[chirp_users] Chirp LiveCD
by B Giff 07 Apr '13

07 Apr '13

I have updated the Chirp LiveCD with today's daily (7Apr13). As with previous updates, the new daily is the only change so if you are using a LiveUSB and have run the Chirp Updater, you already have the latest version. Please note that future releases of the LiveCD will be much slower than once a month. I am moving to a country where the internet speed is dial-up at best, so uploads will be extremely difficult. To mitigate this, please create a bootable USB (LiveUSB) if you plan to use it more than once in a great while. Instructions are located in the wiki section of the Chirp LiveCD website.

[chirp_users] New to Chirp and Using a Mac
by Jeremy J Barbouttis 06 Apr '13

06 Apr '13

What a great program! However, I cannot seem to connect to the radio via USB. I am using a baofeng UV-R and am not getting a connection at all. I really don't know what to put in the port field to download data from the radio. I have also tried with a Wouxon UVD1P and get the same. Just tried selecting all of the given options, but nothing happened. They all seem to be bluetooth anyway. Need to put in the port for one of my USB ports, but haven't a clue as to how to do that. All help really appreciated. Jeremy VK2MJM

Chirp works great but I was wondering if the many other columns of data could be accessed with CHIRP? Even the simple things like Power level??? John

For example, Chirp can store frequencies in the following range in my Yaesu VX5 because of its extended receive capability: 0.500000-16.000000 MHz, 48.000000-729.000000 MHz, 800.000000-999.000000 MHz You can see the specific range supported for each radio here, in the "Bands" column: http://chirp.danplanet.com/download/0.3.0/Model_Support.html If we assigned the wrong range to any radio, let us know.

[chirp_users] raspberry pi and chirp
by Michael Bass 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hi all, I discovered the chirp project and wanted to use it to help debug my homebrew interface between a Raspberry Pi computer and a Kenwood TM-D700. While the code seems to work if you have a USB dongle, I had a problem using the GPIO UART serial port. That port is on an odd serial device (/dev/ttyAMA0). Which may make sense since the Pi is an odd bit of hardware. Anyway, if you add one line of code to the platform.py file, chirp will recognize the GPIO serial port. Without finding any serial ports on the computer, chirp issues a cryptic message. Just before line 284 in platform.py (chirp-0.3.0) add the line: glob.glob("/dev/ttyAMA*") + I don't know much python programming so I don't know if there is a way to detect the hardware more specifically. I don't think /dev/ttyAMA* is used much on other linuxes. So it will probably be safe enough to add to the "production" version of chirp. Hope this helps! 73 de Mike, N7WLC

[chirp_users] Out of Band freqs memory
by André Berger 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hello, good job out there. The only problem I "see" is the fact that despite chirp allows us to "unlock" baofeng, for example (I can set the range from 1 to 1000mhz), it won't allow me to save those freqs in memory! Despite the original freqs, I can tune some out of range freqs with my radio, thatts why I Want them into channels. So I have to run the original VIP software, import from radio, add the channel with the out oft Band freq (Because VIP recognises the range of baofeng and allow me to input those) and then export to radio. Thats a long jorney, considering I have a Mac, so I have to lauch Windows.... A user called Jim, made me a .py modification to help me with that. I just load the mode, and right: now I am able to add the out of range freqs. So, why not to add this .py file directly to /chirp/content...? Because this modification has a bug, when I load it I can only set the channels, the settings menu won't work. It remains blank. So I only use this modificated py file to add the freqs. Isn't possible to let chirp to add those freqs eternally? Tks

Re: [chirp_users] Out of Band freqs memory
by John W. 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

