[chirp_users] Malicious use of chirp_users email addresses
by Tim Lavoie 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

Hello all, long-time lurker here. I have noticed that the list-specific email address that I use here, has been used in attempted logins to my email server. >From the last couple days, these login attempts have been showing up in my dovecot-related logs, from the following IPs: 103.181.14.250 103.251.143.14 111.70.14.8 121.138.183.176 122.151.32.167 122.169.42.241 123.157.4.248 14.85.88.26 157.208.36.100 180.130.175.136 182.70.242.47 182.75.197.174 183.213.25.118 183.62.20.2 190.93.189.227 196.191.212.238 222.110.220.110 27.72.41.155 31.173.28.23 50.58.168.150 60.221.224.220 61.153.208.38 80.21.208.94 84.235.46.149 91.73.247.158 There is little chance of harm done on this system, but if they have mine, they're likely trying the same on other members' hosts as well.

This sounds as if it should be true, but it is not. I have recently been working with exactly this problem...a link to an http URL //sometimes// is changed to https (not sure why, perhaps a DNS or browser problem), and an error msg is generated because the certificate doesn't match the link. In addition (not to argue, but to wonder), why not have the link be correct? I'm gonna guess it is a single change to a template.

[chirp_users] Quansheng UV-K6 scan issue
by Ken Hansen 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

Hello, I recently picked up a Quansheng UV-K6 Dual-band HT, and had an issue with scanning memory channels - I just wanted to share my findings here, I've opened a request for Chirp_next to change this. The issue is that manually programmed channels have a field "scanlists" that is set to "1+2", but new channels added thru chirp_next have this field blank, meaning the channel is not included in channel scanning by default. To access the "scanlists" setting, you have to enable "extra" settings under the View menu item in chirp_next. (Inside the radio, the scanlists setting is actually a couple different fields that combine to populate the chirp_next specific "scanlists" setting - there is no "scanlists" setting in the UV-K6 radio.) I had this issue running chirp_next 20231021. Ken, N2VIP

[chirp_users] Chirp will not install
by Gene 23 Oct '23

23 Oct '23

I have downloaded Chirp several times. Try to install with No luck. I have tried different browsers. I have tried rebooting. I have tried in safe mode. I have tried all the tricks I can find on the internet, and nothing works. It's like something or some file is missing. I am at my wits end. The install gets to the screen to verify and agree to the license but nothing appears. No license. It sits there for about 5 seconds then vanishes and nothing more. I am on an HP Laptop using Windows 10. Please help. [62cc90ee-bbbd-4080-a05b-465351b94590]

I got the impression that the OP was "streaming" the thought. I suspect it meant that before working on computer internals, pay attention to operator grounding. My experience was that older edge connectors were subject to oxidation. Removing the device and rubbing the edge pins with a "genuine" rubber erase, which contains an abrasive (compare with the eraser that removes polymer lead marks), would scrub off the oxidation. Problem is that used aggressively it tended to wear right through the electrical coating on the pins.

This still begs the question: What about Chirp requires it to be built in 64-bit? Is it a requirement of the current version of Python? Mike, WB4TTZ -----Original Message----- From: Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>, Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Sent: Oct 20, 2023 4:12 PM To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Chirp will not install > No, Marc, it's not necessicarily a PC issue. We don't know yet, because when he responds he has yet to give us the Type of Windows 10 he is running. The installer is 32-bit and will run just fine on even a pretty old machine (32-bit and Windows XP), so there's really nothing about his system being incompatible that should be causing the behavior he's seeing. Thus, knowing the architecture and version of his OS is pretty immaterial at this point. I'd place serious money on it being some sort of "security" software killing the installer as soon as it sees it do something totally legit that it decides is suspicious. For the rest of the readers in this thread, the installer we use is a separate thing and not under the direct control of the CHIRP project. It's a 32-bit application because it doesn't need to be a 64-bit one and gives the best opportunity to run everywhere as a result. However, I'm working on adding an architecture and OS version check to the script so that it will positively identify these unsupported situations in the future. That will rule out any need to suspect these sorts of issues when someone reports a problem. --Dan _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Michael Jaggers at mej(a)mindspring.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com To report this email as off-topic, please email chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Searchable archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com

[chirp_users] R-tone and C-tone
by K0LNY ?? 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

Hi, My local repeater uses 131.8 for a PL tone. I at one point had 88.5 in one place and 131.8 in the other. So I changed both to 131.8, and it seems that it should still work, but it isn't keying the repeater. I'm guessing the R in r-tone is for repeater, and the C in C-tone is CTCSS? Anyway, which one of these is the repeater wanting to hear to open up? Thanks. Glenn A man with a clock always knows what time it is.

