[chirp_users] Chirp Linux command line
by Tony Hughes 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

Finding some older info via Google but not sure what current status is. I program a lot of radios with Chirp. Sometimes dozens in a day. I'd love to build a raspberry pi powered chirp programmer with a 2 line LCD and a few buttons. I can Do the hardware build and a Menu system easy enough. I just need to be able to run chirp and read / write images using the command line. Such a device would be the same size as a radio and yet be able to hold the few dozen different images I use on a regular basis. Cheers Tony New Zealand.

Re: [chirp_users] USB Port defaulted to Bluetooth.
by Thomas James 12 Dec '16

Hello Michael, If I turn off bluetooth on my Mac, I will not be able to use my mouse or keyboard. Is there another way to get CHIRP to default to the correct USB port that my radio is connected to? Thank you for your help!

[chirp_users] MAC OS Sierra USB Port path incorrect in CHIRP
by Thomas James 12 Dec '16

12 Dec '16

I own a Baofeng BF-F8HP and the high end programming cable, but still cannot program my radio using my new MAC with OS X Sierra. When I try to link the radio to my computer, the CHIRP software defaults to my bluetooth port, not the FTDI Cable. I checked in System Information, USB ports, and my computer is seeing the cable, but CHIRP does not. How do I get CHIRP to see the correct cable and not my bluetooth port path? With appreciation, Thomas

[chirp_users] macOS Sierra 10.12, blank window
by Elliott Cable 11 Dec '16

11 Dec '16

Hi! Elliott, KL4JC here; I've got a few things: - I've installed the KK7DS Python Runtime as required; it'd be really nice if some more information about this were included on CHIRP's pages. If nothing else, a link to an informational page about this package itself is an absolute minimum. (Having me install a `.pkg` with no explanation as to why? Please, no!) ... especially as Google yields effectively nothing (except my own query to the Homebrew issue-tracker from years ago, hah!) - I want to note that the (surprisingly up-to-date!) “macOS tips page” is, unfortunately, suddenly out-of-date again: there is a new GUI for *properly* authorizing unsigned apps, as of macOS Sierra 10.12.1: 1. Attempt to run the app, accept the denial; 2. open the “Security & Privacy > General” System Preferences pane; 3. and there will be a new, temporary modal specifically providing the opportunity to whitelist the most-recently-denied unsigned app (i.e. CHIRP): ![System Preferences prompting CIRP](http://ell.io/icpTv+) That should be a little more user-friendly, not to mention more secure, than having users undertake fragile command-line whitelisting of the entire directory! (= - Finally, and my main reason for writing in ... unfortunately, trying to run `chirp-daily-20161208.app` is not showing much in the way of success, for me. I simply get a blank window, as follows: ![blank CHIRP window on OS X](http://ell.io/i4cfS+) Anybody have any idea why I might be seeing this, or how to remedy it without booting into Windows? /= ⁓ ELLIOTTCABLE — fly safe. http://ell.io/tt

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT2800M reading error
by YT9TP - Pedja 08 Dec '16

08 Dec '16

I got Yaesu FT2800M and was eager to use Chirp to program it. It failed reading data from this rig. It ends up with message: > An error has occurred > Failed to communicate with radio: Failed to read header I use CHIRP daily-20161123 but older versions did not work too. I tried reading with G4HFQ FTB2800 and it reads rig properly so I am sure my serial adapter works fine. I see I am not the only one with this issue. There are few reports on this issue on Chirp site but none got response. Any hope? -- YT9TP, Pedja http://www.yt9tp.iz.rs --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

[chirp_users] New UV5-RTP not recognized with BF-F8HP model selection
by Dr. Hans-Christian Becker 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

Hello, This is my first foray into China radios and Chirp. Yesterday I get a two-pack Baofeng UV5-RTP radios. I downloaded the latest build of Chirp (20161123). When I select "BF-F8HP" as per the FAQ, I get an "Incorrect Model" error. After downloading with the UV5-R model selection, firmware version reported is HN5RV01 1FB297 debug.log after testing with BF-F8HP and then UV5-R models attached. Any hints and help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, Hans-Christian SM7TL/KG6POK
