[chirp_users] Uv-6 programming issue
by jones4ms gmail 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Im new to the forum but not to radios....anyone have any experience with the baofeng uv-6? I have a lot of radios im trying to get programmed and cant seem to get through to the radio i get an error msg with chirp and a radio refussed clone through the native software im using a cloned cable and have since bought a new one from HRO which still gives the same error msg. I know the driver is correct because it sees the the cable and the software sees the radio due to the error msg. But i am at a loss and dont know what to do to get these things to upload/download i have a uv-5r and it works perfect on both sets of software...so any help would be appreciated Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Smartphone <div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com> </div><div>Date:09/02/2014 02:57 (GMT-07:00) </div><div>To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> </div><div>Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Only old version of chirp installing </div><div> </div>Take a look at the "Running CHIRP Under Linux" page. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux I would really recommend that you install and use the latest CHIRP daily build though.

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-20140903 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #296 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make a trivial copyright date update This just covers over the fact that I didn't reference #1835 in a merge commit so that the build tests won't complain. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Merge Marco's locale fix [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] [locale] Correct some parameter errors in translations seen fixing #1835 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] [th9800] Add driver to read and write .dat files for TYT-TH9800. #1353 This patch adds support for reading and writing .dat files compatible with the TYT TH-9800 manufactuer's software. I don't have a TH-9800 available to work on the upload/download portion of this driver, but this should provide a head start for anyone who wants to work on that. (I suspect the contents of these .dat files will be equivalent to Chirp .img files for the same radio.) Changes for Build #297 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] [th9800] Fix make_supported.py crash. #1353 make_supported.py does not provide pipe as a str like a normal instantiation, so it must be supported specifically in the Radio init.

I see that someone offered to loan his FT-1500M several months ago. Has anything come of this? If needed, I would gladly loan my radio. If someone will PM me the address, I'll send it off. How long does it usually take to add a radio to Chirp? Joe Gray W5JG

New Troop here. I am very glad there is a Chirp. This UV5R is driving me up the walls. It took me awhile to get it programming with but then started working good. Then later it refused to program as it was working. I think it had something to do with shutting down my pc. Worked hard with many different trys and finally got programming working again seeminglt by deleting then reinstalling Chirp. Now programming has stopped working again. Says radio will not respond. So,deleted Chirp and reinstalled. That didnt work this time. Any advice much appreciated!

[chirp_users] Kenwood TH-K2
by John KB2SCS 23 Aug '14

23 Aug '14

Hi All I have only been on this reflector for a month or so. So if this was already discussed or is on the Chirp web site my apologizes. If you have a Kenwood TH-K2 before you can program the radio using any software including Chirp you need to go to menu item number 31 (PC) and change it to "On". When you have finished programming your TH-K2 you will then need to go to menu item 31 (PC) and turn it to "Off" otherwise your speaker mike will not function properly. I found this out today when I was unable to program the HT using a known good cable and Slacko Puppy Linux for the os. Searched all around the web and finally opened the radio manual which explained about menu item 31 Hope this is of some help to some other TH-K2 owner. Thank you for your time in reading this E-Mail. -- Let us hope we never witness the "Silence Of The Hams" 73 DE John KB2SCS Packet: KB2SCS(a)WA2PNU,#NLI.NY.USA.NOAM E-Mail: kb2scs(a)arrl.net Web Page: http://www.qsl.net/kb2scs

Hello, I am nat able to download from my radio using Chrip. My radio is a Baofeng uv-82. It is a new radio and I am new to chirp. My OS is windows 7. The cable is a usb programming cable form Baofeng via amazon. The cable drivers are installed corectly. I can open the com port under Tera Term and shorting the TX and RX contacts togethter I can get it echo what I type. I can also probe the connection and see resonable data on the O-scope. I have tryed the stable as well as the nightly build of chirp. When I try to download I get the error "the radio did not respond". It is hard to see but I think the cable is seated al the way in. With just the cable and tuning on the radio, It will not key but as soon as i plug the usb cable in the radio will key. I have also tried to download from the radio on "copying" mode by holding down the 2 key while turning on the power. If I do this with tera term opend to the right com port I get a repeating set of bytes that look to be binary (garbaled ascii chars). Any Ideas? thanks, kk6onl

While attempting to program my new Baofeng BF-F8HP radio I received the following error message Unsupported firmware version: `N5R-30 F8HP-1 '. I was able to download from the radio but not upload. This is using the daily build dated 8/12/14 which supports the radio. Please any ideas ?

