I have alot of the skip parameters on. When I scan, it bypasses these channels. I know how to change them one at a time. How do I change multiple skip at one time? Thank you! Bob

I have recently purchased a BTech two bander, have several other similar 2M/.70cm HT’s that work great; still not sure if it is programmed correctly on 220, receives local repeat fine but doesn’t seem to open it. Unfortunately it isn’t used much. Used CHIRP to program it and it only has CTSS on up. Also found a Yeasu FT24 HT on sale for under $70 dual band, very nice little radio. As far as the FCC releases, need to read the attached document apparently sales were stopped in Feb 2018 much later than ordered Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 4, 2018, at 3:00 PM, chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com wrote: > > 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..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

[chirp_users] FCC Cites Baofeng Importer for Illegally Marketing Unauthorized RF Devices
by David Ranch 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Will the FCC start going after other resellers of various Chinese radios that can transmit outside of Part 90 frequencies? --David KI6ZHD http://www.arrl.org/news/fcc-cites-baofeng-importer-for-illegally-marketing… The FCC has issued a Citation and Order (Citation) to Amcrest Industries, LLC (formerly Foscam Digital Technologies, LLC), an importer and marketer of popular and inexpensive Baofeng hand-held transceivers, alleging that the company violated FCC rules and the Communications Act by illegally marketing unauthorized RF devices.

[chirp_users] I had a driver, then I lost it. (Mac OS issue)
by T.E. Klamberg Klamberg 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

I had installed the driver for a USB cable from Valley Enterprise for my Yaesu FT-60. Three installs and it (Mac) finally recognized the driver and cable. That was six months back. I acquired another cable for my Yaesu FT-29 2m radio. I must have got an OS update (High Sierra OS, version 10.13.6) that I cannot call up the drivers for either one (it should be only one driver upgrade). I haven’t even got to the part of trying to get Chirp to frustrate me! I know there are folks out there that have more computer smarts than I, especially when it comes to Mac. Anyone have any ideas, short of becoming a programmer? Thanks. Tip N9MVX Mascoutah, IL

[chirp_users] ft897
by randy true 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Chirp has suddenly stopped communicating with my 897. I have checked all com port settings in the program/computer/and radio All are OK. The 897 will still work with other programs on the same com port. Rebooted, no jot. Should I try and reset the radio? Randy W4RTT
