[chirp_users] Bootable Chirp CD & Thumb-drive
by David Evans 05 Aug '13

05 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

I have programed many other radios and there has been a menu setting to get into program mode. I have connected my UV-5r to the computer and selected the correct Comm Port, nothing. What do i have to do to program this radio? Phil KF6MXk -- Sent From My Mancave Above Cable MP 358 Tehachapi

Understood, but they are the same release numbers, so that should not be an issue Further, how would you program the power up settings/ message, etc? It seems to be a great radio otherwise Robert KK4SEY On Aug 2, 2013 7:01 AM, <chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> wrote: > 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.

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

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'll buy a USB cable soon and try this once more. Any steps I'm missing please let me know. The cable checks good on a meter and if it reads the radio it should write in theory. Doing the same thing now in Windows and Xubuntu. I will say the Linux version does not yell out an error it just does not work. Ronny K4RJJ

Hello all: Old user,new list user. My question is can/ does anyone run Chrip on a windows surface tablet? It has a USB port and does all the stuff you want a computer to do so....What I am doing is traveling and wanted Chrip on my mobile device so I can upload to my HT on the fly. Oh when I try to install it on the device it says it can't and try a app. WTF, iTunes can install either, they should tell u before u buy it is limited on what u can install. Figures Microsoft.

[chirp_users] UV-5re +

28 Jul '13

Many tnx for your response Jim........I'm still struggling to get CHIP running so I can program my radio. 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 I have little IT experience this has been a tough go. I would appreciate any help assistance you could render........... M Schontz k8fu(a)aol.com

I got mine working finally. I had to go back to http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/ and install the other driver. The cable that came with my UV-5R has the wrong driver. Once I got that done, Chirp works just fine.

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

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.

[chirp_users] uv5replus-vfo/mr disable?
by N4AOF 20 Jul '13

20 Jul '13

It is hard to make ANY radio "goof proof" Since you already have the UV-5RE+ model I won't point out that there are better choices for that particular characteristic. While you can't disable the VFO/MR button, you can disable the VFO by setting the lower frequency limit higher than the upper frequency limit. By the way, you would generally have more luck asking BaoFeng radio questions on a mail list for the radio instead of a list for the Chirp software.

I have been working with a friend to help him us CHIRP. On his computer (windows7) when I click Radio at the top of the screen opens the pull down window but it does not do anything if I try to click download. I can not download a file from the radio. If I open a file and have on the screen it will not let me upload to the radio. There is no error message or any indication at all on the screen. What can I do. Dave

[chirp_users] Basic CSV help
by Chris Kantarjiev 14 Jul '13

14 Jul '13

I must be doing something fundamentally wrong. I'm trying for the first time to use make my channel definitions in a CSV file, rather than just using a radio-specific file. I think I have the right format, but CHIRP always tells me "no channels found". I've attached a sample with one channel definition. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

[chirp_users] CHIRP - support for ICOM IC-2300H
by Jim MacKenzie 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, I've really been enjoying CHIRP - I started using it a few weeks before I got my callsign in April. It's made programming my HTs and one of my mobile rigs a real pleasure. I've now acquired a couple of mobile rigs - one, an ICOM IC-2100H which CHIRP supports well, and the other, the IC-2300H which it doesn't seem to support at all. What's the process to register interest in getting a radio supported? Obviously since I own it, as well as three other radios that CHIRP does support, I'd be willing to help out in the process if I can. Thanks, Jim / VE5EIS

[chirp_users] Baofeng BF-777 (480/666/777/888 Series) For Development
by Tom Morris 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hello everyone. I have a Baofeng 777 single band UHF that I'd like to loan to a developer so Chirp support can be added. Who can I send this along to for CHIRP development? I have the radio, antenna, and charger. The mic on the radio is slightly damaged and distorts TX audio because I kinda bashed it while repairing a loose battery contact inside the unit, but you get clean audio if you plug in a headset (useful for determining if you're properly sending wide or narrowband FM, I guess). Same data cable is used on these that is used on other Baofeng and probably Kenwood HTs. FYI, these are now available shipped with a headset and charger for $17.80 EACH if you order them in a batch of 5 on Amazon. Now I'm really excited to contribute to CHIRP development on them.... that's pretty amazing. :) -- -- Tom Morris, KG4CYX Mad Scientist For Hire Chairman, South Florida Tropical Hamboree / Miami Hamfest Engineer, WRGP Radiate FM, Florida International University 786-228-7087 151.820 Megacycles

[chirp_users] O/T Cheap clone cable for FT-60 and similar.
by Ronny Julian 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

Got this on eBay thinking if it did not work as a clone cable it would be a good pair of packet cables. It DOES work as a clone cable. Nice Yaesu red too! http://www.ebay.com/itm/251210818140

[chirp_users] FT-60 help please
by Ronny Julian 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

I have done quite a bit of reading and trying but it all comes down to Chirp not reading my radio to start. I have it in the Clone mode and I tried pressing PTT to initiate TX also per the manual. I know the cable is good and my COM1 port is available. Does anyone have an FT-60 file I can try uploading to see if it is working there? BTW this is on Windows 7. I tried it on Debian and that seems to have simlar issues. That is a different machine. Thanks! Ronny K4RJJ

[chirp_users] Modify TYT TH-UV3R Freq Range
by Phil - w2lie 05 Jul '13

05 Jul '13

Hi, I used the TYT default program to modify the range of my TYT TH-UV3R from the stock config. It was 400 - 470, but I've extended it to 512Mhz. I can now monitor my local UHF-T Fire Departments. I can read and write to the new upper limit using the TYT software, but I would like to use Chirp instead. Is there anyway to tell chirp that the upper limit of the frequency range is now 512Mhz instead of 470Mhz? I looked for an .ini file that would have the radio definitions in there, but I was unable to see one. I'm hoping it is an easy hack within chirp to allow me to write the 'out of band' frequencies into the radio. Thanks 73 Phil / w2lie
