[chirp_users] Anytone 3318UV-A
by John Kellas 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

Have been trying the OEM Software for the Anytone 3318UV-A, and it does not appear you can import a .CSV file. So naturally the next step is to investigate whether CHIRP is able to communicate with this model yet? Regards, John

[chirp_users] FW: Stupid noob problem, any help out there?
by bob 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Seems Jens may have found the problem as a bug and may have a fix. Surprised it is a bug as it's so basic to operations. But I'm glad it's a bug in a way since at least I'm not going insane! I am a software/hardware engineer by trade myself, but never learned python as I never really had a need to (too many other languages/toolsets to keep in my limited brain!!). Interesting how useful an appl like this can be made with it. Curiosity may have me looking for the fix in the code repo. Jens, your note also clued me into the debug log that I was also unaware of, which I posted here for completeness just in case his fix is something else. The edit of a "new" unused memory and it's exception can readily be seen in the log by looking for "unknown7" in the log. I guess I just keep looking for the next build. Thanks Jens and Dan, -bob

This has got to be something stupid I am doing. its just too obvious. Using VX-3, have about a dozen frequencies programmed. 1. Uploaded into .img file. 11 memories filled from radio (from manual programming), all is well 2. Created list of many new frequencies into csv file, imported from repeater db, all is well. 3. Trying to import csv into img file. but. a. Trying to import starting at memory 20 and up (to leave my original programming along and give some room). b. however, cannot import anything that is at entry 12 or beyond, nothing seems to happen. 4. I CAN import into a memory IF it is one of the first 12 that initially came in on the upload from the radio. a. In Import from file dialog, all records are checked/selected. 5. Memories mapped from CSV source location 1 mapped to target "to" location started at 20 do nothing. 6. Do nothing but change the from/to mapping to overwrite those 1st 12 that I had in the VX-3 when I uploaded, and all is well. It will overwrite the first 12 memories as one would expect but nothing else. 7. Seems like nothing I do will "allow" the import to any "blank" or unused memories that weren't part of the uploaded image. a. Memories 1-11 show in a yellowish color in the "import from file" dialog. b. In file/memory list viewer dialog (memories 12 and up) are greyed out. I also simply tried the following and couldn't even do this, which has nothing to do with any imports.. 1. Take my vx-3 image file (.img) and open it up. 2. Turn on "show empty" memories 3. It has the 11 memories already programmed (manually) as mentioned above. 4. Try to edit memory 11, all is well 5. Try to edit (empty) memory 12, cant add/change. 6. Try to add memory past the 11 already in place a. Selecting memory 11, right click, select "insert row below" 7. Same, nothing happens doesn't appear I can "insert" squat. Almost as if the memory slot is empty, I cannot edit it nor import, nothing. But that cant possibly be right. I'm totally toast unless of course all I want to do is modify the 11 existing memories that came in on the upload. I must be missing something quite silly. very frustrating - any help out there oh Obeewan's of chirp? What does "Auto" do in the import dialog? How does "special channels" work ( in .img dialog box/editor )? -bob

[chirp_users] Kenwood TM-281 Error

I'm running the daily build from 2014/02/16 and trying to connect my Kenwood TM-281 on Arch Linux.

[chirp_users] Programming Yaesu FT7900
by Dave Cavanaugh 14 Feb '14

14 Feb '14

I am having trouble programming my radio via the programming cable. I can get the radio into Clone mode by pressing the MHz PRI button on startup. However, it won't go into TX or RX by pushing the LOW/ACC or V/M MW button as described in the "cloning" section of the manual. When I start Chirp and go to "download from radio" it gives me the box with Port com 3, radio Yaesu and Model FT-7800. When I try to download the profile from the radio I get the error message "failed to communicate with the radio: Failed to read header (0). Now what? Thanks Dave KG7HBQ

I recently got this radio and today the programming cable came. I now see that there is not a Chirp listing for this particular radio. Will another Yaesu radio's setting work, or do I need to use the Yaesu software (which I didn't order as I got my cable from Amazon)? I have a bunch of repeaters I want to program in and would like to use the same basic file as I use in my Baofeng HTs and that I used in my Anytone before it crapped out and I returned it. Thanks

