 04 Apr '24

04 Apr '24

In settings-other settings-VHF Upper Limit (Mhz) and settings-other settings-UHF Upper Limit (Mhz) and the corresponding lower limits.. Thes e should be followed when entering frequency values in memories. So if you set VHF upper to 226, you should be able to input 224.6000 into the frequency memory entry. Radio in question is Baofeng UV-5R *Robi Akerley-McKee, Ham Radio: k6pqz General*

Setting Compander for AR-63/TXQ-G63
by kujulu＠gmail.com 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

Is it possible to set Compander on AR-63 radios using CHIRP? With the TXQ (PC) software verging on unusable on Windows 11 ARM for MacOS users, I am now reliant on CHIRP to program my Abbree AR-63 (TXQ-G63). Have I overlooked a setting in CHIRP? If not what's the best way to get this setting onto CHIRP? I'm very happy to fire over one of my radios to a dev if that would help.

CHIRP editing question
by Ken Roberts 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

Simple editing question: I can select and edit a row, but I can't select and edit a column. For example, I want to select the NFM mode in multiple rows and change it to FM. There doesn't seem to be any way to do it. If I select multiple rows, it will only change the first entry in the column. What am I missing? I would like to see it work more like Excel. Ken

Uniden Scanner Support
by EliteG1 31 Mar '24

31 Mar '24

Hello Group, The new list seems to be doing well... I'm noticing a lot of new modules being added to the tool, and I'm wondering if anyone has revisited the possibility of adding support for the Uniden Scanner Line. I use a BC-780 XLT to monitor Amateur, GMRS, and PS. I leave it connected to the main desktop (LinuxMint v20.4) 24/7 via serial cable, and I would use it a lot more if it were able to be programmed by Chirp... 73, Bruce KB6LWN

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: larry louree <larrylouree(a)gmail.com> To: chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Cc: Bcc: Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2024 18:18:28 -0400 Subject: Baofeng UV-75 Pro 10 watt Radio Greetings! I just ordered a Baofeng UV-75 Pro 10 Watt High Power Walkie talkie to add to my collection of UV-5R 8 watt radios for family and community event support. I checked the Chirp web page, knowing that many of these use the same software, and I couldn't find a UV-75 of any version in the listing. Is it possible that this might be a UV-17 Pro? there was some note in the software part of the data page that 'might' use the UV-17 software to program this radio. I"m hoping that I will be able to cut and paste my UV-5R programs into this radios Chirp framework and be able to be on line pretty quickly. Or Is there another method to program it? Thanks in Advance.

11 Mar '24

This is my experience so far with CHIRP and the TM-D700A radio. The radio receives input from CHIRP in Live mode, with changes being in near real-time on the control head. Turning the radio off and on and then re-downloading the memory slots displays what was entered previously (of course it would, why are you mentioning that?). I can understand why RT Systems stopped supporting this model calling it a cranky radio. Here are some observed anomalies, and the solutions I found to work after much experimentation: * Although the frequencies and memory names from CHIRP stick with the radio, the Tones do not, and even if the correct tone is there, moving to another memory slot and back to the previous memory loses the Tone setting. This was odd as the re-download from the radio had the correct tones still there, while the radio [F] --> [T.SEL] displayed a completely different and as far as I can tell unrelated tone frequency. The solution to this has been to load the memory into the VFO and enter the correct tone in VFO mode; then re-save the complete setting back to its memory slot. Dont hold the M.IN button too long (> 1s) or it will enter as Split mode (±), and thats a cul-de-sac not to be trapped in (the escape is going into VFO mode and back to the intended memory slot using another memory slot thats in the proper +/- offset for the target repeater). Its unclear to me why this radio just wont accept what its told to configure. * This radio pays attention to which Band its in (see TM-D700 Manual, p.41). By default Band A (the Left knob) is for VHF, and Band B (the Right knob) is for UHF. Ive learned to be sure to bring up for PTT in the Band associated with the frequency in a specific memory slot (listening to anything on either Band works fine with no problem). That also is the case for programming a memory slot, that is, program VHF frequencies with Band A and UHF frequencies with Band B, including correcting the Tone setting that it received from CHIRP and didnt keep. * Im not sure this is something that CHIRP can solve: The Repeater Book look ups contain errors in the Tone settings. A couple of examples Im directly familiar with are: * The 146.13/73 repeater in Frederick, MD operates on Tone only (not CTCSS). The Repeater Book CHIRP lookup displays this repeater as TSQL (which sets the radio into CTCSS mode when applied). This repeater does not provide a downlink tone, resulting in dead silence in CTCSS mode. * The 146.295/895 repeater in Manchester, MD is a multi-access repeater listed in the manually accessed Repeater Book listing as: 146.8950 -0.6 MHz CSQ / 107.2 Manchester Carroll N3KZS OPEN FM AllStar IRLP CHIRP will not load the listing for this repeater from its Repeater Book lookup saying this radio does not support Cross Tone mode: [146.895000/-0.600/107.2] Tone Mode: Cross; Cross Mode: -> Tone However, Ive successfully accessed this repeater with this radio using the 107.2 tone listed, after manually entering it into its memory slot. Hope these observations help people use CHIRP to help them work through the TM-D700A radios crankiness. Thanks, Mark AC3EW

