[chirp_users] Question About Chirp and Baofeng
by Michael A Prater 11 Jul '23

11 Jul '23

Hi I am trying to figure out how to configure the Baofeng using Chirp. I see that the preloaded lists have a Tuning Step, but I do not see this column in the image for the Baofeng. I programed a lot of channels, but I still am not sure how to get this to scan all the frequencies, or if I am missing a config, or checking for an accurate config. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Michael

[chirp_users] CSV Uploading Issues
by Benjamin Lent 10 Jul '23

10 Jul '23

Hi, Don't know what I am doing wrong. Radio: Baofeng UV-5R Platform: Mac OS Ventura 13.4.1, Macbook M1 Chirp: Recently updated Using Microsoft Excel I have downloaded my memory from my radio, exported to csv, cut and copied the frequencies and names to the correct column and save the file. However, when I upload the file to CHIRP, it only shows the previously existing memories, none of the new. I have tried every which way to save the files, uploading them, re-downloading software. Can't seem to figure it out. Any help out all is appreciated.

[chirp_users] CHIRP Tips Videos
by Dan Smith 28 Jun '23

28 Jun '23

Hi all, There is a lot of useful content out on youtube that provides step-by-step instructions for some general workflows with CHIRP. However, there are a lot of other things you can do with CHIRP that never seem to get covered. Lately as I have helped people adjust to some of the things that are different in CHIRP next, I've been thinking that it might be nice to have a set of very short to-the-point videos that cover some of the more obscure features. Things you may or may not know about, or that you feel you don't quite understand enough to use properly, or things that have been added and gone unnoticed. Videos covering how to do something in CHIRP legacy may no longer be accurate or helpful today. Now, I'm not an influencer and I never will be. I'm not a cinematographer, narrator, or artist. Videos I make will never have the pizzaz of HRCC or some of the other people in the business. I'm an engineer and I'm only good at drawing straight lines and right angles. I don't want to make movies, I want to work on CHIRP. But, I can make short low-budget demonstration videos with dry voiceovers and probably help explain things better, so I figured I might give it a go. I've published the first video on custom stock configurations here: https://youtu.be/U3s5cT3IAco It's a little rough and I promise the next one will be better. If these are useful to you, please let me know here and subscribe to the channel so I can gauge interest. I have at least a few other topics that I think are not often well understood that I can cover in future videos, and let me know if you have other ideas. I want to keep these mostly radio-neutral, meaning they should be about how to use CHIRP in general, and not how to program a UV-5R. Josh already has that sort of thing covered. If it seems like making more of these is worth the trouble, I'll do that. Be gentle! :) --Dan

In the old version of chirp after you searched repeaterbook for your specified repeaters and the list came up you could scroll to the bottom of the page and check a box that said de-select all then scroll thru the list and check only the ones you wanted. That feature is no longer present in the CHIRP next version and I can not figure out how to only kee p the ones I want and do away with the rest. Is there something I am missing? I have nearly pulled out all my hair trying to figure this out and, I would really rather use it than Odmaster. Sent from my iPad

I'm trying to upload a CSV file to my radio. ubfortunately the upload to radio option is greyed out. Why? what gives? I can download from the radio, which produces a saveable .img file and allows me to export a .csv with all the channels. I am unable however to either paste into chirp from another source or write the radio using the .csv file I exported. what gives? how do I import a .csv and output a .img file to the radio? Eric

Re: [chirp_users] Errors when trying to read from Icom IC-92AD
by Joe Martine 17 Jun '23

17 Jun '23

Today I received a cable for my Kenwood TH-F6A and find it has the same problem as the Icom. These two are the only "live mode" radios I've tried, perhaps my issue is more generally with live mode? The TH-F6A cable is a USB version, branded Maxton Data. When connecting to the radio most memory channels are red, a few actually show up correctly. This time I tried adding some data to an empty memory that was successfully read. Surprisingly, this does *usually* work. A couple of times the frequency would show up in the radio, but when I added an offset or tone the software seemed to indicate it was sent (green highlight then back to white) but the radio never showed the change. On one entry I made another change (change step size or something) and BOTH changes finally showed up on the radio. While Chirp was trying to read the memories the console showed many repeats of "Unexpected result returned from radio" and "Not sure what to do with this:" followed by either a '0' or a line of gibberish. Anyone have thoughts or suggestions to try? Thanks, Joe > > I have recently gotten back to playing with my radios after a few years (too many hobbies!) and was pleased to find Chirp can work with all of them. At this point I've successfully read and reprogrammed several radios but my IC-92AD is not cooperating. > > I have the Icom programming cable and have tried reading its memory on Mac, Win and Linux with roughly the same result. Chirp reads data, but with lots of errors. Mac/Linux seem most successful, with just a few memory channels marked in red, Windows fails on almost all. But even the channels that do get read aren't quite right. There may be duplicated channel numbers, one blank the other with a frequency in it. The channel numbers may be out of order. Or some have incorrect data. > > A screenshot of one read attempt (this morning): > http://www.n5usr.net/images/230615_chirp/92ADLive_230615.png > > Note for memories 21-27, that block is actually all FRS frequencies.

