I have a TH-9800 that I have programmed with CHIRP for years…never had a problem. The cable that is used looks like a standard USB to mini USB cable. It is NOT. It has a USB to TTL converter inside it… Sent from Mail for Windows 10

[chirp_users] New Radio / Use

Just got a new BTECH 5x3. It is my understanding that there is no other software available except CHIRP. Is there anyway to adjust radio menu items with CHIRP? Listing a few as examples: TX-RX display color, channel display mode (CH#,Freq,Name), I don't see any way to set DTMF alerts, which is the main reason I bought this radio. Thanks in advance.

At the time I was adding support for the DJ-G7 radio, I was not aware of a flag that was used to hide memory channels in the main band. The main band only supports a subset of modes and frequencies on this radio. My original code used this flag improperly, such that a channel was never hidden from the main band regardless of its settings. This does not do any harm to the radio, but such a memory channel is useless in the main band due to hardware constraints. More importantly, the original programming software by Alinco crashes when operating on a memory map pulled from a radio programmed with chirp if the flag is not used correctly. After some discussions with and advice from Emiel, I have completed a patch that adds proper support for this flag. The patch is attached. See #5275 for a more in-depth discussion of the issue.

by Peter Ryan 08 Mar '18

D.J. Ring has been very helpful in his ongoing patient advice on this issue, and asked me to outline the drivers on my 10.9.5 Macbook. I have zero background in computers and such, and so much of the advice from others goes right over my head, and I am sure many others. Here is the list of drivers on my Mac with the Valley Ent. cable plugged in.

[chirp_users] Has ANYONE actually succeeded in programming a Yaesu FT2900 on CHIRP?
by Peter Ryan 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

If there is anyone who has actually SUCCEEDED in programming the FT2900R on CHIRP with a Macbook (10.5.5 Maverick here), would you please offer a reply here? My query last week received no responses. And I am reading mixed messages and member's thoughts and opinions on the subject in yesterday's other member's parallel question, but we have not seen anything from anyone who has actually succeeded with a Mac and a Valley Enterprises cable. I suspect there are several here who would profit from a "step-by-step" tutorial from a member who has. It is listed as a programmable radio on Chirp, but at this point, I am starting to wonder why. Thanks in advance for your help on this. :)

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-6 "refused to send second block 0x1ec0"
by Charley Bratton 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

While attempting to run the initial download for a group of new recently received Baofeng UV-6 radios, all are responding with “radio refused to send second block 0x1ec0” right at the tail end of the download... I’m using the most recent CHIRP build for Mac. I’ve attempted multiple Macs, no difference. I’ve attempted older 2017 versions of CHIRP, no difference. The cable I’m using works for other Baofengs, including UV-6 units we purchased 5 months ago, just not these particular UV-6 units. These units are clearly labeled UV-6 (not UV-6R). Tried the UV-6R setting just in case, but the download didn’t start. Any suggestions? -Charley KE4QBW

Why doe’s Chirp have the Yaesu FT2900 listed as one that can be programmed. I purchased a lead with disc, the disc has programs for other radios but the one for Yaesu is in Chinese so hoped that Chirp would do the job. It fails with the error—cannot find header and since then after searching around at least 2 years ago people were having problems but looking through them no one seems to have an answer.

[chirp_users] Thanks to the group
by Brandon Clark 04 Mar '18

04 Mar '18

Thanks to the Chirp developers for supporting this project. There was a bit of a learning curve for me, but I finally got three of my radios programmed using Chirp. (I had been using RT Systems before but switched to Chirp when I switched my systems to Linux.) I recently moved to Alaska so I've had to not just rearrange channels, but do a complete reprogram of all repeaters, nodes, and simplex frequencies. To any other fellow Chirp-newbies out there this was the process I used: 1. Find cables that worked with my radios (the RT Systems ones wouldn't), 2. Download what was already programmed in my radios, 3. Export to a CSV file so I would have the formatting right, 4. Work with the new channels I wanted in LibreOffice: 1. Change the layout of my spreadsheets from the way RTSys was arranged to the way Chirp is laid out, 5. Paste values into the CSV exports, 6. Import into Chirp, 7. Upload into the radios, I still have an Icom Ht that I'm having communication issues with (no pun intended), but once I get that worked out I should be in business. Anyway, thanks to the developers for making an open source and cross platform programming option. 73, Brandon Clark, KL7BSC

[chirp_users] CSV file.
by Dennis Wage 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

The answer to my question is pretty apparent, but I want to double check. In the CSV file I'm assuming that some, most or all of the numeric columns cannot be blank or set to zero. Example: Changing tone mode to (None) in Chirp is blank in csv. However if I change rToneFreq, cToneFreq which are now unused to 0 or blank I get an error when importing. So when tone mode is set to none rToneFreq cToneFreq are simply ignored? Dennis M.

