[chirp_users] Repurposing RT-Systems Cables
by Brandon Clark 11 Feb '18

11 Feb '18

Good morning, Question: Has anyone had luck with changing the VID and PID on RT Systems cables? I saw from the CHIRP documentation that it can be done with the FTDI utility, but I'm not sure which utility to use (the FTDI site has many available). Also, is it worth the trouble to do so, or is it better to just get different cables? Background: I have three of these RT Systems cables that I've been using for a few years now, but I've been switching my computers to run Linux and now want to use CHIRP as my programming software. The cables are very well-constructed, so I would like to keep them if possible. If anyone is familiar with the reprogramming process I would appreciate the help. (Feel free to email em off-list, since I'm sure this has been asked before.) 73, Brandon

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5RTP BTECH UV-5X3 - both +- in display for offset
by Rich Messeder 11 Feb '18

11 Feb '18

Update. http://www.miklor.com/BT5X3/5X3-FAQ.php#NewestRadio Here I found Display shows + and - at the same time In Channel Mode this is normal when the TX/RX frequencies differ. In Frequency Mode + or - is displayed based on Menu 25 (Shift) So all is OK. But when I switched to VFO from channel mode, I thought that I'd find a way to see what the channel is programmed with (Kenwood has a feature to copy memory to VFO.) NE1EE ========= I have been using the 5RTP for a few years, and don't recall problems. I just realized that the display does not show either a + or a - for the repeater offset, but shows both the + and -. Ditto the 5X3. I tried several things in CHIRP to change this, and no success. I can add a channel from the keypad, it seems, and then I get only a + or a -, not both. I started with the 5X3 by downloading immediately from the radio, then copied a bunch of channels from my 5RTP file, thinking that the are both the same class of radio. I checked the column headers first, and they seemed to match. I loaded in the file that I saved from the first access of the 5X3, and added a repeater channel. I entered the rcv freq, the tone, a -, and it defaulted to 0.600. When I uploaded that to the radio, I got the +-. 73 de ~Rich~ NE1EE ARES AEC Short email? No html?

[chirp_users] Error after updating to new firmware of Yaesu FT1D and mcOS 10.13.3
by Jeff Zarge - K3JRZ 10 Feb '18

10 Feb '18

Hello. I just updated my Yaesu FT1D to Main 3.01 and DSP 4.15 (both from 09/08/2017). I'm running a 2017 iMac (High Sierra 10.13.3). The firmware & DSP updates went fine on my Windows laptop. Now, I have normally used my iMac (previous was a early 2009 iMac running various OS X versions) and the daily builds of Chirp to program my FT1D (I use the SCU-19 cable that came with my radio). Never had an issue. After doing the two updates and running the latest version of Chirp (currently 20180210) I get the following error when I try to upload my memories back to the radio: "*failed to communications with the radio: radio did not ack block 1*". I have no problem downloading from the radio (although it's a blank list since I reset the radio). I've installed the newest FTDI drivers and and the Python files and still nothing (again, I use the SCU-19 cable that came with my radio - not sure what drivers I really need). Even tried each USB port on my iMac. I'll attach the debug log if that's any help. I'm not a programmer, but I can look through logs and code (do that at work), but I don't see anything that says "HEY! THIS IS THE ISSUE RIGHT HERE!". Maybe someone here will know what to look for? The last time I edited my programming file was in December. I do not remember if I had used Chirp since moving to High Sierra, but I was keeping mostly up-to-date with the daily releases for the Mac. I did go back in through the archives and see someone had issues with 10.13.1, but when he updated to 10.31.2 it was fixed. Well, I'm on 10.13.3. Hrmmm... Did anyone else have this or similar issue? Thanks & 73, Jeff K3JRZ https://www.qrz.com/db/K3JRZ 100WAAW <http://100wattsandawire.com/thegathering/> #404

[chirp_users] Which radio?
by Chuck Hast 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

