[chirp_users] Kudos
by Tom Reis 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

With all the abrupt comments on this. I feel obliged to say thank you again. I am using this for programing my radios and several other Ham friend's radios. Generally any problems I have come back to operator error. If everybody that uses CHIRP as I do will make a small contribution to the cause, you'll sleep better at night and encourage Dan and the team. Thanks again. 73, Tom

I am currently uploading a new version of the Chirp LiveCD. It should be available around 0300 GMT. You may need to click on the 'Files' button to see the most recent version until the quick download links (big green button) update to the new version. sourceforge.net/projects/chirplivecd/ The only change in this release is updating Chirp to the 7Mar2013 daily. If you are using the previous version on a USB drive or through a virtual machine and have updated using the Chirp updater, then you are already up to date with this release. Bob

by ALAN 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hello ALL, 1.... I programed my Puxing px-2r UHF model and Chirp worked perfectly. Its a little older model but I love this little radio. Thank You for saving me the headaches of using the puxing software (garbage).... 2......Soon many frequencies will be going P25 digital, has anyone found any good prices on P25 radios?? They are tooo expensive so far. For me so far. Thank You for CHIRP Alan

[chirp_users] chirp.config file on Mac with chirp 0.3.0
by chirp.cordless＠xoxy.net 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi, I've updated to 0.3.0; from the file date on my Mac, on Feb 15. Previously I was using 0.2.3. Thanks, BTW, for odd splits on the FT-60. I'm on a Mac, running the latest OS X 10.8.2. Looks like a regression; chirp is no longer writing the file ~/.chirp/chirp.config It does read it on startup, but it's stuck at the version of Jan 18, which is likely the last time I used 0.2.3. The directory is writeable, and a debug.log file is created each session in ~/.chirp . I tried renaming chirp.config in case the file was locked somehow, sonow there is no such file, but chirp now starts up with no history, and doesn't create the file on exit. Perhaps I had to enable something and have forgotten. If so, please advise. I see no preference menu other than the two booleans under "Help". I tried searching the mail archives and bug list, and didn't see anything relevant. I got lost in the source at a call to gtk.main_quit(), and I'm too new to python to make any real progress on my own. Please advise. ... And just as I was getting ready to hit <send> I thought I'd try once more, and it created a chirp.config! Once. A dozen tries since, trying all combinations of toggling the help booleans, loading and closing a .img file, attempting to read or write a radio, ... and that one success has not been repeated. So it's not just broken, it's flakey. Sorry. If there's anything else I can do to support resolving this, let me know. Thanks and regards, -dan

This is a fine program, and it works perfectly with my BAOFENG UV5RA, but for the life of me I can not get CHIRP to see my Yaesu FT-7900 R/E. I have tried to use BOTH Mac and Windows, and while there are many other Yaesu models, the 7900 does not show up on the list. I see from some others here that they have brought it up.

[chirp_users] New Chirp User with questions
by KENNETH E REINARD 05 Mar '13

I handle the radios for a Search and Rescue Group in West Tennessee and like most organizations we are always tight on money so we are running test with Baofeng radios to help out our water and land operations on top of our Motorola gear. I was told to look into the Chirp software for all of our programming needs. I have a basic understanding of radio theory and I in my Day Job that pays the bills I am an engineer. Here is my question. Here there a basic document covering all the functions of Chirp, I figured out how to do the TX/RX repeater split from the FAQ but I have several goverment agencies that use different PL codes for the TX and RX in addition to some digital encoding. Some of these settings I would just like to know more about. Any info you have would be greatly appreciated and so far I enjoy using the software - I would just like to know more about it to leverage it to it's fullest. I have attatched one of my images so you will have some idea of what I am up to so far :-) Kenneth E. Reinard

I am trying to use the latest daily build of CHIRP and my USB cable for my BAOFENG UV-5R (which works beautifully with CHIRP) to download the programming from an ICOM W32A HT. Is there any special configuration at the radio that CHIRP is expecting (aside from just turning it on) as I keep getting CHIRP telling me that there was no response from the radio. I have tried putting the W32A into the clone mode .. and it seems to transmit data .. but CHIRP is not getting it. Thanks in advance.. -- John 73's de K9RSQ

[chirp_users] able to save "out of original range" memos
by André Berger 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

