[chirp_users] New UV5-RTP not recognized with BF-F8HP model selection
by Dr. Hans-Christian Becker 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

Hello, This is my first foray into China radios and Chirp. Yesterday I get a two-pack Baofeng UV5-RTP radios. I downloaded the latest build of Chirp (20161123). When I select "BF-F8HP" as per the FAQ, I get an "Incorrect Model" error. After downloading with the UV5-R model selection, firmware version reported is HN5RV01 1FB297 debug.log after testing with BF-F8HP and then UV5-R models attached. Any hints and help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, Hans-Christian SM7TL/KG6POK

[chirp_users] Wouxun KG UV8D deaf
by Caglar AKGUNGOR 03 Dec '16

03 Dec '16

Hello, I have a Wouxun UV8D which I had programmed last year with an OEM cable with success. Yesterday I have attempted to add some new channels. Everything seemed normal at a first glance but then I have realized that the radio has no reception at all. The frequency, the channel name and all other parameters can be seen on the screen and as far as I can see it transmits on both VHF and UHF (checked with a scope) but no reception, anywhere. I have seen on the net that other people had similar problems, their radios becoming deaf after programming. Does anyone know what is the cause? And the cure? Another problem I have noticed (which didn't happen last year during programming) is that my Mac (a Macbook air) tend to freeze while using Chirp. Can it be something related to the latest build? 73, Caglar TA2UH

Many times it is caused by trying to put a program from an older radio into a newer radio with different firmware.. It bricks the squelch circuit.. You can go to MIKLOR.com to reinsert the proper firmware and make a new program..I have also experienced that problem..

Does anyone know what is the cause? And the cure? I've heard of a similar problem which was caused by physical damage to the headphone socket. It wasn't programming which caused the problem, it was plugging the programming cable in which caused it. The audio goes through the headphone jack socket so the internal speaker can be muted when a plug is inserted. If the contact hasn't sprung back properly then the internal speaker will stay muted. Does the RX light turn on when it receives a signal? You could try plugging a speaker/headphones into the socket and see if you hear the audio through that. Although I believe it's a 2.5mm jack plug you'll need! -- Andrew.

[chirp_users] ATR-22/BF-888 issues
by Bernard Kersefarutz 01 Dec '16

First time posting on this subscription list. I'm fairly new to radio stuff, just got a handful of ATR-22s off of Amazon by Amcrest. I am trying to program them through the CHIRP software but to no avail. I keep getting an error message of "No response from radio" Here's the error in the debug.log [2016-11-30 19:28:00,760] chirp.ui.mainapp - DEBUG: User selected Baofeng BF-888 on port COM3 [2016-11-30 19:28:00,792] chirp.ui.clone - DEBUG: Clone thread started [2016-11-30 19:28:00,792] chirp.drivers.h777 - DEBUG: download [2016-11-30 19:28:01,167] chirp.ui.reporting - DEBUG: Reporting exception [2016-11-30 19:28:01,167] chirp.ui.common - ERROR: -- Exception: -- [2016-11-30 19:28:01,167] chirp.ui.common - ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "chirp\ui\clone.pyo", line 249, in run File "chirp\drivers\h777.pyo", line 288, in sync_in File "chirp\drivers\h777.pyo", line 187, in do_download File "chirp\drivers\h777.pyo", line 109, in _h777_enter_programming_mode RadioError: No response from radio [2016-11-30 19:28:01,167] chirp.ui.common - ERROR: ---------------- [2016-11-30 19:28:01,167] chirp.ui.clone - ERROR: Clone failed: No response from radio [2016-11-30 19:28:01,276] chirp.ui.clone - DEBUG: Clone thread ended [2016-11-30 19:28:01,276] chirp.ui.reporting - DEBUG: Reporting model usage: Baofeng_BF-888,download,True [2016-11-30 19:28:01,276] chirp.ui.reporting - DEBUG: Reporting exception [2016-11-30 19:28:01,276] chirp.ui.inputdialog - ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: No response from radio --- [2016-11-30 19:28:01,276] chirp.ui.inputdialog - ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "chirpw", line 67, in <module> AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split' Would be appreciated if I could get some assistance.

Greetings, Just bought one of these units (Zastone MP300) and tried to program it with CHIRP without success. When I attempt to download from the radio I get a message 'Receiver did not respond' or sometimes using one of the other suggested radio models from the dropdown menu it say's: 'Radio did not go into clone mode' These responses are from various versions of CHIRP....older or latest I am using Windows XP PRO. Any suggestions? Thanks Eric VE7ECJ

[chirp_users] HT Recommendations
by Dave Hartman 30 Nov '16

30 Nov '16

A recent addition to our radio club is looking for something to get him on the local repeaters. Woxun and Baofeng come to my mind as good starter radios that don't cost much and work reasonably well. Which HTs would you recommend based on ease of programming, with Chirp of course, reliability, and low cost? Thanks! -- Dave AC2GL -- Dave AC2GL

