[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R Cloning
by drsenn＠frontiernet.net 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

I have 2 UV-5R's purchased on separate dates. Chirp will upload from either radio but will not download the other radio. The "oldest" 5R is firmware BFB307, the "newer" 5R is N5R2401. How can I copy Chrip data from one to the other. The error msg is "Image is not supported by the radio". Thanks in advance for any help. DavidKD4ZHI

[chirp_users] How in the world . . . .
by DocBeattie . 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

How in the world did you people get a ham license if you can't read? The instructions to unsubscribe appear on every message list. The majority of issues about chirp and your radio can be answered by reading either the radio's manual or the Q&A area of the web site. Did some sit beside you giving you the answers on the license test? Or, did you just pass your test by luck? Just wondering.

[chirp_users] Thanks to all
by tom 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

Many thanks to the developers, contributors and chirp users that post to this group. After reading many posts, following the instructions at Miklor website, and home building a simple serial port to MAX232 to rj45 adapter, it works perfectly on my TM-281A Kenwood. The discussion here helped me decide to purchase new batteries for old W2A hand-held rather than try the latest small imports which were offered here for 35$ Canadian. Overall, I'm grateful for the information on this list, and expect to find many useful bits of information to help along in the hobby. Best regards and 73's. Tindaro VE3KZJ

[chirp_users] FT-1D Cable Question
by n4lbl 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

If I understand right FT-1Ds originally came with an SCU-18 cable (my case) and later they changed to the SCU-19. Does that matter to Chirp? I intend to run Chirp on Ubuntu 14.04. The drivers fo SCU-18 and SCU-19 are different for Windows. thanks,,, Alan,,, n4lbl

[chirp_users] BaoFeng UV-82, uploading to raido
by Ed Mowles 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

January 24, 2015 I am a new user of Chirp. First few time I uploaded my list to the radio it worked fine. Now it is having trouble wih the names matching the Frequency? I tried to change it from names to channels' and still had a problem. It wants to populate the same channel or name to all the frequency. I removed Chirp and re installed It with the newest updated version. no change? I set the BaoFeng 82 back to default and re uploaded the chart from Chirp, still no change. Created a new file, still no change. I can't find out how to correct this. Thank you in advance for your help Ed Mowles edmowles(a)gmail.com 928-575-4502 --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com

This change modified the memory editor taskbar to include a button which connects to the memory property page as well as adding a properties menu item to the vie menu and memory editor context menu. Access to the memory property page should now be slightly improved and more accessible to those people whom are not used to functioning with a 2-button mouse button.

Re: [chirp_users] Correct radio choice in CHIRP, Baofeng UV-5RTP
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

Sam, I just looked on the page you gave and UV-5RTP is *not* listed on the page. I used the "find in page" (control f) twice, it is not there. *BF-F8HP* is there. See list pasted here. It is the ONLY high power radio "HP". BF-F8HP *(in daily builds)* *Also includes the BF-F9V2+* *Also includes the GT-3TP* *Also includes the UV-5R TP* BF-F8HP is also listed in my version of chirp-daily which I haven't updated for a month and a half. CHIRP daily-20141210 What should happen is that the CHIRP main page should have UV-5RTP listed under BF-F8HP. Oh, I see it now, it is listed as UV5R TP - there is a space between UV5R and TP, that's why "find" could not find it. So there you go the page tells you to use BF-F8HP - so everything agrees, right? I'm posting to the CHIRP List so they can see the resolution, your answer to the list also please. 73 David N1EA On Sun, Feb 1, 2015 at 9:08 AM, Sam C <kd0pld(a)gmail.com> wrote: > CHIRP does indeed list support for my model: > http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home > > It is right on their home page listed as I pointed out before. > > Also, the dealer I purchased from stated that the UV-5R programming > software was correct and the poster of the video below, reviewing the > UV-5RTP shows a different software version, VIP for UV5R, working. > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUv92tJk_8s > > I noted a comment below the video sy=stating that the correct radio drop > down is not the UV-5R as the name implies, but the BF-F8HP as the firmware > would indicate. > > Thanks for your help.

