[chirp_users] importing rows from a previous database
by Glenn 11 Nov '16

11 Nov '16

Hi, Initially, I had a friend load in my Baofeng UV5R from his database, with some other program, not Chirp. That worked fine, and then I started using Chirp on my Ubuntu, and with great accessibility, I subscribed to Radio Reference and downloaded some local stuff into my database, and all was good. Then I noticed that I lost all my weather radio stations, they were in the 80s. I can go back to an old Chirp database and find them there, but I am wondering if there is a way to import selected rows from the old database and moving them into the new one, over-writing the ones in the new database, in the same row numbers. I would like to learn to do this without re-writing them by hand. Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] retevis rt-5rv
by Tom Simonson 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

I have used Chirp with Baofeng and BTech radios. I may have the occasion to program some retevis rt-5rv radios. They look quite similar to the retevis rt-5r (with just the addition of a chrome screen over the speaker), and appear to be like the Baofeng UV-5r radios. I assume that they are part of the same family as the Baofeng 5 series radios. Chirp does have an entry for the retevis rt-5r, but not for the retevis rt-5rV variant. I expect that they are functionally the same (for programming basic functionality e.g. channels, channel names etc.), but can anybody confirm that they can be programmed with the 5R selected? -- Tom Simonson, Alameda CA (tom(a)tsimonson.com)

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R issue
by Bill Archer 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hi, I have purchased a Baofeng UV-5R but when I try to upload a frequency list I get this error. The upload was stopped because the firmware version of the image (BFB307 BFB297) does not match that of the radio (HN5RV011XXXXXX) Any ideas why this is occurring? I can download from the radio OK. Regards, Bill Archer. Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10

For anyone that is looking for a verified cable: Here is the cable I purchased from Amazon. It uses the FTDI chip, so you don't have to worry about the Prolific Copies: http://amzn.to/2e2otzN The cable was a straight forward "plug and play" solution on my windows 7 machine.

[chirp_users] Kenwood Th-74a
by Andrew Chandler 30 Oct '16

30 Oct '16

Hi, I've been using Chirp with a Baofeng_BF-F8HP but I see no support yet for the Kenwood Th-74a. Would it help if I sent you whatever I can export from the mcpd74_e software ? I put the mcpd74_e software on my windows work machine and its horrible so if there's anything I can do so you can get chirp for OSX or Linux please let me know. Thanks, Andrew
