[chirp_users] BF-F8HP
by Larry Booth 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

After uploading my first template to my new BF-F8HP all of the memory channels are correct. CHIRP seems to have operated as expected. But there is no audio now on the radio. Not even squelch. It doesn't look like any setting would have disabled the audio. What could have caused this? Larry O. Booth

You did remove the data cable from the radio. Something I've done when hurried to test it, not remove the cable.

[chirp_users] CHIRP bootable USB
by Gordon DeWitte 10 Mar '15

10 Mar '15

Things have been going really well with my CHIRP bootable USB, and I've been able to program and update several radios over the last year or more. 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.

Set TDR-AB to OFF. TDR-AB is of no value on a UV-82 radio because the dual [PTT] overrides it no matter how it is set.

[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.

[chirp_users] Chirp will not load any info on Beofeng UV 82L
by Northeastcourier＠aol.com 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

Hello, Chirp opens and downloads from a Beofeng UV 82L, but when I try to enter any info in any field (frequency, tone, name, etc ) the previous entry reverts back to whatever was originally there. Can anyone help with this problem. There is also a frequency that keeps appearing ( 146.010, I think, when the newly programmed one disappears ). Had no problem when I originally programmed this radio last month. Thank you. Glenn

At this time, support is limited to the 200 standard memories. No banks, no settings, no band edge limits.

[Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in csvdump scripts (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in unit tests (#2355) The memedit unit tests needed an exception, as that module uses a lambda to fake localization when importing the UI module. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in run_tests (#2355) The run_tests script contains logic to set the path for importing the chirp modules. This violates the style rule that all module-level imports must be at the top of the file, so I added it as an exception for this file. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Allow cpep8.py script to make exceptions (#2355) This patch enhances the cpep8.py script with the ability to ignore a list of style rules on per-file basis. There are cases where it may be too disruptive to eliminate all style issues, so this mechanism allows the style checker to enforce the remainder of the style rules. The new --strict option will cause the script to ignore the exception list. As a bonus, this change improves interactivity, so --verbose will cause the name of the file to be printed as it is checked (rather than printing one long list before it started). The downside: the pep8 module catches KeyboardInterrpt, so it's hard impossible to stop once it gets started. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix bad lambda conversion in platform.py (#2355) ... and today I learned that python's lambda expressions have an implicit "return" statement, while defs don't.

[chirp_users] UV-B6 was BFf8hP

Hi dwsexton > I a baofeng uvb6 when i try to from the radio download with chirp or with theoem software i get radio did not ack > programing ) i have tried chirp and it does not show uvb6 but when i read the help list it says to use the uvb5 to > read and write from radio i have use 4.0 and 4.1 daily build both give the same results i have checked the usb > driver and it is set and i am using the port it is set to any advice would be helpfull. You are correct to use UV-B5. Sadly the new Firmware versions of UV-B5/UV-B6 are not supported by Chirp. There is a patch that remedies this, but as far as I know it has not been added to any official Chirp build. You can use the official Boafeng SW to download the image, and then rename it to the name used by Chirp, import it to chirp, make the changes, save, rename back and upload via Boafeng SW. I hope that Chirp will soon add support for those newer UV-B5/B6 Firmware versions. It seems that the Radio changed its identity marker, and is no longer correctly identified by Chirp. The one line patch floating around seems to remedy the situation. (At least the newer UV-B5 is recognized and fully programmable) CU, Ricsi

[Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Add cpep8.sh wrapper script (#2355) This patch moves the virtualenv setup out of run_all_tests.sh, allowing cpep8.py to be run on its own with the correct module versions. This patch also moves the virtualenv temporary directory into tools/ and adds it to the .hgignore file. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Improve cpep8.py (#2355) This patch expands cpep8.manifest to contain all files, allowing the cpep8.py script to use it instead of scanning for files. Scanning can now be done with --scan. If both --scan and --update options are given, the manifest file will be updated with the scan results. Altogether, this should fix problems that Windows users were seeing, caused by mismatches between the dynamic manifest and the blacklist (due to different path separators).

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20150228 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #329 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Run pep8 in a virtualenv with a pep8==1.4.6 This makes our test runner generate a virtualenv, install pep8==1.4.6 inside, and run our pep8 test using it.

[Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in setup.py (#2355) This patch brings setup.py into conformance with PEP8 rules and removes it from the blacklist. It also rewrites the staticify_chirp_module routine to be more idiomatic. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues (4/4) (#2355) More low-hanging style issues. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues (3/4) (#2355) This patch fixes more low-hanging style issues. For the most part, these are all whitespace changes, but there were a handful of idiomatic changes flagged by the pep8 tool too: "x.has_key(y)" is now "y in x". [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues (2/4) (#2355) This patch fixes the style in a handful of files and removes them from pep8.blacklist. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues (1/4) (#2355) This patch contains whitespace-only changes that eliminate all of the PEP8 style warnings in the CLI and GUI scripts. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Add pep8 checker script (#2355) This patch adds a new script that runs the pep8 tool on the CHIRP source code files. This script is intended to be included in the repository pre-commit hook, preventing patches from causing style regressions. The script checks a blacklist of files that are not yet compliant with the style standards, and those files will not be scanned (unless -a is given). Since no new files should ever be added to the blacklist, it should eventually shrink to empty, and the script will check the entire codebase. The blacklist makes it safe to begin using this tool immediately, so this patch also adds a call to it from run_all_tests.sh. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Suppress startup debugging messages (#2347) This patch changes the verbose startup messages to use LOG.info calls. This change is required to make the CLI remotely usable, as it's unreasonable to print so much information in that context. I kept this separate from the last patch, because I can imagine that this might impact the automated/buildbot testing. To avoid regressions, the previous output can be generated by setting 'CHIRP_DEBUG=info' in the environment. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Use new logger module (#2347) This patch chases down all references to CHIRP_DEBUG, converting the wrapped print calls to LOG.debug calls. It also eliminates a few plain DEBUG variables and a couple of other one-off variants. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix chirp.logger module (#2347) This patch addresses some issues with the chirp.logger module in order to use it in chirpc and chirpw. It prints the version string when logging at DEBUG level. In addition, it embraces and extends the "debug.log" support that was present in chirpw, ensuring all log messages and output end up in that file when running on Win32 or MacOS hosts. It also allows that feature to be tested on Linux by setting CHIRP_DEBUG_LOG in the environment. [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] [FT-60] Adding support for PMS channels.

