[chirp_users] retevis rt-5rv
by Tom Simonson 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

I have used Chirp with Baofeng and BTech radios. I may have the occasion to program some retevis rt-5rv radios. They look quite similar to the retevis rt-5r (with just the addition of a chrome screen over the speaker), and appear to be like the Baofeng UV-5r radios. I assume that they are part of the same family as the Baofeng 5 series radios. Chirp does have an entry for the retevis rt-5r, but not for the retevis rt-5rV variant. I expect that they are functionally the same (for programming basic functionality e.g. channels, channel names etc.), but can anybody confirm that they can be programmed with the 5R selected? -- Tom Simonson, Alameda CA (tom(a)tsimonson.com)

Hi, I have purchased a Baofeng UV-5R but when I try to upload a frequency list I get this error.

[chirp_users] Unable to read/write Wouxon KG-UV8D
by Phil - w2lie 30 Oct '16

30 Oct '16

Before I opened up a bug ticket, I wanted to reach out to the mailing list to see if anyone else can direct me to a solution. I'm attempting to program a Wouxon KG-UV8D transmitter for someone else. I'm using the Chirp Daily Build (20161018) with a true serial cable connection. This cable works fine on my Kenwood and Baofeng radios, so I'm hoping this is the same cable. I've used this cable in the past on older Wouxon Radios without issues. The radio will not talk to the Wouxon software, and when I attempt to read the radio via Chirp, I receive an error. I'm thinking that this is a new radio and that the firmware has changed slightly, and now Chirp won't handshake. The error I receive when attempting to read the radio is "Failed to communicate with radio: ord() expected a character, but string of length 0 found" Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. 73 Phil / w2lie

[chirp_users] UV5R programming problems
by Richard 30 Oct '16

30 Oct '16

I know this is a common problem but I have tried all the "usual" things with no success. I am on my second programming cable after the first one just didn't get recognised as a USB device, and first attempt I was able to download the contents of my radio. Since then however it's not worked again. The cable works OK and the drivers are loaded, as confirmed by opening a serial terminal, linking the TX and RX pins and observing loopback. The radio goes into TX when powered on with the cable attached and some vicious connector trimming doesn't help - I am sure it is going all the way in. Following the order in the Chirp pop-up instructions (cable is already connected to PC and correct serial port selected, radio off, connect cable, radio on with volume right up, check no activity, click OK) doesn't help. The radio goes into TX as soon as it's booted and after a few seconds I get "Radio did not respond". The radio does *not* go into TX if I have that port open in a serial terminal when I turn the radio on, and presumably if Chirp opened the port when the instructional message is displayed (before the radio is turned on) but still waited for the user to click OK before trying to communicate all would work? I think that the one time it did work it might have been TX-ing and I just got lucky that it didn't interfere with communications - I do remember some interference on my monitor which I now know happens when the radio transmits. Anyone got any good ideas? Given that the radio doesn't go into transmit mode when the serial port is open I can't see how it can be bad cable / poor connections. This is on Linux Mate 1.12.1, with the current daily Chirp build. My user is in the dialout group and has serial port access. Thanks Richard

[chirp_users] CHIRP on Linux Command Line
by Danny Anderson 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

Hi all, I am currently working on a project to build an enhanced Fox Hunt set with a few features, most notably the ability to change broadcast frequency on a BOAFENG GT-3 and send a message by reading text from a CSV and putting this through Text to Speak. I currently have everything working except for the ability to make frequency changes through the command line. Can anyone point me in the direction of the correct documentation or give me a quick rundown of the console commands needed to either change the frequency or replace the pre programmed frequency list on the fly via the Linux console? Fully aware I may be going about this an arse about backwards way, so if there is a better way of achieving this I am all ears. Regards, Randie

It was based on some iCom model, and my old radio has the same microphone plug on the top as the one on my current radio. The antenna and squelch and volume buttons might get in the way though.

Re: [chirp_users] BAOFENG UV-5R not writable by RT Systems
by Rich Messeder 24 Oct '16

24 Oct '16

I see your point, John, but disagree. This list is advertised as a list of thousands of experts. I showed up locally to help someone who asked for it, and brought along CHIRP on my laptop because I use it for my BAOFENG radios. I also use RT, but for other radios. And yet another for my Kenwood. Personal choices, all. The person I am helping doesn't have my level of tech, so he needs some support. Same goes for me, wrt BAOFENG.. I don't know what the "radio type" is, and I didn't see it in CHIRP. I posted here in the hopes that someone could shed light on the question. I'll be following up on Fred's behalf with the radio vendor, RT Systems, and, now, here. All I want to do is help and educate, and I see this as a learning opportunity for me and for him. ~R~ On 2016-10-23 20:32:-0400, John wrote: >-------- Original Message -------- >From: Rich Messeder >Sent: Sunday, Oct 23, 2016 8:09 PM EST >To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com >Subject: [chirp_users] BAOFENG UV-5R not writable by RT Systems > >I know ;-) this is a chirp list. >_______________________________________________ > >And.. yet you still post an off-topic message >_______________________________________________ >chirp_users mailing list >chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com >http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users >This message was sent to WeatheredSoul at rich.messeder(a)gmail.com >To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com