I see all of the issues with these radio, I want to get something that will do the job, I want at least 2m and 70cm. But would be even better to have something tri-band. So with all of what I have seen, which of these radios do you guys recommend. Chirp does a great job with my Icom, but I would like to get something that I can use and if something happens it is not my Icom handheld. Something that if it falls into the water, or gets whacked I am not out a lot. So what do you guys recommend? -- Chirp + Editcp + MD380Tools on Linux Celestial!!! Chuck -- KP4DJT

on the BaoFengs: menu 21 MDF-A and menu 22 MDF-B let you select channel number, channel label/name or frequency. stay away from the VFO/Channel button and it will always show your labels. Channel names have to be assigned in programming software; can’t be done from the key pad. I solved the driver problem by getting the official $12 programming cable from BaoTech…worked perfectly the first time out…then you don’t have to hassle with the drivers (i should say, worked fine on my HP laptop, Win10) 3s christopher arthur KD7EFS Casper, wonderful Wyoming

by C.S. Arthur 30 Jan '18

to upload to the F9, or the UV-5 for that matter, you need to do two things….set up your frequency plan, labels, etc in CHIRP, and save it. next, copy the contents of the radio to a new chirp database. delete everything in it, and copy from your original chirp freq plan to the now blank one from the receiver. If you go to the Radio pull down, the ‘upload to radio’ will be grayed out unless you are actually in the radio’s database. If you try to upload directly from the CHIRP list that you made, it won’t work but if you select the radio’s database and copy into it, it is happy. Once you figure out some of these obscure kinks you’ll find the BaoFeng is pretty simple. good luck christopher arthur KD7EFS Casper, wonderful Wyoming

Re: [chirp_users] Leixon 898
by Harrison Cooper 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Changing the subject to something else, rather than responding to the other thread Yes, I've been able to program the 898, but I used a combination of CHIRP and the factory software to get things setup as I wanted. So between the two of those packages, you should be able to obtain what you need. I do not like the 898 that well, for the audio quality from the speaker, its seems to be more on the low side of frequency response. However I do like the scan mode, so I repurposed it to be a VHF/UHF PS scanner, leaving my trucking to handle the 800MHz.

[chirp_users] [OT] Re: Problems with Norton etc.
by Dave B 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Quite honestly, I'm amazed anyone still thinks running Norton AV is an acceptable solution to a perceived problem. It itself is riddled with inconsistencies and other funnies, plus has a hair trigger for false positives. "Not seen by many users" is NOT a good metric to judge if something is bad or not. Windows own Windows Defender, in conjunction with whatever "Security Essentials" is now called is more than adequate for 90+% of users, and the price is right. Coupled with the use of "uBlock Origin" in your web browsers, to block the obnoxious nasties in on-line add's, and you'll have a slick fast and more than safe enough system. (Heck, that is even in the MS app store now, as well as Chrome's webstore.) The single best AV tool, is common sense... Never, and I mean NEVER *NEVER* Click on a popup you didn't expect*, or go to a site or download something *YOU DID NOT YOURSELF ASK OR GO LOOKING FOR*! And Never EVER respond to anything in unsolicited (spam) email's, however attractive the proposition may look. (* Not even any 'X' close button, that only confirms that they've found a human, and may not even remove the popup. Back out of that website/restart the browser and find another with what you want.) Norton AV used to be good, it's now just more bloat-ware, with questionable practices, and not in truth a particularly good user experience. As above, the best AV tool, is the wet stuff between your ears. As in all life, if something appears to be too good to be true, it probably is bad for you, your PC, and/or your bank account! 73.

[chirp_users] chirp and screen reader accessibility
by Ray T. Mahorney 27 Jan '18

27 Jan '18

Just a thought here but I wonder if the developers have given consideration to building screen reader accessibility in to the program? Presently, Chirp does not work well if at all with any of the commonly and widely used text to speech screen reading programs such as JAWS and NVDA. The NVDA screen reader is an open source program so its developers may be more receptive to working to build accessibility into Chirp. This question may have come up before and if it has, I apologize in advance. http://www.nvda-project.org Ray T. Mahorney WA4WGA

[chirp_users] Using The Accessible USB Image For Chirp With Orca Screenreader
by Glenn At Home 27 Jan '18