You`re doing a great job, really amazing. But I am still missing the possibility to add "out of range" into memo sheet, since chirp can "unlock", I mean, CHIRP can allow me to set up my Baofeng range from 1mhz to 1000mhz! I know many of you Are going to ask? Why? Well, I could tune, as previsouly said, some frequences low then 136mhz and I am still able to tune 4 freqeuncies around 980mhz loud and clear. Even if it is a "harmonic" interference, I couldn`nt find the original "tone". So, only in 983Mhz I can hear what is int this freq. as I posted one video. To add this memo I have to launch windows (in my mac), run the VIP software (that is not "unlocking" my device, I mean, VIp is not allowing me to set up out of original range frequences, as it used to do with some models, but...) that reconizes my "unlocked baofeng" ant let me add those memos! tks

[chirp_users] Noobie question
by Josef Zeevi 01 Mar '13

Hi folks, I'm new to chirp, but not to HAM. I've used EVE, VX<something>Commander, and a few other SW programming tools. I've run into an odd problem on VX5Commander with a radio, so I turned to Chirp to see if I could figure out why it's not working right. So, I loaded up Chirp and am trying to read from my VX7 to put that file into the VX5. However, when I click "Download from Radio" absolutely nothing happens. I'm "perfuzzled". The USB->serial cables I have are known to work with appropriate drivers. I'm running Win7 Pro-64 bit. Am I missing a step to get the pop-up to come up so I can download (and, eventually upload) to the radio? Y'alls help (yep, I'm in Texas) is greatly appreciated. josef

None of them would lock up at anything much above their stated range. None of them generated RF, nor would receive a +3dBm signal straight into their antenna jack.

I get the following error with daily releases for 2/24 & 2/25 on the Anytone 5888UV. The previous daily release read the radio fine, but it did not pick up on the transmit PL tone.

Gary N9PTC Just because a radio will receive something under some conditions, does not mean that it is "usable". I can listen to WWV in FM mode and hear the broadcast perfectly fine. I can listen to the various NOAA FM weather stations in AM mode and hear the broadcast perfectly fine. In Los Angeles I could listen to the (very near) local AM broadcast station on any frequency on some radios (including FM broadcast-only receivers). _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users

IIRC, we chose the limit upper boundary to be the highest useful frequency it can be used for. If it is really capable of locking that high on receive, then we should probably make it honor the limits set by the user instead of the arbitrary ones we chose.

[chirp_users] Anytone AT5888UV CHIRP build 2-24-2013
by William Griffith II 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

LOL certainly not ready for primetime. I advise not to use this software with your AT5888UV. Works maybe 20% the way you would want. Big trouble with data written to radio that in no way matches what's entered. Made my radio inoperable until I restored factory defaults. Platform, Windows 7, 32 bit professional. Software, CHIRP daily-20130224.

[chirp_users] FT8800R
by Jimmy Dominguez 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

I tried to read a FT8800 radio; I just get an error about not being able to read the header. I followed the 8800 process to put it in clone mode. I used the latest production version of Chirp. As you may be able to tell, this is my first time to try chirp, so if you can direct me on what information I may provide to aid in directing me that would be most welcome. Windows 7 laptop being used. Not urgent. Regards, Jimmy

[chirp_users] ICOM IC-2100H
by Lynch Scott-RTTV40 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

I did a read from my Icom IC-2100 using Chirp. All the memories that were in the radio were loaded into chirp successfully, but there was one additional column called ToneSql that was set for all channels to 88.5. I do not use a Receive tone squelch on any of the channels, so not sure why this column is showing up after the read from the radio. Also, there does not seem to be a way to set the ToneSql to not be active. The drop down menu for each channel does not have a "n/a" or "none" option, just more tone frequencies. How do I make the tone squelch inactive for the receive so I can add some frequencies to the current list and then write back to the radio? Can I just "hide" the ToneSql column and then when I do the write the ToneSql will not be written to the radio? Scott Lynch Freescale Semiconductor MSG R&D 480-413-2723

[chirp_users] Import error of Kenwood HMK file
by Kevin Whipp 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

I'm using the Chirp daily build 20130223 running on Windows 7. I am no longer able to import a HMK file into Chirp. I get an error window with the message "Unknown file format". I have attempted the import with files generated from both the MCP-2A and MCP-4A Kenwood programs. Did the import process break recently? ----- *Kevin Whipp* Phone: 240.242.9850 Amateur Radio: W3KDW Email: w3kdw(a)arrl.net | Winlink: w3kdw(a)winlink.org Schedule Meeting: http://schedule.whipp.us
