[chirp_users] Inexpensive Dual Band Radios
by rdhutch＠pacbell.net 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

I have a Leixen 898, and It seems to have a not very selective receive front end. I used it as an in-home local repeater monitor and I received some out of band land mobile radio stations, including a busy local ambulance service, while tuned to my local ham repeaters. I replaced the Leixen with the 25W KT-8900 and the problem went away. Granted I live in an RF rich environment (Southern, CA area(), but for this reason, I advocate purchasing one of the KT-8900 variants for under $100 on Amazon. it's approximately the same size, seems better built, is equally portable, and less susceptible to interference. Just my observations, 73 de Ray, AE6H

[chirp_users] Data changes from "Upload" to "Download"
by Rick, KE0HCN 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Wonder why the data I upload to my radio is changed when it downloads. Specially: When I upload the tone of 100 MHz, when downloaded from the radio, the 100 MHZ is changes to 88.5 MHz. Also the Tone Mode changes from Tone to TSQL? Why is that? Radio: Baofeng F8HP CHIRP: CHIRP daily-20160110 -- Rick Dunagan KE0HCN

Thanks for the advice. I removed the existing installation of chirp-daily using the Synaptic Package Manager (despite the fact that it was reporting the installed version as the latest 20160116~wily~1). I then searched for any files on the computer that had a name including chirp using the Files app and deleted them using terminal and sudo rm (-r) in the folder where they were found. (Some seemed to belong to previous installations of chirp.) I then did a fresh installation of chirp-daily listed under Amateur Radio in the Synaptic Package Manager. Chirp-daily now reports the correct (and latest) version in its About window. It remains to be seen what happens when the Software Updater offers the next version. (I have the chirp-snapshots ppa listed in Other Software in the Software & Updates panel.) Hopefully it will now report the version installed.

[chirp_users] FT7900r programmer
by Jon GrosJean 23 Jan '16

23 Jan '16

I am going to make a FT7900r programmer using an FTDI-1232 board which can be set for 3.3V or 5V logic level. The FT7900r uses 5V logic. There is an internal 4.7k pull up resistor on the PTT line, so an external pull-up is not needed. My question is about the data polarity. The DL8WA board inverts the RS-232 data on both receive and transmit. Maybe the person writing the program wrote it to work this way. Should I invert the outputs of the FTDI board when used with CHIRP? If not, a simple diode could be used on the TX data output to pull down the PTT input. If everything should be inverted, then a couple of transistors could be used. I will make my circuit available when finished.

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R won't program

Sir, I recently purchased two of these radios, but am having trouble programming them using the purchased cable that interfaces with the radio and ends in a USB cable. I have tried with both a Windows 10 and a Windows 7 Home pc. I checked the firmware version and saw that it read: BFB297 I check the devices in Windows 10 and it shows com3 or com4, depending on the USB port and it looks good. I click on new and then click on the radio tab and put in com1 or com2 or com3 or com4 and always get an error (vendor is Baofeng and UV-5R). Thanks for any help you can give. Don in sunny Florida

[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV3D CHIRP support and a question on the memory chip replacement
by Robert Morningstar 16 Jan '16

16 Jan '16

Hi, I am a bit confused about CHIRP support for this radio. It is listed on the home page, but the software does not present this model in the dropdown list when I attempt to download from it and I do not see it in the model_supported.html file on the download page. Can someone clarify this for me? I need to write a new img to my radio I think. I was successful in replacing the nvram chip (I had the infamous Wouxun radio losing it settings and memory issue) by following the process listed at http://tim-yvonne.com/ham/wouxun-memory/index.htm but the radio reverted to some other band than what I purchased it for (this problem also documented at the site listed above) after I completed the memory replacement procedure. I'm stuck, I fixed the memory issue and tested it by manually programming two channels and those settings were retained after removing the battery and reinstalling it. But now I am getting the Channel Freq Out of Range issue for channels that previously worked just fine before the chip transplant. Any thoughts on this issue?

