[chirp_users] FT-8900
by Doug Iversen, N6DJI＠arrl.net 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Good Morning . . . Trying to figure a way to program my FT-8900 so that I can scan certain groups of frequencies in the hypermemory modes. Since this radio doesn't have "banks" like my 7900 did, I cannot seem to figure this out. Any suggestions? 73, Doug Iversen, N6DJI

[chirp_users] Locking the radio's
by Eric Chopin 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Greetings, Is there anyway of locking (ie P.W. protecting) a radio's that I have programmed with CHIRP so that no one other than me, can alter the settings even if they use a PC and CHIRP? The radios thatI am interested in locking are Baofeng UV 5....GT3....TYT....etc Thanks Eric VE7ECJ

[chirp_users] Trouble with programming ICOM IC-2200H
by Kamikaze Joe 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

Was hoping I could find some help getting my IC-2200H programmed. I've tried downloading from the radio using a generic brand cable I bought off Amazon. The procedures I've tried: Example 1: 1) Put my Icom in cloning mode. 2) Select "Download from Radio" from the Radio menu in the Chirp application. 3) Verified the Port. Selected "Icom" as the vendor. And "IC-2200H" as the Model. 4) Click "OK" Result: Before I can even hit the button on my Icom that starts sending the data, Chirp briefly flashes the "Cloning" progress bar and then throws an error of "Unexpected response from Radio". Example 2: If I repeat the above steps, but instead select "Detect" as the Model, I immediately get an error saying it can't detect the radio. I didn't expect it to work, but I wanted to rule it out. Example 3: 1) Put my Icom in cloning mode. 2) Select "Download from Radio" from the Radio menu in the Chirp application. 3) Again Verified the Port, Vendor, and Model as stated above. 4) Before clicking "OK", I pressed the button on my Icom to start sending data. 5) Then I clicked "OK" in the Chirp application. Result: I tried this pressing the start button on the Icom before clicking "OK" in Chirp, and I've tried pressing them simultaneously. This method returns an error saying "Out of sync with radio". I've search through the archive and see the same errors I'm seeing, but on posts that are several years old. The responses usually recommend checking for a driver issue, but I've done that. The cable itself seems to be functional to some degree, at least to me. I wouldn't get the "Out of sync with radio" error if the application didn't receive anything at all, right? While I don't have another device to test this particular cable with, I do have another cable that I use to program my Baofeng UV-82 with. The alternate cable uses the same chip (PL2303) and therefor the same driver/module, and that works just fine. I am able to download and program my Baofeng without any issues. So to the best of my troubleshooting abilities, the cable doesn't seem likely. Additionally, the previous posts also reference Windows machines, but I am running Linux and I do not have a Windows computer at my disposal. I am also using the chirp-daily package on my system and made sure it was updated. Currently on "CHIRP daily-20161123" at the time of this writing. Any further suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance -Joe

[chirp_users] Anyone program a Kenwood TK-862? Non G
by Ronny Julian 24 Nov '16

24 Nov '16

Hello all I have a 2 channel TK-863 mobile. I have the USB cable that should work with it. It comes up fine as a COM 5 but everytime I try to read the radio it errors out on CHIRP. It does change the radio display to light up both channel indicators when it starts to read. I'm guessing this is an indication it is trying to read. Does anyone have an idea on this or maybe have a file I could write into it first? Thanks! Ronny K4RJJ

[chirp_users] Baofeng 888s cable issue
by Ronny Julian 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

I have a couple of 888s UHF radios and the cable I have for them is coming up on COM 3 Problem is the radio goes into transmit when connected to the cable and turned on. The cable has worked on my UV-5R radios before but now also puts them into transmit. The only thing that has changed is i have gone to a laptop (Windows 10) to a desktop machine (Also Windows 10). Any ideas? Thanks! Ronny K4RJJ

It will help to know if the same radios fail with the Baofeng software or is the same software does them all.