[chirp_users] Chirp will download from FT-60, but not upload.

14 Aug '14

Having issues uploading from Chirp to a Yaesu FT-60. Have tried two different computers, both with serial ports, using a serial to 4-pin programming cable. Both computers are running Windows XP Pro SP3. Chirp successfully installed on both machines and will read from the radio without issue. When I try to upload back to the radio, even the file it just read, I get a message that "An error has occurred - Failed to communicate with radio: Radio did not respond" The radio was in the RX mode at the time, is fully charged and works otherwise. Suggestions? Thanks! Keith-

[chirp_users] Unused Fields Option and the missing NONE selections
by Mike Morrow 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

Well thanks for the tongue lashing (that's a little overboard) but it was a little lecture on the "Hide Unused Fields" checkbox and how it is now going to be the default and solve all my problems. IT DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM!!! Read on to learn why. So I load up my data and change the option to hide unused fields. OK, all those pesky 88.5s in the sheet magically disappear. OK, great. But then I change one of the PLs to 100.0. Oops, since there are no horizontal lines to help guide me across a sea of blankness, I got one off and meant to change the next one down. OK, just set it back off by ... uhhhh... THERE IS NO "NONE" selection. I CANNOT SET IT BACK TO OFF!! Aww nuts, now I have to either delete this memory and enter it in again or kill all my updates and reload the sheet and start again. Neither is a good thing to have to do because of a missing option in a box on a sheet without any guide rules (lines) to help me get it right in the first place. You see, good programming practice is good programming practice. Band-Aids are NOT GOOD PROGRAMMING PRACTICE. Not sorry about the screaming. I worked in computers for 30+ years. I was trained and also taught myself and taught classes about good programming practice. And what CHIRP is trying to do with this Band-Aid is just plain wrong. If you can set something on, you must be able to set it off, too. As I said. If I had produced something like this and put it out to the field, I would have been fired! Now it is time that someone, somewhere in the organization realized that there HAS to be a NONE selection to turn off a PL or any other selection that is no longer needed or was entered by mistake. And as far as I can tell, that is not possible since there is no NONE selection. Am I wrong? If so, I apologize in advance and await another tongue lashing. Thanks to all for all the hard work but someone missed a standard design point on multiple of the columns. Mike

[chirp_users] Win 8.1 and prolific driver and Baofeng UV 82
by Wes 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

I was able to use my cable with the counterfeit chip and the correct driver while using Win 8. Everything worked fine. I upgraded to 8.1 and now the wrong driver keeps coming back even when I update the driver. I can delete and or upgrade, still the same even rebooting, even turning off auto updates. The correct driver will show up, without the exclamation mark, and within seconds of plugging in the cable, the screen will flash 2 or 3 times and the driver will show up with the exclamation mark. Any thoughts?

[chirp_users] Yaesu VX-3: Received incomplete image from radio...
by Andrew Webster 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Hello all, I have a new Yaesu VX-3 and I am currently failing to get Chirp to read the download from the radio. I have a laptop with a real serial port running Linux Mint 17, connecting to the VX-3 by serial cable. I can start a download from the radio and Chirp appears to be receiving it with a moving progress bar but, at the final moment of download, when the radio completes its send I get the following error from Chirp: "Failed to communicate with the radio: Received incomplete image from radio" I get this error on Chirp versions 0.3.1 and 0.4.0 Forgive me if this has been asked before, I think I've searched everywhere I can and I've looked over the last 6 months archive of the mailing list for relevant thread titles. The closest I found was this open issue on a Yaesu VX-8: http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/1511 The VX-3 has obviously been around for some time so I'm hoping this issue has come up before and someone can point me in the right direction...?

[chirp_users] IC-2200H - error message when trying to download (Marcelo XQ6BQ)Re: chirp_users Digest, Vol 67, Issue 25

Rolan, W3FDK here, I used the speaker jack to 9 pin D connector to serial to USB (FTDI ) and turned on the radio and on Chirp > Radio and selected Icom and auto detect and it downloaded the memory data. The IC2200H screen displayed CL OUT then back to normal display after download and all the memories and DSTAR data was there as far as I could tell. Maybe what was described in the trouble query is for rig to rig clone?

