[chirp_users] Corrupted memories
by Gary Halleen 05 Sep '23

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

[chirp_users] Querying statewide using radioreference.com
by Steve Horning 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.

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

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.

[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] _valid_tones
by Jim Unroe 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

Dan, I was just brought to my attention that the rb15.py driver has selections for tones in one Hz increments from 56.0 to 64.0 Hz. Doing some looking around I see that there is a "TONES_EXTRA" in chirp_common.py that matches these tones. It appears that the default tones have been changed from TONES to TONES + TONES_EXTRA. I don't know why this change was made, but now every radio I have tested, whether they support it or not, has these 10 additional tones appended to their list of tones. [image: TONES_EXTRA.png] Can this be changed back or do I need to make a plan to address this in the individual drivers for each of the affected radios? Jim

[chirp_users] FTM-3100R
by Andy Zaayenga 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Hi folks, I've got a new-to-me Yaesu FTM-3100R. Picked up a cable from BlueMax49ers to run with CHIRP. I downloaded the radio using the FTM-3200D R template as per the CHIRP home page. Downloading and uploading works fine. I copied and pasted from my Yaesu FT-60R img 63 of the frequencies I monitor that are covered by the FTM-3100R. Uploading those to the radio works fine and downloading shows them all in memory. However, I notice that when I scan all 63 frequencies the radio only scans the first 14. The display just stops on the 14th location while the numbers under MR keep counting up to 63. Then it cycles back to location 1. I have the radios side by side and the FT-60R scans all the locations while the FTM-3100R only the first 14. The specs say the radio has 199 memory locations which is consistent with the CHIRP img * 199 "basic" memory channels, numbered "1" through "199". But the CHIRP image doesn't show the home channel or any of the L or U locations. * A "Home" channel, providing storage and quick recall of one prime frequency. * 10 sets of band-edge memories, also known as "Programmable Memory Scan" channels, labeled "L0/U0" through "L9/U9". Does anyone out there have an FTM-3100R and can let me know if I'm doing something wrong? I'm wondering if there's some issue with the FTM-3200D R template WRT the FTM-3100R. Thanks from a first-time poster! 73 Andy Zaayenga KD2SME Yaesu FT-60R, Yaesu FTM-3100R

Sorry, Dick. That file is my CHIRP file, and I renamed it with a bak extension because most servers do not allow img files due to security protocol. As Danny points out, you can delete the .bak part to make it an img file that can be read into CHIRP. Tonight I installed the CHIRP Legacy edition and went through the same exercise. No difference from the current version. The operative question is – Does anyone on this list use CHIRP successfully for their Yaesu FTM-3100R? Then I would know if it’s something about my configuration or CHIRP itself. Thanks all.

Thanks Peter. None of the locations are marked Skip. For reference, I've attached the img file, renamed to a bak extension so the servers don't block it. The Skip field only accepts S (Skip) or blank, there is no dropdown for Priority. The manual references that there is only one Priority channel, kept in memory location 0. No memory location 0 shows in the CHIRP file. 73 Andy From: peter.fontneau(a)icloud.com <peter.fontneau(a)icloud.com> Sent: Monday, August 7, 2023 12:58 PM To: Andy Zaayenga <andy(a)zaayenga.net>; chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: Re: [chirp_users] FTM-3100R Check to see if you have something entered in the Skip column of Chirp. https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MemoryEditorColumns Skip The scan skip mode for the channel.

[chirp_users] Legacy support question--Programming Talkpod A36+
by Jim Pruitt 07 Aug '23

07 Aug '23

I am still using the last legacy version of Chirp. I just acquired a Talkpod A36+ but can't find how to program it manually and hooking it up to Chirp can not talk to the radio but Talkpod is not in the list. I tried Baofeng UV5R but that did not work. Has anyone else programmed the Talkpod A36+ using Chirp? I tried searching for programming instructions to do it manually but all hits were to a youtube video and used Chirp. Thank you. Jim Pruitt

[chirp_users] Programming ICOM IC-7100
by Michael Nadler KI7QIB 06 Aug '23

06 Aug '23

I cannot get CHIRP to properly program an ICOM 7100. Can someone provide the explicit steps they use to program their ICOM IC-7100? Computer, running Windows 10, is connected to the 7100's Remote port via USB cable. CHIRP works fine programming a Kenwood D710G in live mode. I'm following the same steps: - Download from the radio - use "help me" to find the com port - set Vendor/model to ICOM/IC-7100 - tab opens with a copy of what's programmed in the radio - Import from file... - select the CSV file with several hundred entries - click Import - random channels are programmed; others show red numbers, which is an error indication Can no longer download from radio -- the program reports "permission error". I have to restart CHIRP in order to download from the radio. After the restart and download, if I use cut/paste to update say 20 entries -- entries are programmed randomly -- same result as with import. I've searched the mail archives -- some people report problems, tentative solutions are proposed (without documenting specific steps), but no one posts any resolution. This radio programs perfectly with RT Systems software. But their software uses clone mode, not live mode. -- Michael Nadler KI7QIB

