[chirp_users] Errors In Importing CSV
by Charles J. Hargrove 22 May '13

22 May '13

Has anyone else experienced problems importing a CSV file. I'm using the latest build of CHiRP and have used CHiRP with various radios for about a year now. I created (exported) a CSV from a BaoFeng UV5R. I added some memory locations to the file and saved the CSV. The UV5R was connected to the computer, CHiRP (5/21) started and read the layout from the radio. When I tried to import the CSV file it gave an error that it could only read the first 16 lines and was unable to handle lines 17 to 92. Ideas? -- Charles J.

I can't connect to my TM-D710. If I select Kenwood & Detect, it says Unsupported Model TM-D710P, if I select Kenwood & tell it I have a TM-D710, it just goes back to a blank Chirp page...

Re: [chirp_users] new user, unable to connect to FT-7800 on a MAC
by chirp.cordless＠xoxy.net 21 May '13

Since you got the cable from Valley, it's almost certainly an FTDI chipset. The Prolific driver is completely useless for this cable. As I've learned from others on this group (Thanks Robert Terzi): > The RT Systems cables I've seen are made with FTDI chips. However they > install a custom USB Vendor ID and Product ID (VID & PID) on them, so they > aren't recognized by the generic FTDI virtual com port drivers. I've got a Mac and one RT systems cable (FT-60) and one Valley cable (FT-8800). Your most direct path to a working solution is to get the generic FTDI driver from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm It's possible to edit the Info.plist file in either the RT systems driver to work with a Valley cable, or in the FTDI driver to work with an RT systems cable, which I've done with my FT-60 cable, so I don't need both drivers installed (and I have a third FTDI cable unrelated to radios)). But you have to know what you're doing with plists and vid/pids, and have the motivation/need to do it. The FAQ page that David referenced doesn't mention the generic FTDI driver, and IMHO it should. -dan > Message: 3 > Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 01:07:15 -0700 (PDT) > From: David LaBier <davidjlabier(a)yahoo.com> > Subject: Re: [chirp_users] new user, unable to connect to FT-7800 on a > MAC > To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> > Message-ID: > <1368518835.79248.YahooMailNeo(a)web122301.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > What driver are you using for the cloning cable? > Read below.

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-B6 support?
by Tom Morris 21 May '13

21 May '13

Hello. I have a Baofeng UV-B6, I see that Chirp has support for the -B5 but I've tried reading the B6 and it doesn't do anything useful. What's the status on support for these? Does anyone else have one they're playing with? As I recall Baofeng's own software is the same package for the B5 and B6; it probably autodetects the model in use by sending the appropriate "hello!" for both. -- -- 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] to save or not to save
by Bear Albrecht 09 May '13

09 May '13

We don't have to be stingy with disk space nowadays. I save everything (well, almost everything) and I append date & time strings to file names for version history. One time I didn't save, although I wanted to, was when I was programming a mobile, and wearing pants with a fair amount of synthetic fiber, which especially in our dry climate equals static zaps. At one point I stuck the mouse in my pocket and it lost it (but later recovered); I had finished modifying the program in the radio but couldn't save it since the laptop was going wacko. Which I discovered when I went back inside and tried to save. But the radio was OK; I just had to read it back out the next time the guy was around. This is when I switched to a cordless mouse. ;B -- Bear Albrecht W5VZB It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it. -- J.

[chirp_users] Fixed icon finally
by Marty Hartwell 06 May '13

06 May '13

Hi For any that have been following my attempt at finding how to get the CHIRP icon to show on my desktop. It turned out to be real simple and I must have found it when I first started using Chirp but forgot how to get it. The way I solved it as I said is simple, I looked in the Applications Menu and in there I have "Hamradio" and under it is my three ham radio applications. All I had to do was click and hold and draw down to the desktop and a launcher was created, with the icon showing the little serial plug. So manually creating the launcher does not find the icon, so I am happy at this point and yes I guess it is a little thing but that must be a little part of me that is OCD, and I just have to live with it.

