[chirp_users] IC-746PRO?
by Dan Romanchik KB6NU 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

Has anyone been successful getting Chirp to work with an ICOM IC-746PRO? Here, Chirp seems to go through the motions of talking to my IC-746PRO, but it never downloads the memory, nor does it allow me to program any of the memories. 73!

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20171012 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #501 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix long-standing test runner output bug The unified logging code arrests stdout for the purposes of non-interactive console logging to a file. This has been preventing proper console output when running in the build system, making it harder to debug failures. This adds a CHIRP_TESTENV override environment variable, and always sets it from the test runner since we should always have interactive output from it. Related to #5237 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Remove unnecessary test tools After #5237 these are no longer necessary and duplicative. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add tox.ini for running tests Tox handles venv creation and management of setup install for running tests. Since we have a venv required already, this just makes sense. Now, instead of: ./run_all_tests.sh You can just run: tox Assuming you have tox installed (pip install tox). You can run individual test groups like this: tox -e unit tox -e driver and still pass arguments to the driver tests per usual with: tox -e driver -- -d Icom_IC-2200H I'll be working to make the build system use tox for running tests with better isolation and hopefully more repeatability. #5237 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Some fixes to run_tests First, in r2787 we made the BruteForce test do RadioFeatures validation on a memory, avoiding a failure if the memory did not validate. For some reason we still required that radio.validate_memory() pass for any of those tests, which doesn't allow for the radio to ban quirks in the tests. This makes us not fail if the radio rightly fails to validate. Second, we were modifying the memory in do_mode() so that once we passed FM in the mode sequence we were always trying freq+100Mhz. Depending on how we ran the tests (i.e. which order we hit the modes) this would sometimes fail. This makes us copy the original memory so we're stable throughout the modes. Related to #5237 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [icq7] Add validate_memory() for sub-30MHz AM requirement This driver has a requirement that anything under 30MHz be AM. Validate that in validate_memory() so we can properly handle cases where that won't work. Found in the pursuit of #5237 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Remove dedicated silly rptbuild setup handler This just makes setup.py more complicated and there's no reason to build this as a separate package. Just build it as an additional script on the main default build. Needed for #5237 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Let make_supported.py take an output filename as the first argument Needed for #5237 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] More pep8 compliance fixes #2355 [Imuli <i(a)imu.li>] [uv5r] UV-82 use ASCII charset Partially fixes #5227 The UV-82 supports all of ASCII (with two replacements). I imagine other Baofeng radios do also, so this provides an easy means to specify supported characters for different models.

[chirp_users] programming issues
by Glenn Wise 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

9-19-2017 I am using Chirp and a TYT USB cable to program a TYT-9000D 2 meter ham radio. Software and USB cable work without any issues. I have tried MULTIPLE times to use same version of CHIRP and same USB cable to program a QTY-7900D and a QTY-8900D. I have NOT ever been able to read the QYT radio's. Neither model. The software will appear to start to read the radio and then drop out. Screen shows either comm. Error or says radio would not go into clone mode. By the software and cable working on the TYT-9000D, in my mind that clears the software and cable. IF there were any issues with the software or the cable, I don't believe I could use the combo on the TYT-9000D. I am open to any suggestions as what to do.

[chirp_users] TS-2000 SUB BAND EXPORT
by Tim Billingsley 07 Oct '17

07 Oct '17

1. Does CHIRP support the export of the memories on the SUB band or only the MAIN band? 2. Will there be further development on the TS-2000 in the future? I see that it us a"Live" radio, but being visually challenged CHIRP makes modifying setting on y various radios MUCH eaier. I can't speak for all, CHIRP beat the tar out of a flashlight and handheld magnifier. Thanks to all the developers that have worked to make this such a great tool!

[chirp_users] Btech UV-25X4
by Greg Petrey 01 Oct '17

01 Oct '17

I know it is something I'm doing wrong but I can't get the Btech UV-25X4 to program. I can read the radio, update the templete and upload to the radio but it doesn't overwrite the display so my new channels only show up in position 4 on the display. The default channels remain in position 1-3. If someone has experience with this radio, please contact me offline or share a working file that I can compare. Thanking you in advance. Greg

Got to the UV5 “Menu” and use arrow to go to menu 22 “MDF-B.” Hit the “menu” button again and arrow to “NAME.” Hit mane to confirm and “EXIT.” Now you have FREQuency display on “A” with a name of its channel on. Just did it on mine…kind of nice. Just remember whatever is displayed on A channel is probably different than what is selected on B. (Unless same channels are selected.)

Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng uv-5r doesn't upload channel names
by kc2ote 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

I've tried setting it using the keypad as well as changing it in CHIRP. Does it need to be the same in both (radio and software) before I start? Also, if it's uploading the names, why do the names not come back into CHIRP on a subsequent download from the radio? One more question, I have the 97 firmware on the radio so would it possibly not load / display any names if some are 7 characters? CHIRP supports 7 but as I understand it the newer firmware only allows 6. Thanks.