27 Jan '18

I found the link, but the instructions sound more difficult than it needs to be. I would use the universal USB installer that I'll give a link to, and select the Linux distro of Zorin. The information page on this is: http://www.hamradioandvision.com/chirpvi-liveusb-for-blind-hams/ The Universal USB installer is: https://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ I think that if the image you will download is an ISO image, I don't know why you cannot burn it to a CD, if it is small enough for a CD. However, I think the easiest way to do it is to use the Universal USB installer to download Ubuntu Mate at: https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/ After burning that to DVD or putting it on USB, boot to it and do the following: control S for screenreader On some versions, it's alt + windows S to call up Orca the screenreader. Otherwise, the Linux run command is: alt + F2-key. Then type in: orca and press enter. When Orca is talking: You tab around like you do in windows. You get to the desktop with alt + shift + D The start menu in Ubuntu is alt + F1-key. You arrow around like in Windows. Windows has a DOS shell as it is sometimes called, and we look for command prompt in Windows. Linux has the same thing, called "Terminal". One way we can get there is with alt + control + T. If you like DOS, you will like that. If you get that far, I or others can give you commands for installing Chirp. HTH. Glenn

[chirp_users] Problems with Norton etc.
by Tom Simonson 26 Jan '18

26 Jan '18

I ran into the problem of Norton treating Chirp as malware in Feb of 2016. I was using the current program Norton Internet Security on some Windows 7 machines (32 and 64 bit systems). I was able to over-ride the objections of Norton and install the program. At that time, when Norton had problems with a program, it was possible to look at the "details" of the problem - which in this case were partly because the program (or version) was not seen on very many systems, making is suspicious. Within the dialog process of the Norton program, it was possible to report that it might be a false positive. I did this and got the all-clear from Norton a few days later. My recollection is hazy, but I think that I had to provide a download link to the program in question (Chirp installer). Below is the response that I got from Symantec after evaluating the version of CHIRP. Note that the reference to pro-active whitelisting brings up a page saying that advance whitelisting is no longer an option, with a link to a report false positives page. " In relation to submission [3917013]. Upon further analysis and investigation we have verified your submission and as such this detection will be removed from our products. The updated detection will be distributed in the next set of virus definitions, available via LiveUpdate or from our website at http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/defs.download.html Please note that whitelisting can take up to 24 hours to take effect. Decisions made by Symantec are subject to change if alterations to the Software are made over time or as classification criteria and/or the policy employed by Symantec changes over time to address the evolving landscape.

The struggle continues…. I downloaded the driver from FTDI website and went through installation. Np problems there. I then went to the System Report page to see if the driver appeared on the USB list of drivers. Nothing shows that would tell me that a FTDI driver was installed anywhere. I suspect the com/USB port is not communicating with the download, or the cable is not communicating. At this point, I am lost as to what to do next.

Hi, I got an 898S early last year. It did come with a programming cable but I ordered one off of ebay. I received it, plugged it in and it worked. Next time I tried it I had to plug it in a couple of times before it would recognize it (I did get it to work). Fast forward to Dec I've plugged in numerous time and will not recognize radio. Obviously its either cable or maybe in the radio. How to I tell which? without buying a new cable. 73 Alan --

[chirp_users] Valley Ent. cable and mac OS High Sierra
by T.E. Klamberg Klamberg 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

The last problem I had is overcome, that being selecting the Yaesu FT-60 from the dropdown menu. Chirp is a little picky how you select items, but I found it. Now has to do with the cloning. When I plug in the Valley Enterprise FTDI cable, red and green lamps on the USB plug flash once simultaneously; very fast and only once. I set up the radio to clone without issue. When I set up Chirp to download from the radio, the port selection is only one: /dev/cu.bluetooth-incoming-port. When I press the PTT button on the radio, I get RX, then an error on Chirp. When I remove the USB from the MacBook Pro, there are no red/green lamp flash at all. When it comes to using Terminal on mac, I am really concerned that I may screw something up beyond all recognition. I did download the the FTDI driver but to no avail. I really appreciate any help y’all can provide on this issue. Thanks. Tip Klamberg N9MVX Mascoutah, IL

