[chirp_users] Elecraft Support
by Jon Moody 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

I am almost afraid to ask but looking through the previous years mailing lists... I didn't see any discussion of this. Also looking at the roadmap did not see any mention either. So does Chirp have any plans on supporting the Elecraft products in the future ? Such as K3, KX3 or K2 ? -- Thanks Jon

Tnx. That was nice but got it going. Jim- kc9hi knew the fix. Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package needed to be loaded. Some XP versions don't have it.

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

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?

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 14 Mar '13

14 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.

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

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 08 Mar '13

08 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

Re: [chirp_users] Chinese Radio Bofeng Info - Good/Bad?
by Tim Billingsley 07 Mar '13

> Can anyone recall or explain why these radios are being discouraged to be > used? Something about frequency separation or bleed over??? I believe it was intermod/cross channel interference issues. I know several guys that have these radios and they have not mentioned such issues to me. I am nit in a dense metro area but we are close enough that I think that would be obvious if it were a serious problem.

I don't about Marine frequencies but it is illegal to use this radio to transmit on GMRS, FRS or MURS frequencies here in the USA as it is not Part 95 certified.

I think I can get that done now. I don't have them all loaded yet, I am not used to the interface, but I think I can figure it out. Problem Is, I don't have the right channels with the correct numbers. I will eventually figure it out. Marine and GMRS frequencies are provided as stock configs under the File menu.

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. Please help me, at least show me how to ask others how to get my computers to see my Yaesu. Apple Macintosh CHIRP 0.3.0 GTK 2.24.10 PyGTK 2.22.0 Python 2.7.2 Thank you in advance Mark Fernandez

[chirp_users] New Chirp User with questions
by KENNETH E REINARD 06 Mar '13

06 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
