[chirp_users] baofeng/kenwood mic
by Jim McIver 07 Apr '17

Can anyone recommend a speaker mic for a baofeng 82c that will convert it to a single channel and also work with a kenwood tk-2170 and have a 2.5mm ear piece adapter? I'm thinking of this one and pickup a 3.5mm male to 2.5mm female adapter, but it doesn't mention the tk-2170. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BYMKKT4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF… thx, -jm

[chirp_users] trying to program Kenwood F6a
by Jake McGill 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

Bough a cable for my Baofeng and Kenwood F6a. Can download and uplaod on Baofeng but Kenwood has problem. First- I am using the F6 as the model number because there is no F6A listed. When I try to download I get two different types of failure-1- sometimes get the transmit LED on the radio blinking once or twice and then but I get a blank grey main chirp pageorIf I use Detect for model name, I get a delay and then a "No response from radio" error message. Is it possible that this cable only works on the Baofeng? Jake

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20170406 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #475 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-5R] "Incorrect 'Model' selected." error When Baofeng started shipping tri-power radios back in 2014, the firmware version format could be used to identify if the detected radio had 2 power levels (HIGH/LOW) or 3 power levels (HIGH/MID/LOW). CHIRP would then use this firmware version to not only determine if the user had selected the correct radio model, but also to present the only settings that were available on the selected model. Recently Baofeng radio models with 3 power levels have been shipping with with the HN5RV001 firmware version. This same firmware version, as it has for the last 2 years, continues to ship in radio models that have only 2 power levels. This firmware version defeats CHIRP's ability to differentiate on its own between these two model types. This patch addresses the problem in 2 ways. 1. for radios with the HN5RV001 firmware version, CHIRP will assume that the user has selected the correct radio model. The selected model is then appended to the end of the image so CHIRP can identify the radio model when image is loaded back into CHIRP at a later time. 2. the driver will now selectively uploads the image in ranges, thus bypassing specific areas of memory that must not be overwritten by images from radios with a different firmware version. This patch also addresses, in a similar way, a related problem where the radio does not report a firmware version at all to CHIRP. releated to issue #4445 and many others

Trying to attach a jpg that shows the kenwood tk-2170 on top and baofeng 82c on the bottom. Does it look like I'm programming the baofeng correctly to match the kenwood? thx, -jm

I order a new cable that I was told to make sure it has the FTDI. I don't know what that means but I am willing to give it a shot & will let you know if it worked or not... Thanks for all the help. Ronald

Just an idea. When I moved to where I live now I had no idea as to the frequencies in use so I went to a local ham club and found someone who kept an up to date list of frequencies and was nice enough to give me a copy. Maybe you can check around in your area and have similar luck.

Search and Rescue in my area doesn't use any ham frequencies, just frequencies between 136-174mhz. I have 128 channels in my kenwood tk-2170 that includes a 5 county area. I'm probably looking at months to figure it out. The kenwood shows None in the QT/DQT Dec, so I don't know if I should leave the Tone to the default of 88.5. Tedious typing as I only have 17 of the 128 keyed so far and looks like I'll have to change some when I figure what might work. thx,-jm From: "Jim Unroe" <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com> To: "Chirp" <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Sent: Sunday, April 2, 2017 4:24:11 PM Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Fwd: baofeng 82c On Sun, Apr 2, 2017 at 6:57 PM, Jim McIver <jmciver(a)lmtribune.com> wrote: > Ok.

TSQL is used to TX with a particular CTCSS tone and to RX with the same CTCSS tone. You never need to have a tone to RX so you can receive just fine using setting Tone Mode to Tone and setting the Tone column to the desired CTCSS tone. If you program a RX tone and the other station does not transmit the matching (on none at all as in the case for many ham repeaters), you will never hear anything. None always works.