[chirp_users] Stable low cost radio with flat audio
by Chuck Hast 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

I am asking this question here as I believe there is a good collection of folks who are familiar with different radios. Of course whatever is recommended I hope it can be programmed with Chirp. I am looking for a handheld radio that can do 12.5khz bw audio that can be used for data. I would hope it would have a flat audio in/out port but if not mods are part of the game. It needs to be frequency stable (I will be using it for data) and 12.5khz channel widths. and of course programmable with Chirp. The radio cost needs to be low, I would like to keep the whole project under $500. I will need two radios 1 for RX and 1 for TX. There will be a controller involved. If need be I will put each radio in a can for isolation. This is for a solar project so that is also part of the reason to try to use a handheld. -- Chuck -- KP4DJT HamHotline # 11259

[chirp_users] UV-17ProGPS
by Ryan Knowles 09 Mar '24

09 Mar '24

Hello, New to the Amateur Radio hobby, as well as the CHIRP software, and I apologize in advance as I must be missing a step in the programming of my radio. I have my Frequencies ready, and Banks individually names to match, though my CHIRP interface is missing the Banks tab to be able to apply my frequencies to each configured Bank as needed. Additionally, I do see within the Info tab, on the Features page that the has_bank and has_bank_index options are set to False. Could this be related to the absence of the Banks tab? Thank you in advance for any guidance available!

[chirp_users] New domain
by Dan Smith 06 Mar '24

06 Mar '24

Hi all, After almost 16 years as a subdomain on my personal one, CHIRP has a proper domain name of it's own: https://chirpmyradio.com This has been on my todo list for quite some time, but it has always been lower priority than other things and it just kept slipping. Once the first decade passed it was hard to imagine the change. However, some changes Google (mail) is putting into place is making this more urgent than it has ever been, which is as good an excuse as any. You'll start to see this new domain name pop up in more and more places. The new name points to the exact same place that the old one does, so there's no *need* to use one or the other at this point. Since the old domain has 16 years of rust on it, it will take some time to fully migrate over, and I plan to do it as gracefully as possible without breaking links, search results, etc. Once things are ready I'll start redirecting parts of the old domain to the new one. At some point I'll also need to move this mailing list to the new name as well. So, if you see the new domain don't panic, nothing has been hijacked. Just closing out some 16-year-old todo list items :) --Dan

[chirp_users] Duration of power-on message
by Massimo Nespolo 06 Mar '24

Greetings from France, Does anybody know if there is an option to increase the length of the power-on message on Baofeng UV-5R? It shows up very shortly when powering on the radio. It would be nice to have it for a couple of seconds, the time to read what's shown. Thank you in advance.