[chirp_users] Receive noise while moving
by Tom Consodine ND5Y 12 Jan '16

I found two YouTube videos that show JT-6188 and UV-5R noise while moving. It doesn't appear to be the same thing happening on both radios as I thought it might be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBwk0M79DYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl40YU3Jsc4 Tom

[chirp_users] IC-92AD not downloading all memories.
by Wenlock Burton 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Hi, Just tried the latest build, still not reading all memories, Like to loan my 92AD to get the code fixed but international postage would be a big issue. i found my old bug report from a couple of years ago when I was using the Windows build to transfer the memories from my 91AD to my new 92AD and it did work with both radios the only issue being the wrong code identifying the 92AD in the file. Curious as to what went wrong since then. Wenlock VK3YWB

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-20160110 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #378 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add test images for #3119 [<Joseph.P.Scanlan(a)n7xsd.us>] [IC-7000] Minor LOG.debug changes fixes #3149 Swapped source and destination addresses in one debug statement to reflect the direction of the arrow; added extd_number to another LOG.debug; and added a third LOG.debug. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <co7wt(a)frcuba.co.cu>] [New Model] Support for the Kenwood TK-76x/86x non G models, fixes issue #3139 This patch add support for the Kenwood Mobile part of the old "Serie/Family 60", including this radios. VHF: TK-760/762, all versions, including H models UHF: TK-860/862, all versions, including H models Only basic common ham settings support by now. [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] [IC-W32E] support for E version of IC-W32 The only real difference from IC-W32A is _model id but to distinguish the images an extra byte at the end is added implement #280 [<Joseph.P.Scanlan(a)n7xsd.us>] [IC-7000] Fix Show Raw Memory #3127 Method “get_raw_memory” was overlooked when bank support was added to the IC-7000 (an Icom CI-V radio). This patch corrects that oversight. [<Joseph.P.Scanlan(a)n7xsd.us>] [IC-7000] Add Split Duplex fixes #3101 Independent receive and transmit frequencies can be set for each IC-7000 memory channel. This is enabled when Duplex is set to split. The transmit frequency is entered in the Offset field. This patch exposes the Offset field for all memories. Offset changes to memories with plus, minus, or no split are silently ignored; the IC-7000 does not support per channel offset. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <co7wt(a)frcuba.co.cu>] [TK-760G] New Model, support the VHF part of the Kenwood 60G family, fix #2999 This patch is the support to the VHF part of the Kenwood 60G family, and must be appplied after the patch for the issue #3119 [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <co7wt(a)frcuba.co.cu>] [run_tests] support for bank models with channels always tied to a bank, fix #3119 The run_test script has no support for bank models in which a channel must allways be tied to a bank. I found this in the development of a new driver in issue 2999, that driver is ready but can't go to the daily build until this is fixed. This patch fix this, all you have to do is add a variable named channelAlwaysHasBank to your model class and make it True. Cheers, Pavel. [Tyler Tidman <tyler.tidman(a)draak.ca>] Fix minor typo in TS-2000 CW-R mode. Fixes #3103. [Tyler Tidman <tyler.tidman(a)draak.ca>] Improve pep8 compliance in TS-2000 driver. Fixes #3093. [Tyler Tidman <tyler.tidman(a)draak.ca>] Correct headers and number of trailing commas in stock configs. Fixes #3089. [Tyler Tidman <tyler.tidman(a)draak.ca>] Add DE Freenet and UK Business Radio Simple Light stock configs. Fixes #2755.

I am still having trouble downloading from my brand new radio I got. It says "Radio did not respond" when I try to download the base so I can add my frequencies into the radio. Please help. I downloaded the new version of Chirp. Did I not need to do so... If not can I get an older version of it. When my radio actually worked. Please help. Thanks Sincerely, Matthew Wachala
