[chirp_users] Yaesu ft2900 no connection
by RolyT 07 Mar '18

Why doe’s Chirp have the Yaesu FT2900 listed as one that can be programmed. I purchased a lead with disc, the disc has programs for other radios but the one for Yaesu is in Chinese so hoped that Chirp would do the job. It fails with the error—cannot find header and since then after searching around at least 2 years ago people were having problems but looking through them no one seems to have an answer. Am I doing something wrong, I have a Boafeng and that works fine. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

[chirp_users] Thanks to the group

Thanks to the Chirp developers for supporting this project. There was a bit of a learning curve for me, but I finally got three of my radios programmed using Chirp. (I had been using RT Systems before but switched to Chirp when I switched my systems to Linux.) I recently moved to Alaska so I've had to not just rearrange channels, but do a complete reprogram of all repeaters, nodes, and simplex frequencies. To any other fellow Chirp-newbies out there this was the process I used: 1. Find cables that worked with my radios (the RT Systems ones wouldn't), 2. Download what was already programmed in my radios, 3. Export to a CSV file so I would have the formatting right, 4. Work with the new channels I wanted in LibreOffice: 1. Change the layout of my spreadsheets from the way RTSys was arranged to the way Chirp is laid out, 5. Paste values into the CSV exports, 6. Import into Chirp, 7. Upload into the radios, I still have an Icom Ht that I'm having communication issues with (no pun intended), but once I get that worked out I should be in business. Anyway, thanks to the developers for making an open source and cross platform programming option. 73, Brandon Clark, KL7BSC

[chirp_users] CSV file.
by Dennis Wage 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

The answer to my question is pretty apparent, but I want to double check. In the CSV file I'm assuming that some, most or all of the numeric columns cannot be blank or set to zero. Example: Changing tone mode to (None) in Chirp is blank in csv. However if I change rToneFreq, cToneFreq which are now unused to 0 or blank I get an error when importing. So when tone mode is set to none rToneFreq cToneFreq are simply ignored? Dennis M.

[chirp_users] Problems connecting Yaesu FT-2900r
by Peter Ryan 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Hi Guys: I just received my Valley Enterprise Yaesu FT-2900R cable (RPC-YM6-UF). Upon trying to connect CHIRP on my MACBOOK 10.9.5 Maverick XOS, and the MARS-modified 2900R radio, I get an error message of: "Could not open port (error #2)...no such file or directory."I am successful with connecting my Yaesu FT-60 to the Mac, and I did not make any changes to the computer before attempting to hook up the FT-2900R, but with the FT-2900 cable plugged in, I do get an new extra choice in my drop down menu "RADIO: Download from radio" "serial" box choices. The FT-60 works using the original "/DEV/cu.usbserial", but the FT-2900R fails to work with either that older choice, or the new choice of "/DEV/cu.usbserial-A107368". I have gone to the various CHIRP help forums, and there is a lot about using a build made before some date before circa 06/2016 for a MARS "modded" radio, but that seems to relate only to a PC using Windows. The MacBook info didn't seem to relate to a need for an earlier "build". Indeed, I couldn't find any new builds for a MAC since 2016. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help in advance.MacBook 10.9.5Yaesu Ft-2900R mobile radio Valley Ent. FT-1900/2900 FTDI cable

[chirp_users] Trouble with iOS 10.13.3
by Scott Brady 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

Hello, I have been trying in vain to get my radio to talk with CHIRP on my Macbook Pro running 10.13.3. I have downloaded and installed the latest cable drivers and the latest CHIRP build. I have verified that the cable is recognized, but when I try to download from the radio, even with the correct radio (UV-5RV2+) and port (/dev/cu.usbserial), it simply hangs and says that the radio did not respond. All of the software works great on my PC, but I have been trying to get the Mac version to work for a long time with no luck. I have scanned countless forums and mail lists, but I have yet to find a solution. The cable I have is a Baofeng cable (it says Baofeng right on it), so I assume that this is not a cheap junk cable. I have attached the debug log below. Can anyone help please!!