I agree... In the brand-specific forums, it has been repeatedly stated that these out of band frequency display mods do absolutely nothing to add functionality to a radio even if these mods did do anything other than display a number onscreen, rarely would anyone be legally authorized to operate there. Scanners exist for listening purposes. To avoid perpetuating this off topic thread, this will also be my last comment. Apologies for not trimming quoted material. Windows phone editors Suck! -----Original Message----- From: Dan Smith Sent: 4/2/2013 11:41 AM To: Discussion of CHIRP Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Out of Band freqs memory Hi Andre, I hope this can be our last discussion on this topic. > The only problem I "see" is the fact that despite chirp allows us > to "unlock" baofeng, for example (I can set the range from 1 to > 1000mhz), it won't allow me to save those freqs in memory! At this point, the mainline version of CHIRP will not gain support for programming frequency ranges that the hardware is known not to support. I have seen no compelling evidence that any version of the hardware is capable of anything outside the range that CHIRP currently supports (aside from the 220MHz variant). Until I do, the current functionality will remain. You have brought this up multiple times in multiple places and we have repeatedly explained that we have no interest in features that may be at best useless and at worst damaging. Please, lets put this topic to rest. Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

In order to prevent two radiothreads from trying to talk to the same live device at the same time, RadioThread is extended to take a parent thread, which it shares the same runlock with for exclusion.

[chirp_users] Chirp, RFNET Lookup, tones
by Serge Burjak 01 Apr '13

I am a VK amateur. I have a VX7, I have a subscription to rfinder.net . It appears to have correct information when I look at the web page. When I use CHIRP and online lookup, it downloads the repeater names, frequencies and offsets, but appears to set the tone to 88.5 and not propagate any of the correct ones, where there is one. I have tried some of the CSV formats from the web page, but they don't seem to go anywhere. I am a newb, could be my ignorance, but any info would be welcome. Regards. VK4SB

[chirp_users] FTDI USB Cables with non-default IDs (RT Systems, etc.)
by Robert Terzi 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

I added a page to the wiki with information on using FTDI cables that have been modified to use a non-default (proprietary) ID such as those from RT Systems. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CableGuide_FTDI_OEM_Cables It can still use some work. In particular, I wasn't able to use NQ1E's trick under Windows XP to get it to use the FTDI VCP driver without touching the .inf files. The procedure does work under Windows 7 and possibly other versions. (The difference is that while both Windows 7 and XP detect that the cable ID doesn't match what's in the .inf file, Windows XP won't let you update the driver, Windows 7 will warn you but let you click through to proceed.) The only way I was able to get the RT Systems cable to show up as a COM port under Windows XP was to create a custom .inf file using FTDI's utility for making .infs. If anyone has a better way, I'd be interested in it. While I was adding the link for this page, I couldn't resist doing some editing of the main cable guide page: http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CableGuide Comments and corrections welcome.

Hi, I have been using Chirp for my Wouxun KG-UV3D (quite successfully) and am trying to use my radio as a packet station. One of the missing components is a working hamlib configuration. I was hoping someone can point me towards some resources on the Wouxun CAT commands so that I can work with the hamlib folks to get this working. I looked through the Chirp Wouxun-specific source code files, but it's a bit tough for me to decipher. Thanks, Corey Siegel

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20130323 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #180 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] [vx510] Partial driver for Vertex VX-510. #719 I lost interest in finishing support for this radio, but anyone is welcome to complete this driver if they want. Download and decode works, apart from a stray byte at 0xC that I haven't found a good way to handle. It might be a checksum, but I haven't determined the algorithm to check it. Upload is untested and set_memory() is unimplemented. Nearly every byte of the img is decoded, so this shouldn't be very difficult to complete if interested. [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] bitwise: allow #seek in hex (only dec was supported). #715

[chirp_users] Unable to write to VX8GR
by Jim Berry 17 Mar '13

Hello, New to chirp. I am able to query the radio, make changes to my image, but I can not write it back to the radio. I can get the radio into receive mode and it looks like it works, but no new changes. On my windows based programming software I have to change the version of my img file from the stock one. Is there something like this I need to do in Chirp? Thank you, Jim KD8BZS

[chirp_users] New user with Mac issue: app won't start
by Grant Cunningham 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

I've searched the Wiki and site, and can't find an answer to this problem. Downloaded the Mac version and the required Python runtime. Installed Python, rebooted, then tried to run the app. Nothing happens; the app doesn't open, doesn't give an error message, icon doesn't appear in the dock, etc. Tried it on 2 very different machines: a MacBook Air running the latest version of Mountain Lion, and an old iBook G4 running Leopard (10.5.2) Problem is identical on both machines. It's obviously me, but what? My search of the mailing list did turn up an issue from 04/2012 (apparently since fixed) that detailed similar behavior, and the workaround was to run the app from a folder which did not have a space; mine are both installed in the standard Applications folder, so that shouldn't be the cause. I'm not at all familiar with Python; is there something I need to do besides simply installing it? Will it run on a G4, or does it require an Intel?