[chirp_users] Interesting item with Baofeng GT-5R, others? Duplex setting
by Ken Hansen 30 Jul '23

30 Jul '23

Hello all, I programmed my GT-5R with CHIRP-Next and all was fine, except when I tried to program a simplex channel in my radio to access my SHARI AllstarLink node. In the memory tab, I set "Duplex" to "off", as the logical choice among "+", "-", "split", and "off". But when I tried to transmit after loading that channel into my radio, it would not transmit (no RF, display color didn't change). So I went in, looked hard at the settings, and discovered there was another option lurking in plain sight - " " (blank). When I selected (blank) and loaded the radio with the modified channel, it worked fine (TX as expected, in simplex). If I look at the (actually pretty good) GT-5R manual that shipped with the radio, it says I have three choices for that field, menu item 25, SFT-D: "OFF [0]" TX = RX (simplex) "+ [1]" TX higher than RX freq "- [2]" TX lower than RX freq There's no mention of "split" or "off". In short, the only valid options appear to be "-", "+", and "off", which I guess could be set to " " (blanks). I just thought I'd share this here, I'll open an issue on the chirp-next website to get this fixed. Ken, N2VIP

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-65 No upload, not a CSV tab issue - Download OK
by Peter.jay12 30 Jul '23

30 Jul '23

I’ve scanned several monthly archives for "FT-65" and separately for “upload”. The only reports I can find is that users are trying to upload a CSV tab (a common problem) and not the tab downloaded from the radio. I’ve added my channels to the FT-65 download tab and still no joy uploading. Im using a Mac OS Ventura 13.5 and an RTsystems (ZRT-USB-55) with current drivers (verified with tech support) working in the Mac. Chirp downloads from the radio without any issue. I see both TX and RX displayed on the radio and CLONE OK but no changes are made to the memory locations. I’ve reset the radio to factory defaults and made only a single change to a memory channel in Chirp to limit any input error without success. Probably something simple but I just don’t see it. Any thoughts?

[chirp_users] Pofung P8UV programming
by eric.fort＠fortconsulting.org 27 Jul '23

27 Jul '23

A friend of mine, not knowing any better acquired 2 pofung P8UV radios, FCC ID: 2AJGM-P51UV. The fact that the FCC's own website ( https://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid ) shows no record of this ID (though interestingly https://fcc.io does?!!!!!, now who owns FCC.io?) leaves me a bit concerned..... But that's another topic. I'm trying to figure out how to program these to at least listen to other things than the channels they came with. The supported radio's list says P8UV _(use Radioddity UV-5G)_ but that does not work. I get "Error communicating with radio, Radio did not respond.". That said, I have verified the correct serial port being used and followed the directions about turning the radio on and off, etc. The radio is on and everything plugged in as far as I can tell properly but I still get the above error after repeated attempts. Chirp works fine programming my ANYTONE UV5888UVIII. Ideas, Thanks, Eric

[chirp_users] Using The Keyboard On Radio List
by K0LNY 25 Jul '23

25 Jul '23

Hey Group, I'm sure most folks here use Chirp with the computer's mouse or touchpad, but there is an annoying thing with the keyboard, and I'm hoping those who develop Chirp might be able to address this, and I wonder if it is annoying to others. I wouldn't call it a bug, because I'm guessing most users haven't experienced it. But in the radio model list, when I'm down arrowing to find my model, a dialog pops for every model, and reads: Experimental driver Tested and mostly works, but may give you issues when using lesser common radio variants. Proceed at your own risk, and let us know about issues! Do not prompt again for Yaesu FT-25R OK * So this dialog is okay, but in prior Chirps, it only popped up once you selected your model and clicked okay. I'm guessing that most people typically just roll their pointer to the model and then get that message just one time. But when your model is 10 models down the list, it is quite annoying to have to uncheck the box and then okay. Can this dialog be moved to after the okay is clicked on a model, like it was before? What do others think? Thanks. Glenn A man with a clock always knows what time it is. A man with two clocks is never sure. -- A derivative of Segal's law
