[chirp_users] MacOS - Chirp Windowing Misalignment
by Jerry Weiss 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

I have a problem with Chirp on MacOS, specifically 10.12 or 10.13 with the most recent build or (much) older ones. I have two separate Mac's, one is my regular machine and the other is a test machine I just loaded with the latest downloads for chirp and python today. On both my mouse cursor doesn't track accurately with controls or cells in the Chirp window. The offset is vertical about 1 or 2 cells or controls typically. When this occurs I either see the bottom of the screen is either truncated or has a black band at the bottom, equal to the amount of offset. If I resize the screen, the cursor alignment is restored for a while, but it never lasts for more than a few actions. No special mouse/cursor software installed. Anyone seen this before? Separate question - is there a way to search archives? Thanks and regards, Jerry - WB9MRI

[chirp_users] FT-857D memory banks?
by KJ6EWX 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

Hello All, I just downloaded my 857D’s memory to CHIRP. I have the memory banks turned on (although nothing saved to them) and in CHIRP I do not see any ‘banks’. Does CHIRP not support this? Or is it something else? Maybe that I don’t have any entries saved in banks? Thanks _________________

[chirp_users] Easy Way to Print Baofeng Channel Listing
by Bob Miller 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

I am an old guy who just recently got back into Amateur Radio after fifty years and my first purchase was a Baofeng UV-82HP to experiment with on two meters. Kudos to the people who gave Chirp to the World, however, I think I need a Cheat Sheet of sorts so I would like to print the channel listing when I clone my radio. I hope such a utility is available and I just haven't found it. Incidentally Repeaters hadn't been invented the last time I was into Ham Radio. Bmiller(a)jocoed.net KN4MWQ

[chirp_users] Installation file.
by Dennis Wage 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

Dan, I cannot delete the chirp daily installation file from Explorer on 10. This has happened to me twice, it's not every time with every file. I have to go to a dos prompt to delete. I run a tight ship PC and this seems weird. Dennis M.

[chirp_users] More communications problems
by Bruce Warren 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

My problems continue. I have a Yaesu VX-6R and am using Chirp on a Mac. My prior issue was an incompatibility between my operating system and the USB driver. I can now communicate and download from my radio to my computer. But, I cannot upload from the computer to the radio. When I try to upload, the process starts and I can see the blue progress bar. Then, the radio reports an "Error" and Chirp just sits there doing nothing. I have tried downloading the one programmed frequency and then immediately uploading it, but get the error described above. I have also tried with data I enter directly into Chirp. Any ideas?

[chirp_users] Mac to Vaesu communication problem
by Bruce Warren 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

I am using a Mac with OS 10.6.8. I want to use Chirp to communicate with a Yaesu VX-6R. I have a USB cable from RT Systems specifically designated for the Yaesu. I installed the driver and my computer says it recognizes the USB cable. I installed a version of Chirp and it does not crash. When I try to download from my radio using Command-D, I get a window for selecting the Port, Vendor, and model. Under the choice for Port, I get two options: "/dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync" and "/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem". When I try with "/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem", it immediately tells me it cannot open the port. When I try with " /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync", it tries to do something and then errors out, saying: "Failed to communicate with the radio." Any ideas on what is wrong or what I can do to fix it?