[chirp_users] CHIRP @ Wouxun KG-Q10H
by Gary 06 Oct '23

06 Oct '23

Just bought the KG-Q10H, and immediately came here to see if CHIRP was now available for the radio. Looks like it's BETA, and that's fine...will wait till it's gold. I already have a Baofeng UV8 that I use the latest version of CHIRP with, so I'm now wondering if the programming cable I have now for the Baofeng will work. It's one of the recommended cables (when I first got my Baofeng, I came up here to get CHIRP and bought a good recommended cable), and I've physically plugged it into the Wouxun with no problems. Of course, Wouxun wants to sell me their cable, for another $25, but if the one I now have works, I don't want yet another cable plugged into my computer. So what do you think? If it works well with the Baofeng, should it work with the Wouxun. I saw a remark from another BETA tester who said his "cheap Amazon cable was working fine." Cheers -= Gary =-

[chirp_users] UV-5RIII better with older software
by Graham Whaley 06 Oct '23

06 Oct '23

Hi Chirp users, (New list subscriber. First post) I recently had an issue (re)programming my Baofeng UV-5RIII with CHIRP next-20231003, and found a 'workaround' using CHIRP daily 20200226. I thought I'd document here for any possible future reference etc. Backstory: Back in January 2020 I purchased a 'Baofeng UV-5RIII'. I've a feeling that this model had probably just come out at that time, and I didn't realise that getting a (b)leeding edge model might cause problems (yes, I understand the land of 'UV-5R' firmware is a minefield... ;-). At that time I didn't have my license, so I grabbed CHIRP and programmed up the radio. As well as entering some channels I changed the greeting messages and disabled TX. As the 'III' was not listed (afaict) at the time in CHIRP I dug around and found that the Baofeng UV-5X setting worked.... all good. Now: Three years later, I finally find a reason to try and transmit, having forgotten that I disabled TX. I grab a new CHIRP (next-20231003), find that the recommended model is the Radioddity UV-5RX3, and have at it. Turns out I can program up the channels and edit a few of the settings page entries, but I: - cannot re-enable TX on either band listed - change the greeting messages I tried with the vanilla UV-5R and the UV-5X with basically the same result (iirc) - at least, nothing would let me re-enable TX or edit the message text. The workaround: Finally I figured I could try and dig out the original chirp version I'd used. I dug up the old laptop which still had the chirp and the .img files on it. Voila, using chirp 20200226 and Baofeng UV-5X I can edit and upload the TX settings and the messages. Sorted, my radio is now back to functional. side note: although the radio says it is a tri-band 'III', the band button only cycles through two bands and Chirp only shows the two (U/VHF) bands in the settings. I don't know if this is a consequence of me meddling or not - I have no plans to use the 1.2m/220MHz band, so I'm not too bothered. Not sure if that makes any sense to the developers, but hopefully it might help somebody else in the future. For reference, my radio firmware details are: 3B5RV01 (button 3 boot) 151123H HN5RV01 I'm sort of willing to help gather any more diagnostics if necessary, I'm fairly tech savvy. *But*, I'm wary of editing anything more on the radio in case it reverts to non-functional ;-), so hopefully non-invasive data gathering if possible. I'll stay signed up to this list for a bit in case there is some feedback or requests for more info, but if you want to ensure you reach me in the future you might have to send a PM. thanks, Graham, M7GRW

[chirp_users] Caller ID error message
by lhales＠cox.net 26 Sep '23

26 Sep '23

First thank you for the add. I have a question, one probably asked before but searching through each months archive was getting me nowhere. I downloaded Chirp Next in mid Sept 2023 and am trying to use it to make a minor change to my Wouxun KG-UV9PX. When I get to settings and go to the 'freq limit' any change I make immediately opens a dialog telling me "Caller ID must be at least 3 and no more than 6 digits." The change is shown in the settings window and the file seems to save with no problem, but when I reopen the file the changes have not been saved. I am still in the learning curve for the 9PX in particular and Ham radio in general, what is the 'caller ID' error telling me? The "caller IDs" in the 'Settings' window are the default that were downloaded from the radio when I set CHRIP up. Many thanks and my apology for asking a probably very often asked question. Lynn E.

