[chirp_users] How to empty or null tone channel in Chirp?
by survivor＠cryptolab.net 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

When I use Chirp to set radio channels, there are many columns I cannot let empty, unless I cannot save it or uploat to radio. Most repeaters here have no subtone and I cannot let tone column empty, or null or zero. In chirp, there is a preseted tone list from 67.0 to 254.1. When I power on the transceiver in frequency mode and ajust to repeater channel, I can hear people talking normally. When I power on in channel mode and choose the respective channel with the same frequency, I cannot hear people talking. Pearhaps, tone values are wrong and in most cases they are unnecessary. How to I solve this? I have a Baofeng UV-82 WITH 8 Watts (HP). Firmware 3 KEY: N822413 6 KEY: 140902N TKS PU4YOU

I just trimmed off all the punctuation spaces and made names 8 characters or less. Same problem, it imports and shows channels 0-34 fine but stops at 34 with errors: Line 35: [rtone] could not convert string to float: Line 36: [rtone] could not convert string to float: Line 37: [rtone] could not convert string to float: Line 38: [rtone] could not convert string to float: ... to the end of the list just after channel 70cm Cal: 31,WX9,161.775,,0,,88.5,88.5,23,NN,FM,5,,,,,, 32,WX10,163.275,,0,,88.5,88.5,23,NN,FM,5,,,,,, 33,70cm Cal,446,,0,,88.5,88.5,23,NN,FM,5,,,,,, 34,BAJA PIT,154.98,,0,,,,,,FM,,,,,,, 35,BECKER1,153.62,,0,,,,,,FM,,,,,,, 36,BECKER2,153.245,,0,,,,,,FM,,,,,,, Something is happening here between 33 and 34.

[chirp_users] fail programming a Jetstream JT270M

03 Jul '18

I am attempting to program a Jetstream JT270M using a Prolific cable. The CHIRP Error message pop-up says An error has occurred could not open com4 (Error 2) The system can not find the file specified. In the WIN10 Device manager listing for COM4 it says Driver provide is prolific Date is 10-17-2017 Version is 3.8.18.0 Device status is This device cannot start. (Code 10) A device which does not exist was specified. Can anyone help me out with this? -- Patricia Wilson Apache Junction, AZ Member NRA, ARRL WB8DXX (Extra)

[chirp_users] CSV Partial Load

Thanks for all the work you guys do on Dan Planet. I have a Btech UV-50X2 and have cloned the radio file successfully, added frequencies using the "import from stock config" lists, downloaded the freq's to the radio and have used them no problem. I wanted to add about 150 channels using the import function. I read the CSV how to page: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CSV_HowTo and watched youtube videos of others creating and importing CSV files. I looked through the 2018 and most of the 2017 archives and couldn't find anything pertinent. I''m experiencing a problem. I exported my radio's channel list and created an initial CSV file to work on. In the file, I don't see any dimmed out channels after the last channel like I see on youtube. When I open the CSV file in Excel, I see the coulumns headers and channel data as expected. I copy pasted frequencies and channel names and inserted sequential channel numbers and saved the new CSV file. When I use CHIRP to upload the channels from the CSV file which has the old channels and the channels, the program gives me an error for every new channel I added in this example channel #35: Line 35: [rtone] could not convert string to float: After hitting OK, I discover none of the new channels imported. Also when I open the CSV file in CHIRP to examine it, I get the same error and only see the original channels. I opened the CSV file using notepad and I didn't see any difference between the original channels and the old channels. I can enter the frequencies manually but who wants to do all that typing. Does anyone know why the new channels can't be imported? If it helps I copy pasted lines of the CSV file below... Thanks.

Greetings, *Platform:* I5 Laptop running Ubuntu 14.04. Prolific PL2303 USB to Serial programming cable. In the past, I have been able to access the UV-5R radio's configuration. The laptop's OS is up to date as well as the Chirp Daily Builds *dmesg:*** [ 1900.825659] usb 3-2: new full-speed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd [ 1900.842467] usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=067b, idProduct=2303 [ 1900.842475] usb 3-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 1900.842480] usb 3-2: Product: USB-Serial Controller [ 1900.842485] usb 3-2: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.

Thus far and to the best knowledge of the author, no UV-5R radios have been harmed by using CHIRP. However, proceed at your own risk!" And then results in: "could not open port /dev/ttyusb0: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/ttyusb0" *Question:* Has this issue been seen by someone in the group and a could you share your insight? I have searched the Ubuntu Forums and do not find a mention of this specific issue. The closest thread involved an OS upgrade to 16.04 that required an uninstall of the Chirp program/App and a reinstall. Since I appear to be dealing with a driver/dependency issue, I have not tried this approach. I will be posting this text to the Ubuntu Forums as well.

[chirp_users] DCS problem on BTECH UVX2-50
by Jean-Charles HUILLIER 29 Jun '18

29 Jun '18

Hello all, This is not stricly Chirp related but I need you help on programming my radios with selective DCS. I use the radios in a car racing team and I need to be abe to talk to this car or that car but also to all the cars at the same time. I have made a setup which runs fine to speak to each car individualy but I can't talk to all of them at the same time, here's what I did. Same frequency for all channels DCS RX specific to each car (X for car 1, Y for car 2, etc.....) No DCS TX on the cars radios so that when the driver speaks everyone car hear it (except the other cars of course) I made several channels on the pit radios with a matching DCS TX for car 1, car 2 and no DCS at all to be able to talk to the other pits radios) I'd like to make a new DCS RX on all cars (200) so that I could talk to ALL cars at the same time but when I program it on the cars radios it does not work, the car does not receive it. I made a dual watch so that the car receiving radio should switch from the "this car only" channel to the "all cars channel" but somehow it does not receive. What did I do wrong ? Thanks for the help
