[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.

[chirp_users] Slightly off Topic
by Tom Balaban 14 Sep '16

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

[chirp_users] Possible Fix for the Btech/QYT/Waccom and variants over Linux OS, testers wanted.
by Pavel Milanes Costa 13 Sep '16

13 Sep '16

Hi to all, main Btech Chirp's driver developer here, Recently working with a Chirp's user about this problem, he spot the possible cause of the driver not working on Linux OS as it should be: Linux is to fast! So, we have crafted a dev version with this patch and need some of the users out there with a Linux Operating System that has problems in the past with the BTECH/QYT/Waccom radios to test it. See http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/3993#note-12 for instructions and a link to download the dev version, models affected are mainly this: * BTECH 2501 * BTECH 2501+220 * BTECH 5001 * QYT KT8900 * QYT KT8900R * Waccom Mini 8900 Again: this patch will affect only Linux users. We hope to see your comments about this working or not, to be included in the next daily version. Thanks to Michael Wagner for this fix. 73 Pavel CO7WT
