[chirp_users] Help please!

I am trying again to get the CHIRP program to work with my Icom T70 and it Is NOT obvious. I have a nice FTDI from Mark Dunkle. KJ6ZWL. I have spoken with Mark and we ar enboth mystified as to why this doesn't work. I got as far as to make it stop SCANNING all the time when I plug the cable in. I follow the key presses to get the radio into CLONING mode. I set it to "CL out." Then I try to "read" the radio into Chirp. The only thing I can see to do in CHIRP is to click on "RADIO" and then "DOWNLOAD FROM RADIO." Is there something else I should be doing? I jhave been trying this since January and just haven't had time to fool with it soince it is such a bad time-wasting failure. I wish people would either supply instructiuons with Chirp or make it so that ist is a bit more obvious and user friendly! I will now try downloading the latest version and see if that helps. I am on version 0.4.1 Bry Carling, AF4K

[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV8D
by Steve Gouveia 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Hello to all. I just purchased the Wouxun KG-UV8D. The programming software that came with it is so very basic. A few friends of mine recommended CHIRP. So I downloaded it. It's much better to program with. When I went to upload the data to the radio, that function was unavailable (greyed out). I can download from the radio, just no upload. I tried CHIRP on my Kenwood TH-F6A and it worked fine. Any idea what may be causing this problem or when CHIRP will support the Wouxun KG series? Thank you

[chirp_users] A handy web-page for novices
by Andrew Sprott 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

Hello, I would like to say hi to you all and hope I shall learn from this list. I found this web-page that lists 98 frequencies for public access, emergency, maritime etc., as well as frequencies reserved for walkie talkie handsets graded for low power, restricted range and another that seems to accommodate higher transmittion power with options for the antenna. https://radiofreeq.wordpress.com/2013/11/05/program-your-vhf-uhf-transceive… There is a cvs file which can be imported and uploaded onto your uv-5r using Chirp. The page also has a neat description of the different types of frequencies, worth printing out. A good manual for the uv-5r can also be accessed here. http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/pdf/uv-5r_v1.0.pdf Andrew

[chirp_users] Importing a CVS files into a Chirp/IC2200H image file.
by Peter Akins 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Hi All, I am a new user to Chirp and I am initially using it with an Icom IC 2200H (around 200 memories). Cable and com port all OK. Chirp talk to the radio. I am endeavouring to import a general CVS file of the local repeater list as published by the WIA (Wireless Institute of Australia) here in Australia. I have created an image file from the IC 2200H by ³downloading from the radio². No problems in doing that (works perfectly!). I save this image file for future reference, but that is an incidental comment. I leave the image file ³open² in Chirp. I then attempt to import the local WIA Repeater list into this image file. However, I receive a message that indicates ³UNKNOWN FILE FORMAT². (I have deleted all Repeaters from the WIA Listing that are not 2 metres, so as to keep the list below 200 repeaters, and so as not to compile a list (via the import function) that is incompatible with the IC 2200H (a 2 metre radio only) I guess my question is, how do I prepare the WIA Repeater list (a CVS file which I can see using Excel, of course) so its image matches the Chirp/IC2200H image, and will then presumably enable the import function to operate nicely.

Re: [chirp_users] Successfully programming BF8HP with CHIRP
by D. Q. 21 Mar '15

Hi, I've been using CHIRP to download/upload programming images to my BaoFeng BF8HP since I got it a few weeks ago. I use the BF8HP field selection in the radio upload/download window and haven't had any problems. I obviously use the most recent build and update with the most recent daily build, and again no problems. Personally I always download the programming image first, make changes, then save the changes and upload the programming. This way I know the link and software are working by downloading first, and this (maybe I'm wrong about this) way I'm not altering the radio first. Just some positive feedback.