[chirp_users] Baofeng BF-C50 & Serial Sniffing
by KC9MHE Eric Muehlstein 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Hi All, I'm working to discover the cloning protocol for the Baofeng BF-C50. I have the OEM programming software installed in a Win11 VM and I can read/write the memory from the radio. Despite trying several tools, I can't find a solution which allows me to sniff both the RX and TX of a serial connection in Win11 for ARM. https://github.com/emuehlstein/baofeng_bfc50 Instead, I've started a couple of Python scripts which emulate one side or the other and I've been slowly teasing data out of the radio and programmer. As is, my fake programmer sends the 4 byte initialization string the radio expects, the radio replies with 12 bytes, the programmer ACKs that and the radio sends a bunch more bytes but not enough bytes to be the full memory. Any recommendations for a serial sniffing tool which will work in a Win11 Parallels VM? Recommendations on how to proceed with the script to discovering the rest of the download routine? Thanks, Eric KC9MHE

[chirp_users] Linux install instructions, not quite 100%...
by Dave B 17 Sep '23

17 Sep '23

Hi. I just installed the current Chirp on this LMDE 5 system, using the instructions as shown on :- https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux There is a "slight wrinkle" in para 2.2. The command line invocation:- *pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20230509-py3-none-any.whl* Fails as the file "chirp-20230509-py-none-any.whl" was not present anywhere. That is also an old version now as well. OK, simple for me to figure out, but for many other windoze refugees probably less so, so perhaps either some additional instruction regarding actually getting the .whl file "First" (finding the link to that was not as easy as it should be I think either) or including a wget somewhere to pull the latest from the server, and make it all work "automagically" ? Otherwise, 20230911 is working OK with the shack Kenwood TM-V71 on a 64 bit LMDE 5 system. Re the use of pipx, and the comment that pipx users will need to uninstall Chirp, before installing a new version. Is there a reason why "pipx upgrade" cant be used? If so, what is the reason? Lastly, where is the Chirp Icon file hidden these days? (So I can put it in my menu system.) Oh, I also find that this version of Chirp, does not remember the custom port name for the radio, in this case /dev/ttyTMV71 as assigned by a udev rule for consistency. The resulting entry in the port dropdown, is also mostly obscured by being shoved over to far to the left in that field. 73. Dave G8KBV. -- Sent from a MicroSoft free zone:

05 Sep '23

I’m using CHIRP next-20230905, but had the same problem with the last release as well. When programming my Yaesu FT-65R, I’m running into a couple issues: 1. If I set even a single memory to NFM instead of FM, then the next time I upload to my radio, all memories after that one are set to NFM. Example: I set memory 36 to NFM. Memories 36-100 all are set to NFM, even though in CHIRP, they look like they should be set to FM. I’ve tried doing a full reset of the radio, and also tried a memory reset of the radio. Next time I upload, they go back to NFM. 2. If I have memories assigned to Banks, and then delete a memory without first unchecking the box for the bank, the memory stays as a phantom memory. To replicate: Add a new memory and assign it to a bank number (Bank 2 is what I used). Then, after it’s been uploaded to the radio, delete the memory in CHIRP, and re-upload to the radio. When the radio is not set on a Bank, the memory does not show up in the radio. Now, switch the radio to Bank 2. The memory and all of its settings are there even though it was deleted. To resolve it, set a new memory to the same memory number, and go into banks, and uncheck Bank 2. Then, save and go back to memories and delete the memory. Re-upload to the radio and the memory is now gone. Thanks for your hard work keeping CHIRP running for all of us! Gary K7TRO

Tried to manually delete each from the download from radio, then queried the FRS-GMRS, but went to radio to upload to radio but was not highlighted in the radio menu to upload to radio.

[chirp_users] Querying statewide using radioreference.com
by Steve Horning 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Hello! When I query radioreference.com for a specific location I can easily query by zip code. "Query RadioReference" requires a zip code so I don't see how to add statewide frequencies. Am I overlooking something? 73 de N0XVZ, Steve -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com

How can I delete the info downloaded from the radio and then reload the FRS-GMRS from the query ? I have two radios that I want to use for the GMRS frequencies. Thank you.

[chirp_users] UV5R gmrs not recognized but instead Radioddity 8G!
by Larry Massey 03 Sep '23

03 Sep '23

Obtained this radio and attempted to download using Chirp, but was not successful since Chirp doesn't see UV5R(gmrs). Vendor denies this, either Chirp or vendor is in error.

