GREETINGS TO ALL.CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IN SIMPLE STEP TERMS HOW TO MOVE A FREQUENCY FROM FREQUENCY MODE TO STORE INTO A CHANNEL OF MY UV8. NO SPLIT OR CCTSS NEEDED.....A SIMPLE PUBLIC BAND FREQUENCY INTO A CHANNEL. ALSO HOW DOES ONE BEGIN THE CHANNEL SCAN PROCESS?

I'm looking to use the receiver out of those ranges Jim. I can manually program those frequencies into the radio but not via Chirp. - David >On Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2015 22:30:22 -0500, Jim Unroe ><rock.unroe(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >David, > >You can program any valid frequencies within the published band limits >of the radio (136.000-174.000 MHz and 400.000-520.000 MHz).

Re: [chirp_users] Who used CHIRP in linux ubuntu mode ?
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 08 Jan '15

The poster, y_61 says that he bought a new cable from Baofeng through Amazon.it, and the cable works fine in Windows but when used with the Chirp Live CD based on Ubuntu with upgraded CHIRP to DAILY CHIRP (20150102) with GTK 2.24-10 Pyton 2.7.3 PYGTK 2.24.0, connecting the cable results in the Baofeng UV-5R (BFS 297) going into TRANSMIT mode. The poster, y_61 does not understand why the same cable is working with Windows but not with Ubuntu CHIRP Live CD. The poster, y_61 does not confirm that the version of CHIRP used on Windows is the same DAILY CHIRP or other. Does anyone know why the Baofeng UV-5R is going into transmit. The poster, y_61 does not state at which moment the UV-5R goes into transmit.

[chirp_users] Special Mode?
by David B. Horvath, CCP 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

I want to be able to program in frequencies that aren't in the normal HAM range. My intent is to monitor those frequencies -- I'm not planning on transmitting. I realize this isn't a good choice but better than carrying multiple radios. I can program these frequencies by hand but the software tries to "protect me from myself".

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-8100?
by Eric Allen 06 Jan '15

Hey folks, I recently picked up a Yaesu FT-8100, and I'm looking to program it with CHIRP. Has anybody else given this bad boy a shot? It looks to be programmable, so I'm hoping to adapt the CHIRP support for one of the other Yaesu mobiles, but I'm hoping maybe it's actually easier than that.

Yeah, I encountered that plug seating issue with my own UV-5RA so with the UV-5R radio I really put some pressure on the connector - even trimmed the plug. But no joy.

[chirp_users] UV-5R Says "Radio did not respond"
by Richard Dillman 02 Jan '15

02 Jan '15

I'm in a bit of a quandary. I volunteered to program a friend's UV-5R using Chirp, which works a treat with my UV-5RA. However when I try to download from the UV-5R Chirp complains that the radio did not respond. Since all is well with my own UV-5RA I assume the software/driver/cable are not an issue. I'm using Chirp Daily Build 20150102. All guidance will be much appreciated... especially since I promised to deliver the radio tomorrow!

Yeah, I encountered that plug seating issue with my own UV-5RA so with the UV-5R radio I really put some pressure on the connector - even trimmed the plug. But no joy. So maybe a defective connector on the radio side.

When I program the tone frequency for rec. and tone type it saves as 88.5 (programmed as 203.5) and TSQL rather than tone. This happens on ch. 2. I have tone programmed only on ch. 1 and 2. None for ch. 3 and 4. The tone freq . shows correct for all transmit entries. Cliff

[chirp_users] Looking for N5R-213BFB297 image.
by Simon Wex 14 Dec '14

14 Dec '14

Hey All, First of all, thanks so much for your wonderful radio community resources. I'm new to all of this, but just screwed up and so I've started actually learning! Using Chirp, I uploaded an image from one of my radios onto the same model UV-5RA radio with different firmware (oops). I now can only receive on that radio if holding the mon button. I think I need to upload an image downloaded from a radio with the same firmware and then import my local frequency list using my CSV export. The problem is, I can't find a chirp image with the right firmware version. The radio lists it as "N5R-213BFB297". I see at http://kc9hi.dyndns.org/uv5r/programming/CHIRPrecovery/ there are both N5R-213 and BFB297 images separately. When I try to upload the BFB297 image using the latest daily Chirp software (chirp-daily-20141210), I get this message: "Upload finished, but the 'Other Settings' could not be sent because the firmware version of the image ( Ver BFB297 ) does not match that of the radio (N5R-213BFB297 )." If I use the N5R-213 image, I get the following error: --- Sending Magic: 000: 50 bb ff 20 12 07 25 00 P.....%. Ident: 000: aa 36 74 04 00 05 20 dd .6t.....

