[chirp_users] TYT DMR Radios
by Neil Stone 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

Good morning and happy new year all, I was wondering if there were any plans to add functionality to chirp to support the TYT DMR radios, such as their MD-2017 (...so last year) or MD-380 for example? That's all for now, 73 Neil (M6LPI)

Re: [chirp_users] TYT DMR Radios
by Tom Morris 08 Jun '18

08 Jun '18

The TYT cable is just a straight through cable. CHIRP would need a lot of functionality added to support dmr. First, the radio is like a "model 3" Motorola in that you need a zone/channel assignment. You'd need to implement this to use analog only. Then, to do dmr, you need timeslot, color code, and contacts. For each channel it will need an individual or group contact set, as well as an optional RX group list. You'll need to have the ability to edit the contacts and group lists. Not by any means saying it's impossible but it would be a big chunk of architecture to add to a package that only implements analog for the time being.

Hello, I have a question about the accessibility of the program for people using a screen reader. (e.g., NVDA). does anyone have any experience in this matter? I have pre-tested but the program is completely inaccessible. it's about windows10. I am looking for a software for a blind person to be able to program the radio myself. regards Bartek

Re: [chirp_users] UV-5R issue
by Dave B 29 May '18

29 May '18

There are ways in Windows to fix a USB/Serial device's identity, so that it always shows up at the same COM number each time, or at known different (but predictable) ones depending on which USB hole you connect it to. For example, see the info here:- http://www.w1hkj.com/doku/doku.php?id=howto:taming_the_wild_comport_in_wind… As well as telling Windows 10 (if that's what you use) to allow applications to access to that port. Take care, ANY USB system re-enumeration (that happens when you plug in / power up an attached device, or unplug / power down a device) can cause a COM port to be re-assigned. Note too, that any USB hub's put in-between the PC and device, makes it a whole new ball game. Under Linux, look up how to use "udev rules", where so long as the USB device has something unique about it's identity (a serial number for example) a similar trick can be done. Note though, many Prolific (and clone) devices do not have any unique identity compared to many of their brethren! FTDI devices usually have a unique per-device serial number string somewhere. I only have one SiLab's device, so can't say about them. At http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm There are two links of interest. # Microsoft USBView <http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm#MicrosoftUSBView> # Linux USBView <http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm#USBViewLinux> Follow the one for your type of OS and you'll be able to see the device information to understand what's going on. The linux version will need compiling, but is well worth having, though you do also need to run it via sudo so it has the rights to read the needed info from the system. (I believe it can be built on MAC's too, but have no first hand knowledge re that OS.) 73.

Re: [chirp_users] chirpw.exe.log Permission Denied ERRNO 13 SOLVED
by Michael D Earls 20 May '18

20 May '18

The search results for Errno 13 all stated that it wasn't a CHIRP problem, but rather a computer problem. I can't confirm either way, but want to pass along what worked for me. I tried to uninstall CHIRP from the APPS in settings, but it couldn't find CHIRP. I went to the CHIRP folder and ran the uninstall.exe from there. Then I found and deleted every CHIRP file remaining before reinstalling. Do not trust the uninstall to remove leftover files and folders. It seems to require a total purge rather than a normal uninstall, but at least its running again. Thanks to those who offered help!

It's been over a year since I used Chirp on my Windows 10 laptop, at which time it worked fine. I installed new daily builds about a week ago and today. Chirp fails to load presenting the following error: The logfile'C:\Program Files(x86)\Chirp\chirpw.exe.log' could not be opened: [Errno 13]Permission denied:'C:\\ Program Files(x86)\\Chirp\\chirpw.exe.log <file:///\\Chirp\chirpw.exe.log> ' After the attempt a week ago, I uninstalled Chirp and reinstalled from the Daily Build. There is no chirpw.exe.log on the computer. Today's Daily Build did not improve the situation. I installed the Daily Build on my Windows 7 laptop and Chirp functions fine. That computer does not have the chirpw.exe.log anywhere on it. I've got some radios I'd like to update. Thanks, Mike Earls AF5MS TSRA Life Member NRA Benefactor Member

[chirp_users] UV50x3 Options
by Darby Collier 20 May '18

20 May '18

When attempting to program BTech UV-50X3, I am unable to find the option to change the frequency range as it seems to have been limited somehow on my rig. Certain frequencies i.e. any amateur repeaters between 440.***Mhz and 446.*** Mhz can be programmed into CHIRP but the radio does not accept them and when I download the image from it they are zeroed out. Is there an earlier build which had this capability in the settings options that was possible changed by the one from whom I bought the rig, but with updated builds the option was eliminated?

[chirp_users] Help with Yaesu FT-90R

I have a Valley Enterprises FTDI cable RPC-Y29C-UF and trying to use with Yaesu-FT90R. I first tried this on my Mac which works for my other Wooxun. I launch Chirp and select Download from Radio.

[chirp_users] CHIRP Not Communicating With ComputerS
by Tom Balaban 15 May '18

15 May '18

I have not had to do anything with my Baofeng and Yaesu radios for quite a while but our group has added some new frequencies so it time to update. Neither my Yaesu VX-6Rs nor my Baofeng UV-5Rs will communicate with either my Linux Netbook or my WIndows 10 computers. In the case of the Linux box, I have added my user name to the Dialout group then rebooted. In the case of the Windows machines I have changed the Baofeng cable to the Prolific 3.2.0.0 driver that I downloaded today from the Miklor site. The Yaesu cable is an FTDI cable and was always recognized previously. The cables are fully inserted in each case and the volume is maxed out. Device Manager shows both cables as working. The Baofeng cable reports as COM7 and the Yaesu cable as COM6 I'm never surprised with the Windows machines need some tinkering to work but CHIRP and Linux have always worked will in the past. What am I missing. I suspect it's something simple. Many thanks for reading. Tom

[chirp_users] Wrong Kenwood radio, ID or unknown variant, see LOG output.

15 May '18

I have a Kenwood 372G (1). The radio shows - PC- and CHIRP seems to indicate everything is going smooth (cloning) until the very end. The radios are for work and I only want to leave commercial frequencies in it. I guess I haven't figured out how to report an issue, so bear with me for posting here. The debug file is attached. The errors above the one in the subject got corrected and can be ignored, I think. Thanks.

Chiefly, in live mode, the radio has the ability to reject a channel as invalid. This is really valuable when you're relying on guessing the protocol specification, like Chirp does. MCP toggles bits on the radio without any validation, so you better know what you're doing when toggling something.

Hello All, I’m wondering if the TYT UV8000D radio is supported by CHIRP. I found one in a box in the garage, and I have a cable and a disk (small CD) in a bag where the box was. I must have ordered it a while back and forgot about it. So, a new radio needs some programming with new frequencies and offsets. So the best way is to use CHIRP. 73 Wassim WN6WJN

When I use the MCP6 to program a few channels, it is not showing up when I use the same configuration with Chirp and tell it to download from the radio. I try to import a CSV with channels from another radio and it never uploads to the D710GA. The baud rate is set for 9600 in everything. How long should it take to upload 128 channels in live mode?

You just made the bad value acceptable in CHIRP. You should change the bad value (208) to something valid (1 to 123) and upload it to your radio. The value it was supposed to be would be 1 higher than the next lower squelch threshold setting or 1 lower than the next higher squelch threshold setting since they usually increment by 1 from the factory. Then you can set line 1662 back to 123.