When recalled on the radio, the lockout value for memory 137+ is corrupt. > The memory Chanel 137 is corrupt somehow. The lockout option shows random > characters instead of a "on &off" option. Upon examination of his img file, unknown1 was 0xFE for channels greater than 136. On my non-corrupt radio, unknown1 is always 0x00. Based on the "random characters", it appears the D72 reads the full byte (unknown1 + skip) to evaluate lockout. This patch modified Chirp to read the full byte.

[chirp_users] VX-6R Problems
by Brad Rupp 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Hello, I am trying to use Chirp to program my Yaesu VX-6R HT. I have two problems with the VX-6R. 1) I cannot import a CSV file to my VX-6R image in Chirp. When I try to import the CSV, it appears to succeed, but none of the new memory locations are put into the image file. Note, I have 24 memories in the image and am trying to import 100+ memories that exist in various ranges (1-24, 200-250, 300-325, etc.) in the CSV. 2) When I write the memories to the the VX-6R, the memories are all unmasked (hidden) except the memories that existed before the write. If I manually mask (show) the memories and then use Chirp to write the memories again, they revert back to being unmasked (hidden). I know the new memories are there. I just can't see them. I am using Chirp v 0.3.0 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Chirp is working great with my Kenwood D-710a. It is just the VX-6R that is giving me problems. Any thoughts on what I am missing? It is probably something obvious that I just am not seeing. Thanks, Brad AC7BR

Hi Bill, Tom, John and everyone! First of all, we should keep in mind that this group is for CHIRP users, not only for HAMs. Now, Bill, I might be wrong, but if I would do as follows: First, make sure you're in frequency mode, and on line A (top line). Let's say you want to program 464.550 on RX and 469.000 on TX, and a Pl code of 100.0, and you want it on memory channel 3. enter: [4] [6] [4] [5] [5] [0] [menu] [1] [3] [menu] [1] [0] [0] [0] [menu] [exit] [menu] [2] [7] [menu] [0] [0] [3] [menu] [exit] radio will say "receiving memory/channel/frequency" (I don't remember what she says, anymore) [4] [6] [9] [0] [0] [0] [menu] [2] [7] [menu] [0] [0] [3] [menu][exit] radio will say "transmitting memory/channel/frequency" And you are done!

He is not programming it for Ham Bands he is programming for his work band and yes it can handle it. CTCSS is Tone Encode or Tone SQL ( Encode and decode) On Chrip you set the Tone Mode to TSQL and then set the values in the Tone and Tonesql boxes. On the Baofeng on the front panel just set the RCS and TCS values and program the frequency in and then set the Duplex to 5.000 Mhz and Shift is +.

Re: [chirp_users] Loading repeater info for Central Florida

Amen to that Dan! I just helped my father start using CHIRP. He had a lot of trouble on his older XP system. Seemed that the driver for talking to his Kenwood handheld had 'gone wonky'. After cleaning up the mess of other software issues on that machine, I was able to reinstall the driver and everything started working together nicely. Interestingly, even with the 'wonky' driver, he was able to use the Kenwood software (which I considered odd) so he wanted to blame it on CHIRP. I used it as a teachable moment about drivers and the 'hardware device manager' (it had the cute little yellow question mark next to the usb device for the HT....) Now he can use CHIRP to program his HT, his new mobile, and his HF+ home station. He's a happy ham! FWIW, I continue to be amazed at the incremental improvements in CHIRP. I'm using an older build at home (if it's not broke 'don't fix it') but the latest one that Dad had installed had some nice improvements. Thank you for continuing to support and improve such a universal and useful tool for hams everywhere! 73, Grant Hopper KB7WSD The problem is, your system libraries (DLLs) could be out of whack for > a million reasons, and it's really hard for us to diagnose it remotely > for you.