Hi. Sometimes the (long) list of radios falls off the bottom of the screen, you may need to scroll or shift it up to see Yaesu, then select the radio with the other drop-down tool. Yaesu has been in there for a long time, the FT-60 is listed too, and when I try it, it walks me through the procedure needed at the radio, and then waits for a clone download (that never comes, as I don't have a FT-60 connected!) so I cancel and exit. This in "CHIRP daily-20180115" Best get your instance of CHIRP from the website, not relying on OS managed repositories, that are usually somewhat out of date. As you are a Mac user, go to:- https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download And follow the instructions there under the MacOS users section. Check also:- https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MacOS_Tips In particular re application security for your version of OS, and the notes based on whatever chip-set your USB<>serial cable is based on. VE don’t actually tell what chip-set they use, that I could see on the website. Never mind, the OS will tell you, if you check the system message log immediately after connecting the lead to the computer. Under Linux, the easiest way is from a command line terminal, issue a dmesg command, and what you want will be close to the end of the (verbose) listing. Google implies that Mac OS has the same command, so ??? Hope something helps. 73. Dave G0WBX (A Linux, not a Mac user.) On 22/01/18 20:00, T.E.

[chirp_users] Valley Enterprise USB and FT-60
by T.E. Klamberg Klamberg 21 Jan '18

21 Jan '18

Hi All, I received my cable from Valley Ent. Oh Boy, here I go. Gonna make that radio tune like never before. I insert the cable into the radios, and put the radio in Clone mode as per instructions. Plug in the USB into my MacBook Pro, then I go to the <Download from Radio> on the Radio menu bar on the Chirp app. Surprise!! No Yaesu listed at all. List starts at Alinco and ends with three or four radios starting with W. No, I repeat, no Yaesu. Yaesu is listed as supported on the Chirp website, so I am full-gonzo confused. Can anyone enlighten me and provide some help, please? Tip, N9MVX

Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV 82X
by Dave 17 Jan '18

I used factory software to configure as a 2/220 radio it was showing 2/440. I can not save the programing in the factory software or upload the file from the radio it uploads a little and then gives a connection error. Factory will download to radio but once I close the program I get to start over again. Chirp will let me upload the file but, errors out the 220 repeaters but not the 220 simplex frequencies. If I edit and reenter the repeaters I can download the file to the radio and it works but I just opened the saved file on my computer and it has error'd out the repeaters again. Also as I enter frequencies in the radio, 2 meters shows an offset of .600 but by the time I add the offset that has changed to 0.00 same on 220 the offset changes to 0.0 even though I have entered a + or - offset. At least the radio is programmed so, thanks for the help.

When I try to download from my 82X it lists the 220 channels as "error" and the 82X is listed as supported on the web page but, not in the list in the program. Any suggestions? N7AM

@mmcabe: I am new also. I ran into the same type problems you are, using a Valley Enterprises cable, a Yaesu FT-60, and a Macbook. I solved it by reloading all 3 software apps again...Chirp, Python and PL2303...those being the software apps needed for my Macbook. Fearing a repeat need for this requirement, I have left my computer running since the software re-installs. But give this approach a try. It did work for me. And make SURE you execute the correct steps in the exact CORRECT ORDER vis-a-vis the computer/radio or you will get the same "errors" displayed that are bothering you now.. Good luck.

[chirp_users] BF-T1 - Duplex: OFF
by Drew from Zhrodague 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

I am really excited to see support for the BF-T1! However, I did notice that I am not able to set the Duplex setting to OFF. I like to listen to the local UHF police frequencies, but prefer to prevent accidental transmissions. I am able to disable transmit with my Baofeng UV-5Rs and with the WLN KD-C1 radios using CHIRP. I am using the deb-based chirp-daily repo under Ubuntu 16. Any ideas, or am I missing something?

[chirp_users] How to Edit columnb information in chirp csv file?
by ve5rmk＠sasktel.net 13 Jan '18

13 Jan '18

Hi: I am a New user of chirp, I downloaded a repeater file for my area from Repeaterbook. My Radio is a ICOM t70a, I wish to upload this file to my tranceiver. I have the t70a to display repeaters by Name! I can sort the Location names alphabetically in the comments column from A to Z which is what I want, but this randomly sorts the memory locations in the Loc column, eg: 25, 42, 52, 7........ I would like to have the repeaters to be in alpabetical order by location, AND have the memory Locations to be in order from 1to 58 as there is 58 repeaters. I would also like to change entries in the Name column to locations in alphabetical order instead of reapeater callsign as they are now. How would I do this? Any help Greatly appreciated!