[chirp_users] ftm-350 programming
by m3uon 05 May '13

05 May '13

Hello I would like to thank you first for an excellent piece of software. It works really well for most of the radios I have used it with. I was trying to find the archive to see if this has been discussed already (unsuccessfully), and finding none thought I should bring it up. I am currently trying to programme a Yaesu FTM-350 using a daily build (from yesterday, 27th April). It seem to do a very good job, except for the fact that when reading from the radio, it changes all the symbols (like :, ;, >, etc.) into a single back-tick (`) rather than retaining the original symbol programmed to the radio. Not sure if it can write back -- have not tried that yet. Will post once I get the chance. Thanks again for the hard work. Regards Shah

Hi I have wondered about where and what file is the icon for the app? I have created a launcher as I have done before but don't now have the icon for Chirp. I actually am not real sure if it is in the correct place either. I got on the Chirp web site and followed the instructions for setting up the PPA but didn't see anything on the desktop, so I created one after finding what looks like the App in I think /usr/share sub directories. Is this correct or is there a better way? Marty kd8bj

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-X4: A-OK
by David Brunner 02 May '13

02 May '13

Hi All; I bought this little radio last summer at the hamfest in Plano, TX along with the Windows software and the Prolific programming cable. I initially installed the software on an old Windows Vista machine and programmed a number of frequencies without a problem. I recently got around to installing it on a newish Win7-64 box and had to do quite a lot of mucking with it to get the USB stuff working, but finally had success. I then downloaded Chirp (daily build) and it read the radio with no problem at all (as the UV-3R). So then I thought I would give Chirp a whirl on my Linux Mint Debian x64 laptop. Installed via Synaptic and it worked the first time without a hiccup. Woohoo! I had to run it as root (easily fixed, betcha) and it also saw the radio as a UV-3R. Now for my Kenwood TM-G707A's.... Very impressed! You guys are awesome! 73, David / KE0AZ Aurora, CO (DM79)

[chirp_users] Problem Setting CTCSS Tones
by Ron Ricketts 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

I'm a new Chirp user and have probably overlooked something simple but have run into a problem I can't seem to figure out. I'm using the latest build of Chirp, daily-20130411, and am running from a Mac Mini, OS X Lion, through an FTDI USB cable. No problems communicating with the radio, an FT-817ND. I have broadbanded it so am using the generic FT-817ND template, not the US model, which doesn't seem to work with a broadbanded radio. As stated, I have loaded an image of my radio, and have successfully modified several memories. However, I am unable to make the Home channels take a different tone frequency. No matter what I put in, it remains at 88.5 and gives an error box saying "rtone not supported on this channel." The normal channels accept the Tone value without issue. I also just noticed that I can't set the Power on Home channels as well. So am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Thanks for the help, Ron WA5VFA

When trying to either import CSV/CHIRP files or just writing the data read from the radio back to it, CHIRP tells me that my frequencies are out of range.

Hi I wonder if you can help me to figure out how to get access to the memory banks of the radio. I can only access bank A. I like Chirp since it works with all my other radios and it human engendering is superb. 73, Izzy 4X1UF Sent from my iPhone 5

[chirp_users] Can't receive from Icom T70A using CHIRP 0.3.1
by Dane Ronnow 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Having trouble with CHIRP and an Icom T70A HT. When I try to download from the radio, I get an error "Failed to communicate with the radio: unexpected response from the radio." The software works fine with a Baofeng UV-5R, firmware v297. Here's what I'm using: Quality FTDI cables for both radios (from Valley Enterprises). Version 2.08.28 driver for 32-bit Windows XP (from ftdichip.com). CHIRP v0.3.1. I installed the driver and software. In Device Manager, the COM port is 4 with the Icom cable; 3 with the Baofeng cable. With the Baofeng, I plugged the cable into the radio, then into the computer, turned on the radio, then launched the software. When I download from radio, I set the port to COM3, the select the radio and model. Progress bar opens and LED on the radio blinks green as the data is downloaded. I can make changes, upload, etc. All is good with the UV-5R. Basically same process with the Icom T70: I plug the cable into the radio first, then into the computer. I verify COM port in Device Manager, which is 4 with the Icom cable. I power on the radio, then launch the software. I select receive from radio, then select COM4 from the popup menu, Icom, T70. The progress bar pops up momentarily, then the error message, "Failed to communicate with the radio: unexpected response from the radio." Any ideas? I'm thinking of trying an earlier release of CHIRP, though I would hate to see the Icom able to connect, but not the Baofeng. Out of the two radios, the Baofeng is the one that needs the software programming capability the most. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Dane

[chirp_users] TYT uv3r Question
by ALAN 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

2 Questions I love my Baofeng uv-5r, and I'm not sure if the if the 220 band will work and I shall try it. 1. The TYT-uv3r is supposed to work on the 220mhz band with the factroy software. Anyone know of this, it is another cheap radio that looks like another mold of the Baofeng. Is it only a cosmetic change on the outside with the same inside ??? Is it the same manufacturer ?? 2. Is there any P25 version of uhf, or vhf anywhere like these radios ? Thanks Alan KC9IMF
