I live in California , Barstow in San Bernardino County to be exact. Most of the county has gone to 800 my trunking radios. The California Hiway Patrol is in low band 6 meters 42 - 48 mhz.

Although seldom used, they are tested frequently.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 03 Sep '16

03 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-20160903 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #428 [Brian Dickman <brian.maybe(a)gmail.com>] [leixen] Filter out-of-bounds audio processor setting, fixes #3675 After doing a clear all reset on the VV-898, the apro setting on memory 1 is out of range (0xff), but the radio honors it as "off" anyway. This fix prevents such a memory from throwing an exception on download. [Brian Dickman <brian.maybe(a)gmail.com>] [leixen] Support non-standard tones on VV898 radio memories. Fixes #3899. This issue used to cause some download corruption when a radio memory had one of the non-standard tones (as the factory image did). Note that there is no RadioFeatures "valid tones" map, so these extra tones can not currently be selected during new memory creation.

[chirp_users] putting frequencies
by Glenn 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Hi, I'm trying to put in frequencies into the table I downloaded from my Baofeng 5R. I arrowed to an empty row, one that is numbered, but only has zeros in the accompanying fields. But when just typing into the frequency field, it jumps me elsewhere on the table. I am not sure with my screenreader to import from RadioReference.com from the radio menu. Thanks. Glenn

When plugging a headset into my UV-82 when I press the PTT button the radio changes to the B/UHF frequencies. Is there a way to prevent this. Thanks.

I don't find the word "port"when I go to device manager, using windows 7.

Go into device manager, and see what port Windows assigned. If using other operating system, there are other ways of finding. On 8/29/2016 17:00, lasomrak wrote: > How did you find the correct port.

I have tried several times to upload a list of 48 repeaters and everytime I upload to the radio it only receives 20 memory lines of the 48. Any ideas why? Thank You, Wevone Hobbs

How did you find the correct port. I went through 1-9 with no luck.

I neglected to let all of you know how much I appreciated your replies. Evidently it was a com port issue and after making sure it was seeing the right com port, everything worked as advertised.

[chirp_users] D-Star Programming
by Dick Smith 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

I have an ID-880H and want to program some D-star repeaters. I've down the registration and have been okayed. I've read so many different posts about programming and watched so many videos, that I'm more or less completely confused about the operation. I downloaded what I have currently in the radio and noticed that in Chirp there seem to be fewer spots to put the D-star info. I feel like what is shown is all that's needed, but I want to make sure first. I do have the original programming I did with the Icom software saved so I can reload it if necessary. I've also looked through the last 6-8 months of list archives and didn't find anything that was to helpful regarding the programming aspect. Any 880H users who might be able to shed some light on the whole subject for me? 73 Dick W4RSS

[chirp_users] FTDI good - not FTDI bad
by Richard B. Emerson 29 Aug '16

29 Aug '16

Following the traffic here, I think the following should be (if it isn't) a FAQ item. Nonetheless it bears repeating here: FTDI conversion chips and drivers are extremely stable. Anything else, including Prolific, is a gamble with poor odds. It's that simple. Background: On our sailboat, I do a number of serial/USB conversions. This converts (admittedly ancient) NMEA 183 serial data from instrumentation for a USB port on a laptop running a navigation program (Coastal Explorer - don't leave port without it). Initially I used Prolific-based convertes (what did I know?). Simply put, it became one non-stop headache. Data wouldn't come through, drivers stopped functioning, etc., etc. I switched to an FTDI-based 10-port serial/USB converter. The only changes to the system was to plug the DB-9 pigtails into the new converter and load the FTDI driver. End of problems, no crashes, full functionality. To clarify, one port services the full NMEA 183 data stream from the autopilot computer (speed through the water, depth, wind direction and speed, full GPS data stream [position, speed over the bottom, direction, GPS status, time of day)) and the port sends steering information to the autopilot, waypoint location data, and more. Another port sends data to the VHF and SSB radios (position, time of day) and receives data from the VHF (Digital Selective Calling data including emergency data received). Another port sends position, time of day, waypoint location data and receives target data from the radar including Modified Automatic Radar Plotting Aid data. The last active port receives data from the Automatic Identification System and an auxiliary GPS receiver (part of the AIS system). (full translation of "NMEA 183", "waypoint", etc. available off-list) This is a long and probably very boring summary of what goes through FTDI devices at a mix of data rates (4800 baud for all but the AIS, which works at 38400 baud). If the FTDI part fails, life gets ugly fast (yes, there are backups). I bet a lot on FTDI and have no cause to regret it. Prolific devices were... my wife wore earplugs when the converters failed. Again, FTDI good - not FTDI bad. 73 de KC3DOO Rick