Do we want > the hobby to grow. or wither away as we all get old? The only problem there, is if the same lame question is being asked time and time and time again, then there is something seriously missing in the instructions, documentation or help files. More often than not, it's the creators of an application or package, that create that documentation (initially at least) but it's plain as the nose on our faces, that often they are "too close" to it all, to realise that some small but critical detail that is plain and obvious to them, is total smoke and mirrors to other people. As always, the devil is in the detail. In this case, my impression is that the documentation explaining the programming interface lead/hardware is often seriously lacking. Not helped any by the radio manufacturers in some cases, and the plethora of other sites on the inter-web, that often have conflicting information. 73. Dave G0WBX. (Who in the past has been, and will probably again be the noob who's been flamed for asking "dumb" questions. Plus at other times guilty as charged of the curt one liners. We've all done it I suspect. Hopefully I wont any more.)

[chirp_users] Concurrance
by Al Jones 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

I like the give and take from all the people here *except* that there are times when it's not helpful at all. We get a new member who doesn't know what he's doing, thinks he's read everything and is still missing "something" --- and one of our beneficent members replies "RTFM!" or someone else chimes in with "get the right cable!" or better yet "That won't work!" Those one line zingers are not only NO help, they're probably going to turn off some guy who might eventually be the one to help someone else, down the line. I have a friend who had a Linux problem and the response he got here was - "It works fine with *my* Ubuntu!" Sometimes confirmation that something works is a big help, it just means that we're not looking in the right place. When I phrased his question differently I got some great assistance ... there are some good guys here and to them I say "Thanks!" << tripping off my soapbox, sorry >>

However, I keep getting digests filled with the total previous digest copied multiple times. If you simply clean up your reply, maybe include a relevant quote, and add a meaningful subject - some of us would be inclined to read it and help. - That concludes my vent.

Hi David (and others), I'm using default Windows 10 coding/decoding. It works perfectly with almost everything I use, including Word, Access, Excel, Visio, Audition, Winamp, Firefox, EditPad, Paint, an AMR converter, Bulk Rename, and several Canon utilities to name but a few. It also works perfectly with older versions of several of the above. Emails in both directions via Yahoo! and MSN are no problem. I find incorrect punctuation in a fair number of 'Comments' made about various news items as well as the chirp-users messages. It has been suggested that the incorrect punctuation is because of data mis-handling by systems in other countries where the apostrophe is not recognised in their language and the question-mark is substituted at that point. I like that explanation, it fits in with the world-wide nature of Amateur Radio as well as news-item comments from all over the world. Such activities would be out of the control of both the sender and recipient. This has legal implications - the email that someone sends may not look like the email that is received, and therefore will be useless as evidence. Thanks for yours and everyone else's interest, 73, Chris ________________________________ From: chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> on behalf of chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Sent: 08 January 2018 20:00 To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: chirp_users Digest, Vol 109, Issue 8 Send chirp_users mailing list submissions to chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com You can reach the person managing the list at chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of chirp_users digest..."

What encoding are you using? I use UTF-8 on my desktop for the locale. If someone sends me a different encoding it often appears as you say it does. I am using an Android at the monent, so I have no idea of tge encoding, but probably UTF-8. 73 David N1EA On Jan 6, 2018 3:16 PM, "Christopher F.

Hi, Chris here. What's all this utter nonsense that is becoming more and more common whereby the question mark is used instead of the apostrophe? I'm fed up of seeing stuff that won't read easily because of it, e.g. I?m fed up of seeing stuff that won?t read easily because of it. It?s rubbish! Where did you lot learn English grammar' Chris. N.B. All punctuation errors above are deliberate, designed to emphasise the point of this message. ________________________________ From: chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> on behalf of chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com <chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Sent: 06 January 2018 20:00 To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: chirp_users Digest, Vol 109, Issue 6 Send chirp_users mailing list submissions to chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com You can reach the person managing the list at chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of chirp_users digest..."
