[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

In WV 82 in menu 17 referring to the S code . it can be set to numbers 1 through 15 groups. The manual says this can only be set in chirp but when I looked there I could find nothing labeled s code.

[chirp_users] Feidaxin radios support on sight
by M.Sc. Pavel Milanes Costa 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

Hi to all, There is anyone in the list with any of this Feidaxin radios? FD-160A FD-450A FD-460A Or just can borrow one for a couple of hours? I just submitted a patch to the developer list with support for the FD-268A/B and FD-288A/B that is waiting for review and approval. 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.

[chirp_users] Problem updating CSV file to upload to radio
by Philip Wise 18 Nov '15

18 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] 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

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.

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.

[chirp_users] Trying to read 849 memories?
by Wenlock Burton 11 Nov '15

11 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

Hello group! I got a UV-B5 and I don't have any problem down loading radio to computer and then uploading program to the UV-B5. But this is what happens, if I have a repeater that has a "-" on the offset, the radio will take it and after you use it one time, the radio will by itself change all the "-" to "+" on every repeater that is in the radio. Is there any help for the radio or just use it for all the repeaters that have a "+" for the offset? Lamar KT4DLB

[chirp_users] inexpensive Dual Band Mobile radios?
by bill＠riess.us 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

As Shon, K2QT mentioned I agree that the Baofeng UV-82 series is a good choice at a low cost. They have a good build quality and have a higher duty cycle than the UV5R series. (My UV5RV2+ failed during a long rag chewing session, the UV-82 has done fine with similar sessions.) For about $15-$20 more, the UV-82HP has higher power. 7 watts as opposed to 5. For a dual band mobile, the Anytone AT-5888UV has 50 VHF and 40 UHF Watts and provides dual watch and some other features, but is ~$290.00. There are others in that price range, but the above is the only one I have experienced. The low cost radios are lower wattage (which may not matter depending on expected use), I don't know anyone that has one - so cannot comment on the quality. As you mention, if you move away from dual band, Yaesu, Kenwood, etc. can be had for <$175. Hard choices, good luck :) 73 Bill Riess Bill(a)BillRiess.com <mailto:Bill@BillRiess.com> Or Bill(a)Riess.us <mailto:Bill@Riess.us> P: +1 847 394 5312 C: +1 847 917 8479 Callsign: KW9WR

[chirp_users] UV-5R Woes
by Lamar Brown 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

I have tried to program the UV-5R with Chirp and finally find out that I had to use a different model number to be able to even get the radio to upload to computer. I have added all my channels to the radio and downloaded to radio thinking that everything is fix. I can key the HT and it don't key the repeater. If I have it on channel mode, it shows both +- above the frequency display. It will drop the frequency down 0.600 like it suppose to. Ok if I have it on frequency mode , it shows - and drops down the 0.600 as its suppose to. Still don't key the repeater. I have a Baofeng UV-3 and it keys the repeater, I have a Yaesu FT-250 and it keys the repeater. I'm at my wits end on trying to get this HT program. If someone can please tell me what to do I will really appreciate it. Danny KT4DLB

by Richard Hanna 08 Nov '15

08 Nov '15

Happy to report the problem is resolved thanks to the help from Jim KC9HI. Simply some "Keyboard Turbulence"! I was not hitting enter after changing the Split to "Off". Anyway, thanks to Jim, and to the group. What a great pie of software! Dick, K3VYY

[chirp_users] No VFO mode in VX-2r
by Michal Smialowski 08 Nov '15

08 Nov '15

I recently started using CHIRP to program my VX-2R. All went fine, have uploaded to the radio, but now the radio is stuck in Memory mode ( lock is off) and also can't get into SET mode. I have checked all the settings but can't figure out why it is doing this. I did a total reset and the VFO mode came back, so I uploaded the frequencies again with CHIRP and now can't get back into VFO mode. Any help would be much appreciated. Mike VE7SML

A friend who has an older .img that works on his radio gave me t file to try. His works and shuts off transmit. I get this error message when I try to load his image Must be a newer version of firmware. Other than that the CHIRP software handles the radio fine. Dick, K3VYY

In the UV 82L, when adding frequencies that have four to five digits to the right of the decimal point how do you get the last one or two digits in there?

The Yaesu FT-8800R is listed in Chirp supported radios. However it is not available in the Mac version of Chirp: chirp-daily-20151023.app.zip <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-daily-20151023.app…> There is no later daily build of Chirp for Mac. Can I use the Yaesu FT-8800 listing in Chirp for the FT-8800R? 73, Guy Immega VA7GI

[chirp_users] Help with Chirp and Alinco DR 235
by Deane Bouvier 05 Nov '15

05 Nov '15

I have good communications between the computer and the radio. It reads and writes successfully, except ... I get an error message on write even though the radios says "PASS". The error message is " An error has occurred. Failed to communicate with radio. 'Serial' object has not attribute 'read'." I did a full reset, downloaded and installed the latest Chirp version and it still says the same thing. I am running Windows 7. The other strange thing the radio does now is that it shows empty channels with the VFO contents and the 'M' blinking when in the memory mode. That hasn't happened before. There is nothing in the menu settings related to this and I cannot find anything regarding this new feature in the manual. Any help would be appreciated. N5DQ

[chirp_users] how baofeng programm used ? (IW2GJV)
by Richy Brown 05 Nov '15

05 Nov '15

as others have said chirp is much better..... however if you still wish to use the baofeng "VIP" software a couple of things you will need to know are 1) it is 2 languages (english and chineese) and usually defaults to chineese so all menus are "??" the 2nd menu *from the right* is the language selector. 2) you will need the lead in and drivers installed *before* you start the VIP program as if it cant find the lead the program will open close open close open close forever i have both programs on windows 8 and chirp has neither of these problems and is much better. 73 M0RKY > -----Original Message----- > From: IW2GJV via chirp_users <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> > To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > Sent: Wed, 04 Nov 2015 7:09 > Subject: [chirp_users] how baofeng programm used ? > > 3 november 2015 > > hi, for windows 7 and UV-5R version BFS-297 (june 2014) > > how version of VIP program original from BAOFENG (not chirp ) i download > to use > on windiows 7 ? > > thnaks to help , 73 -- Yours Richy B This email is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual(s) it is addressed to.