[chirp_users] Problems connecting Yaesu FT-2900r
by Peter Ryan 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Hi Guys: I just received my Valley Enterprise Yaesu FT-2900R cable (RPC-YM6-UF). Upon trying to connect CHIRP on my MACBOOK 10.9.5 Maverick XOS, and the MARS-modified 2900R radio, I get an error message of: "Could not open port (error #2)...no such file or directory."I am successful with connecting my Yaesu FT-60 to the Mac, and I did not make any changes to the computer before attempting to hook up the FT-2900R, but with the FT-2900 cable plugged in, I do get an new extra choice in my drop down menu "RADIO: Download from radio" "serial" box choices. The FT-60 works using the original "/DEV/cu.usbserial", but the FT-2900R fails to work with either that older choice, or the new choice of "/DEV/cu.usbserial-A107368". I have gone to the various CHIRP help forums, and there is a lot about using a build made before some date before circa 06/2016 for a MARS "modded" radio, but that seems to relate only to a PC using Windows. The MacBook info didn't seem to relate to a need for an earlier "build". Indeed, I couldn't find any new builds for a MAC since 2016. What am I doing wrong?

Re: [chirp_users] CHIRP Drivers for Kenwood TH-G71
by Dave B 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Hi. As the TH-G71 is already listed in Chirp. (CHIRP daily-20180210 at least.) You need to use USBview ( http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities/usbview.zip ) to determine the chipset the cable or radio uses, then go to the chipset companies website, or the radio maker's site, if the chip is built into the radio, and pull the driver setup files for your OS. (It is a genuine Microsoft tool, just that FTDI host a copy, as it's difficult to find on MS's pages, or a genuine version elsewhere. There is a Linux version too, but needs building from source, not difficult, but not exactly a beginner option.) Kenwood (and others) have used SiLabs USB/Serial chips for many products, I don't know for that radio. Check the Kenwood radio website. If you bought or made up a cable, then it's the USB/Serial chip in that you need the OS drivers for. Take care with anything that identifies itself as using a Prolific chip. There are many fakes, that the current officially supported (by Prolific and MS) will not work with. (There are even fake FTDI chips out there!) As in all things these days, Google is your friend. One thing I'm noticing these days across many ham forums, Windows 10 and anything MAC related, is a nightmare. Stick with Windows 7 (or 8/8.1) while you can, or move to Linux (something like Ubuntu or Mint, easier for Windows users to learn, and start with a 32 bit release.) Chirp runs on Linux just fine, and even all the fake USB/Serial chips seem to still work OK. No endorsement, just saying. 73. Dave G0WBX.

Under Windows, you can use USBview. http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities/usbview.zip This is actually a genuine Microsoft tool, but it's almost impossible to find on any MS site. It's too useful not to have! For Linux:- http://www.kroah.com/linux-usb/ Is very good, but you need to build from source. In truth, it's a modified fork of the source for the above Microsoft program. You also need to run it with root privileges, or use sudo from the users command line, or gksu in a desktop launcher. If there is anything similar for Mac's, I have no knowledge. Perhaps the Linux source could be persuaded to build on a Mac? But how useful it would be, I don't know, as Mac's are based on BSD, not Linux, the devil is in the detail etc. 73.

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-2DR and Mac OS 10.13.3 (High Sierra) Programming Cable Recommendation
by Kell Bodholt 17 Feb '18

17 Feb '18

Looking for some specific advice for a FTDI cable for use with the Yaesu FT-2DR and Mac OS 10.13.3 on McBook Air (not running Windows on a separate partition). I have reviewed the Chirp FAQ, cable sections, Activity, etc. and have searched various websites for a specific FTDI USB cable without success as most that I have located do not have the correct connection to plug into the FT-2DR. The FT-2DR came with a USB cable, but I believe this is a cable specifically for updating the firmware and not for programing via Chirp. I'm unable to find any info on the Yaesu USB cable whether it’s a FTDI and/or Prolific type cable, but I suspect that its neither as my MacBook Air does nothing when plugged in nor does Chirp recognize any available port for uploading/receiving HT data. The FT-2DR does have a SD card, and I have event tried making a backup file of the memory channels (file name created on SD card is MEMORY.dat), taking that file and loading it into Chirp, manipulating with my local repeater info, re-save as a MEMORY.dat file, and on the FT-2DR read the file with no success. I've spent way too much time trying to figure this out, and I am giving up. So can anyone recommend a FTDI cable specific for the FT-2DR that will work with Chirp on my MacBook Air or alternatively a FTDI cable specific to the FT-2DR that will work with Chirp on a Windows 10 machine. I don't want to fuss with counterfeit cables and the headache of loading appropriate drivers. The data cable that came with the FT-2DR is a std USB on one end and the end that goes into the data port on the FT-2DR I believe is a mini usb. Thank you in advance.

