Jim explained that the RT22 driver behaves differently from most, in that it appends the model used to download to the end of the image for detection reasons, and this broke that. related to bug #4551

Related to #4585 [Mathias Weyland <lt-betrieb(a)hb9uf.ch>] Alinco DJ-G7: Try slower baud rate if default rate fails (#4355) Alinco support is suggesting to use lower baud rates if the programming software fails to communicate with the radio reliably. This patch alters the code for the Alinco DJ-G7 radio such that if falls back to 19200 baud if the default of 57600 baud does not work. The user must set his radio to 19200 baud for this mechanism to kick in. Dialog boxes were added accordingly using the chirp_common.RadioPrompts() feature. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Images for #2107 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [New Model] TDXone TD-Q8A This patch adds support for the TDXone TD-Q8A radio. #2107 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Images for #4269 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [KT7900D] Add Support for QYT KT7900D and KT8900D Mobile Radios This patch modifies the btech.py driver to prepare it to support a new series of mobile radios that have an OLED color display. Radio models initially supported: QYT KT7900D (quad band) QYT KT8900D (dual band) New Model #4269

[chirp_users] WLN radios
by Patrick Brown 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

I have been trying to program 2 WLN radios supported by chirp and it don't seem to up load DCS tones and when saving the file it does not save the DCS tones ? This is one of those radios where a print out would help as it does not have a screen. -- Patrick Brown YCSRT 3213 N7FHB Wilhoit 145.350 Wildflower SYCSRT TEAM Manager http://ycsrt.org T.E.A.M = Together Everyone Accomplishes More

Re: [chirp_users] using two different radios together

Max, Since you said that you are very new to programming radios, I would use a transitive method <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_relation> of troubleshooting the issue you are having. I would get the frequency-tone-offset info on a local repeater that is open to the public, and program one of the two radios to tune into that repeater. Once I'm able to hear the repeater on the radio, I would see if I can key-up from the same radio and raise the repeater. Next I would do the same from the second radio. When radio-1 is able to send and receive from the repeater & radio-2 is also able to send & receive from the same repeater, then radio-1 & radio-2 will be able to talk to each other directly if you swap the send & receive frequencies on one of the radios, while making sure that you are using the same DCS <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squelch#DCS> or CTCSS <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_Tone-Coded_Squelch_System> settings on both. Based on my limited experience, currently, when you transmit from the ATR-22 & the EVX-531's receive lights up, the receiver is expecting a specific DCS <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squelch#DCS> or CTCSS <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_Tone-Coded_Squelch_System> tone that it is not seeing. The ATR-22 is either not transmitting any tone or not the one that the EVX is expecting. It will be interesting to hear what you find. ~~ Baji Panchumarti - OhioBaji(a)gmail.com K 8 I I T _ On Mon, Feb 27, 2017 at 11:01 AM, Max Hames <mfhames(a)gmail.com> wrote: Hello, > > I'm trying to get two different radios to talk to one another and I'm > running into an issue that I think is due to me never having programmed a > radio before!

[chirp_users] using two different radios together
by Max Hames 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

Hello, I'm trying to get two different radios to talk to one another and I'm running into an issue that I think is due to me never having programmed a radio before! Specifically I'm trying to integrate an Amcrest ATR-22 radio with a Vertex Standard EVX-531. I'm using the CE142 software for programming the 531s and CHIRP for the ATR-22. When I transmit from the ATR-22 the green receiving light comes on the EVX-531 but there's no audio. When I transmit from the 531s there's no receiving light on the ATR. Does anyone have any idea what I'm missing here? I'd really appreciate the help. Thank you! MFH -- MFH

Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5RM HP

Per Jim's (KC9HI) suggestion, I would try BF-F8HP first; then I would all supported 3 power level model Baofengs. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home [image: Inline image 1] It also seems that only 2 power level variants of UV-5R are listed. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Baofeng_UV5R_Variants ~~ Baji Panchumarti K 8 I I T _ On Sun, Feb 26, 2017 at 9:25 PM, L B <mech5(a)gt.rr.com> wrote: > Have tried UV-5R several times.
