I downloaded the latest daily build. Still trying to get it out of my computer. I shows as 10M, something really bad happened to it. I can't even send it to trash and I certainly am not going to run it.

[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

[chirp_users] Puxing 777 Plus shows "out of range"
by Daniel Nelson 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

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. It's a 2m radio, and it's telling me that 146.970 and 147.000 are outside of the allowed range. I tried using both the latest released version and the 20130411 nightly. I'm on OS X 10.8.2 if it matters. Does anyone have a hint as to where to look to fix this? The CSV is below: Location,Name,Frequency,Duplex,Offset,Tone,rToneFreq,cToneFreq,DtcsCode,DtcsPolarity,Mode,TStep,Skip,Comment,URCALL,RPT1CALL,RPT2CALL 1,K6MVR,147.000000,-,0.600000,TSQL,136.5,136.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 2,KE6YUV,146.970000,-,0.600000,Tone,123.0,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 3,W6AK,146.910000,-,0.600000,Tone,162.2,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 4,N1PPP,146.775000,-,0.600000,Tone,103.5,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 5,N6NMZ,146.760000,-,0.600000,Tone,131.8,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 6,N6QDY,147.255000,+,0.600000,Tone,123.0,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 9,CALLING,146.520000,,0.000000,,88.5,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 10,APRSRAW,144.390000,,0.000000,,88.5,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, 11,APRSVOC,144.390000,,0.000000,TSQL,100.0,100.0,023,NN,FM,5.00,,,,,, -- Daniel Nelson KJ6LVS http://kj6lvs.com

[chirp_users] Offset Freq Always 00.000 Baefeng UV-5R

No matter what I do, the Offset Frequencies always come out as 00.0000 on the radio, despite setting them up and showing correctly on Chirp, with relevant shift. Anyone know why that might be? Cannot change the manually either? Thanks Jeremy

[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

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

[chirp_users] Chirp LiveCD
by B Giff 08 Apr '13

08 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.

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.

[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

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

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20130402 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #183 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add bitwise browser when developer options are enabled This version allows editing of most of the arbitrary data. Note that since the only semantic interpretation of a given value at this layer is its format and size, much damage can be caused to the underlying image if care is not exercised Fixes #747 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make EditorSet handle multiple MemoryMapping objects This makes EditorSet create a generic membership and names (if appropriate) editor for each MemoryMapping object exported by the radio. This also includes a bunch of fixes for signaling changes to be propagated to each editor object when one of them changes. Related to #741 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make Radio able to return multiple MemoryMapping objects This lays the groundwork for things like Scan Lists. Start by just defining the new interface, making it call the old one, and updating import_logic and the tests to match. Related to #741 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix UV-5R PTT-ID to support A-D and *, # characters Fixes #745 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix some straggling bank interface issues The offending author should really run tests before pushing... Related to #741 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Abstract Bank and BankModel to MemoryMapping and MappingModel This is mostly just a search-and-replace for the above names, but makes way for supporting things like scan lists that behave exactly the same way. Related to #741 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Improve sub-device treatment in the UI This changes how CHIRP exposes devices with sub-devices to the user, moving from an strange per-sub-device top-level tab to minor tabs along the left. This means replicating the memories, bank, and bank names tabs once per sub-device. 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. Fixes #739

[chirp_users] Chirp, RFNET Lookup, tones
by Serge Burjak 02 Apr '13

02 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

Hi Dan, I'm trying to opt out of the emails but I haven't been able to figure out how.

[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.

Sigh. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add support for testing writes to bitwise unit tests And fix a buglet found in the process. Related to the tests added in #547 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] bitwise: add "bit" type for reading arrays of single-bit flags. #727 Example usage: struct { char name[8]; bit ch_enable_flag[128]; u8 unknown[8]; } scan_list[17];

Is there any way to convert the attached file which was exported from a Yaesu FT8800. I want to be able to tranfer the same set of frequencies to my other radios so that they all match. They are the ICOM 208H, Icom W32A & BAOFENG UV-5R thank you for all you guys do. I love the CHIRP software. ________________________________ From: "chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com" <chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Sent: Monday, March 25, 2013 3:27 PM Subject: chirp_users Digest, Vol 51, Issue 50 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..."

[chirp_users] Chirp on Wouxun
by Corey Siegel, KJ6LDJ 26 Mar '13

26 Mar '13

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] support request
by John Schumacher 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hello, This is my first post to the group. I am very interested in using Chirp for programming my radios, but there are two that I do not see on the list. I seems that one can request that a radio can be added. Here are the radios below. I would like to request support for two radios that I own: 1. Yaesu FT-8100 2. Icom IC-T90A Thanks and 73 John N4DOU
