[chirp_users] Programming a BTECH UV-50X2
by Bob DeFranco 12 May '17

12 May '17

I just ordered a BTECH UV-50X2 and was going to download the latest version of ChiRP to program it. Looking at the list of supported radios, however, I see the UV-50X3 and the UV-5001 (the predecessor to the UV-50X2) but not my radio. Which model should I select? I suppose I could just try different ones and see which works, but I worry about bricking the radio. Any advice? Bob DeFranco

[chirp_users] Jingtong JT-5988HP support
by Shon Edwards 09 May '17

09 May '17

I'm patient and I don't need the support myself any more, but this would be a wonderful radio to get CHIRP working with. I know a lot of people would appreciate it very much. I bought the radio from Amazon a couple of months ago. I had the cable and software. I tried everything. Nothing worked. To give you an idea of what is necessary to program this radio correctly, I'll outline the steps below even this may not be directly on topic. I'm hoping to show just how difficult this radio is to program, so hopefully we can get some CHIRP support soon.. It's the only 12/10W (no one is sure which it really is) radio (HT) I know of. Anyway, here's how I stumbled on a way to program it: 1. I searched google until I found: http://prepari.org/?page= 5988HP#review-JT5988HP.html. 2. Get the disc out that comes with the radio or click here: htpps:// amazon.com/jt-5988/JT-5988+High+Mid+Low.rar and get ready to copy a driver from it to your HDD. 3. Install the s/w. (it's better than the Chinese s/w for programming) 4. Watch the video on how to set up a com port: JT-5988HP-com-port-setup_ HTML-video.mp4. 5. Click on setup. 6. Click on communication port. 7. Select an available com port and number one will be deselected, then OK. 8. Put the Chinese disc in your drive that came with the radio. 9. Click on the subdirectory (folder): USB驱动. Then click on the folder labeled CH340. Find the executable file CH341SRE.exe. You can not run it from its current position because of all the Chinese characters in the path. Copy it to your hard drive and then run it. Install the driver. Click on OK. If you want to see that it's there, I'm tired of writing steps, but you get the picture. 73 de Shon K6QT Shon R.

In CHIRP I have Settings > Basic Settings > Display Mode A: 'Name' and Settings > Basic Settings > Display Mode B: 'Frequency' Is there a setting that will allow the Display Mode B: frequencies to stay in sync with Display Mode A: 'Name' when the unit is in Scan mode? Thanks, Tom NB5Q

[chirp_users] Help
by Brewster 08 May '17

08 May '17

I recently purchased a QYT KT 7900D radio and uploaded frequencies to it using the latest version of CHIRP. The problem is that all the frequencies go into all of the four different bands. The radio as described has four "channels", A-D. What I am trying to do is assign the 2 meter band to channel A, the 220 Mhz band to channel B, the FRS/MURS/GMRS frequencies to channel C, and the 440 Mhz band to channel D. Has anyone had any experience with this radio and frequency allotments such as I describe? Thanks, Bruce AD8K

[chirp_users] Icom ID-5100, any work on it?
by Chuck Hast 08 May '17

08 May '17

I have one and sure would like to be able to put channels into the SD card that stores the channels (actually sort of a backup to the on board storage) I can send someone files that the Windows program generates which you then copy to the SD card, and then place the SD card in the radio and read it. I can even send you a copy of the original Windows program if you want, (It is free anyhow) I have programmed the radio with the software but find it easier just to pull out the SD card, load it and be done. Would rather do it under Linux rather than have to deal with Windows stupidity. I sure wish I knew how to code as I would have tried my hand at it but I do not.

[chirp_users] CHRIP and Icom ID-51A Plus - Out of sync with radio
by Noah B 08 May '17

08 May '17

Hi there, I've been trying to connect to my Icom ID-51A Plus with CHIRP and I'm getting this message in Windows 7, MacOS, and Linux: "An error has occurred Failed to communicate with the radio: Out of sync with radio" I'm using a Valley Enterprises Icom OPC-2218LU USB FTDI Chipset cable which works under Windows 7 with the Icom CS51-PLUS software that came with the radio. I've tried connectin in clone mode and not in clone mode, and I'm using CHIRP version daily-20170501. After some poking around on the website, mailing list, and issue tracker, I'm not certain if CHIRP is supposed to be working with this radio. Any suggestions? I'm really hoping that I can get CHIRP working so I can avoid using the Icom software... Thanks! Noah

Re: [chirp_users] off topic hardware question
by Steve Bosshard (NU5D) 06 May '17

Easiest way would be to use a cheap field strength meter - kinda like the $20 CB SWR meters with a short whip to get a relative strength indication - the correct antenna will have a noticeably greater field strength - in a pinch I once used a Simpson 260 in the AC range setting and the test leads for an antenna - crude but useful. nu5d -- *✞ ΙΧΘΥΣ* <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

[chirp_users] CHIRP VHF / UHF band "low / high" band limits ?
by Constable John Vith 06 May '17

06 May '17

We are a state law enforcement office using CHIRP to program "QYT - KT 8900 D" units for use in our prisoner transport and patrol vehicles. Our area (Greater Pittsburgh, PA) is one of the few areas nationwide where due to congestion the "T-Band" UHF (480 - 520 Mhz) is in use. Under the "Settings - Other Setting" tabs on CHIRP the band limits are "grayed out", preset to 136 - 174 Mhz VHF and 400 - 480 Mhz UHF. How can we change the "high" (upper) band limit for UHF from 480 Mhz to 520 Mhz ?

