[chirp_users] Wouxun UV6X (Powerwerx) - read new radio, no settings available to unlock the menu?
by Rob Sullivan 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Is this expected, ie. do I really have to install the Windows software to unlock the Menu on a new UV6X Powerwerx radio? Chirp daily (1/15/2014) on linux reads the frequencies OK (after Download from Radio) OK, but the Chirp Settings tab is /entirely blank/ - there are no options, not even the one to enable the Menu. The box includes a warning paper that says the radio ships with Menu disapled (required for FCC Part 90 radio?), and that the Wouxun software must be first be used to download, select Menu Enabled, then rewrite to the radio in order to enable it. They also warn that third party software may brick the radio. After using the free Powerwerx software to read the radio, enable Menus, and write the radio, the result with Chirp is the same: the pre-loaded frequencies show up, but the Setup tab is blank. O/S is Ubuntu with current patches, etc. Am I missing something? I didn't try writing the radio with Chirp. A few days ago, I used Chirp to read and write a UV6D(v1) -- it worked fine. Thanks & 73, Rob

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R Frequency mod
by Tom Farrell 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Jim Unroe, "One thing you can do is use CHIRP to set either (or both or some combination) of the band limits to 100 MHz and 999 MHz." Could you send me instructions on how to do this? I could not find anywhere in the chirp menu settings to allow me to modify the band limits. I have a 127.8 Frequency I would like to attempt to program into my Baofeng UV-5R. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again, Tom Bench testing has shown the actual transmit range of an expanded 150/450 MHz UV-5R to be: VHF range 136 - 174 MHz expands to 127.8 - 176.0 MHz UHF range 400 - 520 MHz expands to 383.5 - 524.3 MHz Outside of that range, the radio would either not transmit or was unstable. Receiver coverage drops off sharply to zero outside the factory specified range. _________________________________________________________________ "Yes. The way CHIRP is packaged is different than it was when this "hack" was floating around." "One thing you can do is use CHIRP to set either (or both or some combination) of the band limits to 100 MHz and 999 MHz. That will allow you to key any STEP compatible frequency from 100.0000 MHz to 999.9975 MHz into the VFO. If you discover an out-of-band frequency that works for you, then you can program it into a channel manually and CHIRP will honor it just fine (just don't try to edit it within CHIRP)." Jim KC9HI

[chirp_users] .csv file import, fields not populating
by John Kellas 11 Jan '14

11 Jan '14

I have a file created in KG-UV Commander. If I export it as a .csv file, and then import it into CHIRP, none of the fields populate, irrespective if I tell it the model type is Wouxun UVD1P or UV6, and irrespective of the .csv output format such as using quotes or not, etc. ALso get this if I export from KG-UV6 Commander as well. The 'Name' field in the resultant .csv file says 'ERROR'. I know I can create a .csv file to work with successfully be reading from the radio first, but I was hoping by exporting the file from KG-UV Commander I could also move the Notes across to the .csv file in CHIRP and not have to re-write them all. I am also hoping that I can program all the frequencies I have in my UVD1P data bank in KG-UV Commander into my UV6D via CHIRP as well. Regards, John

[chirp_users] Programing issues with CHIRP and Baofeng UV-5RA
by Rick Hanzlik 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Perhaps this has been addressed in another post, if so I would appreciate a reference to it but for now, here is my issues: 1: When I try to use CHIRP with on my 64-bit Vista home machine, I am unable to communicate to the radio, as soon as I turn on the radio, it displays the greeting then immediately goes into transmit mode. I pretty sure it has something to do with the USB ports on the computer because when I try to communicate with another brand of radio (QUANSHENG TG-K4AT) the same thing happens; Driver: Prolific Version 3.4.48.272 dated 3/5/2013 Chirp version: 0.3.1 Baofeng firmware BFB297 USB cable: purchased from AMAZON along with the radio. 2: I can install the appropriate CHIRP software on my XP based netbook and the same USB cable and I am able to talk to the radio but I still have some issues: a) I am not able to program the non-frequency settings. the chirp software doesn't even show anything under that heading. b)When I upload my channel program to the radio, it will skip some memory locations even through i have the csv file set to have consecutive memory channel loaded. I have no problem using the netbook as my programing computer since I would normally have it with me anyway, but I would very much like to be able to change the radio non-frequency parameters.

[chirp_users] Linux Survey
by B Giff 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Dan, I participated in the survey, but would like to give some additional input. I am not a fan of Ubuntu or its derivatives, but I chose XUbuntu (and now Zorin for a new Chirp-live project I'm working on) partly because of the ppa for updating to the newest Chirp-daily. I'm sure I could make the Chirp Updater script download and install from the tarball, but it's a lot easier to use the repository. If Chirp-daily was available through a Debian repository, I'd seriously consider changing to a different distro for the liveCD. That being said, I run Aptosid on my computer and LMDE on the wife's, both with XFCE, and compile from the tarball. I have no problem working like that and I don't upgrade to the newest daily build every time one comes out. I probably wouldn't regularly update Chirp on my computer even if it was in the Debian repository. Unless there is a change to Chirp that affects security or a radio that I program, I don't update.

[chirp_users] UV-82 Support for MAC OSX

Hi, I have a Baofeng UV-5R, BF-F8, and a UV-82. The Mac OSX software works great with the UV-5R and the BF-F8, but it won’t work with the UV-82. I’m using the Baofeng USB Programming cable. I’ve noticed that the latest Chirp version for Windows includes support for the UV-82. I’ve tried the Windows version with the UV-82 and it works fine. I was wondering if there is a new version of Chirp in work for the MAC that would include support for the UV-82? Thanks!

