I used factory software to configure as a 2/220 radio it was showing 2/440. I can not save the programing in the factory software or upload the file from the radio it uploads a little and then gives a connection error. Factory will download to radio but once I close the program I get to start over again. Chirp will let me upload the file but, errors out the 220 repeaters but not the 220 simplex frequencies. If I edit and reenter the repeaters I can download the file to the radio and it works but I just opened the saved file on my computer and it has error'd out the repeaters again. Also as I enter frequencies in the radio, 2 meters shows an offset of .600 but by the time I add the offset that has changed to 0.00 same on 220 the offset changes to 0.0 even though I have entered a + or - offset. At least the radio is programmed so, thanks for the help.

When I try to download from my 82X it lists the 220 channels as "error" and the 82X is listed as supported on the web page but, not in the list in the program. Any suggestions? N7AM

@mmcabe: I am new also. I ran into the same type problems you are, using a Valley Enterprises cable, a Yaesu FT-60, and a Macbook. I solved it by reloading all 3 software apps again...Chirp, Python and PL2303...those being the software apps needed for my Macbook. Fearing a repeat need for this requirement, I have left my computer running since the software re-installs. But give this approach a try. It did work for me. And make SURE you execute the correct steps in the exact CORRECT ORDER vis-a-vis the computer/radio or you will get the same "errors" displayed that are bothering you now.. Good luck.

[chirp_users] BF-T1 - Duplex: OFF
by Drew from Zhrodague 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

I am really excited to see support for the BF-T1! However, I did notice that I am not able to set the Duplex setting to OFF. I like to listen to the local UHF police frequencies, but prefer to prevent accidental transmissions. I am able to disable transmit with my Baofeng UV-5Rs and with the WLN KD-C1 radios using CHIRP. I am using the deb-based chirp-daily repo under Ubuntu 16. Any ideas, or am I missing something?

[chirp_users] How to Edit columnb information in chirp csv file?
by ve5rmk＠sasktel.net 13 Jan '18

13 Jan '18

Hi: I am a New user of chirp, I downloaded a repeater file for my area from Repeaterbook. My Radio is a ICOM t70a, I wish to upload this file to my tranceiver. I have the t70a to display repeaters by Name! I can sort the Location names alphabetically in the comments column from A to Z which is what I want, but this randomly sorts the memory locations in the Loc column, eg: 25, 42, 52, 7........ I would like to have the repeaters to be in alpabetical order by location, AND have the memory Locations to be in order from 1to 58 as there is 58 repeaters. I would also like to change entries in the Name column to locations in alphabetical order instead of reapeater callsign as they are now. How would I do this? Any help Greatly appreciated!

I would like to have the display set up as: A: Name (2m band)B: Frequency (for A)C: Name (70cm band)D: Frequency (for B) Is it possible for A to scan 2m only and C to scan 70cm only, or, A&B to scan together and C&D to scan together? If so, what settings to I change in CHIRP to accomplish this? Thanks so much for your help.73'sDavid Mosley, LPOf all the roads you take in life, make sure some are DIRT!!!! Don't retreat, RELOAD!!!!

Do we want > the hobby to grow. or wither away as we all get old? The only problem there, is if the same lame question is being asked time and time and time again, then there is something seriously missing in the instructions, documentation or help files. More often than not, it's the creators of an application or package, that create that documentation (initially at least) but it's plain as the nose on our faces, that often they are "too close" to it all, to realise that some small but critical detail that is plain and obvious to them, is total smoke and mirrors to other people. As always, the devil is in the detail. In this case, my impression is that the documentation explaining the programming interface lead/hardware is often seriously lacking. Not helped any by the radio manufacturers in some cases, and the plethora of other sites on the inter-web, that often have conflicting information. 73. Dave G0WBX. (Who in the past has been, and will probably again be the noob who's been flamed for asking "dumb" questions. Plus at other times guilty as charged of the curt one liners. We've all done it I suspect. Hopefully I wont any more.)

It’s an RT cable. The problem seems to be that Chirp does not know the name of the output on USB.