[chirp_users] UV-17R
by Bob DeFranco 02 Sep '23

Does anyone have experience with the UV-17R? Is it just a 5R variant within CHIRP? I don't have one, but they seem like an amazing value with excellent performance. Bob

[chirp_users] is chirp_next recommended for production use?
by Greg Troxel 28 Aug '23

28 Aug '23

I know this project doesn't believe in releases, but pkgsrc currently provides a package with a date as the version. Because chirp-next is labeled next, we are still providing the old codebase, which has not seen an update in a long time. Should we consider the latest chirp-next to be the releaes of record and provide it to users, vs the latest chirp-daily? In other words, should a random user who is not paying attention be handed the old chirp-daily (currently 20221217), or yesterday's chirp-next? Which of these is in this not-paying-attention-user's interest, this week? (If it's one now and in the future will be different, that's ok.) 73 de n1dam

[chirp_users] ICOM 7100 programming
by Michael Nadler KI7QIB 21 Aug '23

21 Aug '23

I'll try asking again as there was no response before. Can anyone successfully program an ICOM-7100 using Chirp? If so: - how is the computer connected to the radio? - did you have to change any radio option? - or any Chirp option? My radio downloads its programming to the computer perfectly. But, if I try to write back more than one channel, or try to program the same channel twice, Chirp reports programming errors. If it doesn't work, then it should be removed from the list of acceptable radios. -- Michael Nadler KI7QIB

[chirp_users] Kenwood TH-F7 not appare the upload in the menu !
by IW2GJV 21 Aug '23

21 Aug '23

I seem to understand that if I load a file -img image Then I can "upload" on the radio that appears in the menu. But if I load an .cvs file .... nothing chirp gives me "upload" option in gray and I can't write on the radio, reason? And why in chirp I don't see in any "menu" option to create an img image file, I also downloaded the latest version but I don't see how to create it? There is a way to convert the file created by Chirp to CVS to an IMG file? Or the problem is the Kenwood TH-F7 radio or ???? Thanks for help, 73

[chirp_users] Tyt 9800 Importing Problems
by K0LNY 21 Aug '23

21 Aug '23

Hi All, I'm still working on my Tytera 9800. I have had trouble working on the CSV file of the 227 memories. My MS Office Excel seems to mess up the fields. For some reason, my LibreOffice Calc crashes when I open the CSV in there. I had a portable version of Libre Office, so I installed the full version, and that kept crashing too. I'm using windows 10. So I ran Dism with the repair switches, and that didn't find anything. So I ran SFC and that fixed a problem and I rebooted. I tried Libre Office again, and it keeps crashing. I fixed up the CSV in Notepad, making sure to not mess with the commas. But I need to get the data into Chirp to upload it to the radio. I installed Open Office, and opened it up in there, but the data does not past into Chirp. I tried to import the CSV file into Chirp, but it does not find it to be a file it can open. The error is: An error has occurred Unknown File Format Should Chirp be able to import a CSV file? I am using Chirp Next from a couple days ago. Thanks for any suggestions.

Using them is such second nature that I could scarcely believe the thread was not a joke <grin>. That's why I didn't reply. Turns out the joke's on me. I guess that's how much things have changed over the decades. I haven't use DTMF in a decade or so, and that's all it takes to lose historical relevance, eh? We used them all the time for autopatches and repeater management, as well as remote control of devices, such as on high-altitude balloon missions (30 km). ~R~ 73 Rich NE1EE The Dusty Key On the banks of the Piscataqua

[chirp_users] Tyt 9800 Buttons
by K0LNY 20 Aug '23

20 Aug '23

Hi All, In the Chirp settings page, I was able to program the four programmable buttons on the microphone, using a screenreader in windows 10 and Chirp Next, but I did not notice if there was anything in Chirp Settings tab for the four vertical buttons to the right of the numberpad on the microphone. Are those programmable buttons, or are they for something else? I cannot read the buttons, and I didn't find any reference in the manual that was readable with a screenreader as what these buttons are. Can anyone tell me if they are programmable or not, and what they do? The vertical buttons do nothing, but sometimes the top one beeps once, and after that, there is nothing from the buttons. Thanks.

[chirp_users] FMT7250DR Programming
by Bob MacWilliams 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

Hello: For some time now I have been using Chirp to program my 7250 with mixed results. #1 Can not change from FM to Digital (not in the drop down) #2 Yesterday I wanted to add some TSQL to some repeaters and accomplished that OK but after entering, the power switched to LOW. Had to go to NFM to regain the HI power. setting. Haven't seen this problem in any correspondence from others in the past emails, or am I missing something?. Bob bdmacwill(a)gmail.com