[chirp_users] ? re 'duplex' field
by Benton Holzwarth 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

I'm helping organize a base set of frequencies -- a 'standard load' -- for our local CERT group, Tigard, OR. I've read a ton of posts and come up with a base set of guidelines that I'm hoping will cover the 'least common denominator' radio that someone might show up with. o Don't use row zero, some radios start at row-1 o Hold to 5 characters for the memory 'name' o Include the FRS and official frequencies as Rx only o Different radios have different numbers of memories, pack the highest priority bits into the lowest memory-rows. Some radios stop at 16 memory-rows, others go to 100 or 128 We'd like to load some Rx-only frequencies -- FRS, the local police forces and ambulance service that use UHF, but in Rx-only. When I set 'duplex' to 'off' Chirp says something about not all radios support this setting. o Is there a list of radios that do support? o If I try to program duplex-off into a radio that doesn't support it, what is the reaction from Chirp? Does it let me know there's a problem or just gloss over and make those frequencies tx-able? I'm trying to figure out how best -- across a wide field of radios -- to manage a set of frequencies that should be Rx-only. Duplex off/split/offset One solution seems to be to dial in 'split' pointing the tx-side to a harmless corner of the Amateur band. Thought? Benton 1jan14 -- KF7QLP benton(a)siletzbay.com

[chirp_users] New to list and a question
by Mike Lubrecht 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

Hi list members! Mike Lubrecht here from Snohomish County, Washington. I've just started using Chirp to attempt to coordinate the programming on some of my small HTs. I successfully programmed my Baofeng UV-5R, and was able to upload from my Yaesu VX-3 (not the "R" model.) Unfortunately, I haven't been able to download anything successfully to the Yaesu unit, after carefully following the sequence to put the radio into clone mode and wait for the download from my computer. Am I missing anything? I believe my drivers are all up to date. And since I was able to upload from the Yaesu, I'm assuming that the cable and drivers were working. Any hints would be greatly appreciated. My hope is to clone the Baofeng and Yaesu, using appropriate inport/export (or just cutting and pasting parameters between .img files). Thanks! Mike

[chirp_users] Baofeng V6
by Michael Walker 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

Hi All I know that this is a little off topic and this radio isn't supported by Chirp, but has anyone actually been able to program one? This is a 16 Channel VHF only unit. I've tried just about all the software from Baofeng that I can find, but I have not found anything that will talk to the radio. I am 'assuming' it is using a Kenwood cable configuration as well.

[chirp_users] saving settings other than just channel memories?
by eric oyen 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

greetings everyone, I am wondering if the chirp program saves more than just the channel memory fields to a csv file? I would like to have all settings from my UV5R saved so that I may use a text editor to make my modifications with. Its a lot simpler than trying to navigate the interface in Linux. Inquiring minds want to know! -eric

[chirp_users] some issues with recent daily biold..
by eric oyen 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

ok, I am using this program on Linux as it isn't screen reader friendly anywhere else. here's a couple of issues: 1. When importing from data sources, I cannot check or uncheck individual items 2. I cannot simply shift values down one channel (moving 3 to 2 , etc.). I use Ubuntu 13 precise (LTS version) with all packages updated. I also use ORCA screen reader as I am blind. SO, any chance of changing this so it works a little more nicely? btw, I am not the only blind ham around here that may have to use software to program a chinese radio (or even one of the others for that matter).. A lot of us (and there are quite a few thousand of us here in the US) would certainly appreciate it if the developer would address the accessibility issue on windows or OS X (as not many of us use Linux). Those of us blind hams who do use Linux would certainly appreciate a few small changes in the interface to make it a little more screen reader (using ORCA or emacspeak) friendly. there is an FAQ here: http://empowermentzone.com/NonvisualDevelopmentFAQ.htm there is an entry for python scripting there that would make it a lot easier to understand (and setup for accessible UI structures.. in fact, heres the FAQ in question: /Quote What tools are recommended for developing with the Python language? Install Python from http://python.org Install the wxPython package for creating accessible GUIs from http://wxPython.org For Windows development, install the Python for Windows extensions at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ Also install py2exe, a package for building stand-alone executables from http://py2exe.org In Python, code indentation is syntactically required rather than stylistically optional. The EdSharp editor includes features that help screen reader users manage indentation efficiently, available at http://EmpowermentZone.com/edsetup.exe Quote/ please give this your best consideration. thanks Eric (n7zzt)

[chirp_users] Chirp LiveCD
by B Giff 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

The Chirp LiveCD is now one year old and I have just returned from yet another trip to Afghanistan. I should now be able to update it more often than I have in the past. A new version is now available for download. This version has the latest Chrip-daily (18 Dec 2013) and the interface has been updated. I still recommend using the LiveCD as a LiveUSB. This allows you to easily update to the newest Chirp-daily and save your files. If you have been using previous versions as a LiveUSB there is no need to update to this version, however you may want to consider doing so because of the cleaner look. Thank you to those on the dev list who provided information on your programming cables. The script should now correctly detect all of the cables for which I received information. sourceforge.net/projects/chirplivecd/ Merry Christmas Bob

[chirp_users] Power level?
by Dave C 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

On my Baofeng Chirp files I have a "power" column available. This doesn't appear to be available for the Anytone 5888UV. Is it possible to bring this in? The Anytone defaults to full power unless I manually set it to a lower power setting and whenever I switch channels it goes back to high.
