[chirp_users] chirp issue with IC92AD
by Richard E Ravich 20 Sep '14

20 Sep '14

Interesting problem -- I had one of those older USB to serial cables that had the old Prolific chip in it and it was blocked by the newest drivers that are in Microsoft, so I purchased a Plugable USB to serial converter which is supposed to have the later version of the Prolific chip in it. I tried it using the RS92 software from Icom and it works just fine, but using it with chirp, it appears not to be communicating with the radio because if I disconnect the radio, I get the same information back as I do if the radio is connected -- all invalid. I don't suspect that the problem is in the cable, but it could be the issue and maybe I need to go out and buy a third cable with the acceptable chip in it to get chirp to work. Does anyone know what the voltage of the signals are coming from an IC92AD? Are they "true" RS232 signals (ie +12 to -12 volts) or are they TTL voltages 0 to +5 volts? Is there a way to tell the Prolific chip that these are TTL voltages and not RS-232 voltages? Maybe that would help some people. de WD6FIE Richard Ravich

Not enough information to be 100% sure what is wrong, but the most common problem with CSV files is an incorrect number of commas, especially the trailing commas at the end of each line. Excel is terrible about not putting all the necessary commas on the end of a line -- Excel reads such files fine, but Chirp and many other programs insist on having all the columns accounted for. -----Original Message----- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2014 13:33:47 -0700 From: Prepared Ham <ad(a)preparedham.com> Subject: Re: [chirp_users] chirp, new Baofeng/pofung BF-F8HP and importing data from RT Systems software To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Message-ID: <F61074ED-C3B3-4B5C-9C05-D0C49F08E9E3(a)preparedham.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii OK Update time To the image file from the radio into Chirp Exported a CSV file.

[chirp_users] chirp, new Baofeng/pofung BF-F8HP and importing data from RT Systems software
by Prepared Ham 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hey all Got the new Baofeng BF-F8HP radio. Download the daily build suggest by the seller on Amazon. Got Chrip installed. Radio image loaded to Chirp OK Question is I have RT Systems software with all the data from my Powerwerx DB-750X loaded and I would like to import into Chirp and load the the F8HP. I have tried exporting as a CSV file from RT Systems, but the Chirps give an error on import. There are many more columns in RT with data than Chirp has and they are in a different order. I have search through several months of posts and did not find anything specific to my needs. Can some one direct me to a post or youtube video showing how to move the data from the RT software to the Chrip program that will function with the new BF-F8HP. Also I see that this radio has only 120 memory channels is that correct? Respectfully AD Sent from my iPad

Re: [chirp_users] CHIRP won't open (UV-82) (Robin)
by Antoon Rubbens 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Helle Robin, welcome to the group! Although I don't have a ready solution for your problem, I want to make clear that you don't need the cable connected to your computer te be able to start Chirp. Chirp is just a program, that will run at any time. It only needs the cabe (or more exactely a COM-port) to communicate with the radio. So, as long as you do not need to communicate with the radio (eg. because you want to edit a file) is will not matter if the cable is connected or not. Having said that, please disconnect te cable and see if Chirp starts correctly. This way you will be able to check if it is a Chirp problem or a cable problem that you have. When it looks like a Chirp problem, please try the stable version. I also use that version and it will work with the UV-82 (I use one). To check if the cable is installed correctly, please check your Device Manager, Ports (COM & LPT). Your cable should be listed there. It will also mention the COM-port-number that you will need to select in Chirp when you want to communicate with the radio later. I hope this helps! 73's Antoon (PA2AR). 2014-09-11 21:00 GMT+02:00 <chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com>: > 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.

Good evening all, Thanks for adding me to the group. This is my first msg to the group! I recently purchase 3 Baofeng UV-82 with the original Baofeng programing cable. I followed the instruction to the letter on on http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_CHIRP.php#start to installed the driver and the CHIRP software.

[chirp_users] VX-7R
by Rob Gowler 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

HI all. I had such good luck with the Chirp forum (Jim) helping me with my Wouxun I thought I'd try my luck with the Yaesu VX-7R. I have an FTDI chipped cable. I am able to download from radio without problem. I can edit channels/freqs in Chirp, but I am unable to upload back to the radio. The radio starts to go through the cloning process (upload), but it gets hung up about 3/4 of the way through the process (according to the chirp status bar). The radio just says Clone error. Chirp freezes up, and needs to be forced quit. I am using a mac, 10.9.4 and a chirp daily build from about a week ago. This radio is just a back up to my Wouxun at this point as my Wouxun's TX and RX are leaps and bounds better than my Yeasu! Thanks in advance. Rob

[chirp_users] Regarding Android (Don't hit me)
by Chuck Hast 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

I know that the present developers are not working with Andriod as it is quite a bit of work and changes to the code, but I did see someone or some comments to the effect that someone maybe picking it up, as a fork or a separate solution. I no longer carry a laptop, I use a tablet for all of my travel work, the only reason I would carry a laptop is to program my radio. But with the airlines charging for everything now, you have to measure what you carry. If someone is working on a Android version I would like to see if there is anyway I can help, more than anything else perhaps doing testing. I have a IC=92 that I can test on.

Hello ! With Debian, package for daily is called "chirp-daily" instead of "chirp". Package "chirp" is provided by the distro. Package "chirp-daily" has been downloaded by myself and installed with command "dpkg -i chirp-daily". After installation, the command to launch daily is "chirpw". With PPA for Ubuntu added, I suppose (and only suppose) : -> apt-get install chirp for stable -> apt-get install chirp-daily for daily Hope it will be usefull for you. 73 ! Matthieu F4ACU JN07JG

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.

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

[chirp_users] Baofeng BF8-F8HP Firmware Error
by Brian 16 Aug '14

16 Aug '14

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 ? I did try to use the UV5r settings as I do with my BF8-8+ and the radio downloaded, but again I could not upload.. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks , Brian KM4CMY

[chirp_users] Chirp will download from FT-60, but not upload.
by ws6ta＠cox.net 14 Aug '14

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...? Thanks in advance and 73 AndyG7UHN

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?

Then enable "Hide Unused Fields". Now unused fields will be blank. You won't need "no tone" because there will be no tone value listed (it will be blank).

[chirp_users] IC-2200H - error message when trying to download
by Marcelo XQ6BQ 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Hello, maybe someone can give me some light... I was looking everywhere for an answer but found nothing, so apologies if this has been discussed before. Latest CHIRP, Windows 7, Prolific driver OK. Brand new USB (Prolific) cable for IC-2200H, connector to rig seems to fit well. I've used CHIRP with Baofeng UV-5R and Yaesu FT-60R, worked perfect. Now, when connecting IC-2200H to PC and trying to download memories, this message appears: An error has occurred Failed to communicate with the radio: Unexpected response from radio. I don't have a spare cable or another IC-2200H to check if the problem is there. Perhaps I'm not following the proper sequence to download data from this particular radio? 1) Connect cable to radio and to PC 2) Launch CHIRP 3) While pushing [M/CALL], turn power ON (“CLONE” appears on the radio's display) 4) Go to CHIRP's "Download from radio" menu but touch nothing yet 5) Push [S.MW ] on the radio. “CL OUT” appears on the display. 6) Click OK to CHIRP dialog... Then it briefly shows the small "cloning" window and then the error message. Any suggestions? Thanks!! 73, Marcelo XQ6BQ
