[chirp_users] Change Number of Channels To Display?
by Bill Cherepy 22 Oct '15

22 Oct '15

If I have Chirp set to display Empty Channels, upon opening an existing radio file, it only displays the first 25 channels. Is there any way to change the Memory Range default to all channels? Having to change it manually gets old after a while. Thanks, Bill WB4WTN

Yes a loaner- they can;t afford to buy all the different radios. But they need something to reverse engineer, so if you want CHIRP to do it they have to have one to work with.

Yep, and just to further explain how these builds are created for those that are interested (and/or are wondering how we attempt to protect our users who trust our builds): Every night, when a change is pending, the build server literally builds an entirely new Windows 7 virtual machine with known-good copies of all of our base dependencies. It then creates the new chirp build on that machine and uploads it to the chirp website. When it's done, it *destroys* the temporary machine it created. The next day, the whole thing starts from scratch. The process takes about 10 minutes total and occurs on an almost completely sealed private network. There's really no opportunity for anything to get on the build machine and disrupt the process, and it certainly wouldn't change day-to-day, build-to-build. --Dan _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com

[chirp_users] UV5RA Audio
by David Vaillette 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

Hi I reprogrammed a UV5RA radio with the latest CHIRP, and the audio quit for received signals. Audio works fine for button beeps, turn on beeps, and if you hold down the monitor button. Audio works once in a while for a received signal, but very infrequently. I tried the Miklor factory reset using the original factory image file, no good. Radio has N5R2401 firmware, BFB297 software, says 141206N for the start up. Loaded chirp 20150714, loaded N5R2401 factory image, uploaded to radio. Loaded chirp 20151013, downloaded radio, copied frequency info over, no audio for reception. Speaker works fine for any beeps, same with a speaker mike that works great on another radio. Any ideas? At the moment this radio is a brick, and only had it for 2 months. Dave Vaillette dvprint(a)gmail.com ph. 484-695-0760 Thanks

[chirp_users] Jetstream 270M
by Eric Evans 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

I've never used CHIRP and I am very confused. I just purchased a JT270M and can read from radio to CHIRP, but not write CHIRP to the radio. Jetstream advised me that CHIRP and the 270M will not work with WIN 10. I will not get into the quality of support from them in this section. I do have a machine with WIN7 on it and I get the same issue. I did get the VV898 software to load the 270 M ( 1 test freq)but with errors (No ALPHA Tag). Jetstream suggested a different prolific driver, but as of yet, nothing has been offered to me from them to use. I am fair with computers, and I wish to determine the following: 1) Which OS to use 2) Which driver do I use for the prolific driver (USB w/chipset) 3) Any other suggestions that you may have. Thank you! -- EJ Evans KM4JVV

[chirp_users] TYT MD-380 / ICOM 51A Plus and Anniversary Edition

Dan, et alia: In RE: TYT / Tytera MD-380 -------------------------- Is there any plan or does this to be able to get this radio to be supported by chirp? In Re: ICOM ID-51A Plus or ICOM ID-51A Anniversary Edition ---------------------------------------------------------- (I am not asking about the regular ID-51) I am going to be purchasing soon the ID-51A Anniversary Edition or ID51-A Plus quite soon and already own an ID-5100 (I also own an ICOM IC-2820, ICOM W32A, Kenwood D700). What is the status of CHIRP relative to these radios and what cables are recommended to effectuate programming? I did look on the Wiki and FAQ and saw no reference to cables for ID-51A style radios. I own an OPC-478 (serial cable) - though would buy an OPC-478USB I also own an RT Systems cable for the 91AD also. I want to figure out what cables I need to program all the radios I have in the fewest collection of cables. :) Thanks in advance! 73, Stuart, N3GWG

I'm using a TYT 9800, which supports 66-80MHz, I think. I've been trying to set frequencies within this range, but CHIRP complains that they are out of supported range. I'm guessing that msg comes from CHIRP, not the radio, since it isn't connected at the time. Regards, SR

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R 7 watt version not recognized by Chirp?
by Paul Hazell 10 Oct '15

10 Oct '15

Hi Everyone: Just wondering if anyone has encountered a problem when trying to have Chirp recognize the Baofeng UV-5R (high power version) 7 watts handheld? I purchased one of these 2 days ago and have not been able to get Chirp to recognize it. It keeps saying that I have “Chosen the wrong model number” from the list of radios that the software recognizes. BUT I have been using the UV-5R setting?? The firmware version from the transceiver is BFP3-25. I have downloaded the latest daily version of Chirp chirp-daily-20151009-installer.exe and still have the same problem. If anyone has any ideas, it would be appreciated. Best regards: Paul Hazell VE3KBI

Hi All, First, thanks to the listowner for hosting this list, and allowing me to participate. I was recently given an AnyTone AT-5189 2-meter mobile rig, Has anyone had any experience with this radio, and has anyone managed to configure it with Chirp? I am running CHIRP 0.4.1 on Linux - Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (Python 2.7.6). 73, tnx-- Tim -- *Tim Schutte kc8hr(a)sbcglobal.net kc8hr(a)yahoo.com kc8hr(a)arrl.net "Try not. Do, or do not.