[chirp_users] BAOFENG UV-5R not writable by RT Systems
by Rich Messeder 24 Oct '16

24 Oct '16

I know ;-) this is a chirp list. Well, a ham asked for my help. He had recently purchased 2 UV-5R from the same vendor. He uses RTS, and wanted to be able to help some new hams, so he figured that he'd make their radios (those UV-5R) just like his UV-5RA. One of the radios worked OK, the other not. I went over and tried CHIRP. It read and wrote to both the 5RA and the 5R. Then we tried with RTS. RTS would download from the UV-5R, but when it tried to upload, we got an error. BAOFENG UV-5R type 5831FFFFFFFFF BAOFENG UV-5R type 5804010000000 Didn't say what it expected, but I am guessing the first type code. Tomorrow (2016-10-24), I intend to contact RTS and the radio vendor, but I figured that I'd drop a note here in case this is familiar to any of you. BAOFENG UV-5R Version BFB297 Firmware HN5RV01 1 141006N 3+ON gives bfb297 6+ON gives 150304N ?? Not sure Thanks, ~R~

[chirp_users] Macbook + Icom ID-880H + BlueMax49ers FTDI cable = frustration
by Creede Lambard 21 Oct '16

21 Oct '16

I’ve seen this sort of thing posted before on the list but I haven’t noticed a fix or workaround. I’m running OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) on a Macbook Pro. Last weekend I bought a brand new Icom ID-880H after checking to make sure that it’s supported according to the Chirp wiki. This afternoon I got a FTDI-based USB cable from BlueMax49 and figured I’d clone my radio, then upload the results back. I was able to successfully clone the memory, so it looks like the drivers and cable are working, and I noticed that Chirp includes D-STAR information - something I’d never had call to notice before as this is my first D-STAR capable radio! Well done! Unfortunately, when I changed one tone setting and gave the channels labels, then went to upload the information back to the radio, the Chirp progress bar went all the way to the right, but then I got an error message: “Failed to communicate with radio: Did not get clone result from radio” That’s not the worst part, though. After Chirp errors out the radio is stuck at “CL IN”. When I shut the radio off and turn it back on again the display says CLEAR, then the ICOM banner and finally the radio is back to a factory restored state. All of the memories I programmed in over the weekend are gone. Happily, they are stored in a .img file on the Mac; unhappily, I can’t seem to get the file to load into the radio. For what it’s worth, I get the same error when I try to upload an image with only one memory slot filled in. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround? What can I do to get Chirp working? I’ve been using the software for years and this is the first problem I’ve had with it. I can send a copy of the .img file if you need me to. Thanks. -- Creede Lambard Sent with Airmail

Greetings from New Zealand. I am trying to Identify a Baofeng radio that I was given some 6 months ago. It is labelled BF-UVB2 PLUS but it does not look like those on web pages . It has the appearance of a UV-82. I have tried all the "chirp" Baofeng models, but none worked. Most common response "Radio did not respond" Any suggestions. Works fine with manual programming. UV-5 and UV-3 and others working fine on Chirp (Thank you) Regards Dave D ZL1TIA

Hi, I just got a new Baofeng for my birthday. It is a BF-F9 V2. I use Chirp on Ubuntu. First off, is this radio in the list? And if so, will Ubuntu update to the latest Chirp? Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Can't download from Yaesu FT-817
by Carla Ruigh 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

Hello, I am having a heck of a time trying to start the process of programming my ft817 by doing the initial download. I bought one cable, and after multiple failures using both Mac and PC, I bought another cable, the more expensive one. On the Mac side, I’ve downloaded and installed the ftdi drivers from here: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm . Still does not work. The radio just goes into “error”. I’m not getting an error message from Chirp. The Radio screen just starts flashing “Error” a few seconds after I put it into transmit mode. The Drivers appear to be working as the download dialog shows “dev/cu.usbserial-AI04KBP8” as an option. I really don’t have any idea what else to try. On the PC side, (under parallels), under “Devices” I connect the FT232R USB UART to the PC. Same thing happens. I go to download from radio, now “Com6” is what shows up, when I hit transmit it just errors out after a few seconds. No error message from CHIRP. The clone dialog just sits there open. Would sure appreciate any suggestions. Getting really frustrated. –cj- On 10/12/16, 5:17 AM, "awake" <chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com on behalf of awake(a)0324am.net> wrote: Hi, A while ago I purchased a TYT-8000E and I'm trying to figure out whether there's a way how to make it work with chirp.

Are there any other people on this list using this radio? If yes, which SW are you using to program it? Also, if there's a developer willing to implement the support for this radio, I could provide hardware on loan and/or help out with testing..

Hi Guys, I recently purchased a Baiston BST-520 UHF transceiver. I have tried programming it using all the Baofeng settings within Chirp but none of these work. I have a Baiston UV-558 which I can programme using the Baofeng UV-5r settings. Any ideas what I can use to programme the BST-520? Regards, Bill Archer. Sent from Mail for Windows 10