[chirp_users] Dev/Interface Q: New WebChirp using WebSerial?
by Ryan Sayre 06 Mar '24

06 Mar '24

Hi there, I've been a Chirp user for quite some time, and in light of the codebase being modernized, I wanted to ask whether there may be an opportunity for a Webserial-based version of the app in the future. Yeah, a browser-driven version of Chirp. In the era where email clients, office suites, and more are driven from the browser, Chirp functionality is capable of doing this as well and could be pretty useful and cool. * What's WebSerial? The Web Serial API provides a way for websites to read and write from a serial device through script. Such an API would bridge the web and the physical world, by allowing documents to communicate with devices such as microcontrollers, 3D printers, and other serial devices. The living document behind this project backed by the W3 Consortium is here: https://wicg.github.io/serial/ * Are there similar WebSerial projects (programming standalone devices) to Chirp? Yes! IDEs, Bootloaders, Code programming tools, charting tools, and device controllers are all using this with good success. I found a lot of these here: https://github.com/louisfoster/awesome-web-serial * Are there radio examples of using WebSerial? Yes! Check out this recent Hackaday article on updating a new inexpensive Chinese handheld radio with upgraded firmware: https://hackaday.com/2023/08/13/update-your-chinese-radio-without-the-pain/ * How would this work with Chirp and how would this benefit users? Chirp is constantly being updated with new radios and repeater/frequency lists are changing often. Imagine a single website that makes things easy and always the latest version. It would be cross-platform too. Always up to date frequency lists: A hosted version would (in theory) be up to date and could potentially offer a single-click download of nearby repeaters/frequencies with browser geolocation which many websites do all of the time. Local files supported: Settings could be overridden/changed at any point. This is meant to be the easy button for a huge number of users that want to quickly program their radios once and be done with it. * Does this remove the ability to have a standalone Chirp app? No! This is not a lock-in choice. * Did I try to see if this was discussed already? Yes, but couldn't seem to find any discussion of it, nor was it in the FAQ. I think I'm actually local to Dan in case he reads it and wants me to buy him a beer or coffee and share my enthusiasm for webserial. Maybe I bring a Quansheng UV-K5 and a laptop and flash it in front of him using webserial! ;-) Thanks for hearing out my idea.

[chirp_users] No Download from Kenwood TM-D700a
by mark＠marwalk.com 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

I have the Kenwood TM-D700A powered on and connected to my computer via a BlueMax49ers FTDI cable. Chirp correctly identifies the COM port confirmed as the FTDI cable in Device Manager. The Radio --> Download from Radio menu selection opens the popup with the COM port, make, and model selections all available. Clicking OK results in the FTDI lights blinking for a few seconds and then nothing. What's missing where there's no download of the radio's memory, which has most all memory slots filled with something? Thanks, Mark AC3EW

[chirp_users] Baofeng 'waterproof' models
by d＠deutrino.net 02 Mar '24

02 Mar '24

Hi folks, and thanks to Jim and others for prior answers. I am looking for recommendations of a Baofeng 'waterproof' model that meets these criteria: * dual-band and TX capable (or unlockable) over a range similar to old-school UV-5R * mature CHIRP driver and/or minimal history of firmware quirks * USB charging by port in the radio itself (no barrel plug dongles) if available I got a couple UV-9R Pro but found they have issues thus far, not sure if CHIRP related, hardware related, or other, but it rules that model out until I can figure out what the problem is. I got three GT-3WP and so far, while two of them work great, it looks like I got three models with three sets of quirks (one of those being the null set, but still, it doesn't inspire confidence) I got a UV-9R Plus and was afraid to program it for several months after the UV-9R Pro problems, I finally did so today, and it appears to work perfectly. But there's always the question of what will happen with the next one. I understand these are very inexpensive radios and there is always going to be a nonzero chance of getting one with strange new firmware. I'm basically just looking for people's input on what they see as the most solid choice in a 'waterproof' unit (yes I know they are only water resistant) from the Baofeng brand, preferably with built-in USB charge capability, with the lowest chance of upsetting surprises when I attempt to program it with CHIRP. And again. I know they are cheap radios. The next phase of my project is finding something that does all of the above (including a TX range comparable to the UV-5R), but with higher build quality and better durability. Feel free to pipe up if you have recommendations for that, too. Although for right now I am specifically looking at Baofengs. Thanks again. This is a very helpful group.

