[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.

Install it to somewhere else, other then in the "Program Files" tree. Works every time then. Dave G0WBX.

[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

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] FT-857D memory banks?
by KJ6EWX 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Hello All, I just downloaded my 857D’s memory to CHIRP. I have the memory banks turned on (although nothing saved to them) and in CHIRP I do not see any ‘banks’. Does CHIRP not support this? Or is it something else? Maybe that I don’t have any entries saved in banks? Thanks _________________

[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

Dan, I cannot delete the chirp daily installation file from Explorer on 10. This has happened to me twice, it's not every time with every file. I have to go to a dos prompt to delete.

[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

Does anyone have experience programing this radio using the USB cable supplied with it? My biggest problem is that the software is looking for a com port connection. Is there any work around for this? Thanks.

[chirp_users] IC-92AD funnies
by Chuck Hast 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Folks, Decided that I would go through my 92AD, remove a few frequencies I do not use, add some and add my hotspot so I can try DStar on a hot spot. See a lot of strange things like reading 849 memories (should only go to 799) and one or other bank screens blank. Looked at the bug reports and see all off what I see (Thank you Winlock) so just out of a whim I look at the date of the code, says 20170714. I see that the latest and greatest 20180623. I have the snapshots ppa enabled but for some reason it is not pulling down the latest and greatest. Any ideas? I am running Ubunut Mate 18.04 -- Chirp + Editcp + MD380Tools on Linux Celestial!!!

You are incorrect.You may use Linux and it is fully accessible with the Orca screenreader.You don't need to learn a new operating system, Linux is more like Windows 7 than Windows 10 is.You can even get an ISO image to burn to DVD that boots up talking with Chirp ready to go.I don't use that, so others might be able to inform you on where to get it.I install Chirp onto Ubuntu 16.04 and use Orca.Glenn ----- Original Message -----From: BobJTo: Discussion of CHIRPSent: Wednesday, July 04, 2018 9:34 AMSubject: Re: [chirp_users] Chirp began ten years ago today...

Myjob was to bring those machines on line and then train and shepherd those folks in theinspections of the bottles. I had tons of overtime so I toddled down to HRO in PDX andgot me a 92AT. That was I think in late Aug 2008 or Sept. I know it had not started rainingyet and the weather was still good. It was one of the folks at HRO that aimed me yourdirection I believe it was. I did not know that the project was that new. I do not rememberwhen I downloaded the first code, but it worked on that 92AT (I still have it). By way I now live in Oklahoma, but I sure miss the NW...

[chirp_users] How to empty or null tone channel in Chirp?
by survivor＠cryptolab.net 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

When I use Chirp to set radio channels, there are many columns I cannot let empty, unless I cannot save it or uploat to radio. Most repeaters here have no subtone and I cannot let tone column empty, or null or zero. In chirp, there is a preseted tone list from 67.0 to 254.1. When I power on the transceiver in frequency mode and ajust to repeater channel, I can hear people talking normally. When I power on in channel mode and choose the respective channel with the same frequency, I cannot hear people talking. Pearhaps, tone values are wrong and in most cases they are unnecessary. How to I solve this? I have a Baofeng UV-82 WITH 8 Watts (HP). Firmware 3 KEY: N822413 6 KEY: 140902N TKS PU4YOU

I am attempting to program a Jetstream JT270M using a Prolific cable. The CHIRP Error message pop-up says An error has occurred could not open com4 (Error 2) The system can not find the file specified. In the WIN10 Device manager listing for COM4 it says Driver provide is prolific Date is 10-17-2017 Version is 3.8.18.0 Device status is This device cannot start. (Code 10) A device which does not exist was specified. Can anyone help me out with this? -- Patricia Wilson Apache Junction, AZ Member NRA, ARRL WB8DXX (Extra)

[chirp_users] CSV Partial Load
by imatglamis 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