[chirp_users] Cannot connect UV-5RA with Mac
by Walter Scrivens 20 Sep '17

20 Sep '17

Total N00B here - well not really, I was WA2HEP back in the 1960’s. Everything has changed! My son gave me a Boafeng UV5-RA transceiver and I’m trying to connect it with chirp using the Baofeng USB cable that came with the radio. I’ve installed several driver files recommended on different forums, the latest being the one recommended by Baofeng, the Prolific Technology driver. Here is an excerpt from the Mac System Report: USB-Serial Controller: Product ID: 0x2303 Vendor ID: 0x067b (Prolific Technology, Inc.) Version: 3.00 Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc. Location ID: 0x14200000 / 9 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): 100 Extra Operating Current (mA): 0 chirp does not recognize this driver, in fact it only sees the Bluetooth driver. I do a lot of work with Arduino, and I know the USB ports work properly. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling chirp, but no joy, it just isn’t seeing the USB port. I’m using chirp-daily-20170714.app which seems to be the newest version on the website. I’m running OS X 11.3 (High Sierra). Any help would be welcome. Walt

Then after researching a bit more I found this: Application Security in 10.12+ As of 10.12 (Sierra) the UI for disabling app security was removed. The functionality is still there, but must be enabled from the command line. To whitelist a single application (like an unzipped chirp-daily.app): 1. unzip chirp.zip 2. control click on the unzipped application and select New Terminal at Folder. (Don't see that menu item? Instructions to enable it <https://lifehacker.com/launch-an-os-x-terminal-window-from-a-specific-folde…> ) 3. run this command in the newly opened terminal window: spctl --add $PWD Alternately, you can disable them for your entire system, although this has security implications that should not be ignored. Run this command in a terminal: sudo spctl --master-enable If I do the above will it work? If so... then I'll buy the Programming cable. Again... I'm new at this. Any tips on running the CHIRP App/CD and Programming cable with my above listed Mac OS?

[chirp_users] Kenwood TK-880H
by Will Mayberry 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

Greetings, I use CHIRP with my Baofeng UV-5R and TYT TH-9800, and it's a great tool. Thanks to all who've developed it! I now have a couple Kenwood TK-880H's that I'm using for 70cm Ham and GMRS (I'm licensed for both). What does it take to get the TK-880H added as a supported radio? I see it already supports the TK-860 family. I'm more than happy to loan a radio to help with development. Thanks, Will Mayberry [W7WBM (Ham) / WQYR402 (GMRS)] Fallon, NV

Not specofic enough What operating system? Is the cable driver installed without an issue. If you are using windows usualy down grading the driver to ver 3.2.0.0 solves many problems.

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-7900 change memory content display
by Jerome Whelan 10 Sep '17

10 Sep '17

I have successfully programmed several hundred memory channels on my Yaesu FT-7900 using CHIRP. Each memory channel is displayed as “memory address and LABEL". I want each memory channel to display as “memory address and FREQUENCY" instead. Is it possible to select / control this behavior through CHIRP ? Do I need to edit my file to clear all labels and re-upload? Thanks for anyone’s experience here. Jerry AB3SX

Thanks Aubrey, you are right. Has to be BTECH not Baofeng. I finally tumbled to that but my forehead was dented and hurting by then. After that change the UV-25X2 showed up. Thanks!

I went to Chirp web site Faq's and tells me to update to latest Daily build (we get 07/14/17), which I have and #2 says go to bottom of download page and get development/daily build BUT I cannot find that spot at all, on any page.

If this is the radio I think it is, you should look under the BTech brand rather than Baofeng. The UV-25x2 is listed as a BTech on the Chirp Wiki.

[chirp_users] Error
by Mark Miller 04 Sep '17

Hello Chirp, I recently attempted to install the driver for OS X. It installed correctly to the best of my knowledge. I then installed Python Runtime, then Chirp. I can launch Chirp, but when I try to download an image, I receive an error report. I speculate that it is due to the cable driver. The error reads: Radio did not respond. Do you have any suggestions? The installation was on an iMac. Your assistance would be appreciated! Sincerely, Mark Miller KE0MQQ markmiller196633(a)icloud.com.

[chirp_users] Submitting new requests
by John La 02 Sep '17

02 Sep '17

If interested in having a radio model included in CHIRP, a radio needs to be provided to a developer interested in working on the project. The official CHIRP website is: http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home Here's the procedure for requesting a new radio... If you would like to open a request, you would need to - Go to the CHIRP website. (link above) - Register to the website (upper right corner) - Select the Issues Tab and verify that the request for the new radio hasn't already been submitted. - If it's not found, select the New Issue tab and submit your request. - Check back periodically to review the status of your request. In most cases, a loaner radio is required so it can be backward engineered. _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Michael Cole at mwhcole45(a)gmail.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com

OK Chirpers, ran into a wall. I have an FT897 that has had the extended transmit, so I am using the NON US setting on the drop down. I can download fine. I downloaded the memories from the radio and saved that file, modified it and attempting to upload. Followed the onscreen instruction when attempting to upload.Tried all variations of clicking OK and pressing the A (RCV) bottom on the radio. Attempting all the above results in "An Error has occurred could not open comport 17,Error 5 Access is denied on screen And ERROR flashes on the radio. Something I have missed? Randy W4RTT

problem solved....chirp does NOT write the file to the disk unless you say overwrite the file and then save the file when you exit... seems to me once it writes to memory you should be asked if you want to save it....or the message should say something like "file mytestsetup.cvs has not been saved Do you want to save it now?" thanks for all the hints...
