[chirp_users] compiling for Vinux?
by eric oyen 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

A couple of questions. what developer packages do I need to have installed to compile the daily source? Also, Is it screen reader compatible using ORCA (on Vinux 4.x)? I ran into some problems trying to compile a daily source build about 2 weeks ago and never did get back around to it. SO, these questions are rather important to me as I am a blind ham and screen reader user. Additionally, THe program needs to be made accessible on OS X. It is only partially so )the programming window shows a blank scroll area to voiceover and there doesn't appear to be any untreatable controls there). Just a suggestion. -eric

[chirp_users] Chirp in Ubuntu 12.04
by Mike Morrow 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

I have two books coming and hope to be more intelligent on Linux soon but could someone post the complete and accurate SUDO commands to install Chirp on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? I see two of the commands in a web page but they then go on to say to "go ahead and install it". That leaves me out at the moment. I don't know what I should type next in terminal. Any assistance appreciated. I hate being so dumb and I could wait but I have some time in the next few days and would like to see what trouble I can get into with this. I did manage to get it to dual boot with Windows XP on one machine so I am learning. It picked a resolution that my monitor refuses to show and I had to install grub2 and configure to be able to see the O/S selection menu upon booting. Maybe this is too much fun. I am running Chirp quite well on Win XP and Win 7 but am trying to enlarge my circle of knowledge and this will be one thing to try in that effort. This all started at this URL: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-hams-updates/+archive/ppa If this is all well documented somewhere already, a URI will do. Thanks, Mike/W6XXX

[chirp_users] Roger Beeps, Courtesy Tones
by Clint Bradford 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

>> ... Many of the ham repeaters in my area use the roger beep or some form of coutesy tone, they work great. "Roger beep" is a tone that sounds when a radio operator un-keys their microphone. Serious hams thought this phenomenon/rage ended with the death of CB radios ... unfortunately, roger beeps are being heard more and more with the proliferation of several inexpensive import HTs. A repeater "courtesy tone" is a short tone or series of tones that sound over the transmitter of a repeater at the end of the squelch tail. A person involved in a conversation on a ham repeater un-keys their mic, and many repeaters are set up to wait a short time, then emit a "courtesy tone." We are supposed to wait for the courtesy tone before keying up to talk/reply. This short "gap" allows a little time for someone to break into the conversation with a comment, or priority or emergency traffic. Roger beeps for repeater use are most seen as immature or just plain unnecessary. Courteous and proper operations on amateur radio repeaters - with or without a courtesy tone - always waits a second or two after one ends a transmission to reply.

[chirp_users] MDC1200
by Clint Bradford 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

MDC-1200 (Motorola Data Communications) - aka "Stat-Alert," and/or "MDC-600" - is a Motorola two-way radio low-speed data system using audio frequency shift keying, (AFSK). MDC-600 uses a 600 baud data rate. MDC-1200 uses - you guessed it - a 1200 baud data rate. Mark and space tones are 1,200 Hz and 1,800 Hz. The data are sent in bursts over the radio system's voice channel. MDC signaling includes a number of features: unit ID, status buttons, emergency button, selective inhibit, radio check, and selective calling. These features are programmable and could be used in any combination desired by the user. In addition to Motorola, at least two other companies make compatible base station decoders for MDC-1200. Motorola radios with MDC options have an option allowing the radio to filter out data bursts from the receive audio. Instead of hearing the AFSK data, the user hears a short chirp from the radio speaker each time a data burst occurs. (The user must turn on this feature in the radio's option programming settings). But you will not be using CHIRP to program your Motorola radios. Clint Bradford K6LCS 909-241-7666 ---------------------------------- Clint Bradford, K6LCS http://www.clintbradford.com

[chirp_users] Blocking Transmit on Selected Channels
by Jim McCorison 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

Greetings, I am programming some radios for auxiliary volunteers with our local fire department. We wish to provide them the ability to monitor the county sheriff repeater, but to not be able to transmit to it. After poking around the best I could come up with was to set Duplex=split and Offset=0.00000. Is there a preferred method? Thanks, Jim -- Jim McCorison Orcas Island, WA