Meanwhile, I've made some progress figuring out the layout of the on-disk format that CPS 1.2.4 uses to store configs. I hope to be able to produce a CVS exporter.

[chirp_users] Errors when trying to read from Icom IC-92AD
by Joe Martine 15 Jun '23

15 Jun '23

I have recently gotten back to playing with my radios after a few years (too many hobbies!) and was pleased to find Chirp can work with all of them. At this point I've successfully read and reprogrammed several radios but my IC-92AD is not cooperating. I have the Icom programming cable and have tried reading its memory on Mac, Win and Linux with roughly the same result. Chirp reads data, but with lots of errors. Mac/Linux seem most successful, with just a few memory channels marked in red, Windows fails on almost all. But even the channels that do get read aren't quite right. There may be duplicated channel numbers, one blank the other with a frequency in it. The channel numbers may be out of order. Or some have incorrect data. A screenshot of one read attempt (this morning): http://www.n5usr.net/images/230615_chirp/92ADLive_230615.png Note for memories 21-27, that block is actually all FRS frequencies. The ham repeater entries are valid entries but they are NOT in memory locations 21 / 23 / 25 / 27. I also made a log file for one run (not this morning's, but similar results): http://www.n5usr.net/images/230615_chirp/IC92AD.log Am I doing something wrong? Perhaps a setting in the radio that needs to be changed? I've looked through the options and nothing strikes me as likely but you never know... Chirp version is: CHIRP next-20230608 on all three platforms. Thanks, Joe

[chirp_users] Is it possible to support the Baofeng UV-17 Pro GPS radio (and related models)?
by Terri Kennedy 08 Jun '23

08 Jun '23

[I figured I'd ask here first before opening a feature request in the issue tracker. If the answer is "no way", I'll pursue other programing methods.] There has been a lot of excited talk on the Baofeng Owner's Club Facebook group about the UV-17 Pro GPS. A number of people have received these radios and they're very interesting / nice, with a number of new features. CPS software 1.2.4 is available from: https://www.miklor.com/RadioSoftware/Baofeng%20UV-PROs%20v124.zip and is apparently generic for the UV-17/18/19/20/21/22 Pro. I believe some earlier investigation of other newer Baofeng models resulted in a determination that the memory format was un- like any other Baofeng / clone previously seen. But this does seem to be a [mostly] common format across a whole new series of radios. If needed, I can provide one UV-17 Pro GPS on loan for develop- ment and can contribute another to the lab for ongoing release testing.

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-90 cable question
by Ken Hansen 06 Jun '23

06 Jun '23

Hello, I've come into possession of a Yaesu FT-90r dual-band 'micro' mobile radio, and I'd like to program it with my computer. I see several people offering cables for prices varying from $20-30, and I wondered if anyone here has advice on which cable to get/use? I like Blue Max 49ers ( https://bluemax49ers.com/product-explorer/yaesu-ft-90-ftdi-ct-29c-6-ft-radi… ), and their cable is right at about the mid-point of the price range ($26.95 w/ free shipping), but I thought I'd ask here first. I see current CHIRP claims to support it, can anyone personally confirm it does? Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer, Ken, N2VIP

I'd like to report an issue with the program where the row height in the memory display is not sticky when the font size is changed to large font. If the large font is set and the program is exited, when reopened the larger font is displayed in the narrow height, cutting off the bottom of the characters. Thanks. -- Best Regards, Michael

[chirp_users] Upgrading CHIRP on Ubuntu 23.04?
by Jon Gauthier 01 Jun '23

01 Jun '23

When trying to follow the upgrade instructions on the ChirpOnLinux page, there seems to be an error or some information missing. "Once chirp is properly installed, upgrades to newer versions are done with two simple steps: 1. Download the newer .tar.gz file. 2. Run pip install --upgrade ./chirp-<version>.whl (use pipx if you used it above)" Since I'm running Ubuntu 23.04, I used "pipx" to install the latest CHIRP. Today, a new version came out so I downloaded the latest .whl version and ran "pipx install --upgrade ./chirp-20230601-py3-none-any.whl" But pipx doesn't have a "--upgrade" option to the install verb. If I try pipx without the "--upgrade" option, it tells me: 'chirp' already seems to be installed. Not modifying existing installation in '/home/jon/.local/pipx/venvs/chirp'. Pass '--force' to force installation. Should I "install --force" it? "pipx reinstall" doesn't work, since the new version isn't installed yet. Should I remove the old package "chirp 20230531" first then install the new one using: "pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20230601-py3-none- any.whl"? Jon Gauthier - KB1HTW
