[chirp_users] Baofeng GT-5TP
by Todd Bloomingdale 24 Sep '16

24 Sep '16

Hello All, I've read on a few amazon reviews that the Baofeng GT-5TP can be programmed using chirp using the UV-82HP setting. I can not get the radio to work with any of the Baofeng radio drop downs. I did download the actual Baofeng software and that works, and also works fine with my Anytone so it isn't a cord issue. Any thoughts on how to get chirp to communicate with the radio? The GT-5TP has version N82303 using the holding 3 button and turning on the radio. Todd Bloomingdale-KC9LOX Tomah, WI

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 24 Sep '16

24 Sep '16

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20160924 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #434 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-5R] UV-82HP (local variable 'response' referenced before assignment) Some how after my testing I reverted one of my changes. This patch corrects that mistake. Bug #3987 [Michael Wagner <michael.wagner(a)gmx.at>] [btech] Delay writes statically, to avoid invalid header-response from KT-8900. Fixes #3993 Much simpler approch to ommit the "0x05"-Respone-Bug on KT-8900 (and other radios) mostly on linux. Instead of detecting platform or only delaying only on case of previous errors, the write is now always delayd. Result of following thread: http://intrepid.danplanet.com/pipermail/chirp_devel/2016-September/004264.h… 73, OE4AMW [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Fix MemoryMapping bug that caused only the last-defined bank editor to load. #741 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-5X3] Increase Band Limits The factory changed the 220 band limits of the BTECH UV-5X3. This patch sets the driver band limits to match. #4053

The "ident" of the UV-82HP radio (and possibly other recent Baofeng radios) now changes based on the band limit settings. When setting a band limit to "1" or and value ending in "01" (101, 201, 301, etc.), the value ends up in the "ident" and is stripped by the code that was added to support the UV-6 with the longer 12 byte "ident". This patch uses a different strategy to support the UV-6 with longer "ident" restoring the use of any selectable band limit value. Bug #3987 [Brian Dickman <brian.maybe(a)gmail.com>] [ft60] Update download message to match reality, fixes #3979 [Leo Bärring <leo.barring(a)protonmail.com>] Provides a mem_val getter for RadioSettingValueMap, fixes issue #4033 [Leo Bärring <leo.barring(a)protonmail.com>] Renames value to mem_val, fixes issue #4031 Also a "hello world" patch for me.

[chirp_users] UV-6R alpha display
by Harrison Cooper 16 Sep '16

Does the UV-6R display the "name" ? I uploaded a stock configuration that included name info but the radio isn't showing it, unlike the UV-5R that does. None of the reviews I found mentioned it.

Hi all, I just received an old Kenwood TK-2100. It is not supported based on the CHIRP home page. Can anyone point towards something that will do the job and not cost $100+. TIA, Best, Tom