[chirp_users] Linux users survey
by Dan Smith 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

Hi all, I'm looking for some feedback from those of you that run CHIRP on Linux. Specifically, I want to determine if there is enough demand for integrated build support for Fedora, debian, etc packages in our process. If so, I can do it, but if not many people care then it's probably not the best use of our time. Additionally, the survey includes some questions about desktop environments, just to get an idea of what/where people are running it. Note that this survey is for Linux *distro* use only. Please don't fill out the survey indicating that you want CHIRP to run on a device that runs Linux under the covers (like android). Here's the survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Z99WHK5 Thanks! --Dan

[chirp_users] General inquiry on adding "settings"
by chirp.cordless＠xoxy.net 02 Feb '14

02 Feb '14

Before I start, this is less a request to give me something for free, more an inquiry whether doing part of the job is enough to get someone else to finish it, and how that might work. I haven't seen this kind of development meta-discussion, so here goes: I'm inquiring about adding Chirp control of feature settings as has been done on a few radios. I can see it's a separate significant project for each radio, but there's some general infrastructure in place since it's been done for some, and presumably the first one was the hardest. Since I'll get asked, my interest is my radios, Yaesu FT-60 & FT-8800. I'm an old unix C hacker, with a bunch of shell and a healthy exposure to a number of others, but I retired before OOLs became needed to use on a regular basis. I can sort of read the Chirp Python source, but I'm thinking there's too much to learn to contribute code. I expect that the first step is to map out the settings in the data stream. For example, the FT-60 seems to have 56 set parameters, most of which can take from 2 to a half dozen or so values. A few, such as repeater shift or tone value seem to be multi-bit data fields that one hopes are encoded binary values that be reverse-engineered with a few samples, and described. I guess the process would be to change a setting via the radio's buttons, read into chirp. and record what changed in the data stream. Rinse and repeat. If someone (me, for example) were to do that and provide the map, would that likely be enough to have someone else pick it up and code it into Chirp? And if so, what form should the 'map' take? Several hundred complete radio images seems less than optimal to me, for several reasons, most obviously that it still needs interpretation to code from. I could probably do a Python const data structure or equivalent if pointed to an example. Just looking to understand this aspect of the development process. Thanks and regards, -dan

Jim (KC9HI): Yes, the GT-3 is referenced, not CT. The Prolific driver 3.3.2.105 dated 10/27/2008 works great on the GT-3 FTDI driver 2.8.30.0 dated 7/12/2013 does NOT work on the GT-3 Jim, the reason I use the FTDi cable and driver is that on my main HP DV7 Windows 7 laptop I use, It refuses to take the older Prolific drivers no matter what I do. I originally had it working and something blew it away. I have used several driver versions that "remove" the Prolific driver before re-installing, but no dice it would not install the older driver. I once removed each driver file component by hand and got it working, but it got blown away again. So I gave up and went to the FTDi series. I love the FTDI cables and drivers. Just disappointed the GT-3 does not work David ND1Q I assume that you meant GT-3. Interesting. We usually recommend FTDI based programing cables to avoid issues like this. Please tell us which driver version does not work and which driver version does. Jim KC9HI

Yes, John, they use the same cable. No, John, the Radio did not respond error is not one described on the miklor site. My plug is trimmed and installed all the way in. The radio was turned on. The FTDi device driver is compatible with the programming cable, works fine on 6 various models of the UR5. The FTDi Programming cable is not defective, works fine on 6 various models of the UR5. So, I appreciate your thoughts, but no, standard errors we have all worked through is not the issue here. Thats why my naïve statement was that it must be a timing issue not seen on the older prolific driver but is seen by the FTDi driver. But then, I am not a developer working on Chirp software. David ND1Q The GT-3 and UV5R use the same programming cable. Is it possible the error could be one of the following described at: http://www.miklor.com/HT/HT-ErrorMess.php John K3NXU

Yes, if you have a Baofeng CT-3, you can program it as a ur5 IF you are using the older prolific driver. I use cables with the FTDI chip and drivers as my main programming cables. These do not work on the CT-3. Work great on 6 various ur5 models I have with no problems at all. The CT-3 will go into error saying the radio did not respond. Must be a timing issue I would guess.

