[chirp_users] FRS/GMRS CSV file only 4 channels?
by John Kemker 03 May '18

03 May '18

I'm trying to program FRS/GMRS frequencies into a radio and keep running into the problem that only the first 4 memory slots in the file will display in CHIRP. If I open the file with a text editor (vi/vim is my editor of choice), I can see every channel. Use CHIRP and nada. Any ideas? -- --John E Kemker III

Ok, but this was the only way I could get a good read. There was a couple other squelch settins were greater than 123 so now that I can read the values I can change them to the correct values.

You just made the bad value acceptable in CHIRP. You should change the bad value (208) to something valid (1 to 123) and upload it to your radio. The value it was supposed to be would be 1 higher than the next lower squelch threshold setting or 1 lower than the next higher squelch threshold setting since they usually increment by 1 from the factory. Then you can set line 1662 back to 123.

[chirp_users] Can't add repository
by Glenn At Home 27 Apr '18

27 Apr '18

Hi, I have done this many times before, I don't know if the error is coming from the site or if it means something is amiss with my system. I just today installed Ubuntu Mate 16.4.3 onto USB and ran an update. Than in a terminal, I ran: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots and I get the error: input output error and the PPA isn't added. Any thoughts?

Well I did this, see below, and it worked. Edit uv5r.py and line 1662 change the 123 to 255. I was able to do a complete read with no errors. The problem was in the UHF squelch settings is was set by default to 208. I left the default as 208. -------- Original message -------- From: Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com> Date: 4/27/18 12:48 (GMT-06:00) To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Subject: Re: [chirp_users] uv-82 settings does not show up using latest build On Fri, Apr 27, 2018 at 12:39 PM, aj4ck1 <aj4ck1(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Is there anyway that I can do this, like remove the battery for 24 hrs.

Attached is the STDERR output. Your radio has a squelch threshold setting that is out-of-range. Unfortunately a RESET is neither a "reset" or a "factory" reset. Email your downloaded image to me and I will email it back with a value that is in range.

[chirp_users] programming
by wb3dye＠aol.com 27 Apr '18

I have a basic programming question maybe someone knows the answer---As an example--I downloaded from repeater book lets say 10 channels. Several days later I activate Chrip again to add more frequencies via repeater book I did thew\ download and find out that the first ten channels data has disappeared and replaced by the second set of frequencies. My question: How do I prevent that from happening? 73' Bob WB3DYE