Greetings, Is there anyway of locking (ie P.W. protecting) a radio's that I have programmed with CHIRP so that no one other than me, can alter the settings even if they use a PC and CHIRP? The radios thatI am interested in locking are Baofeng UV 5....GT3....TYT....etc Thanks Eric VE7ECJ

[chirp_users] Trouble with programming ICOM IC-2200H
by Kamikaze Joe 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Was hoping I could find some help getting my IC-2200H programmed. I've tried downloading from the radio using a generic brand cable I bought off Amazon. The procedures I've tried: Example 1: 1) Put my Icom in cloning mode. 2) Select "Download from Radio" from the Radio menu in the Chirp application. 3) Verified the Port. Selected "Icom" as the vendor. And "IC-2200H" as the Model. 4) Click "OK" Result: Before I can even hit the button on my Icom that starts sending the data, Chirp briefly flashes the "Cloning" progress bar and then throws an error of "Unexpected response from Radio". Example 2: If I repeat the above steps, but instead select "Detect" as the Model, I immediately get an error saying it can't detect the radio. I didn't expect it to work, but I wanted to rule it out. Example 3: 1) Put my Icom in cloning mode. 2) Select "Download from Radio" from the Radio menu in the Chirp application. 3) Again Verified the Port, Vendor, and Model as stated above. 4) Before clicking "OK", I pressed the button on my Icom to start sending data. 5) Then I clicked "OK" in the Chirp application. Result: I tried this pressing the start button on the Icom before clicking "OK" in Chirp, and I've tried pressing them simultaneously. This method returns an error saying "Out of sync with radio". I've search through the archive and see the same errors I'm seeing, but on posts that are several years old. The responses usually recommend checking for a driver issue, but I've done that. The cable itself seems to be functional to some degree, at least to me. I wouldn't get the "Out of sync with radio" error if the application didn't receive anything at all, right? While I don't have another device to test this particular cable with, I do have another cable that I use to program my Baofeng UV-82 with. The alternate cable uses the same chip (PL2303) and therefor the same driver/module, and that works just fine. I am able to download and program my Baofeng without any issues. So to the best of my troubleshooting abilities, the cable doesn't seem likely. Additionally, the previous posts also reference Windows machines, but I am running Linux and I do not have a Windows computer at my disposal. I am also using the chirp-daily package on my system and made sure it was updated. Currently on "CHIRP daily-20161123" at the time of this writing. Any further suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance -Joe

[chirp_users] Anyone program a Kenwood TK-862? Non G
by Ronny Julian 25 Nov '16

25 Nov '16

Hello all I have a 2 channel TK-863 mobile. I have the USB cable that should work with it. It comes up fine as a COM 5 but everytime I try to read the radio it errors out on CHIRP. It does change the radio display to light up both channel indicators when it starts to read. I'm guessing this is an indication it is trying to read. Does anyone have an idea on this or maybe have a file I could write into it first? Thanks! Ronny K4RJJ

[chirp_users] Baofeng 888s cable issue
by Ronny Julian 22 Nov '16

I have a couple of 888s UHF radios and the cable I have for them is coming up on COM 3 Problem is the radio goes into transmit when connected to the cable and turned on. The cable has worked on my UV-5R radios before but now also puts them into transmit. The only thing that has changed is i have gone to a laptop (Windows 10) to a desktop machine (Also Windows 10). Any ideas? Thanks! Ronny K4RJJ

Re: [chirp_users] LYT Q-18 Radio
by Kenneth Strom VA3KRS 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

Regarding the LYT Q-18 Radio, check inside the Radio and on the Battery for where it was manufactured (probably China) and it should say which Company made it (it will not be LYT, that is just a Brand name), then research that Company on the Internet. If you find the Company email their Customer Service all the details including Serial # and Photos of it. More than likely it was made under contract and re-labelled for a Customer. This happened to me once and some Korean Company contracted 1,000s of HTs and re-labelled them. Not the original Model # at all. A little bit of Detective work for you. And they even found the original programming software for me too.

Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng D901 DMR HT
by Kenneth Strom VA3KRS 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

Does anyone have the Factory Original Flash memory File for the Wouxun D901 DMR HT? My friends HT is still locked up. I cannot emphasize more to when buying any radio to reset it, save that File labelled Factory Original Settings, and work then using that File after saving it. He did not (along with many others). Interesting comments on the Baofeng BF 888s 16-Channel UHF HTs. I owned one briefly, did not have a programming issue with it using their Factory software. Also I used the RT Systems USB-K4Y Cable which works flawlessly. Those Generic Fake Prolific Cables seem to be hit or miss. You must make sure Windows does not automatically search its Database for the real Prolific Chip Driver. So have your supplied CD disk handy and install it ONLY. Also, be careful Windows during its daily Windows Update does not automatically reinstall the real Prolific driver while you are not looking. Happened to me once, very annoying.