I do not believe the UV-5R family of radios have any way to do split tone. One the other hand, there is NEVER any actual NEED to do split tone, because there is NEVER any actual NEED to use a Rx Tone at all. Just program the correct tone, and stop putting the radio into TSQL mode because TSQL mode is totally unnecessary, you only need the tone on transmit, there is no need to have activate ToneSQuelch on receive.

If you downloaded the .exe file just run it by clicking on it. If it is the .zip file then you have to extract the files and run setup.

[chirp_users] FT8900 cable
by Milton Hywatt 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

Does anyone know if the cable for this radio has seperate TX and RX data Pins? I want to use a spare cable for an Anytone AT5888UV which has TX and RX combined. I thought I might just put that signal wire on both the RX and TX pins of the Yaesu's mini 6 pin plug if it has separates. Will that work, before I start tearing cables apart?

I admit I'm fishing around here a little but maybe someone can help. I'm helping someone else (remotely) troubleshoot their CHIRP installation. He says that the binary (unzipped, daily build) won't open on his Macbook. I've mentioned the Error logging window that may be holding things up and he's going to check for that, but is there anything else I should suggest?

[chirp_users] Query then Import
by Milton Hywatt 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

Haven't tried to import just one complete row from a county database but I'll assume that this single row needs to be pasted into your radio's existing list the written to the radio. ? Would be a nice if you could just query from your data source and then write directly to the radio adding to the existing image. But I guess these radios are basically all or nothing. If you upload one row even from a query, it's like uploading any image with just one row. You end up with a radio with one channel.

If it is not in the list it has not been Implemented yet. Please give them time to work on it or send in the radio to them to allow them to update it to work. Please do not try another vetsion of radio that has already been added. It could cause you more harm than good Sent from my LG Mobile "David S.

[chirp_users] Problems with Yaesu -- FT60 and FT-8800
by Basil Copeland 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

[I apologize if this is a duplicate post, but I sent it yesterday, and it is not showing in the archives. The response to my request to join the list got sent to my Google "Promotions" box and I just now go around to authenticating my request to join the list.] I just purchased some Valley Enterprise/FTDI cables to program my Yeasu radios (the two mentioned in the subject header, plus a VX-7) and so far am 0 for 2 getting Chirp to work in programming the two I tried (FT-60 and FT-8800), with the same result for both: Chirp would READ from the radio fine, and create a "spreadsheet" based on what it read; but when I try to WRITE to the radio, the screen blinks a rapid succession of (apparently) windows, with a final error message saying something about being unable to "read echo" and then "bad cable?" Well, I think we can rule out "bad cable?" as I grabbed a copy of Commander for the FT-60 and it was able to read and write to the FT-60 flawlessly, using the same FTDI chip cable that Chirp balked with. I'd much prefer to minimize the different kinds of software I have to use to program my radios, hence my interest in Chirp. I have used it successfully with Baofeng UV-5R radios. I'd love to see support for the Quansheng TG-UV2 (what's up with that, BTW...from reading the Wiki, seem to be plenty of people wanting support for it, and offering to lend radios), but I've got the Chinese software working for it, so there's that. Next up is to figure out how to program a Tonfa UV-985 (which I would imagine is nowhere on Chirp's horizon, though I've read that it has been programmed with Chirp and a UV-5R BFB-293 image file, so I may try that). Meanwhile, back to the Yaesu radios. If it matters, I'm using Windows 7, and a recent daily build of Chirp (20140102). Basil KE5GAE

The Yaesu FT-2900 is not listed among the supported radios on the main page. Is it close enough to the FT-2800 for CHIRP to work with it? Basil KE5GAE

[chirp_users] FT-817 Clone Rx error
by Michael Kent 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

I've used Chrip sucessfully with a Baofeng for a while, but I'm running in to issues with my F-817. I've recieved an image ok from the radio buy putting into clone mode hitting a and downloading the image. I've then edited the image. As soon as I press the C button on the radio for upload it just says "CLONE MODE" "Error" . Has anyone else had the same issue? Thanks M6OSI
