Re: [chirp_users] What did I do wrong? Bricked TH-9800

I have not performed the smoke test on mine yet. I usually leave the cable in it. I use it as a base so no reason to take the cable out. I had the thought that there is a possibility when you tried to plug it in, it might have been reversed? regards, K7NQB ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Tom Henderson <Tom(a)Henderson4.us> To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: [chirp_users] What did I do wrong? Bricked TH-9800 Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2018 07:45:12 -0500 So I let the smoke out of my TYT TH-9800 when connecting it to program using CHIRP. I had previously programmed it with CHIRP with no problems. However, this time I wasn't paying attention and left the radio on when I plugged in the USB cable. It instantly shut down and there was a wisp of smoke from the back of the radio. What did I do wrong? Plug it in while powered on? -- Tom Henderson _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Nick at papanick(a)netzero.net To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com ____________________________________________________________ Constant Fatigue Is A Warning Sign â€“ See The Simple Fix gundrymd.com http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL3231/5abce7fb4546a67fb17bfst02duc

Hi I'm having trouble getting my computer to talk to my radio. Have tried another chip in the cloning cable but no luck So does Chirp have a programme to suit my radio (Zastone ZT D9000) or can I use another "radio" to trick it into working mode. The error message I get is; "did not except programme MODE" Thanks for any help Barry

[chirp_users] Is repeaterbook import broken?
by Nolan Darilek 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Was entering the 40+ Travis County, TX repeaters by hand from repeaterbook, and happened to discover that Chirp supports import. Unfortunately, when I use the political region import feature, select Texas, Travis County, 2M band, I get a bunch of channels with no data and the frequency set to 0.00. Am I doing this incorrectly or is the feature no longer working? Thanks.

I am a newbie programming a UV-5r2+ using CHIRP. Could you help me with how to fill in the fields in CHIRP? I am going on a week long backcountry ski trip in British Columbia. The operation area radio frequency given to me is attached below. How do fill in the fields correctly listed in the screen shot of CHIRP below? Or do I not have enough information? I can’t figure out how to get the RX 170.100 and TX 169.110 on the same memory channel. Then I am not sure if I am entering the tone correctly? Thank you!

[chirp_users] Current mac computer, older Wouxun and bad cable
by John Pancoast 27 Mar '18

27 Mar '18

I use Apple Mac computers with the latest OS - 10.13 High Sierra. I bought a used Wouxun KG-UV3D with old programming cable. Needless to say, this combination doesn’t work. I think I have 2 problems: 1) the HT doesn’t communicate with the computer, and 2) the most current CHIRP software doesn’t appear to cover the KG-UV3D, though I could be wrong. RE: #! — I have seen on youtube that many times the older programming cables need to be updated. Can any Mac users suggest the proper cable for my MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) running OSX 10.13.3 ? RE: #2 — Should I use an older/ earlier release of the CHIRP software? If so, can you help me to access it? Thank you for your attention! John

Yaesu_clone change proposed by Dan - Thanks! I have only tested it on the FT-70, would be great to see it tested on other Yaesu radios. This replaces my last submitted patch.
