Re: [chirp_users] How to get a printable copy of the rekpeaters I installed on my unit

You don't say what the unit is. If it is e.g. a VHF-only device with only about 20 repeater channels you could do worse than pasting a screen-shot into Word via Paint and printing it. Very easy to do, and useful provided you don't want to alter it very often.

[chirp_users] BTech UV-5X3
by Dave Hartman 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

I recently bought a BTech UV-5x3 and found that the Wouxun cable works just fine for it...sort of. I had to trim away a lot of the rubber/plastic so it fits all the way into the radio. On my Win7 machine I had no problem loading frequencies. My Win10 machine, however, was a different story. It kept replacing the working cable driver with the "best" driver that doesn't work at all. So I cracked open the USB end and replaced the Prolific interface with an FTDI interface. After finding out that the RxD and TxD wires are reversed, I got it going on both machines. The load from a stock source is a real nice touch! -- Dave - AC2GL

Sorry for using band width; however, I appreciate the work in progress nature of the list and the developers’ work. My new Boateng BF-F8HP had no issues with loading the channels. Thanks, Arni W5SRO

[chirp_users] TYT 9800 Offset saving
by Alec DiAstra 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

I have noticed multiple bug reports for this issue but not sure if there is a resolution. WHen programming a TYT9800 (i have the "plus" with repeaters, The offset is not saved properly to the memory. I believe that it actually saves the TX/RX frequencies so the repeater will work as long as you do not change anything. As soon as you enter the menu and save something, it breaks and can not be resolved from the radio. here is a link to the tyt bugs, the first few are all about this issue http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/issues?set_filter=1&f%5B%5D=subje…

[chirp_users] Baofeng GT-5TP
by Malcolm Larkin 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Hi all, I have done a search regarding support for the Baofeng GT-5TP as I didn’t find it in the list when connecting to it. I recently got a couple as I have had UV-5R’s and wanted new less beaten up handhelds. CHIRP doesn’t like them when selecting other model numbers, the results range from just timing out/reporting wrong model/ reporting too much data. The CHIRP Site says to use “UV-82HP” It errors out with “Incorrect ‘Model’ selected” (on version “daily-20171104”) I have been able to use the extremely hokey application from Baofeng called “UV82 Series Program Software.( US2S35 VIP Version)” The details of firmware I can find when turning on are: (“3” when turning on) Ver N82301 (“5” when turning on) 160408N Any suggestions/updates appreciated. If there is any steps I can provide or give report access to my pc with the radio attached please let me know. I don’t model making international calls either.

But until that happens for you, as simple workaround is to set TOT to it's lowest value. The the radio will only transmit for 15 seconds and timeout. Then download from the radio into CHIRP, program a channel that has TX inhibited (Duplex = "off"). You can then set TOT back to its original value and from now on select the TX inhibited channel whenever you are going to program your radio. Jim

[chirp_users] 2. Baofeng UV-5R Just transmits when connected to computer
by 731kdb 08 Nov '17

Tried adding myself to the dial out. I have also used this cable before successfully so I don't think it's a cable issue. I can turn on the radio with the cable plugged into the radio and disconnected from the computer and it doesn't transmit. Still having the same problem after trying all the solutions. Is there any other possibilities? Thanks. Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Tablet

I have a machine running Ubuntu Mate. When I connect and turn on my Baofeng UV-5R radio it will transmit and will not let me use Chirp. I also have a Windows 7 computer that does the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.

[chirp_users] FT1XD can read but writing fails

Hello, After a MARS mod, I tried to load the previous config for my radio and get the following error on every attempt: > ERROR: -- Exception: -- > ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 247, > in run > self.__radio.sync_out() > File > "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/yaesu_clone.py", line > 241, in sync_out > _clone_out(self) > File > "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/yaesu_clone.py", line > 160, in _clone_out > raise errors.RadioError("Failed to communicate with the radio: %s" > % e) > RadioError: Failed to communicate with the radio: Radio did not ack > block 1 > > ERROR: ---------------- > ERROR: Clone failed: Failed to communicate with the radio: Radio did > not ack block 1 > ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: Failed to communicate with the radio: > Radio did not ack block 1 --- > ERROR: None > I can read the config from the radio with no errors, but cannot write back to it. Chirp version: CHIRP daily-20171104 Cable: Yaesu SCU-19 OS: Ubuntu 14.04 I had previously been able to program this radio with Chirp and this cable, so I would think the problem is either the MARS mod or a change in Chirp. -- Tom Henderson