[chirp_users] Are Baofeng & Wouxun FCC compliant?
by Bob Fk 21 Mar '15

21 Mar '15

Recently here in Oz, there have been a number of Chinese radios use by Marine Rescue people, confiscated by ACMA officers claiming interference potential and the usual BS. ACMA in Oz is similar to FCC in the US. I notice my Wouxun complies with FCC part 15 but cannot find a similar statement in the Baofeng manual. I believe as amateurs (full calls) we are allowed to build our own gear so I assume we, the licensed operator, are responsible for complying with licensing requirements and are not limited to commercial, type approved, expensive equipment. I would assume Australian laws would be similar to US laws in this respect. How would this issue affect non Ham users, i.e. CB, Commercial, Civil Defence, Volunteer Fire & Rescue organisations etc? -- 73 Bob, *VK2BYF *

The code had been using the entire byte as an index into the TONES or DTCS_CODES array, and when the high order bit was set, the value was too high by 128, resulting an array bounds error. Fix is to alter MEM_FORMAT to separate the high order bit flags from the lower 7 bit tone and code fields. This also adds some error checking via a "try" block to catch any remaining array bounds errors (though none are expected). And it adds code which attempts to set those bit flags the way the radio would have set them, even though the flags seem to have no effect on the way the radio transmits or receives.

It allows all combinations of CTCSS and DTCS for transmit and receive, including using one CTCSS tone for sending, and a different CTCSS tone for receiving. This also includes a minor change to memedit.py, to support the proper column hiding/unhiding for TSQL-R. The TSQL-R is "reverse tone squelch", and has the same data, and thus the same columns shown/hidden, as in ordinary TSQL. But on TSQL-R, the radio behavior is different. Squelch is broken only if the tone does NOT match the stored tone.

[chirp_users] Updating CHIRP program
by Michael D Earls 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

I'm still running Daily Build 20130627, which still works fine for my two UV-5Rs. Because I wanted to play with the squelch settings and because I might want to program newer units than mine, I attempted to install recent daily builds. My first attempt was chirp-daily-20150306-installer.exe. Then, I tried chirp-daily-20150314-installer.exe. In both cases, they appear to run ad infinitum, but no Run or Install window ever appears. >From the Q&A page: How do I upgrade to a newer version of CHIRP? Nothing special is needed. Just download the newer version and install it. The install will replace the old version automatically. This applies to the daily builds as well. Did I choose the wrong file to install from?

Now, we do not try to change directory unless there is a path component. The second problem was that the logs directory will not exist in a clean working copy of the repository. It was being created after the logger module was called. That is resolved by moving the directory creation step to occur before the initialization of the logger module options.

Fix is to initialize all unknown fields to 0, mimicing what the radio would do if creating new channel via the radio's front panel. Also, we re-order the power levels to make the default "Hi", again to mimic the radio's front panel behavior.

Now, not so good: - system boots from USB on my portable PC (running 64-bit Win7 Pro) and I get the usual desktop, but cannot run CHIRP — when I double click on the icon, I get the timer icon for a while and then nothing - thought maybe something went south on the laptop, so tried the same flash drive in my desktop (running 64-bit Win7 Home Premium), and got exactly the same result - CHIRP update operation in both systems seemed to work fine - thought maybe something went south with the 8 GB USB flash drive, so reformatted it and reloaded everything — same result on both systems - tried another flash drive (4 GB), loaded everything from scratch, and got same result on both systems - loaded daily build on laptop and it worked fine Any suggestions? I really liked the Live USB option, but now… Sincerely, Gordon KF5JWL

[chirp_users] UV-5R V3+ download error
by brownie3＠neo.rr.com 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Tried “download from radio” on my Baofeng UV-5R V3+ and received error message “Radio refused to send block 0xlec0”. When the dialog box to clone radio came up for only a second and then the error message poped up. At the same time the radio went through the same sequence it does when it turns on, meaning the display goes solid and the backlight flashes and the WELCOME message comes up. I have tried everything I could find to do. My Device Manager says my cable is working properly. I have the right “old” driver, made sure the cable is seated completely, volume is turned up, I’m on clear channel (tried active channel also), windows smartscreen is turned off as will as auto update. Any one have any suggestions?

I was able to download the driver for my cable finally, downloaded Chirp to my Dell running Win 7 and was able to upload from my BF-F9 using the BF5 selection. I add all my data for download to the radio but keep receiving an error message stating that there is unsupported firmware incompatible. Could you please provide a fix for me, thanks for your time….