Hopefully I am doing this correctly: In CHIRP I need to pick the radio for Baofeng. I have a UV-5RTP, one of the new 8 watt units. Do I pick BF5-HP which matches the class of radio or do I pick UV-5R which matches the model designation? Thanks

[chirp_users] Looking for TYT TH-UV3R images
by Eric Allen 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

Hey folks, I've discovered a new firmware revision for the TYT TH-UV3R (TYT calls it the TH-UV3R25 in their software) that supports 2.5kHz channel steps and possibly a few other features, as well. I'm working on getting CHIRP to discriminate between the two radio versions, and I need your help. If you have a TH-UV3R, can you please send me a .img file to (ag6ie(a)wolak.net) downloaded from your radio? If I get enough of these together, I should be able to pinpoint the spot in memory that determines the version number so that we can make the support for the two versions seamless. Also, if you've attempted to program a TH-UV3R with CHIRP but the memories on the radio were blank or scrambled, then you're in luck: the next version of CHIRP should have full support for your radio. Thanks! -Eric AG6IE

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20150130 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #320 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add updated Hungarian translation from Attila HA5JA [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [VV-898] Add Settings to Leixen VV-898 Module - Part 10 Add the following settings: - Squelch Base Value (UHF) - Squelch Base Value (VHF) related to #2149 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [VV-898] Add Settings to Leixen VV-898 Module - Part 9 Add the following settings: - DTMF Digit Time - DTMF Digit Space Time - DTMF First Digit Delay - DTMF Pretime - DTMF * and # Digit Delay - DTMF ACK Decode - DTMF Side Tone Corrected spelling error in Part 7 related to #2149 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [VV-898] Add Settings to Leixen VV-898 Module - Part 8 Add the following settings: - VOX Gain Level - VOX Delay Time - VOX Inhibit on Receive related to #2149 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [VV-898] Add Settings to Leixen VV-898 Module - Part 7 Add the following Key Assignment settings: - Long Press Time - P1 Long - P1 Short - P2 Long - P2 Short - P3 Long - P3 Short - M Short - Menu Enable related to #2149 [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] [PATCH] Dismissing save confirmation dialog was closing tab A typical gtk Dialog will return a response of RESPONSE_DELETE_EVENT when the dialog window is dismissed. As a result dismissing the save confirmation dialog was performing similarly to the user selecting the NO button (RESPONSE_NO) This created a situation where a person could possibly loose their changes should they dismiss the save confirmation dialog without using the cancel button. The fix essentially handles both the CANCEL and DELETE_EVENT responses as the same. Bug #2255 [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] [FT-60] Memory Bank Link Scan Added settings support for memory bank link scan. Extended bitwise int data element to support xor operator. Note: The mbs settings are stored in the 16 bits located at memory location 0x09E in the high order bits. Note: A bank can be linked even if it contains no memories. In this case the radio ignores it during the mbl scan. Bug #675 Bug #1945 [Jens Jensen <af5mi(a)yahoo.com>] [th9800] fix skip scan/priority issues #2247 Skip/priority settings were not taking effect. Channel fields were for display only. There are special channel banks controlling scan enable and priority. This fix manipulates both channel fields and bank flags. [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] [PATCH] Fix Context-Menu Handler in Memory Editor This patch modified the behaviour of the button event handler for the memory editor to properly select the underlying elements of the treeview when using the right mouse button. Fixes #2249 [Jens Jensen <af5mi(a)yahoo.com>] [th9800] clarify channel display mode #1353 change "Frequency or Name" boolean to "Display" choice of Frequency or Name [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] [PATCH] Fix Link in About Dialog The URL link in the about dialog is now functional. Tested in both Ubuntu and Windows 8.1, verified working. Replaced the MessageBox dialog for the 'Documentation' help menu item with a hotlink to the website. The URL link in the MessageBox was non- functional on Windows and overall it did not provide much information outside of the link anyhow. Bug #330

