I bought one cable, and after multiple failures using both Mac and PC, I bought another cable, the more expensive one. On the Mac side, I’ve downloaded and installed the ftdi drivers from here: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm . Still does not work. The radio just goes into “error”. I’m not getting an error message from Chirp. The Radio screen just starts flashing “Error” a few seconds after I put it into transmit mode. The Drivers appear to be working as the download dialog shows “dev/cu.usbserial-AI04KBP8” as an option. I really don’t have any idea what else to try. On the PC side, (under parallels), under “Devices” I connect the FT232R USB UART to the PC. Same thing happens. I go to download from radio, now “Com6” is what shows up, when I hit transmit it just errors out after a few seconds. No error message from CHIRP. The clone dialog just sits there open. Would sure appreciate any suggestions. Getting really frustrated. –cj- [2016-10-12 18:35:05,398] chirp.ui.common - ERROR: ---------------- [2016-10-12 18:35:05,398] chirp.ui.clone - ERROR: Clone failed: Failed to communicate with radio: (9, 'Bad file descriptor') [2016-10-12 18:35:05,398] chirp.ui.clone - DEBUG: Clone thread ended [2016-10-12 18:35:28,377] chirp.ui.mainapp - DEBUG: User selected Yaesu FT-817ND (US) on port /dev/cu.usbserial-AI04KBP8 [2016-10-12 18:35:28,383] chirp.ui.clone - DEBUG: Clone thread started

[chirp_users] TYT-UV-8000DE
by awake 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

Hi, A while ago I purchased a TYT-8000E and I'm trying to figure out whether there's a way how to make it work with chirp. It's quite a decent Chinese model, sort of a better built Baofeng with 10W transmit power and an accordingly sized battery :) I've seen there's a new model request #2837 for it, from about a year ago, but no activity on it. Are there any other people on this list using this radio? If yes, which SW are you using to program it? Also, if there's a developer willing to implement the support for this radio, I could provide hardware on loan and/or help out with testing.. Cheers, rad0 -- Connection closed by remote ghost.

[chirp_users] Baiston BST-520
by Bill Archer 12 Oct '16

Hi Guys, I recently purchased a Baiston BST-520 UHF transceiver. I have tried programming it using all the Baofeng settings within Chirp but none of these work. I have a Baiston UV-558 which I can programme using the Baofeng UV-5r settings. Any ideas what I can use to programme the BST-520? Regards, Bill Archer. Sent from Mail for Windows 10

[chirp_users] Windows 10 Pro Anniversary Edition Locks Up
by jgoods19＠gmail.com 08 Oct '16

I just installed the Win10 Pro Anniversary update. Now when I try to save a *.img or *.csv file, Chirp locks up. I have to use Ctl-Alt-Delete to close Chirp out. I uninstalled Chirp and reinstalled the latest version and the problem remains/ Any ideas? THX Sent from Mail for Windows 10