[chirp_users] Problems programming a BaoFeng BF-888
by Joe abrahamson 06 Mar '15

06 Mar '15

Well I finally got my BaoFeng UV-5 programmed with everyone's help here using Chirp. Works great and I have done it several times. Now using the same cable was trying to do the very same thing on a BF-888 radio. Same computer, same cable and same Chirp but I did change it to the correct Radio Model when doing so. When I do this the computer does not seem to see the radio and when I hit "OK" it goes to the "Cloning"screen and a 1/2 of a second later the "An error has occurred. No response from the radio" message pops up. Am using the same port, same everything with no luck. Any ideas? Thanks, Joe A

[chirp_users] Radio did not ack programming mode error in Linux; worked a few weeks ago!
by Walter Francis 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

This is very strange, I'm not sure what to make of it... I haven't programmed my Baofeng B5 in a few weeks, and today I wanted to add a few more channels to it, so I got out my cable, plugged it in, ran Chirp, try to send... Radio did not ack error immediately. Also tried to Download, same. My chirp version hasn't changed (Chirp 0.4.1; installed in November) and my radio hasn't changed. OS hasn't changed (Fedora 20, x64), although it's possible I've gotten a kernel update since the last time I programmed. Cable is plugged in all of the way, I've replugged it multiple times, different ports, etc. I haven't dropped the radio, the cable was curled up and put in a drawer for the last few weeks, etc. Very weird. Anyone have any guesses? I programmed it dozens of times screwing around when I first got it and never once had an issue. I always got the same error at the END of programming but it seemed fine. Now it happens immediately and does nothing. The adapter shows up on dev/ttyUSB0, I have write access to the device, etc. Radio is on unused channels, powered off and back on, etc. Here's the traceback if it's useful.. User selected Baofeng UV-B5 on port /dev/ttyUSB0 Clone thread started -- Exception: -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirpui/clone.py", line 227, in run self.__radio.sync_in() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/uvb5.py", line 305, in sync_in self._mmap = do_download(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/uvb5.py", line 196, in do_download do_ident(radio) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/uvb5.py", line 177, in do_ident raise errors.RadioError("Radio did not ack programming mode") RadioError: Radio did not ack programming mode ------ Clone failed: Radio did not ack programming mode Clone thread ended --- Exception Dialog: Radio did not ack programming mode --- None -- Walter Francis khayts.us theblackmoor.net unlimitedphoto.com

[chirp_users] FM Broadcast channels on Wouxun?
by Eric Vought 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Is it possible to program the FM broadcast receiver memories on the Wouxun KG-UV6x handhelds through CHIRP? I am programming them for emergency responders and it would be useful to have pre-programmed access to the stations which are commonly used for public announcements in disasters here. So far, if there is a way to do it in CHIRP, I have not figured it out.

Jim, Thank you so much. As you have probably already gathered, I am not an expert in these matters, and the owners manual seems to be lacking in explanation for some of the different setting functions.

[chirp_users] Problem using Chirp (daily) on Mac OS X 10.10.2
by Jürgen Frank 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Hello, just to intruduce myself: ham radio operator for more than 25 years, last years without activity (self-employed as communications-engineer...). Yesterday I received my Sainsonic AP510. Tried to configure it with my Mac (OS X 10.10.2, python installed from the link on chirp-homepage). Had success only once. Most of the time it crashes immediately after downloading settings from trx, maximum half a second after showing settings. (Today I tried the new daily built: same experience (no success until now). So at work I tried the windows machine (successfully did a firmware-update to the 20141215 version). Can change frequency-parameters (qrg, tone, power), but second tab is empty. Are these known problems or is it only on my side? 73 de Juergen DB2FM

Jim Thank you. Your last solution with clicking on properties allowed me to enter the frequencies and tones. But now all the channels can only be accessed in the B (lower) bank of channels. When I press the EXIT/AB button it will not lock on the A (upper) bank. So it looks like I somehow disabled the dual watch function. Could this have been something I did in Chirp? Thanks again.

A quick way to make sure that a new entry or setting selection has been made fully is to click the [Refresh] button. If it doesn't stay, you didn't press enter or click onto another cell to complete the change. Another way, and it may be simpler for some is to click on the memory row that you want to edit, the choose "Properties" from the drop-down menu that appears. Then change the settings as required and click the [OK] button to accept the changes.

In all cases after installation of several versions and daily updates I can not start Chirp, I receive only an error window "Error reporting is enabled" and when I click "OK" nothing happens. On my Win8.1 pro computer all is running well. Do you have any suggestion hów to help? 73! George OK2KG

Is there not a tried and true Prolific drivr from the files section of Chirp? That is unless the device is FTDI based. Not sure if there is a preference driver for those. Canes.
