[chirp_users] Macbook + Icom ID-880H + BlueMax49ers FTDI cable = frustration
by Creede Lambard 20 Oct '16

20 Oct '16

I’ve seen this sort of thing posted before on the list but I haven’t noticed a fix or workaround. I’m running OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) on a Macbook Pro. Last weekend I bought a brand new Icom ID-880H after checking to make sure that it’s supported according to the Chirp wiki. This afternoon I got a FTDI-based USB cable from BlueMax49 and figured I’d clone my radio, then upload the results back. I was able to successfully clone the memory, so it looks like the drivers and cable are working, and I noticed that Chirp includes D-STAR information - something I’d never had call to notice before as this is my first D-STAR capable radio! Well done! Unfortunately, when I changed one tone setting and gave the channels labels, then went to upload the information back to the radio, the Chirp progress bar went all the way to the right, but then I got an error message: “Failed to communicate with radio: Did not get clone result from radio” That’s not the worst part, though. After Chirp errors out the radio is stuck at “CL IN”. When I shut the radio off and turn it back on again the display says CLEAR, then the ICOM banner and finally the radio is back to a factory restored state. All of the memories I programmed in over the weekend are gone. Happily, they are stored in a .img file on the Mac; unhappily, I can’t seem to get the file to load into the radio. For what it’s worth, I get the same error when I try to upload an image with only one memory slot filled in. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround? What can I do to get Chirp working? I’ve been using the software for years and this is the first problem I’ve had with it. I can send a copy of the .img file if you need me to. Thanks. -- Creede Lambard Sent with Airmail

[chirp_users] "Error Reading Data from Radio..."
by Jeff Hughes 20 Oct '16

20 Oct '16

Trying to download radio image fails with the following error: “An error has occurred Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want” Radio is a BTECH UV-5X3. Using latest Chirp build (downloaded this morning). Running on Mac, 10.10.5 (Yosemite). Python runtime is installed. I don’t see anything relevant in the FAQ or in recent threads on the list. I tried resetting the radio to its defaults - no change, same error. Any ideas? Jeff

[chirp_users] PPA for Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety)
by David Chatterton 17 Oct '16

Chirp seems to update correctly under Ubuntu 16.10 provided that the repository used is the same as that for Xenial. For completeness, might it be possible to copy the Xenial PPA as the Yakkety version so that adding the repository under Yakkety does not generate an error when attempting a software update?

Greetings from New Zealand. I am trying to Identify a Baofeng radio that I was given some 6 months ago. It is labelled BF-UVB2 PLUS but it does not look like those on web pages . It has the appearance of a UV-82. I have tried all the "chirp" Baofeng models, but none worked. Most common response "Radio did not respond" Any suggestions. Works fine with manual programming. UV-5 and UV-3 and others working fine on Chirp (Thank you) Regards Dave D ZL1TIA