Greetings from France. When I first got my UV-5R, the channel programming with CHIRP was performed by a friend, who locked the menu button to prevent a beginner like me to make any mistake which could have screwed the programming. Now I would like to unlock the menu, but I cannot figure out how to do it. I did quite a lot of internet research, but I could only find duplicate tutorials on how to lock the pad with the key button. That is not what I am looking for, of course. The menu button is unresponsive, I would like to unlock it. Thank you in advance for your help.

Dan, et alia: Thank you to eveyone that has worked so hard to make Chirp such an amazing piece of software! It has been well over a decade since I looked at using Chirp (I have used it in the past) and now am re-evaluating what software I will use for my programming needs (especially since I do far more on Linux and macOS, thus Chirp is interesting again). I see it can handle my senior citizen radios of a Kenwood TM-D700 and my ID-5100. However, conspicuously absent from the list are several radios that interest me and I am wondering if anyone can speak to the likelihood of their being supported in the near future? 1) ICOM ID-52A 2) Anytone At-D878II-PLUS (will be arriving this week 3) I may soon have an ID-51A Anniversary Edition again (which I think is basically an ID-51A Plus) If there are issues with supporting any of these radios I'd like to understand them as I am a Computer Scientist myself with some Python coding experience.

[chirp_users] uv5r driver makes mem.duplex and mem.offset immutable for gt-5r
by jackson＠f-m.fm 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

I've been using chirp for a few days and I've run into an issue. Lines 1036-1041 of uv5r.py, specifically. The radio can be put into "factory mode" (freeband mode) by starting it up while holding moni+ptt+vfo/mr but these lines in the driver preclude duplex operation outside the amateur bands. I plan on keeping it in "amateur" mode most of the time, but I would like these channels to be programmed correctly. I presume these lines exist just to prevent having an uplink frequency out of band with downlink in-band, but would it not suffice just to warn the user rather than lock these settings down? As a temporary measure, can I simply comment these lines out? FYI, switching between "factory" and "amateur" (ptt+5) modes did not appear to affect the image that chirp downloads as they both had an identical checksum. Any relevant info is appreciated. Jackson

[chirp_users] Icom IC-746Pro
by Eric Poole 23 Feb '24

23 Feb '24

Good afternoon all, from a new Chirp user. Is there a difference between the Icom IC-746 and IC-746Pro in the way it communicates from the Remote port? I downloaded and installed Chirp and tried to connect to my IC-746Pro using the Chirp IC-746 configuration, and could not connect. Tried the same thing with my IC-7300 (using the Chirp IC-7300 configuration) and it connected and programmed the memories just fine, so the cable and the computer's USB port are working as they should. I did verify that CI-V is turned on in the radio and the address is set to 0x66. (Speaking of which, how do I set the address in Chirp? Maybe that's the problem...) Thanks...

[chirp_users] Help with Chirp re Baofeng UV-5R
by Phil C 16 Feb '24

16 Feb '24

Hi all. I believe this is the correct way to post asking for help with the Chirp program? If not, could you point me in the right direction please? I have a Baofeng UV-5R which I want to use to monitor radio traffic on 169.038MHz. Receive only, not transmit. According to the specs this should be possible, but the radio will not allow me to programme that frequency. A Google search has shown me that apparently some of these radios were shipped without that frequency band (136-174MHz) enabled, and that Chirp should allow me to reprogramme my handset to enable this. Currently the only range available is 400-520Mhz. I have downloaded Chirp and am waiting on a cable to allow me to connect the handset to the computer. If this reprogramming is possible would someone be able to tell me how to do it? Preferably in pretty basic steps, because although I'm reasonably tech-savvy and can hold my own with phone and computer apps like video editing etc I have never reprogrammed a radio and wouldn't know where to start. Thanks. Phil.
