[chirp_users] CHIRP Feature Request
by Augusto Gabaldoni 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Hi all, I am new in this so not an expert at all. Help will be greatly appreciated. I have two Baofeng BF-F8HP and was successful in modifying the operational range of them. I have extended the frequency range using the following parameters: VHF: 108.000 to 177.000 UHF: 385.000 to 570.000 I have successfully tested both radios to transmit and receive on the following range: VHF: 128.450 to 177.9975 UHF: 385.3725 to 570.4775 I still have to use my scanner to confirm that they are transmitting on that whole range, but the radios do communicate on it. I have used the 108.00 lower range on VHF to try receiving Air Band, but still have to confirm if I can receive on that range. One problem I have with CHIRP is that it does not allow me to add channels on that range which would be very useful to identify by name those frequencies (GROUND, ATIS, APPROACH, CLEARANCE etc.) CHIRP says those frequencies are beyond operational range. I can save those frequencies in memory on the radio interface but I cannot add a name to them. Is there a way to make CHIRP do this, or does it need this added as a new feature? Thanks!

I've searched the archives looking for a way to program my "new" FT-50R with no luck. I also tried all the radios in the Yaesu drop down menu. Is there a way to program the FT-50 in Chirp? Thanks. Lonnie, N9IUI Sent from my iPad

[chirp_users] Error Trying To Download From FT-1D
by n4lbl 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

When trying to download I get the message: An error has occurred Could not configure port: (5, 'Input/output error') The environment is Ubuntu 14.04, Chirp daily -20150210, cable SCU-18 with power light on, HT in CLONE mode. The Radio box presents port choices /dev/ttyS0 thru /dev/ttyS31 and I have tried many of these but not all, and always received the same exact message. There were no USB possibilities presented. The message said nothing of permissions. I did check anyway and saw: n4lbl@eel:~$ groups n4lbl n4lbl : n4lbl adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape audio dip video plugdev fuse scanner lpadmin netdev sambashare so that seems OK. The HT's internal code is ancient: from when I bought it in Nov. or Dec. '13. My intention was to back it up before upgrading the code. This is sure to be a knuckleheaded mistake or something I didn't read or forgot. Thanks,,, Alan,,, n4lbl

[chirp_users] Help needed: today's daily build
by Dan Smith 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi all, Yesterday we merged a change to clean up the settings interface a bit. It's a relatively minor visual change, but it affected a lot of code, including every driver that has a settings interface. We expect it to all be fine, but given how many things were touched, it would be good to do some extra checking. Below is the list of drivers that were affected. If you have a radio that appears to be covered under one of the drivers below, I'd ask that you install today's daily build and check to make sure that the settings tab in CHIRP appears to work as expected. alinco anytone ap510 baofeng_uv3r bjuv55 chirp_common ft1802 ft1d ft60 ft7800 ft817 ft857 ft90 ftm350 h777 ic2100 icf icq7 kenwood_live kguv8d kyd leixen settings th9800 th_uvf8d thuv1f tk8102 uv5r uvb5 vx2 vx3 vx8 wouxun The build in question is this: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20150209 If you experience any trouble, please respond to this thread so we can take a look.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 09 Feb '15

09 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-20150209 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #323 [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] Updated radio settings interface. Due to the nested nature of the settings editor tree view, labels in the tree generally become obscured because the pane is too small. This change addresses the issue by a) adding a horizontal paned window which allows the tree view to be manually resized while b) flattening the radio featrure radio settings group to return a single list of all top level radio settings groups. Bug #2285

[chirp_users] Get the UV-B5 new firmware with 27 menu options natively supported on Chirp
by Richard Menedetter 08 Feb '15

08 Feb '15

Hi Joe, Richard, List @Jim Many thanx for the workaround. It works. But it would be great to get the new firmware also supported in Chirp for up/downloading from/to radio. Would it be possible to have a checkmark to accept any identity if the radio type is set to UV-B5/B6? Eg. do not care what radio sends, and just go on? Also it would be great to check when a NACK comes back if it is the first byte of the test data. If yes, then the propability is very high, that everything is OK, and that the firmware simply does not accept test data! I will gladly test beta builds. PS: As mentioned earlier, in the mailinglist welcome message a beta download link is referenced, that gives a 404. @Richard I will gladly test compiled code. Did not receive anything to test yet. Thanx for your answers CU, Ricsi

[chirp_users] "Unexpected response" from Icom IC-2200H
by Mark Crummett 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

Trying to use CHIRP 0.4.1 to program an Icom IC-2200H. All I can get is an error message- "Failed to communicate with the radio: Unexpected response from radio." I don't think it's a driver problem. FTDI cable is recognized by the computer as COM5. A similar cable on COM4 works fine with a UV5B. Should the radio be on any special settings? I tried the Clone mode; that didn't seem to make any difference. Could there be an issue with the speaker port? (Probably outside the scope of this list.) I'm new to this; am I missing something? thx, Mark KG7NZQ -- Mark Crummett Portland, OR

Hi: Can the Baofeng/Pofung GT-1 be programmed using Chirp? It looks like a much improved version of the BF888s. I’m going to order a couple of these from Amazon to check them out. If I plan to keep them and you need a radio to use to set them up, I could send you one. Best ’73, AE8R Jim

[chirp_users] UV-B5 does not ACK programming mode - remote debug of return value?
by Richard Menedetter 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

Hi list I have a Boafeng BF-F8+ und a UV-B5. The latter can't be programmed with chirp. It gives me the error "radio did not ack programming mode". The BF-F8+ works with the same cable on the same computer. The UV-B5 works with the Baofeng SW. So I read that the UV-B5 seems to "change identity" according to the menu settings. But I cannot get it running. (tried to set everything to frequency mode) Tried to reset the UV-B5. Changing compander is not possible, as this option was removed from my UV-B5 firmware ... Tried to download the beta from the list welcome message, but only get a 404: http://chirp.danplanet.com/download/beta/ Tried with the last stable Chirp and with a daily from early february. Would it be possible to either try to remotely debug what my UV-B5 is sending and include it into chitp or maybe give an option to ignore the return value from the handset if UV-B5 is chosen? I am quit sure the actual communication would work, if Chirp would not give up on the unknown ACK signal from the handset. I would be very glad if I could use chirp to import the BF-F8+ settings into my UV-B5. I hope that we can work this out together! CU, Ricsi

[chirp_users] Icom 92AD Read issue?
by Bryan McWhirt 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

I'm using the current daily build for OSX and the memory of the 92AD is reading fine but it's not reading any of the DSTAR information in the DSTAR tab. It looks to me like it's hanging on the getting bank information as that is the status message "[0] Getting Bank Information". Both band A and Band B memories are loading fine. It's everything else that is failing. I'm using the PL chip because when I use the FTDI chip, chirp is unable to read anything it just gets errors for every location. Does Chirp need more than just TX,RX,GND connected on the FTDI? -- KB9YEN Bryan McWhirt bryan(a)kb9yen.com

[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

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

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.

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.

[chirp_users] Correct radio choice in CHIRP, Baofeng UV-5RTP
by Sam Chase 31 Jan '15

31 Jan '15

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

I have been able to run both chirp-0.3.0 and chirp-0.4.1 using the instructions on the website for running on Mac OSX. Due to a new radio I have (Leixen VV-898), I have to go to the daily build in order to get support for the radio. I have installed the program, it starts to run but then immediately quits with no error. Any suggestions ? Ron

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.

[chirp_users] serial port monitor?
by Rob Locher 29 Jan '15

29 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
