[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV950P?
by Roger Stenning 07 Jan '16

07 Jan '16

Hi. I note that the Wouxun KG-UV950P still isn't on the list, despite it being out for a while, now; given that the TYT equivalent, the TH-9800 is already provided for in daily builds, what's the current state of play regarding CHIRP and the Wouxun KG-UV950P? Thanks in advance, 73, Roger de G1LIW

[chirp_users] Anyone with Baofeng BF-UVB2 Plus?
by Darkman900＠libero.it 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

Hi everybody! I'd like to know if anybody here is using Chirp with the last Baofeng (or so it seems to be) the BF-UVB2 Plus. Although it doesn't show in the list, I have tried all the radios present but haven't been able to make Chirp working with it. Any advice will be very appreciated. Thanks and Happy new Radio-Year! :) Jack

I'm using the 3.2.0.0 version and all I have is "Radio did not ack programming mode" Using the UV-B5 Profile in "download from radio" mode. ----Messaggio originale---- Da: kd9ebr(a)gmail.com Data: 05/01/2016 16.33 A: "Darkman900(a)libero.it"<Darkman900(a)libero.it>, "Discussion of CHIRP"<chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Ogg: Re: [chirp_users] Anyone with Baofeng BF-UVB2 Plus? First thing, check your USB to serial adapter, if it's a prolific clone it needs to be driver version 3.2.02 I believe. Anything newer doesn't talk to the radio. After that, make sure you upload from the radio to your computer, that will be your base file that you will modify. Look at the chirp faq page for more info, they also have the working driver for the USB cable. -----Original Message----- From: Darkman900--- via chirp_users <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Sent: Tue, 05 Jan 2016 9:29 Subject: [chirp_users] Anyone with Baofeng BF-UVB2 Plus?

[chirp_users] - character no supporting in Name field anymore?
by Nick Ellson 03 Jan '16

03 Jan '16

Just imported my Kenwood D72A radio to make some mods after downloading the CHIRP daily-20151225 build, chirp shows all my previously added channels with the - character in them, but if I touch any of them it coughs errors says the - is not a supported character? Is that a change based on model? My Radio supports it and it makes the display of multiple repeater channels nice to visually separate. W7AIA-1 W7AIA-2 (etc) N7CKY Nick

[chirp_users] Cable for use w/CHIRP and iCOM ID-51A
by Daniel Sohn 19 Dec '15

19 Dec '15

Greetings: Can anyone point me at the correct cable to buy, build or modify so that I can ** using OS X 10.11** (happens to be .2 now) program iCom ID-51A HTs with CHIRP? I’ve searched some and tried the RT Systems generic Apple FDLI update to no effect wrt to using the RT System cable w/OS X. 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. Many Thanks 73 & pax …dan WL7COO

[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 do not know what I did - or what happened, but it is now working! It could have been the lock button or something else, but probably my error. Thank you all. Al KI6JXB

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. I'll take a look and see what I can discover. --Rich, AG6QR ag6qr(a)sonic.net > > Al, I don't know if this is your problem or not but it is something to > check.

[chirp_users] Adding CHIRP to chocolatey package manager
by Philip Arola 09 Dec '15

09 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

[chirp_users] FT-2900r won't upload
by Al Cohan 09 Dec '15

09 Dec '15

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. Thank You, Al

[chirp_users] Thank you
by rcook 09 Dec '15

09 Dec '15

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

[chirp_users] Distorted Chirp interface on OS X 10.11 "El Capitan"
by Thomas White 07 Dec '15

07 Dec '15

I'm having installation problems on Mac 10.11. I've installed the python runtime and have the chirp-daily-20151201 build. I managed to the the proper cable drivers for my Wouxun KG-UV6Dv2. The problem is that the user interface of the Chirp window is not drawing correctly. The buttons and controls are ver oversized and the window is structured in a way that makes it unusable.

[chirp_users] Yaesu VX-5r Uploading Issue
by AJ Pulley 05 Dec '15

05 Dec '15

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

by Ross Young 04 Dec '15

04 Dec '15

Hi Guys, There has a been a long standing issue which should be an easy fix. That is importing the stock freqs on a mac NOAA Weather Alert.csv US Calling Frequencies.csv US FRS and GMRS Channels.csv US MURS Channels.csv http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/2259 I know the current work around is to go to the following site and do a copy paste job, but I was hoping to have it just added into the menu like you do for linux. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/repository/show/stock_configs Please help with this issue as it really would be helpful for lots of Hams who run a Mac. Thank you, Ross Young KM4HIL

i once had a vx7-r and would get clone errors.yeasu's are kinda hard to program.with my vx7-r there was a key on the key pad that had to be pushed just before you pushed the enter key on your computer to get your radio programmed. i do not remember which key on the radio needs to be pushed before programming the radio Leonard
