I'm trying to download from RR via chirp and all I'm getting is the hourglass. No response from the programme. It is not locked up as I can close it, and I do have an account with RR. I left the programme running for 10 minutes with no response. Any clues? Thanks Les K4LEA

[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
by Jeff Williams 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

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] 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] OK, I have a Chirp question/comment
by Dave C 14 Dec '13

14 Dec '13

A friend and I have Baofeng H/Ts that we have been using for the past couple of weeks. They are all programmed with a Chirp file he put together with all of the local repeaters, plus a couple of simplex channels he uses for his church security. The security channels are on channel 0, 1 and 2. When I copied the Chirp file into my Anytone mobile, I couldn't hit the repeaters until I figured out all the channel numbers were offset by +1 number on the Anytone. Apparently the Anytone doesn't want to have a channel #0. Once I understood what happened it was easy enough to offset the channel numbers in the Anytone file to get them where they were supposed to be. I was wondering if this was normal for some radio memory registers to start with "0" and some with "1". Also my Anytone Chirp file sometimes hangs up or freezes, while I haven't had any problems with the Baofeng Chirp files. It usually freezes during a cut and paste operation or during an import or operation. Not a huge problem but sometimes annoying. Should I be downloading new daily Chirp builds?

[chirp_users] Testing direct import of .img files
by Milton Hywatt 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Last night I got a chance to test importing saved .img files from my Wouxun into an Anytone radio. For the most part it works well. I also tried it reverse. .img from Anytone to Wouxun KGUV6D imported but didn't write the first 5 lines which were all public service. Seems it didn't understand the duplex settings. I went back to the Anytone, .img made changes in Chirp then imported it back into the Wouxun. That time it worked. I also uploaded the same .img file to the Anytone and the changes in the settings really didn't matter for those frequencies since I don't transmit on them, tx is actually disabled for all public service. Se yes this is a good way to share your files back and forth if you have different radios. You might need to make some changes because of incompatible settings but that's not a big deal.

[chirp_users] Programming Anytone mobile
by Dave C 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Sorry if this topic has been beat to death. I just received my Anytone AT5888uv and am attempting to program it via Chirp. I installed the USB driver from the CD, and apparently my computer can talk to the radio as I can clone from the radio into Chirp. What I want to do is load some existing Chirp files I have from my Baofeng UV5R radios onto the Anytone. When I try to do so, the drop down box to upload the file won't move from the Baofeng. Also, is it possible to export the Chirp file into the Anytone software? Thanks for the help. Dave KG7HBQ --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

[chirp_users] Issues w/ getting UV-5R to communicate w/ CHIRP on a Mac
by Colby Teller 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

All, I'm relatively new to radios, and definitely new to the list - I throw myself at your mercy. I'm trying to program a set of Baofeng UV-5Rs to use the Motorola frequencies used by a few other race teams we run with. I'm using a Mac, OSX 10.8.5, and have already installed the PL2023 USB-Serial driver successfully (I believe). I obtained the driver from: http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=229&pcid=41 I've also confirmed that the USB-serial driver appears to be installed correctly, as described here: http://plugable.com/2011/07/12/installing-a-usb-serial-adapter-on-mac-os-x I now see '/dev/cu.usbserial' in the Port field when attempting to download from the radio (which I didn't see before installing the driver). However, when I actually attempt to download, the 'Cloning' modal shows for a few seconds w/o progress, then I see the "Radio did not respond" error. The USB cable is an "official" Baofeng cable that I received with the radios from a trusted reseller, and is definitely seated correctly. I've tried using different USB ports, turning the radio on/off, restarting several times, etc. but just cannot get the radio to talk to my Mac. I'm really hoping you guys can help; we have a race this weekend and if I can't get the comms working, I'm in a world of crap. Thanks, Colby

As I understand, the module for the B5 also works for the B6.

Many thanks for the CHIRP Program, and some great CHIRP e-mail suggestions, I'm all programmed and, surprisingly, communicating with other hams...Lotta fun! (note, I tried, and didn't have much success using the AT programming software)...being able to cut & paste is great!)...yes, I played the "port" game & finally won! *Question*: *will CHIRP eventually be able to program AnyTone radio settings ?*...just asking. Also, thanks for the *ease of using* CHIRP to program my BaoFeng UV-5R+ radios. (used in SAR) *Thanks again, for all you guys at CHIRP...and all you do for us newbies!Al ... "Ham" since October, 2013 ... KK6HLR...*& luving it!

[chirp_users] Regarding UV5R (F-11) and TDR Priority
by Milton Hywatt 08 Dec '13

08 Dec '13

I know this is straying off topic but as usual I'm off topic anyway...heh But considering the popularity of this radio and using Chirp with it I thought I'd make a brief comment. With Set menu item #34 TDR AB setting it to OFF when switched it gives you a split second to tune the inactive display and tune it be it VFO or channel mode. If set to either A or B, it is impossible to go from the priority A or B when active to the other non-priority display. One example: if VFO A is on a constant signal like the NWS 162.400 but you want to switch to and tune VFO B you have a half a second before the focus switches back to A. As long as you keep tuning the focus will be B. As soon as you stop it jumps back to A. This is in the #34 menu TDR AB = OFF menu. But now way you can tune the other display if the priority is given to the opposite display.