I just received this radio and, using the latest Linux build of CHIRP on F19. I downloaded from radio, and I am only able to program channels 2-21. 0, 1 & 22-127 are all greyed out and I'm unable to edit them. I have programmed 2-21 all fine, though. Any ideas? I'm not a windows guy but I did install the VIP software for windows in a VirtualBox running Win 7 but the program wouldn't even startup correctly, so I gave up. -Doug

[chirp_users] Simply Amazing
by Clint Bradford 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

I hadn't updated my mobile IC-208H in years, because that old laptop that I use for Motorola and Kenwood commercial stuff has the Icom program on it, but the 3.5" floppy drive quit working. So I could read and write with that old computer, but my new datafiles are elsewhere. ANYWAY, CHIRP to the rescue. I dg up the IC-208 manual to see how to put the radio into CLONE mode. When CHIRP "failed" to read the radio, I though about quitting the project. But then I did something few us us forget to do: I read the online CHIRP docs. "Don't need to place that Icom rig into CLONE mode, Clint," the docs admonished me. "CHIRP and that Icom rig get along just fine - just read the radio ... " And it worked. And I uploaded my FT-60R .img file to the '208. All is sync'd. All is peaceful. All was smooth ... I am sorry that pittance that I donated last week was so small ... But I will donate a little more soon. Thank you, CHIRP development team. Clint Bradford K6LCS http://www.k6lcs.com

[chirp_users] Baofeng Bug Reports

Greetings, I encountered a bug when programming a recent Baofeng UV5R transceiver. Since according to the warning message from Chirp that pops up there apparently is a problem with UV5R firmware version documentation I wonder if there is any interest in associated bug reports? If there is I wonder how one would go about reporting a bug? Although I found information on known bugs on the website I wasn't able to find any links for reporting new bugs. Thanks in advance! ta

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-7900E upload error message
by John Pagett 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

Gents, I'm using Chirp 0.3.1 with a USB interface (looks like a Prolific rip-off) and the European version of the FT-7900. Chirp is set to FT-7800. I can download from the radio without any problems, and the memories I programmed manually on the transceiver look good in Chirp. Uploading to the radio starts ok and proceeds apparently correctly until the very end, when I get an error message in Chirp "Radio did not ack block at 31624". The memories look good on the radio and will download back into Chirp without problems. Here's the relevant section of the debug log. Clone thread started -- Exception: -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "chirpui\clone.pyo", line 223, in run File "chirp\ft7800.pyo", line 225, in sync_out File "chirp\ft7800.pyo", line 146, in _upload RadioError: Radio did not ack block at 31624 ------ Clone failed: Radio did not ack block at 31624 Clone thread ended --- Exception Dialog: Radio did not ack block at 31624 --- Traceback (most recent call last): File "chirpw", line 71, in <module> AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split' At this stage I'm not sure if this is down to Chirp tripping up at the end of a successful download or whether there's something more subtle going on, but as I say the memories read back ok and look fine on the radio. If it's a real problem I'll open a bug report. Any thoughts gents? 73 John G4YTJ

by kf8sj＠aol.com 05 Aug '13

ok. get the pix, i think. the roger beep comes at the end of the transmission, (as i understand it). this is exactly what i want. this is a non ham part 20 application. i have 8 ht's (and more on the way) that because of location can only operate thru one repeater. basically this is a single channel operation, i don't need or want to access the second repeater, only monitor it to minimize interference. in additional, these are occasional type operators with low radio skills. the beep tone should enable them to turn over the transmission, with out saying over, come back etc. also, those on the other repeater should be aware that the transmissions are not for them thanks for the help. think i have hat i need. 73 jim kf8sj