Thanks for all the work you guys do on Dan Planet. I have a Btech UV-50X2 and have cloned the radio file successfully, added frequencies using the "import from stock config" lists, downloaded the freq's to the radio and have used them no problem. I wanted to add about 150 channels using the import function. I read the CSV how to page: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CSV_HowTo and watched youtube videos of others creating and importing CSV files. I looked through the 2018 and most of the 2017 archives and couldn't find anything pertinent. I''m experiencing a problem. I exported my radio's channel list and created an initial CSV file to work on. In the file, I don't see any dimmed out channels after the last channel like I see on youtube. When I open the CSV file in Excel, I see the coulumns headers and channel data as expected. I copy pasted frequencies and channel names and inserted sequential channel numbers and saved the new CSV file. When I use CHIRP to upload the channels from the CSV file which has the old channels and the channels, the program gives me an error for every new channel I added in this example channel #35: Line 35: [rtone] could not convert string to float: After hitting OK, I discover none of the new channels imported. Also when I open the CSV file in CHIRP to examine it, I get the same error and only see the original channels. I opened the CSV file using notepad and I didn't see any difference between the original channels and the old channels. I can enter the frequencies manually but who wants to do all that typing. Does anyone know why the new channels can't be imported? If it helps I copy pasted lines of the CSV file below... Thanks.

Thus far and to the best knowledge of the author, no UV-5R radios have been harmed by using CHIRP. However, proceed at your own risk!" And then results in: "could not open port /dev/ttyusb0: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/ttyusb0" *Question:* Has this issue been seen by someone in the group and a could you share your insight? I have searched the Ubuntu Forums and do not find a mention of this specific issue. The closest thread involved an OS upgrade to 16.04 that required an uninstall of the Chirp program/App and a reinstall. Since I appear to be dealing with a driver/dependency issue, I have not tried this approach. I will be posting this text to the Ubuntu Forums as well.

[chirp_users] DCS problem on BTECH UVX2-50
by Jean-Charles HUILLIER 29 Jun '18

29 Jun '18

Hello all, This is not stricly Chirp related but I need you help on programming my radios with selective DCS. I use the radios in a car racing team and I need to be abe to talk to this car or that car but also to all the cars at the same time. I have made a setup which runs fine to speak to each car individualy but I can't talk to all of them at the same time, here's what I did. Same frequency for all channels DCS RX specific to each car (X for car 1, Y for car 2, etc.....) No DCS TX on the cars radios so that when the driver speaks everyone car hear it (except the other cars of course) I made several channels on the pit radios with a matching DCS TX for car 1, car 2 and no DCS at all to be able to talk to the other pits radios) I'd like to make a new DCS RX on all cars (200) so that I could talk to ALL cars at the same time but when I program it on the cars radios it does not work, the car does not receive it. I made a dual watch so that the car receiving radio should switch from the "this car only" channel to the "all cars channel" but somehow it does not receive. What did I do wrong ? Thanks for the help

Hello, It's been over a month that I'm trying to program a BAOFENG UV-8D, I tried multiple cordosn without success, I just found one among four !! To program I put a driver for the BAOFENG UV-8D is "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM4), the communication is perfect For the program I used UV-8 Serie Sofwarre Program and there it works there is a communication in the BAOFENG UV8D and my PC an ASUS X550L with Windows 8.1. I'm going to try more with other Walkie Talkies !! This cord, by chance only works for the UV-8D 73s Pierre F6CTB

I run Centos 6.9 and I downloaded the zip file. When I go to run chirpw i get the following message: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./chirpw", line 23, in <module> from chirp.drivers import * File "/home/edack/Desktop/chirp-daily-20180614/chirp/drivers/lt725uv.py", line 198, in <module> LIST_CTCSS.append("D{:03d}N".format(x)) ValueError: zero length field name in format If I go to the referened line I can and do comment out lines # Now append the DxxxN and DxxxI DTCS codes from chirp_common for x in chirp_common.DTCS_CODES: LIST_CTCSS.append("D{:03d}N".format(x)) for x in chirp_common.DTCS_CODES: LIST_CTCSS.append("D{:03d}R".format(x)) All works fine. I don't care because I dont need the lt725uv driver. I am wondering if this is a Linux only "feature", or is it just masked in the windows version?

Just replace the damaged cap's (a not an uncommon problem by the way for a system of that age!) Google for "Bad Cap problems" or "capacitor plague" Not confined to computers or motherboards only either. I've replaced several such parts on a few similar aged PC's of my own over time. If you can't physically do it, there are places that can, at a cost. If you have a Windows 7 recovery CD, and the licence numbers, just spin up a VirtualBox VM under Linux, and run Win7 in that. Job done. V-Box on some systems will allow you to use "seamless" mode, where you can have both Windows and Linux app's running on the same desktop (or looking like it at least.) Just put the Windows, or Linux Taskbar at the top of the screen, and the other at the bottom (or sides.) I used to run Linux like that on a Win 7 box, before I got utterly p'd off with Windows. Though convenient when it's working, it's a lot of egg's in one basket, and can be a bit of a task to set-up and get working "just so". It's also trivial to map Linux's /dev/ttyUSBx serial ports, to appear under Windows as COMx as well. Very well documented, and works well. If you stick with Win 10, research and find out how to hog-tie/deactivate much of it's "phone home" functionality. It's seriously leaky (potentially privacy wise) if you just activated it with the default settings it suggests. Also, if you use Cortana, configure her NOT to be active when the computer is "locked". 73.