[chirp_users] serial port monitor?
by Rob Locher 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Hi all, I believe I've found a CHIRP bug, er I mean an issue. When I try to "Download from Radio" with my ID-880H, I get an error almost immediately: "Failed to communicate with the radio: Unexpected response from radio". I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and the 2015-01-23 daily build of Chirp. I use the same USB-to-serial converter to troubleshoot hardware devices regularly using minicom, so I'm confident it's not a permissions problem. I'm able to use the Icom software to program the radio (after booting the netbook into Windows, ugh), so I don't think it's an issue with the radio or the cable. I checked to see if I have the latest firmware for the radio, but there haven't been any updates. Before I report the issue, I'd like to gather as much information as I reasonably can. If there's a relatively simple way to capture the traffic on the serial port, I'd like to do that. I did some Googling, and all the methods I found seemed complicated. Of course there might be a much easier way, like setting a debug level. So I ask the group, is there something reasonable that I can do to log the activity on the serial port before I report my issue? 73, - Rob W7GH

[chirp_users] Bug #2155 - Uv-5r not receiving but will transmitt
by Lawrence Stewart 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

This not fixed. I tried all those steps suggested and it did not work. The radio was fine until I loaded my old file with chrip onto the new Uv-5r. Then receive got muted. I tried the factory image and leaving the beep on. Nothing works. I am upset because it looks like the radio is ruined. 73 KA2HJH, Sincerely, Larry Stewart Splitrock ARA Webmaster 862-324-6232 -----Original Message----- From: chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com [mailto:chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com] On Behalf Of chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2015 10:12 PM To: lstew452(a)optonline.net Subject: Welcome to the "chirp_users" mailing list (Digest mode) Welcome to the chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com mailing list!

I bought a SECUDA USB Programming Cable For Icom Radio ... 1-pin 122-053 from Amazon. It has a PL2303TAchip in it. I used the PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1.10.0 from the vendor. I used the vendor's program - checkChipVersion_v1006 – and it recognizes chip in cord on COM3 When I use CHIRP to try to download the current frequencies on the radio, I get the following error: "Failed to communicate with the radio: Unexpected response from radio" Any help would be appreciated, even if that help tells me that I need to contact the seller, Sundely @ Amazon about a bad cord. Thank you, in advance for your help. Seth - KB1PWN

So I have an Icom T70A handheld I wish to program. I bought a nice FTDI cable to USB and 1/8" stereo plug. Installed the driver and chirp. Chirp can't read from the radio. All it does is put the radio into scan mode. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Best regards - Brian Carling AF4K Crystals Co. 117 Sterling Pine St. Sanford, FL 32773 Tel: +USA 321-262-5471

Note: some settings map to the memory bank and are therefore not included in this list. Note: the list of settings and categories was taken from the user manual for this radio. Tested against the specific revision model no. FT-60R. Feature #1759 [Jens Jensen <af5mi(a)yahoo.com>] [th9800] add tuning steps per channel #1353 [Jens Jensen <af5mi(a)yahoo.com>] [th9800] add tx inhibit feature per channel #2229 add tx inhibit feature by setting txfreq and offset to 0. Causes RX to be normal, but when duplex=off, no TX and ERROR displayed along with beep. Note: Minor cosmetic side effect is that display indicates negative duplex offset, probably because 0 is always < rxfreq. This may be unavoidable unless we can find an actual channel flag which is designated for tx inhibit. Also added channel field "reverse" to map.

[chirp_users] Offsets change when downloading to CHIRP
by Michael Sonnenblick 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

I have a TYT TH-UV3R. When I download my channels from my radio to CHIRP, CHIRP changes some, but not all, of the offsets. I first enter the frequencies into CHIRP and upload them to my radio. I check my radio and the offsets are correct. Then I download the frequencies back into CHIRP and see that the offsets have changed. If I were to re-upload them to my radio, then the wrong offsets would be uploaded. So anytime I need to add a channel, I need to redo all the changed offsets. As I mentioned, not all offsets are changed, but the ones that do change change whenever I download my channels to CHIRP.

Thanks. I'm aware of the limitations. I can program the frequency into memory directly into the radio but I'm looking to do that within Chirp. The program attempts to "protect" me. There used to be a method to change the limits by swapping out the control database for the radio but the architecture has changed and that doesn't work any more. I'd really like to be able to disable those checks. - David >On Thu, 8 Jan 2015 20:48:01 -0500, Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com> wrote: >On Thu, Jan 8, 2015 at 7:17 PM, David B.
