Hi, Just some odd behaviour when installing the Windows version in Wine in Ubuntu 14.04 On opening the installer with Wine a dialog opens advising a serious error has occurred and the software needs to close. However, the installer continues to run in installs Chirp. This is the error: The same thing occurs when opening Chirp with Wine and Chirps runs despite the "serious error. Any ideas? Wenlock VK3YWB

I have several other options for programming ID-51s however it would be convenient if I could set up their non-DStar Freqs in somewhat similar arrangements to the many Baoefengs that are popping up like … well you know what, to facilitate CommT support for local ARES/RACES units. Goal is to create libraries of .csv files for various types of local & regional support/event/agency combinations and efficiently have identical Channel names or #s to expedite implementation of IACs in the field. If anyone knows what would also work as an actual radio to radio ‘cloning’ cable for the ID-51s I’m interested in that too. Ditto this for Baofengs in the UV-82/UV-82HP series.

[chirp_users] Problem configured Sainsonic APR510 APRS with latest daily chirp
by Tim Miranda 13 Dec '15

13 Dec '15

Hi - I apologize if this has been asked and answered. I got my Sainsonic APR510 APRS device up and running today using the manufacturer's config software on my win7 laptop, but I heard that daily-20151212 version of CHIRP had support for changing the "settings" of this device, and since I love CHIRP, I thought I'd try. Unfortunately, no matter what combination of power-on/power-off/disconnect/connect, I couldn't get it to succeed when doing a Radio->Download from Radio. My com port is COM4, and I know that works with the manufacturer's web site, but when I try to Download From Radio with CHIRP, it appears to start the download, make it almost all the way through (according to the progress bar), but then a popup shows "An error has occured: '00'" and it fails to download. [image: Inline image 2] Any ideas? Tim

Thanks Jim, It now reads the radios memories without errors and Band A stops at 799 however, there are a couple of minor issues. 1) In Banks(Band A) tab it still reads 0 to 849, no errors but I would expect errors if i tried to upload the file to the radio. 2) The status bar continues to display "[0] Getting Bank information for memory 399". Incidentally, I installed the latest daily of the windows version in Unbuntu but find it still reads all the way to 849. no error messages, but hasn't read Banks(Band B), Bank Names(Band B) or D-STAR Thanks Wenlock VK3YWB

Using the latest build of CHIRP, I had a problem saving the system image of my new BF-F8HP. CHIRP returned the “incorrect model selected” error when I chose BF-F8HP, so I tried UV5R and was able to upload the system image. I wrote back to the radio using this file and it is causing problems. I am looking for a uncorrupted system image for my firmware. These are the returns I am getting from the radio now: Power+3= BFB297 Power+6= 141006N CHIRP-Other Settings= HN5RV01 Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve P

You did yourself the problem. CHIRP uses radio model numbers for a reason. You most likely will have to remove everything and start over.

I wrote most of the FT-2900 driver, and I'll maintain it as needed. It has been pretty stable for quite some time now, and I've had good reports from people who have used it, so I'm confident it's basically working, but there's probably room for improvement. Thanks, David, for the suggestion about the lock button. I haven't tried that, and I'm away from my radio right now, but there may be something I can do to the driver to make it at least give a better error message when that situation is encountered. Al: If you can download from the radio, then your cable is almost certainly working. Downloading requires communications in both directions. There's a remote chance that the cable length, impedance, or some other analog characteristic is such that it's producing intermittent problems, but I doubt it. If it's not the lock issue which David suggested, then contact me off list, and send me the file you're trying to upload.

[chirp_users] Adding CHIRP to chocolatey package manager
by Philip Arola 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Hello everyone, I use chirp on my Baofeng UV-5R, and noticed that there is no entry in the Chocolatey repository for Chirp. Chocolatey, for those who don’t know, is a package manager for Windows. It is third-party, so it is fully free and open source. If you want to look at it yourself it is at https://chocolatey.org// I was wondering if there would be any opposition to the addition of Chirp to the repository. I would be able to add it myself, and am willing to maintain the repository entry. --Philip Arola --KG7VAM --philiparola(a)hotmail.com Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Hello, I just joined this list and I am pulling out my hair trying to figure out why CHiRP won't upload to my new Yaesu FT-2900r. I am on my third cable. It is a Valley Enterprises FTDI cable using the proper driver software. I can download after following the procedure to hold the A/N Low button in while powering on the radio then reading from radio. I have great success with using CHiRP with all my other radios, but the FT-2900r cannot be written to. Please, any thoughts. I tried looking at a CHiRP forum, but something was wrong with my account.

I'm new to this list and want to thank you for creating CHIRP and for licensing it under the GPL. A "thank you" is also due to all who wrote the Kenwood TS-2000 support. CHIRP has replaced Mac Memories Manager for use with my TS-2000. I am hoping to put some time into [attempting] to create modules for a Yaesu VR-5000 and an Icom IC-PCR1500. These are just personal itches and I'm not going to ask someone else to do the work :) Thank you, again. Respectfully, Ron Cook n1zhi

Can anyone help? I keep getting a “Clone Error” message on my HT’s screen about three quarters of the way through the upload to the radio. I won’t list everything I’ve done because I have no issues uploading to my FT-8900R. The cable I am using is made by Valley Industries, as is my other radio’s cable. The driver has been downloaded for MacOSX, the Python software is installed, and the radio’s battery is fully charged. I’ve additionally gone through the settings of each column to verify that there isn’t a memory that has an unacceptable input, such as an out-of-range Tune Step. I’m confused presently. -AJ

[chirp_users] TYT programing software
by Rick Hanzlik 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

I just purchased a TYT ThUV3R with the idea of using it for 220. It seems that the only way to activate the 220MHZ functions is to program it using the manufactures software. I down loaded verion 3.2.0.0 of the prolific driver and the manufactures software but when I try to access the radio, I will see the RW--COM displayed on the radio and I get a message the tells me to check the cables. However, I can program the radio using the latest daily CHIRP software without any problem, but it will not program the 220MHZ range. I realize this is the chirp group but I'm hoping someone can give me a suggestion as to how to make this all work. Rick Hanzlik N7NGK Sandy, Ut

But I noticed with some hacks that the mentioned radios (FD-160A, FD-450A, FD-460A) have a very high chance of being supported with just cosmetics changes to the driver. If you have one of this radios and want chirp's support for it, please contact me for instructions on how to help me on this. Thanks in advance, CO7WT.

