Retevis H-777H Query
by Jamie Bartlett 26 Jun '25

26 Jun '25

Hi all, I'm currently trying to program a Retevis H-777H walkie talkie from a .img file that has been provided to me. I cannot upload it to the radio as the correct port is selected, but the model selector is greyed out. I cannot copy the module over as when I read from the radio the frequency is an immutable category. I purchased this radio to officiate american football games so I need to be able to operate around the 449 Mhz frequency. Please tell me if I can get this to work with the radios I have already purchased or recommend a different model that would be suitable. Thanks for the help, Jamie

What is your implication? It's not a FRS radio because it has only 16 channels?

[I apologize for turning this into a meta-discussion mostly unrelated to CHIRP, but feel that some facts need to be cleared up.] As I understand it, there are 2 issues here: 1) There are some fake chips which newer drives refuse to work with. 2) There are some legitimate Prolific parts that for some unknown reason, Prolific doesn't want to support on Windows 11. Case #2 is obviously not the user's fault. I'd argue that case #1 is also not the user's fault, unless the item they bought was described as "cable with fake Prolific chip". Punishing the end user for either seems unfair. Canon tried pulling trick #2 with their LiDE scanners, and VueScan showed that this was just a money grab by Canon (to sell entire new scanners users didn't need), and it provides its own scanner driver that is perfectly happy running those old scanners on new Windows versions. Microsoft just takes whatever drivers a hardware manufacturer pro- vides and bundles them into the monthly update. This has led to many problems in the past and will continue into the future, as they can just say "Go talk to the company that wrote the driver - you didn't by Windows directly from us, so you don't get any support from us". Besides, they're busy enough fixing their own bugs that break systems when updated. I also find it amusing that people are holding FTDI up as some ex- ample of a great company that doesn't do this - I guess the fact that FTDI intentionally bricked fake FTDI chips instead of just refusing to support them has faded from memory. Here's a refresher: https://www.zdnet.com/article/ftdi-admits-to-bricking-innocent-users-chips-…

VX-3r
by Ricardo Duran 23 Jun '25

23 Jun '25

Hello, In March I was able to program my vx-3r with Chirp but today when I wnt and edited my vx-3r and tried to upload the changes, I get the message that the "radio did not ack block 1" Neither does it want to read from my radio. It uploads my vx-5r fine, but here too it will not download from either of my two radios (vx-3r, vx-5r) Thanks, Ric, WD7U

Radtel RT-12?
by Gunnar Mathiason 18 Jun '25

18 Jun '25

Hello, I'm trying to find a way to program the Radtel RT-12 with Chirp. The compatibility list says that the Radtel RT-10 can be programmed as a Retevis RT22, so maybe there a similar solution for Radtel RT-12 as well. I have not found a solution for this. /Gunnar

Baofeng 5RH PRO radio
by Chris Hart 08 Jun '25

08 Jun '25

Hi there, I have this model radio and wish to program it. Unfortunately as an Apple Mac user I cannot run the manufacturers software written for MS Windows. I am hoping that CHIRP can be my answer but this model radio does not appear to, as yet be compliant. Would you please add Baofeng 5RH PRO to CHIRP? Can you give a rough idea when this might happen? CHIRP works well with my Baofeng UV 5R - thank you. Good wishes, Chris