Now for your question. If you take a look at the Supported Radios list on the CHIRP you will see BF-F8HP (in daily builds) Also includes the BF-F9V2+ Also includes the GT-3TP Also includes the UV-5R TP So all of these Baofeng radios with 3 power levels are basically the same and they all are programmed by selecting the BF-F8HP model.

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-20150227 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #328 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Revert r2380 since it removed logging the current version. Related to #2347 [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] Attempting to speed up memory editor load times It appears that the memory editor is unecessarily attempting to simulatanesuoly prefetch all memories from the radio twice at startup. This is causing a somewhat signifigant performance hit as the tree view is performing a linear search of its store attempting to prevent duplicate entries (see while loop in set_memory) As a result the duplicate call to prefill was having no effect other than forcing a lookup of the treestore and did not appear to have any other bearing on the application. Another seperate, but related, improvement would be to increase the overall performance of the linear search of the treestore. Bug #2369 [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Add chirp.logger module (#2347) This patch adds the chirp.logger module, using it in chirpc and chirpw. It adds a handful of optional command line arguments to control the new logging features. In addition, CHIRP_DEBUG, CHIRP_LOG, and CHIRP_LOG_LEVEL can be used to control the logging features from the environment. It also makes the version string reusable between the GUI and CLI, and it prints that string at the start of the log file (if in use). [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] Fixing issues with memory property editor. This patch attempts to address a couple issues with the layout of the property page. Mainly the issues relating to the layout of the table containing the widgets was skewed (on windows at least) where some entries appeared much big than others. The other issue was that the multiple property editor was showing blank entries for no apparent reason. It addresses an issue with the multiple memory editor where the selector of elements which were intnded to be hidden was still being displayed. It adds basic tooltip support to all widgets and not just the extra settings. It also groups elements into two groups (tabs) "general" and "other"; the former signifies the basic radio settings which appear in the memory editor while the later is the set of "extra" radio settings. Bug #2251

[chirp_users] I got an unsupported xinchuang TR-N7 radio, how can I add support for it?
by mofo syne 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Is there any place I can upload... say a "serial dump" file of communication between it and some propriety software (named SV83) ? I managed to create a serial sniffer cable, so if I have a place to upload it, then you guys could inspect and add support for it. Heck I think having a dedicated place to upload serial dumps would be great for reverse engineering efforts.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '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-20150226 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #327 [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] chirpc: add --list-radios option (#2343) The current list of radios is too long to present to the user in the --help text, so this splits the list out into its own option. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Update chirpc argument parsing (#2343) The optparse module is deprecated, so this patch converts chirpc to use the argparse module. This allows chirpc and chirpw to share argument parsing code. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Rename chirp.py as chirpc (#2343) The chirp CLI needs a better name if it ever will be installed in PATH. It is better to do that early on rather than later. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Use argparse in chirpw (#2349) This patch rewrites the argument processing in chirpw to use the standard Python argparse. [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] Correcting typo in credits for callsign. Bug #2279

Hello to all. I’m very new to Chirp. I’ve installed the Python package and the daily build that supports my radio the Baofeng BF-F8HP. I’m using the BaoFeng FTDI Programming cable. A USB to serial port appears when I plug it in. When I try to download the radio’s memory, I get the error “Radio did not respond”. Chirp seems to run fine. Could anyone tell me of any procedure I’ve missed or has experience using OS X Yosemite with Baofeng HT’s? David Kickbusch

[chirp_users] UV 5R Tone Squelch
by Tom Barton 21 Feb '15

21 Feb '15

I'm using a few UV 5 R's on a commercial UHF repeater. The frequency is a bit congested. Here's the problem - The UV 5R seems to hold the squelch open for about 2 seconds after the repeater (and thus the tone) drops. Is there a timer that anyone has found that determines the time that the squelch is held open after the tone drops? This is most annoying to hear snippets of other companies transmissions - especially one digital repeater. Thanks for any input.

[chirp_users] Could use a hand with a BaoFeng and Chirp
by Joe abrahamson 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

Thanks for the ad. Have been a CHIRP user (and donar) for a while now and no issues. Then had my desktop computer die and replaced it with a Win7 64 bit unit. Installed CHIRP and I thought everything went fine but when I tried to upload the new frequency list to the radio (a UV-5RA thats about a year old) it keeps telling me that "an error has occured. Radio did not respond" I have used this same cable and radio in the past with CHIRP with no issues so am guessing that its the computer or OS. Have tried both 0.4.1 and "chirp daily-20150218" found on the BaoFeng site, both with the same results. Ideas? Am volunteering in a ham event tonight and would love to have the radio as a backup for my older Kenwood "just in case".... Thx, Joe A KG7FDX Phoenix