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '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-20140724 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #284 [Dan Drogichen <chirp.cordless(a)xoxy.net>] Allow specification of the hexdump address format Further edits to patch from Dan Smith # Fri Jul 18 07:58:00 2014 -0700 Change default addrfmt to %(addr)03i as discussed. Catch several exceptions resulting from format string errors observed in testing, and use the default format, as discussed. Revised the README.developers entry for hexdump_addrfmt as discussed. Alphabetized the README.developers directive descriptions, and made a few other minor edits as per the related #1767 patch submitted # Tue Jul 15 11:40:21 2014 -0700 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Allow specification of the hexdump address format This allows developers to override the address format used during whole-diff (and potentially other) hexdump operations. Idea and much of the implementation borrowed from Dan Drogichen Related to #1767 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] [FT7800] Fix TSQL-R tone mode support Fix #221 Changes for Build #285 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-5R] Update Firmware Version Detection Fix firmware version block length (14 characters instead of 16). The firmware version check was failing on characters outside of the firmware version block. Swap the check order for BFB and BFS in the firmware version string so the first occurance will always be selected. The previous method was allowing different firmware versions to be detected as being the same. Related to bug #1751 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UI] Update default for "Hide Unused Fields" - 2nd attempt Set "Hide Unused Fields" to be enabled by default #1779 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] [VX170] Fix last patch My last patch to FT7800 broke this radio because they all depend on FTx800Radio Broken fixing #221

[chirp_users] VX-7R Issues
by Tom Balaban 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hello, First, I am a lurker who reads almost every posts and who appreciates Chirp in the infrequent times that I need to reprogram my HTs. Thanks to all for your hard work, My current issue is I am reprogramming a friend's radios (1 Yaesu VX-7R and 2 Baofeng UV-5Rs). My template was an .img file for my Baofeng UV-5Rs. I have an identical one for my Yaesu VX-6Rs. Reprogramming the Baofengs went perfectly but the VX-7R is driving me nuts. As a bit of background, we are bicycle race officials and work off of MURS channels. We like to have a full set of FRS/GMRS on our radios in reserve. So what has happened is on my VX-6R I see the MODE is set for NFM. Chirp will not accept this setting for the VX-7R so I changed it to FM before uploading it. Now on those frequencies set as ###.####, The VX-7R transmits a constant noise that sounds like an old telephone ring with a muffled ringer. It is unusable. However if I manually program the frequency in VFO mode it works great. I have attached all three .img files in hopes that someone will point me in the right direction. BTW, while trying to figure this out myself, I tried using AUTO in the MODE dropdown. The FM would flash then stay but at the very bottom of the input matrix a new LOC 1 would appear with AUTO but that line is greyed out. I saved the image and reloaded it and then Loc 1 showed AUTO but was still greyed out. The old Loc 1 was gone. This does not seem to be normal behavior. BTW, I am using Chirp Daily-20140719 on a Xubuntu netbook. had the same result using 0.4.0 on the netbook. I just tried it on a Win 8 box and it looks good (line with AUTO is not greyed out) but I'm not going to take the time to install the correct driver on a machine that will never travel with me to a bike race. The Win 8 version is Chirp 0.4.0. Thanks for taking the time to read this, Best Wishes, Tom

[chirp_users] Settings
by Dr. Whit Woodard 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

There seem to be several settings for the BaoFeng F8+ radio that are of not particular consequence. One that has been confusing me is the “Tone Mode” Doesn’t seem to work on “Tone.” Should I be doing “TSQL” instead? or what? Is there somewhere I can get an explanation of the various settings needed to program the radio. The template is quite different from the sample I have from a friend with another model. Any ideas? Thanks, Whit k3wb

[chirp_users] Tone, Tone Squelch, Pl, DPL, DCS
by Kenny Witt 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

