Hi jm, On Windows there is a Windows tool called snippet. You can use it to select as small a region of the display as you want. I imagine the result would be about 10K if you can use it. 73 ~R~ NE1EE On 2017-04-02 15:19:-0700, Jim McIver wrote: >Tried leaving a blank row in chirp, but I loaded to radio, it just moved row below up into blank.

[chirp_users] Fwd: baofeng 82c
by Jim McIver 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

Purchased a baofeng uv-82c as a backup for my kenwood tk-2170. Chirp won't read the tk-2170 so I am trying to match columns from kenwood program to chirp and don't know what goes where. Where can I get help to make the baofeng work? Attached is what I'm up against. Yes, I've read through all I can find about the baofeng, but lack the knowledge to know all the terminology. Is there a cross reference from kenwood columns to chirp columns? I think I have rows 0 through 6 correct, but now sure about 7 through 10. That's as far as I've gotten. The rest of the rows came from someone's not in my area. Q? how can I leave a blank line in the chirp? Q? Does kenwood QT/DQT Enc go into Chirp ToneSql? Q? How do I know if TSQL is correct Tone Mode in Chirp or should I be using something else in this column? Q? Where do I put the 203.5 from kenwood QT/DQT Dec & QT/DQT Enc in Chirp? thx, -Jim McIver

I have a vx-264 vertex radio i am trying to clone / program. The only vertex shown is a vxa-700. I tried that and it did not work. Any other profile on chirp which would work for cloning / programming? Thanks

[chirp_users] FT-897 VFO fields
by k7wxw 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

Downloading the memory from the FT-897 reveals a number of fields that appear to determine the VFO frequency and operating mode for each band when the band switch is used. That is, the band switch cycles through this list of memories to determine the frequency, mode, and frequency step in HF and that plus the tone and offset in VHF and UHF. There are also memories for the HOME frequencies. Can CHIRP be used to set these memories, reliably? Does anyone know if the band switch will behave erratically if these fields are changed? 73 de Bill K7WXW _____________ wag more, bark less.

[chirp_users] Baofeng GT-3
by ve3zxs＠gmail.com 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

Cannot seem to get the connection to this GT-3. I can connect to the uv-5r and the GT-3TP but the straight doesn't seem to connect. When I connect and use the BF-F8HP as it has the GT-3 listed below it on the website it tell me that it is not the correct model. Does the GT-3 need a separate driver for this radio? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you 73 Sent from my iPhone

Craig, For the longest time, the only way I knew how to program my UV-82, was using CHIRP. The first video below lifted my blinders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrG0El1KkIM I didn't have to much to start using CHIRP, other than roll back to a previous version of the driver, as advised on MILKOR, but the video below may help you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwcgBDI3vTo Hope that helps you get going. -baji. ~~ K 8 I I T _ On Sat, Apr 1, 2017 at 7:14 AM, Craig Kalsa wrote: Hello - I am new to ham radio and studying for my license as a casual user > / prepper.

Does CHIRP allow programming of single menu options such as the text of the power on message (PONMSG)? Is there a list of programmable items? Thanks,Mark

Hello - I am new to ham radio and studying for my license as a casual user / prepper. I have 2 new 82Ls and have spent a great deal of time trying to find a video on YouTube that can get me up and running in the 28205 / Charlotte area. So far, I have been in Miklor and CHIRP but can't figure out how to find, program and enjoy my radio. I have loaded the correct cable drivers, downloaded my factory image and have found various lists of pubic safety and amateur frequencies; even donated to CHRIP. I want to listen, scan and use as two-way while camping. Is there a good reference, video or otherwise that can help get me up and running? Regards, Craig

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 01 Apr '17

01 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-20170401 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #474 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Fix radio drivers with invalid tuning step lists. #4689 New step list sources: IC-V82/U82: manual VX-5: radio menu VX-7: manual [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] [THD72] Fix PEP8 regression from #1611. [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] For radios without tuning steps, test 10 KHz down from the edge. #4689 This should be compatible with virtually any radio. [SASANO Takayoshi <uaa(a)mx5.nisiq.net>] Add IC-P7 support. This is Japanese model of IC-P7A, ticket New Model #1947. I hope IC-P7A/IC-E7 will work. Supported features * Regular Memory (CH 0 to 999) editing - Bank settings (Bank, Bank Index, Bank Name) - DTCS settings (DTCS code, DTCS polarity) - Frequency (0.495000-999.990000MHz), Mode, Offset, Tuning step settings - Memory Name setting - CTCSS tone setting (Tone, TSQL) Not supported features: * Train SQL setting in memory * Common radio settings (Beep, Display, Bank Link, RF power, etc...) * Scan Edge CH, Auto Write CH, TV CH, CALL CH editing [Dale Tyler <chirp16(a)tylerent.com>] [ft857] FIx exception due to wrong data type Fixes #4239 Fixes a problem with dig_disp (Menu 036) and dig_shift (Menu 039) where the entered value would be mutiplied by 256 and thus would likely cause an exception due to a range error. For example, a value of 30 would be interpreted (incorrectly) as 768 which is out of the acceptable range -300 <= x <= 300. [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] [UV-B5] Revert TX inhibit feature, because the trick only works on b-band. #837 On a-band, this TX inhibit trick casues the radio to transmit spurious emissions on multiple frequencies.

To clarify my post of earlier today, I did purchase a genuine Baofeng OEM cable and disk. That is the one I had been having problems with until I resoldered the wires. -- jdmeaux2002(a)gmail.com Moe K2JDM