Wanted to pass along that i ran into a problem with Chirp (more specifically the prolific drivers for my cords), when installed the new version of El Capitan. Found my drivers were no longer working and had to download new drivers. went to the prolific page at http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=229&pcid=41 <http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=229&pcid=41> and it provided exact instructions for how to get it fixed. Worked like a charm!! Good Luck! Robert/KD0YMC

Hello! I am new to this list and want to say hello to all users! I am happy to have Chirp. It has already saved many hours! Thank you all, who made this possible!! I already use Chirp for my FT-857, IC-7200 and my Boafeng 5R. Works great! Now I got an IC-2730. In the list I see it is not supported. <sniff> Is there a plan to get the IC-2730 working with Chirp? -- 73 Wolfgang, DL7NB P.S.: In a world full of complaining, it is important to know, that you have done something very well!

[Cody P Schafer <dev(a)codyps.com>] drivers/ft60: add support for "off" duplex mode (#2891) By using a tx frequency of '0', the radio (or at least my ft60) refuses to transmit (gives "ERROR" on the screen) when the PTT key is pressed.

[chirp_users] CHIRP with Linux Mint / Linux Zorin
by Richard AG5M 02 Oct '15

02 Oct '15

I am new to Linux (Linux Mint 17.2 and Zorin 9.0). I have installed CHIRP on both computers. But I am unable to download from my Baofeng UV-3R or Baofeng UV-5R. In each case it appears it does not find, or allow me access to, the Com Port ttyS0, or any port for that matter. Probably something simple I do not know about being new to Linux. Can anyone please give me some advice? Thanks Richard AG5M

Re: [chirp_users] CHIRP with Linux Mint / Linux Zorin
by Richard AG5M 02 Oct '15

Jim, Dave and others who responded. I did what you said, but when I go to add dialout it asks for a Group name to be inserted. What exactly is a "Group name"? It's asking for some combination of lower case letters and numbers. Not sure what to put in there for a Group name. I also tried using terminal without success. I typed in sudo usermod -a -G dialout USERNAME. Are there spaces between usermod and -a-G username? I tried with and without spaces, then ran id USERNAME but still could not find dia on the list. Something basic here I'm still not in tune with. More advice please???

As for Linux Mint , open the System Settings scroll to the bottom under Administration then tap on Users and Groups. The click on Your user name. Look to the right bottom side of the pane and double click the groups list and add dial out.

[chirp_users] Request for assistance -- Ubuntu and daily build
by gplayle 27 Sep '15

27 Sep '15

Folks: I'm a bit puzzled. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I followed instructions for adding the repositories and pulling and installing CHIRP (which is a very nice bit of work). But I am unable to install the daily builds. Here are the errors I receive: sudo apt-get install chirp-daily Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: chirp-daily 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/329 kB of archives. After this operation, 2,418 kB of additional disk space will be used. (Reading database ... 221002 files and directories currently installed.)

I got the same error. What am I doing incorrectly? Reason for the question: Wouxun KG-UV2D is supported on the "home" page, but not listed in the radios of the version of CHIRP (0.4.1) I currently have. I would like to fix this. I spent most of the last two days finding out what is and is not supported for the Baofeng (Pofung) UV-3R, which I know is an older model. I was working from *.csv files. I offer that information if someone wishes it. Thank you in advance. Respectfully Greg

[chirp_users] Question about disabling transmit on a Baofeng UV-5x
by bill＠riess.us 27 Sep '15

27 Sep '15

Once you have uploaded from the radio (or loaded a saved image from the model you are using) you can disable transmit by: 1 - click "Settings" on the extreme left (There is a column that says "Memories" and "Settings" - click on Settings) 2 - click on "Other Settings" in the second menu column 3 - Change the VHF and UHF frequency limits as desired (e.g. 144-148 and 420-450) You can disable transmit all together by unchecking the boxes next to VHF and UHF "TX Enable" KW9WR Bill

[chirp_users] KG-UV3D rescue image
by Robert Morningstar 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

Hello: I recently repaired my KG-UV3D by replacing the memory chip using the procedure described at http://tim-yvonne.com/ham/wouxun-memory/index.htm I am having the problem that the radio apparently has reset itself to the other band as when I attempt to use the Wouxon software I am now getting a Channel Message 1 Out of Range message. Is there a rescue image that I can use to reset this radio back to factory defaults? The web page listed above list 2 image files but they are for a KG-UVD1P. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Bob Morningstar

[chirp_users] Clean BF-F9+TP Image Required
by Douglas Yates 26 Sep '15

26 Sep '15

Hi all I have a Pofung BF-F9+TP which I am having problems with. I can't access the local repeater even though the rig seems to be set up correctly. It's transmitting on the correct input frequency, but it won't open the repeater, even though it's on the same settings as my UV-5R which works just fine. I suspect I may have got something wrong during programming and, like an idiot, I forgot to get a nice clean copy of the software when it first arrived. Does anyone have a known-good image for firmware N5R3401 - BFP3-25, preferably one that is known to work with a repeater? Douglas Yates