Please forgive me...I know this is way off topic, but thought some of you hams out there might be a little bit interested in this. I was messing around this afternoon and calculated the percentage of per capita hams are each state in the USA and found a couple of interesting international numbers, as well. Population estimates come from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_popula… and are for 1 July 2017. FCC license totals come from the www.arrl.org site here: http://www.arrl.org/fcc-license-counts and are as current as yesterday. 73 de Shon, K6QT k6qt(a)arrl.net Shon R.

Country per capita hams are: 1. Japan 2. Slovenia 3. Taiwan 4. South Korea 5. Thailand Sheer numbers, most hams in the world: 1. United States 2. Japan 3. Thailand 4. Germany 5. Canada Data taken from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_operator. Using some population sites for the US and the ARRL site to get the total number of hams in the US (and using Jimmy to figure out the blasted math in Excel!), I came up with a %-age of hams per state in the US, which I'm attaching. It's interesting to see the highest per capita hams in which states. Most of the states are .37% and down. Utah is the highest with .56%. Next highest is Idaho with .50%, Alaska with .48%, Oregon, .47%, Washington, .45%, New Hampshire, .41%, and the rest under .37%. The lowest are DC, Puerto Rico, Louisiana, New York, New Jersey, Illinois. Shon R.

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

19 Jun '18

I have 3 UV-5R's All three of them need their own *.img file because they have different firmwares. They are all programmed with same channels and settings and all work fairly well for what I need. However, believe it or not, one of them WILL NOT work with my J-Pole antenna. When I say 'will not work' I mean I can't hit any of the repeaters I normally use. It works perfectly, in fact really well with supplied antenna and with my dual band home made ground plane. With my MFJ power meter it also shows a full watt more output power than the other 2? Is there anything in my programming the phone that could cause this? Thanks, Dennis M.

[chirp_users] DCS problem on BTECH UVX2-50
by Jean-Charles HUILLIER 17 Jun '18

17 Jun '18

Hello all, This is not stricly Chirp related but I need you help on programming my radios with selective DCS. I use the radios in a car racing team and I need to be abe to talk to this car or that car but also to all the cars at the same time. I have made a setup which runs fine to speak to each car individualy but I can't talk to all of them at the same time, here's what I did. Same frequency for all channels DCS RX specific to each car (X for car 1, Y for car 2, etc.....) No DCS TX on the cars radios so that when the driver speaks everyone car hear it (except the other cars of course) I made several channels on the pit radios with a matching DCS TX for car 1, car 2 and no DCS at all to be able to talk to the other pits radios) I'd like to make a new DCS RX on all cars (200) so that I could talk to ALL cars at the same time but when I program it on the cars radios it does not work, the car does not receive it. I made a dual watch so that the car receiving radio should switch from the "this car only" channel to the "all cars channel" but somehow it does not receive. What did I do wrong ?

[chirp_users] Unable to create Chirp "account" (to get technical help)
by Dave B 13 Jun '18

13 Jun '18

Hi. What's up with the "Register" page on the main Chirp site? https://chirp.danplanet.com/account/register I've just tried three times to register, and each time it bombs with unknown user or password when I'm invited to login, after it tell's me I successfuly created an account. There is no mention of needing to wait for any acceptance.. The password reset link (when invoked) comes to me, and shows my as requested login "username" just fine. The new password is accepted OK with no errors, but the resulting new login fails. The requirements for the "password" are listed as:- / Must be at least 4 characters long. /(Is that all?)/ / I tend to use much more than that (12 in this case) so is that the problem? Upper/Lower case letters and numbers. I'm doing this using FireFox from the UK, it's not a GDPR blockage for non US users it is? What else might be wrong? Comments? 73. Dave B. PS: Where are the rig "driver" files stored, on a Linux system? I can find the chirpw file OK, but have no idea where the rest are. (I want to look at the code for a problematic radio I have.) ><