[chirp_users] Bootable Chirp CD & Thumb-drive
by David Evans 04 Aug '13

04 Aug '13

Hello, all; Recently I have been using a bootable CD of CHIRP to take with me to radio club (Voice of Idaho) activities to help newbies program their radios. Works great, but I thought that a thumb drive would be handier since I could store some data files on it. Now, I have a fair familiarity with Linux but this stumps me. I created the boot-able thumb-drive and copied the CHIRP data files to the documents folder on it. They went on with no error messages and opened in CHIRP. Everything seemed fine until I rebooted the system and found that those data files were gone. So, I am wondering why they were gone and what can I do to fix this. -- Thanks, David kd7uch(a)arrl.net

Using CHIRP, look at the Firmware Message 1 on the Settings -> Other Settings menu to see the 'real' firmware version. I'm sure you will find that each radio has a different firmware version. It is only the items on this menu (Other Settings) that do not get transferred when there is a firmware version mismatch. This is also the menu that you would use to edit the 'power up' messages.

[chirp_users] VX-3R Problems - FT-60R and VX-6R OK, Though
by Clint Bradford 03 Aug '13

03 Aug '13

Chirp on a Win XP netbook is working great for me on my FT-60R and VX-6R radios. But no matter what I try to do to upload a Chirp datafile to my VX-3R, it stops at memory number 11 - and uploads no further. The first 10 memories it does upload are perfect ... What do you think I may be doing incorrectly? I went ahead and performed a master reset on the VX-3R and re-read it - but that did not seem to help. Definitely NO a Chirp problem ... but a "Clint problem." Clint K6LCS http://www.work-sat.com

[chirp_users] Uv5r not being programmed with additional settings
by ima Ham 02 Aug '13

When I program my uv5R, it transfers all frequencies and additional settings. I have a second UV 5 R and when I upload everything to that, it only transfers the frequencies, and not the additional settings. I've researched the error and have still not been able to correct it. Can someone explain if it is possible to correct this?

Greetings: I don't have any ICOM experience, but I know that with my Yaseu I have to push the PTT switch to send the radio info to CHIRP. I then have to push the MONITOR switch to allow CHIRP to load back into the radio. This flumoxed me for a while, as my Baofeng just sits there and communicates directly from the CHIRP commands.

I've managed to program a couple freqs manually into the memories but I can't find instructions in the manual as to how to manually switch between memories or how to scan the memory channels. I'm pretty sure I have down loaded CHIRP but I can't get it to run so I can program the radio. I have downloaded the latest drivers and checked the cable as well.

Since you have a problem with both software packages, I would expect the programming cable/driver to be the problem (it usually is). You shouldn't be guessing at the COM port. You be able to determine it from Device Manager. I would recommend that you visit the Miklor.com website and, in particular, look at the Drivers & USB Cables page. It will help you determine if you have correct driver, provide a link for one if you don't and then guide you through the installation process. Jim KC9HI

Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R

Glad you got it going. Another point specific to this radio, at least to mine is to be sure the plug is all the way in the radio. I know that sounds obvious, but I worked on mine for hours without getting it going. Turns out that I was not connecting the cable completely into the radio. I thought I was, but even after it felt secure I had to push a little bit more to get a good connection. This radio has an extra stiff terminal in it. There is a very distinct "SNAP" once the cable is properly seated. As soon as I made that little extra effort every thing worked just fine.

That did it. I had to run through the Driver process 4 times but finally got it. Thank you.

If neither software works, let's go back to the drivers. Review http://www.miklor.com UV5R Drivers section. Windows should not use any Prolific Driver newer than 3.2.0.0 Let us know if this helps.

Is there a way to change the "Wide" bandwidth to "Narrow" with the CHIRP software. I don't see it on the spreadsheet. Thanks Jim W7JWT

As leader of a VE team I keep up with rules and changes. The narrow banding only applies to business radio, amateur radio is not. Jock KC6IIH In a message dated 7/24/2013 2:55:54 P.M.

It is the Mode column on the main spreadsheet. FM=WIDE NFM=NARROW The upper status display of the UV-5R will show an "N" indicator for every channel that is programmed to NARROW. Having no "N" in the upper status display indicates the channel is set to WIDE.