[chirp_users] IC-92AD Download - too many memories
by Wenlock Burton 25 Nov '15

25 Nov '15

Still trying to figure out what's going wrong here, double checked the A band has 800 memories (0-799) and Chirp (running in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) is reading 0-849 then has a problem retrieving name data for memory 849. This prevents it downloading the memory names and D-Star settings. Windows version running in Wine is reading 0-799 for the A band and retrieves all data OK. Thanks Wenlock VK3YWB

[chirp_users] Software version discrepancy
by Gary Runningbear 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

I just received my second uv-82 L today and in the process of trying to copy the image of the first radio into the new radio resulted in a error message stating that the software version of the image did not match the software version of the radio and would not load the image. Is there a way to bypass this is I am NOT looking forward to handloading 56 channels worth of information into the new radio by hand.

I have just discovered that my new uv-82 L has a different firmware version then my first radio. Is there a way that I can update the first one to be the same as the second?

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

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-20151119 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #369 [Jens Jensen <af5mi(a)yahoo.com>] [TYT-9800] fix tone squelch (CTCSS Decode) not working #3007 As described in #3007, when channel tone mode set to TSQL (CTCSS Encode & Decode) or DTCS (DCS), the squelch is being opened for any carrier, not just ones with specified tone. Appears there is additional field in channel memory which specifies squelch mode, carrier or tone, which also needs to be explicitly set by Chirp whenever using TSQL or DTCS tone modes, as this is the intended behavior of these modes.

[chirp_users] Problem updating CSV file to upload to radio
by Philip Wise 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Hi: Radio: Baofeng F8HP and UV-5RV2+Computer: Dell, Win XP Professional I am able to clone both radios and make changes to the radio download and update if I manually change the data When I was trying upload a CSV file to the radio I got an error - shown in the attached file I developed the csv file from outputting a csv file from the RepeaterBook website. I was able to open it with MS Excel 2000 w/sp3 (also I was able to open a csv file from Chirp from my radio download. Trying to import the csv file from the Repeaterbook directly into Chirp, gave me the error I then used the scv file from my radio download and modified it with the data from the repeaterbook file by copying and pasting my new data from Repeaterbook csv file into the radio downloaded csv file. I saved this new combined data file with the same columns as shown in my radio downloaded csv file but when I tried to import to the Chirp program, I got the same error. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I know I have old programs and operating system but I have been able to run Chirp successfully for all things except this.

[chirp_users] Can't upload images that use memory groups
by dave＠661.org 17 Nov '15

17 Nov '15

I've tracked down my recent problems with uploading images to my Yaesu radios to memory groups. Apparently if I assign channels to more than one memory group, the upload will fail. This happens with the latest from the mercurial repo and with at least the FT-8800 and VX-7R radios. -- David Griffith dave(a)661.org A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.

[chirp_users] FTM-350AR - Chirp
by chirp＠son4r.com 15 Nov '15

15 Nov '15

I'm wondering if anyone else has had issues using Chirp with a Yaesu FTM-350AR radio. I haven't been able to get chirp to download the radio config. I am using a FTDI cable and windows 10. I was not able to find FIFO settings to disable. Apparently this release of the driver doesn't have the ability to easily disable FIFO? I've tried two cables, running chirp in admin mode. Passing the usb cable to windows 7 VM didn't work either. Same cable was used to upgrade the firmware to 1.6 on the radio. Seems to have worked fine. Radio is in programming mode. Head disconncted from the body. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Just doesn't connect. RADIO: Yaesu FTM-350AR Cable: Startech ICUSB2321F Alt Cable: Tripp-Lite Keyspan USA-19HS Any help would be appreciated. Michael

To James KC1ECV, You were right my friend about turning duplex to off to kill the transmit. I guess that particular radio can't be affected by that so now I guess you'll have to set a switch in your own mind do not grab the mic while monitoring those PS channels. Sorry to have misled you but that was a learning point for me and it won't happen again. hi hi

[chirp_users] Tyt Th-9000d import csv turn off TX
by James Jalbert 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

I just got my hands on a th 900d 144 radio. I have hooked it up and programed it with local repeaters and frequencies no problem. Now what I am trying to do is import some local public service frequencies, but have the transmit turned off on these channels. I have done this with CHIRP on a baofeng handheld using the option of off in duplex, but that does not work with the th 9000d. Does anyone know of a way in the csv to disable transmit on certain channels for the th 9000d? Thanks for you help James Jalbert KC1ECV

[chirp_users] Trying to read 849 memories?
by Wenlock Burton 12 Nov '15

12 Nov '15

HI, After more playing around with it I don't understand why Chirp is trying to read 849 memories for Band A. Band A only has 799 memories. I entered memory range 0 to 799 and clicked Refresh, it read 799 memories, but on clicking Banks (Band A) it tried to retrieve bank information for memory 749. So the range doesn't apply to the Banks tabs and Chirp reports errors and wont read any more from the radio until I close and open again. At least it's talking to the radio but doesn't seem to know how many locations to read. Thanks Wenlock