Re: [chirp_users] linux command line
by Tycen Stafford 14 Feb '18

Well, that's what I though, but hey look at that... I did just see that command line chirp can do some editing! You can list the settings, list the memory channels, set a memory channel, clear a memory channel and copy a memory channel. So about the only thing you can't do is edit settings. I was only looking for something to upload to the radio so I hadn't paid attention to the rest of the README. I just tired it out on on of my images and it seems to work. From the README page on github: List Settings ------------- For radios that support settings, you can list the current settings in a saved image: chirpc --mmap=<file> --list-settings Show Memory Channels -------------------- You can list all current memory channels in a saved image: chirpc --mmap=<file> --list-mem That command only lists the currently programmed channels. To see the complete list (including empty channels), add '--verbose'. To view only a single channel, use the --get-mem option: chirpc --mmap=<file> --get-mem <channel> Set a Memory Channel -------------------- chirpc --mmap=<file> --set-mem-name=<name> ... <channel> See the --help text for a complete list of options that can be used to configure the channel. Any settings that are not configured using a command option will be left unchanged. Clearing a Memory Channel ------------------------- You can clear a memory channel, discarding all settings: chirpc --mmap=<file> --clear-mem <channel> Copying a Memory Channel ------------------------ You can copy a memory channel: chirpc --mmap=<file> --copy-mem <source_channel> <destination_channel> Note: The contents of <destination_channel> will be overwritten with the contents from <source_channel> On Wed, Feb 14, 2018 at 1:08 PM, David <BearSFO(a)pacbell.net> wrote: > > So, from what you just described, the edits would still need to be done > inside chirp GUI? > > --David > > > At 10:48 AM 2/14/2018, Tycen Stafford wrote: > > Good question. chirp certainly works in a Linux GUI (I've used it on > Ubuntu and it works great!).

Re: [chirp_users] linux command line
by Tycen Stafford 14 Feb '18

Good question. chirp certainly works in a Linux GUI (I've used it on Ubuntu and it works great!). But as for the command-line, editing is not an option as documented in the chirp.hg software link I sent. I tried vim'ing the img file but it looks like it's binary. Quick command-line edits would be handy though, for sure - although I imagine it would be one of those things that would be really easy to mess up if you put in the wrong type of character/data or whitespace. It would probably need a validator command with it to validate the img file before trying to upload it to your radio. I think it's one of things where it's not an option because no one's developed it yet. The user-base would probably be a fraction of the users who use the GUI so all the time and focus goes to the GUI. Also, I mentioned that my implementation uses Dropbox to sync the img files around - you of course use scp or rsync or some other filesync utility. I just used Dropbox because my radio files were already there and it was quick and easy to generate a public (yet obscure) URL and just do a wget.

My linux implementation have no GUI set up, and I just want to be able to read/write from/to my radios. I can certainly edit the file somewhere else, dump it in, and then run chirp.

[chirp_users] Strange behavior of CHIRP under OS X latest version
by Jean-Paul Louis 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

I hadn’t used CHIRP for a while but always kept updating regularly. Last night, I wanted to update my Baofeng UV-82, and found an odd issue with the track pad or a wireless mouse. It seems that there is an X/Y offset between the mouse pointer and the CHIRP action. When I want to select a new radio, the buttons are partially hidden, so I have first to resize the window to see all the buttons. Then the buttons get the focus only if my mouse pointer is almost outside the button. It is very frustrating. Has anyone noticed the same behavior, or is it just me? I am using CHIRP form 02/04/2018 on a MacBook pro with Retina Display and OS X 10.3.3. Just curious, Jean-Paul N1JPL

[chirp_users] Application Crashes in Mac
by John Laiosa 13 Feb '18

13 Feb '18

After some help from some folks on this users group I was able to get my Mac to recognized the the serial cable. However the problem I am having now is the application crashes after the upload from the radio is complete. I uploaded the latest version of Chirp(20170627) but that did not solved the problem. The Mac is running macOS Sierra version 10.12.5. Thanks for the help. John Laiosa N1BSO

Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5RTP BTECH UV-5X3 - both +- in display for offset
by Rich Messeder 12 Feb '18

12 Feb '18

Jim, I compiled the notes from this thread and cross referenced twixt Baofeng-BTECH and CHIRP, so that I keep the relevance. In my testing, I discovered a neat feature: In the 5X3, when using SYNC, and with the NAME in band A and freq in Band B, I normally scroll using Band A. If I swap to Band B, with freq displayed, and hit *, the display toggles twixt the RX and TX freqs, leaving the NAME displayed. 73 de ~Rich~ NE1EE ARES AEC Short email? No html?