I'm even suspect of the Baofeng cables. Garth. zl1tue ..... an still shakin' About 4 years ago I downloaded every version of Prolific driver for Windows I could find. I installed them one by one from the most recent to the oldest to find out exactly which driver was the absolute latest that would work with a counterfeit Prolific chip. The answer was v3.3.2.105. But although this driver works great with CHIRP, it is incompatible with most programming software written for Chinese radios. So my testing continued. It wasn't until I got to the Prolific v3.2.0.0 driver that it would work with all of my programming software. And it works with the latest Prolific chips as well. As you can see from the attached screen capture, I have 4 Prolific drivers installed in my Windows 7 64-bit computer. I can switch between these driver versions at will to determine if a Prolific type chip is genuine. So if you have a programming cable with a Prolfic type chip, there is no need to test if it is genuine or not. Genuine Prolific chips are rare. Out of some 20+ Prolific type chip based cables that I have here, I only have 2 that know are genuine. One came from a now out of business dealer. The description stated that it contained a genuine Prolfic chip. It cost $10 more than the non-genuine version that they also sold. The second came with (but was purchased separately) a Wouxun KG-UV6D V2 radio that I purchased from a USA dealer. So if you run Windows XP or above, the non-destructive test to determine if the Prolific type chip in your programming cable is genuine is pretty simple. Plug it into the USB port and wait for the latest Prolific driver to install. Then try it out. then if it works (not likely) it has a genuine Prolific chip. If it doesn't work (very likely) it has a counterfeit chip. But if you already have the programming cable, it is too late to worry about which type of Prolific chip is in it (genuine or counterfeit). Just download, install and select the older Prolific driver (it works for both). v2.0.2.1 Windows XP v3.2.0.0 Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 If the idea is to avoid the hassle of dealing with counterfeit Prolific type chips, then note the following. A genuine Baofeng (the radio manufacturer based in China) programming cable is virtually guaranteed to have a counterfeit Prolific chip. If the listing states that the programming cable only works with older versions of Windows or states that it does not work with the latest versions of Windows, it is a good bet that is will have a counterfeit Prolific chip. The same goes for listings where there is no mention of the chip the programming cable contains. So the best thing to do to avoid the driver hassle is to look for a cable with an FTDI type chip. Even FTDI chips can be counterfeit, but even the counterfeit chips currently work with the latest available device drivers. Although I mostly use Prolific type chips here, I do have some with genuine FTDI chips. My source for the last few has been Baofeng Tech (the radio dealer based in the USA).

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-20161120 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #451 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Merge an accidental branch #0 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [NC-630A] Driver Cleanup The main purpose of this patch is a general cleanup of the kyd.py driver. Some things were tweaked to more closely match how the "factory" software behaves during the cloning process. Also, code was also added to be more selective in detecting KYD NC-630A images. Except for adding an alias for the Plant-Tours MT-700, this patch does not add any new features and does not make any changes that will be apparent to the CHIRP user. Related to #4235 [Michael Wagner <michael.wagner(a)gmx.at>] [btech] Adding 2-Tone settings. Last part of #4051 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add support for Jetstream JT270MH Thanks to Jetstream for donating a radio! Fixes #4219

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-20161116 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #449 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add test image for Alinco DJ-G7 Related to #699 [Mathias Weyland <lt-betrieb(a)hb9uf.ch>] Add support for Alinco DJ-G7EG. Partially addresses #699 This patch adds basic support for the DJ-G7EG. The patch was tested on Linux and Windows 7 and can reliably download memories from, and upload memories to the radio. Other flavours of the DJ-G7 are not supported yet because I don't know whether they use the same memory map or not. The patch introduces a new class to the alinco.py driver. This is some- what unfortunate because the radios supported by alinco.py so far are all quite similar. The DJ-G7EG is considerably more different from the others, yet still sufficiently similar to re-use some of the methods implemented in AlincoStyleRadio. I'll leave it up to the reviewers to comment on that. Code that might be of particular interest to reviewers is marked with "FIXME" comments. The patch does not support changing bank assignments, groups, and/or radio settings. I am planning to add dynamic bank assignements as soon as I have figured out how to do this best with Chirp.

[chirp_users] New vv-898s
by James Flanders 13 Nov '16

13 Nov '16

Last month I bought a Liexen vv-898s. It has taken me a good while to figure out how to use the software that came with it. I can work repeaters, however I have to set the squelch at zero in order to receive. Even with a 7db antenna at 30 at the base. The version I have is 1.05. I understand that the chirp software at the moment does not work with this version. What can I do? This TXCVR fits perfectly in my 2016 Nissan Frontier. I really want to keep it.

[chirp_users] importing rows from a previous database
by Glenn 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hi, Initially, I had a friend load in my Baofeng UV5R from his database, with some other program, not Chirp. That worked fine, and then I started using Chirp on my Ubuntu, and with great accessibility, I subscribed to Radio Reference and downloaded some local stuff into my database, and all was good. Then I noticed that I lost all my weather radio stations, they were in the 80s. I can go back to an old Chirp database and find them there, but I am wondering if there is a way to import selected rows from the old database and moving them into the new one, over-writing the ones in the new database, in the same row numbers. I would like to learn to do this without re-writing them by hand. Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] retevis rt-5rv
by Tom Simonson 08 Nov '16

08 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)
