[chirp_users] FT-7900R features
by Russell Kinner 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

I’m using Chirp to program my Baofeng unit and wanted to do the same for my FT-7900R but have run into 2 items that I haven't found to control some minor items in the Yaesu unit. The basic frequency, tone and offset are just fine. 1. I’ve previously used RT Systems to program my FT-7900R and that software has a Hyper Memory that can configure the 5 buttons around the display (labeled 1-5). I can’t seem to find where to set that on Chirp. Is that available? 2. I cannot seem to set the display for each channel to frequency or Name. Again, that is available in RT Systems and I am guessing it is also available on Chirp but where? What I have works for the basics and I am glad for that but learning the software does take a little time. Possibly there is a tab I haven’t tried. *Rusty, WA8ZID*

The cheap cable are not a real problem as long as you use the older driver.

My greatest problem is finding a cable that really works. Some of the USB to serial cables are defective clones and have cost me a bundle trying to either find or build a good one. Never had an issue with Chirp. Thank you for the software. There are two ways to go with this: - Buy one good FTDI to DE9 cable and then buy only serial cables for each radio - Or switch to Linux where there are no driver issues Tom KD7LXL _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to amnon at amnon.zohar(a)gmail.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe@ intrepid.danplanet.com

Re: YOUR SOFTWARE IS JUNK Hey, ALL these individual that have the audacity to criticize need to take a step back and try to connect with their 1 brain cell... Maybe they can do better!!?? ... if not go and buy some dedicated programming software @ $100 a pop!! ...otherwise just zip it!! I have used CHIRP for many years, programmed MANY radios of different manufacture and always had my queries answered and questions solved by the team I think ALL the guy's that contribute to the development of this SUPERB piece of software are doing a sterling job and I wish I had half of the programming knowledge that these guy/girls have. Keep up the good work CHIRP teams ...just ignore the negative individuals. 73's Eric On Mon, Jul 31, 2017 at 12:00 PM, < chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> wrote: > Send chirp_users mailing list submissions to > chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of chirp_users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

[chirp_users] PowerWorx

Does anyone have a very good relationship with the management of POWERWERX.COM? I have tried to speak to them about CHIRP but they are under some prejudice that CHIRP bricks radios so that they are unrecoverable. If someone knows the owner, I'd like to lobby for acceptance of this fine software with the object that they could persuade some companies to share programming data with the developers of CHIRP. 73 DR N1EA

Hello Mike, Thanks for the off-list direct reply (copied below). Others including myself are trying to help you but we don't get responses from you to help fix the problem that you are having. A screen print of your Device Manager showing the COM ports that are being recognized would help. You can upload such a screen shot anonymously to http://imgur.com. Just post the link they will give you. As you have just been told, your COM port is not being seen. Can you see your comport under Device Manager? What you wrote to me doesn't even make sense. i am going to spent my time with software that will not works > CHIRP works fine. It supports the COM port that you have. You haven't answered any question that has been asked of you, but you complain. If you want to answer some questions we can find what the problem is that you are having. Thousands of people use this software every day. A few have problems, but usually it is just an operator error. If you would like to write to the list calmly, we could help you find the error you have. Often it is a cable that is defective. Some cables do not fit in the radios. Often - with Windows - the user has purchased a cable with a counterfeit electronic chip in it they are based on the Prolific PL-2303 USB chip. Windows detects the chip and updates the driver, and the driver now updated won't work with the fake chip in the USB to serial port converter. There are suitable converters - they are based on the FTDI chip. Here is a USB to Serial Port converter that is FTDI based. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004ZMYTYC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF… You've asked for help, people have responded to you, but you fail to respond to questions. Can you show us a screen shot of the Port being recognized by Device Manger? If it's recognized by Device Manager, it WILL be seen in CHIRP.

[chirp_users] totally confused
by Mark Blackwell 29 Jul '17

29 Jul '17

Brand new to linux, but just managed to get Linux to run with Ubuntu on a laptop and now trying to get Chirp. Right now the laptop has a problem with the networks. It can connect to a wifi, but nothing after that. Will likely just try to download on another computer and transfer Chirp over via a usb drive. When I read the instructions though, Ubuntu refers to something called a PPA which I do not see any information on what it is, what it needs, and not much about how its installed. It gives a couple of lines of code, but have no idea where it should be typed. To the real pros, this probably is so basic as to be assumed knowledge, but in my first 8 hours of linux its a bit overwhelming. I saw a live CD, but that looks like you must boot from the CD every time you need to use Chirp. Is that a practical and viable way to do it, even if linux is already installed? Any help is appreciated. -- Mark Blackwell markshamradio(a)pobox.com