Wow, lots of antidotal information. How about a simple explanation of the science. When a radio transmits, it emits a signal that can be received by another radio. In most radio receivers there is a circuit called "squelch". This circuit works by requiring a small amount of electrical energy to be present, before the receiving radio's speaker will be turned on. This keeps unwanted static from being heard all the time. Thus, squelch off.....static....squelch on....no static. If a signal is weak, open the squelch and listen to the weak signal. If the signal is strong, increase squelch and this will limit any signals ability to open the receiving radio's speaker....even to the point that it cannot be opened at all. Now..."Tone and Tone Squelch", add a circuit to the receiving radio that expects a certain sub-audible or digital signal riding along the transmitted radio signal before it will open up the speaker at all. This is what CTSS, PL, DPL, TONE SQUELCH and some other digital signaling circuits do. They set a requirement for that extra signal to be present, before the receiver will open up the speaker. Now, with that understood, you should not have too much trouble understanding how the transmitter radio works within any variant of this system. The transmitter must be set to emit the required tone, sub-audible tone, or digital signal that a receiver is expecting to hear, in order to enable the receiver's speaker. So, if I want to transmit using a repeater (which is a receiver coupled to a simultaneously transmitting transmitter) and that repeater's receiver is expecting to hear a particular sub-audible, or digital tone before it will open up it's receiver, then I must set my radio to transmit that tone in order to enable the repeater to hear my signal. Also, most repeaters transmit tones as well, so I can set my radio to require a particular signal before it will open up and allow me to hear the audio across my radio from the other radio, or repeater. This is good when some repeaters (or any transmitters) are close enough to each other that they occasionally (and un-wantedly) hear each other's transmissions. This type of tone encoding and decoding, using several, and sometimes multiple different methods gives the user many methods of controlling what they hear on the receiving radio. Of note, for clarity,I used the word "speaker" above, when in actuality, the limiting circuit can be in many different places within the receiving radio's audio circuit. Also, please note, there are as many different ways to use these methods as you can imagine......and I have not even touched 'DTMF' Hope this helps. Kenny KC4OJS Sent from my iPad

[chirp_users] Another question

I saved my template after uploading it to the radio and I need to make some changes, but I can’t seem to access the template when I open it. Is is not possible to amend the settings from the saved copy and then upload it to the radio?? Thanks, Whit k3wb

20 Jul '14

There are a few "variants" of the Wouxun UV-8D already out there - and now Powerwerx has received a new FCC ID number for a model with even newer features/firmware. This might be a case of "What works for some units may not work for others." This occurred with a Puxing model of two last year: You use the "newest software" and brick a radio ... Whatever model of '8D you submit to the CHIPR development team, it should be noted the precide version/date of its firmware - to attempt to eliminate problems down the line. Clint Bradford K6LCS

Hi; I know its out of the ham frequency bands, but I am allowed to use these bands. My problem is that the UV-5R will key up the transmitter but no audio will be sent. I use chirp to program the radio, in simplex mode? No tone, freq offsets 0.0 and the frequencys are correct. Any idea what I am doing wrong? It works (xmit and receive) with ham frequencies

[chirp_users] Show stopper on application startup [windows 7 64 bit]
by Eric Oyen 20 Jul '14

20 Jul '14

ok, I had no choice but to try windows and jaws (again) to see if I could program my radios. so, I started with the latest daily build and installed it. then I tried to run it only to get a blank opening window. None of the alt keys for the various commonly used pulldown menu items would work. It sat there being as blank as a sheet of unused paper and was unresponsive to any command (including the enter key). Now, I use jaws and windows 7 here (like I have any choice) and because my computer has no display screen, there wasn't any visual help to get around this. So, I ask (again), how can the blind ham use this program in windows with jaws. Before anyone asks, I don't have any of my other machines here. Both were subjected to a massive power surge after one of the recent monsoon storms (direct hit to the power lines outside has a tendency to do that). what information I was able to find (via google) with regard to using this program on windows is, at best, lacking. Unfortunately, the software provided by the various chinese radio manufacturers is just as unusable. so, I ask (again) that the developer look at this as a much needed feature request and to please get it implemented. Basically, I would like to be able to use the software the same as anyone else (that being without someone to assist me). To that end, I am asking that this be done. BTW< are there any jaws scripts that are designed to work with chirp? thanks, -eric

I think I saw that it was coming. It there any way to get an estimate. The software that comes with the radio is fairly horrible. It has not decided to ignore all input so I cannot change the channels from the PC for now. Reinstall did not good. Will try a different computer next. Surely would like to see the update supporting the KG-UV8D. Thanks to all who work on this program! It is really nice to have all the programming for different radios in one place. Mike/W6XXX

The software for programming the radios is available from their website and works ok, however there is no ability to import from another source (ie anything I can spit out of Chirp). Has anybody used these radios with Chirp ? If not if I sample the coms traffic between the software and the radio can somebody identify the radio spec that I need to use in Chirp to get it to work / have it added ? Shane Australia ?

I am wondering if the vx160 is supported. I saw the post about the vx150 and was wondering if they might be the same? Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