About 6 weeks ago, i purchased the 2 radios listed in the subject line to test them out for work. I programmed them both to the frequencies assigned to our license. We were assigned a corporate license recently, with different frequencies, vs our stand alone site license which is going to expire. Using the same computer, same "fake prolific" Baofeng cloning cable and the updated daily CHIRP software i was able to reprogram the UV5R, but when i went to read the BD888S i received the error message "radio refused to enter programming mode". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Need to order the cable for the VX-8DR (Yaesu), and the UV-50x3 (BTech) in the truck, but I see those in the list in Chirp, so I'm very hopeful at this point...

I would still rather use CHIRP as all my other radios are programmed with it and also to show my appreciation to all the great CHIRP guy's & girls out there :-) On Mon, Apr 24, 2017 at 12:00 PM, < chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> wrote: > 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..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Greetings Don, You mention that you are able to program your FT270 by selecting 160 in CHIRP; what cable are you using? I have an RTSystems USB cable but have no success using CHIRP to connect by selecting the FT 160. The message I get is either 'Radio did not respond' or 'Unable to load header' Any suggestions? 73's Eric VE7ECJ

[chirp_users] No support for UV-82c in most recent versions?
by Daniel Humphries 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

I downloaded the daily build of CHIRP 20170414 and proceeded to connect my uv-82c, I didn't think much about the radio list only showing uv-82 and uv-82hp, but when I couldn't get my radio to connect I started to suspect I have a problem. I won't entirely discount the programming cable, but it's not a prolific chipset, it's a CP2102 and I've used it for programming other devices so I know it works, but I have not used this cable with CHIRP so I'm not sure if I have a communication issue, or a model support issue. I looked at the model support page and I can't find the C version as a supported radio. I looked through several of the old versions and couldn't find one that supports the UV-82C anywhere. What version do I need to install to program a UV-82C and where do I find it? Thanks, Daniel

Hello CHIRPers I have a Yaesu FT 270R and tried to program it via CHIRP...but it looks like this model is not covered. Any wizards out there that will be adding this model to the programming list in CHIRP in the not too distant future? 73's Eric

[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV8E
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

Hello CHIRPers. This Wouxun KG-UV8E is a wonderful radio. It's tri-band, nice. I've tried through two former radio officer friends who live in Hong Kong to get in touch with the engineer at Wouxun to see if he would provide CHIRP devs some info on their software control scheme. No luck, despite continued tries. I still have mine up for offer to loan and I have the programming software and cable. I'm almost going to either sell this or buy R/T software just so I can import from other radios. Anyone interested? 73 David N1EA

Hi, Looking for some guidance from the Linux gurus. Linux newbie here. I have zesty installed and I added the chirp repository from the install page. During updates I get a failed to fetch error. My chirp is from 1/24/2017. Of course my radio template is one of the newer ones so not in this version. It is in the latest windows build. How can I get an ubuntu update? Thanks Terry Sent from my iPhone

Using CHIRP for Yaesu FT-857D. Noticed when I reprogram radio display defaults to 'Tag' which shows station name. I use frequency instead. I find no option in CHIRP to change this default. Has anyone found this option in CHIRP? Thanks.

Conversation are fluid, some people quote full blocks and interleave their comments and trim, while others hit reply without selecting anything which by default will place the cursor above the entire email they’re replying to with all the sigs at each end of all text underneath rather than this interwoven style. Each email, I have to “hop” down to look for new content and screen carefully that I don’t miss something. Switch to a daily digest for a few days, and you can see what I see.

Problem solved, at the cost of a few seconds on behalf of each sender.

I think we’re on the same wavelength. I try to keep things simple & only quote what’s needed—thus my list member suggestion (#2: highlight & respond to small chunks) that was after the more scripting intensive #1 suggestion. I do not want to leave the list because I can find out about new features and see issues as they develop. However, simple troubleshooting can create a lot of noise that forces me to skim some digests. I don’t want to curtail anyone’s freedom of expression either—some of the .sigs still crack me up. Unfortunately, short of setting up a phpBB bulletin board for developments, troubleshooting/help along with this channel I see no way around these long chains. BTW, some daily digests contain 20+ emails with complete threads repeated each time which can make for 30+ pages of scrolling. If you want to see it, switch to digest & wait for a busy day (or just copy a full day’s worth of emails into one long text document. I recall one week where I was interested in a thread about support for a new radio, but I gave up trying to follow it after a day or two of it popping up with increasingly long emails. Either way, the noise (or “fog”) actually discourages me from following things here closer—but it’s not like most people have a ton of free time anyway. :) Thanks, M

Re: [chirp_users] chirp_users Digest Excessive Length
by M Noivad 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

I make this request as a person who only received a single email a day since my involvement with this group is more of an issue/application state monitor end-user, that prefers receive concise emails that will take up less time to read. With that in mind I am requesting either admins or end users to take a more active role is reading the raw emails that do not hide repeated copy. Is there any way (A) the mailing list manager could scrub signatures & boilerplate text added at the end of each message when sent in daily digest format? this block: > _______________________________________________ > chirp_users mailing list > chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com id repeated in every message even in digest form. Also, not truncating .sigs longer than 80(chars)x4(lines) after the first mention make for a very long email when sent in digest form which could be scripted out of creating reams of text. I noticed even the long .sig asking people to consider not printing goes beyond the 4 line .sig guideline established on the UUNET/newsgroups* which tells me others may see this as an issue to. (*Prior to WWW gaining inline images, email lists & newsgroups—like phpBB—was the main method most people used to communicate bidirectionally w/o having to register a domain name, in case some do not know.) If you notice, I do not intentionally add a .sig for this reason. (But I do own all typos & editing mistakes:) This is merely a suggestion. Do with it what you will. Members of this list could also highlight sections they wish to reply to & hit reply in most email applications to trim (semi-)automatically. (For instance: I just hit reply with my setup here.) Thanks CHIRPers, M —anything below this line was added by the software on my end or from the mailing list manager—