[chirp_users] Chirp and virus alarm
by Pedja YT9TP 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

Just for the record: I just tried to download latest daily build. Avast blocked connection claiming it is malicious, infected with Win32:Evo-gen. Tried to download both install exe and ZIP file, both were blocked. I disabled Avast, then downloaded and installed Chirp latest daily build, but when I enable Avast it does not allow Chirp to run, still claiming it is infected by Win32:Evo-gen. However, the latest stable build http://chirp.danplanet.com/download/0.4.1/chirp-0.4.1-installer.exe was not recognized as malicious and is not blocked. It downloaded and installed with no problem. I guess this is false alarm but quite annoying. Pedja YT9TP --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

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-20141210 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #308 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add test image for Sainsonic AP510 for #2095 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Add support for Sainsonic AP510 APRS tracker. #2095 The Sainsonic AP510 is an integrated single-channel VHF radio and APRS tracker. This patch adds support for configuring all of the parameters of the AP510 (one channel and lots of settings). [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Add bool cast and improve charset options in settings. For #2095 Previously, tests could not be done on RadioSettingValueBoolean values. This patch adds bool casting / test support so that checked boxes test True and unchecked boxes test False. RadioSettingValueString supported setting the charset, but only after initializing the value. This fails if the value contains characters not in the default charset. With this patch, the charset can be set during initialization, so when the value is set, it is tested against the appropriate charset. Changes for Build #309

[chirp_users] ALINCO DJ-X10
by raymond reese 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

I echo the interests of the following message! However, I am the proud owner of the Alinco DJ-X10 and it is also difficult to program. Maybe, if enough Alinco owners speak up and if there is someone out there who can program CHIRP to accept the functions of those radios, I would do the "happy dance" or an old fashion Irish jig. Thanks for all that CHIRP is so far!

[chirp_users] New Tech with Boafeng UV-5R and CHIRP software
by Christy Cash 07 Dec '14

07 Dec '14

Hi, and thanks for allowing me to join the group. I have been working on getting my CHIRP installed (and working) for several days now. Tonight, I FINALLY got everything to work, after trudging through many website, emails, and discussions. I created a couple of channels as a test run and everything read from the radio and wrote to the radio with no problem. I then went back into the program to start over and I got errors indicating the Port was no good. I had not removed the cable or changed ports, or done anything differently. When I went into my Devices and Printers folder, there was a yellow warning sign stating there was a problem with the port. But everything worked fine just seconds before that. I'm sure I will have more questions, but after getting this far on my own, I'm at a loss, and hope to get some help. Thank you for your time, Christy KEØCJO

Re: [chirp_users] Pofung/Baofung UV-B5 on MAC OS X
by mason fann 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

So I id install the 3.2.0 driver on my Windows machine at work. After that I was able to access the radio with CHIRP. Thanks for that! When I got home I tried some steps to remove/disable the existing USB driver on my MAC that I found in a thread on a forum I read too. After installing the driver for "counterfeit" Prolific cables I still got the "radio did not ack" error. I then changed the COMP (29) menu setting to ON. That seemed to do the trick! I can now access the HT with CHIRP on my preferred mac machine. Now I need to RTFM to figure out how to use a dual band radio. Never had one before. thanks for your help.

[chirp_users] Pofung/Baofung UV-B5 on MAC OS X
by mason fann 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

Was there ever a resolution this thread? http://intrepid.danplanet.com/pipermail/chirp_users/2014-November/006832.ht… I am having the same issues with a new Pofung(baofeng) UV-B5 on both Windows 7 and MAC OS X Mavericks with CHIRP. The OEM software works fine on Win7 for me though. There is not MAC Version so I can't do much troubleshooting on it. CHIRP does work on the MAC with a Puxing 777 and a Kenwood TH-K2 successfully. Only the UV-B5 gives the error.

RE: IS IT MY CABLE OR MY TVR? Most Problems with Chirp are a problem with the USB cable driver. Use the driver which came with the cable. Do NOT allow Windows to update the USB driver when you plug in the USB cable and Windows loads the USB driver. This is an attempt by Microsoft to stop people using cloned USB cables. 73 Bob VK2BYF On 30 November 2014 at 07:00, <chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> wrote: > Send chirp_users mailing list submissions to > chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of chirp_users digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1. chirp linux and cable to programm (y_61(a)libero.it) > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: "y_61(a)libero.it" <y_61(a)libero.it> > To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > Cc: > Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2014 15:32:32 +0100 (CET) > Subject: [chirp_users] chirp linux and cable to programm > > hi, > > my cable to programm baofeng uv-5R not work or is fault my rtx uv-5r ? > > in how mode i test is faut the rtx or the cable ???? > > > > i create the *CHIRP cd-live on usb boot pen...*. but if i download to > rtx it say ERROR no 2.... what is ? > > in how mode i TEST the cable is not dead ??? > > > best 73 > > > > > > i try to connect th cable via *CHIRP CD LIVE* (linux ?) and I think > the cable is recognized… > > > > but I not very shure it is effectly recognized …there isn’t a TEST to > know this ? > > > > I open CHIRP and select “downolad” is say this : > > > > AN ERROR HS OCCURRED and : > > > > Could open Port/dev/ttyUSB0 [ ERRORno2 ] > > > > No file or directory /dev/ttyusb0 > > > > > > …..is correct that use this TTYUSB0 ? the others ports is not called > “usb” …. > > > > And what is this ERROR no 2 ? > > > > Is FAULT and dead my usb cable or my rtx UV-5R ? > > > > Thanks very muche for help me, best 73 > > > _______________________________________________ > chirp_users mailing list > chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users > > -- *The miracle of life is that it exists despite everything it's got going against it.* *Bob *
