I don't have that specific radio but I have a Baofeng and there is an option in the menus to turn names on. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab®4 -------- Original message -------- From: digitdan <digitdan(a)edifax.com> Date:06/06/2016 2:13 PM (GMT-04:00) To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: [chirp_users] BaoFeng GT-3 Mark ll problem with channel name not uploading I downloaded the most recent Chirp software to program a BaoFeng GT-3 Mark ll. I programed all the info for 12 channels, then read the radio then uploaded the program but when I check the radio the channel names did not show up. All the frequencies where there and the radio RX and TX fine but no channel names. I tried it in both channel and frequency modes. Can anyone help??? Dan H.

[chirp_users] Problems programming ICOM IC-V82
by Larry Gagnon 06 Jun '16

06 Jun '16

Using Chirp v daily-20160301 on Linux and an ICOM IC-V82 VHF handheld. Was able to successfully connect and download from the radio. Added some channels, then uploaded. Upload seemed to go fine but with an error message at the end that reads: "Failed to communicate with the radio. Did not get clone result from radio." On rebooting the handheld all appears fine, new channels are there but all the channels that have offsets do not take, in other words it transmits/receives on same frequency, even though file is virtually identical to that uploaded from the radio and I have double checked to offset and duplex are correct. Any ideas appreciated. Larry VE7EA

Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R firmware upgrade?

I think I open a new thread each reply, sorry, using yahoo mail, and not sure how to reply on same thread (I get the daily digest). I'm worried to get a "new" radio, but in fact seller sends old inventory , hence I'm checking the firmware before purchasing since as u say it is a one-time programming firmware :) Can someone confirm is getting anything from the last block on this list: http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-Firmware.php Managed to find: N5R-2401 is this good enough? or should I try to get a higher number? like NR5R-3409? Thanks!!Stormy.

WOW, really appreciate your comprehensive reply, now it's archived, so others hopefully can benefit.. Is that really true that since 2014 there have been newer firmware but no detected changes? or this list is out of date: http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-Firmware.php I'm trying to figure the best firmware to look for in a new purchase. Thanks.

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R firmware upgrade?
by Stormy 02 Jun '16

02 Jun '16

Hi, Newbie question, sorry :) Not sure where else to ask... Noticed here: http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-Firmware.php it says firmwares are not changable on the Baofeng UV-5R radios.. but then reading some postings led to this directory: http://kc9hi.dyndns.org/uv5r/programming/CHIRPrecovery/ with list of firmwares.. and someone alluding to being able to switch or flush these? If I have a device with a given firmware, then for the life it cannot be changed? Thanks much. Stormy.

[chirp_users] Accessing Repeaterbook from chirp
by Scott Brewster 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

I am trying to get a list of 2m and 70cm repeaters for my area with no luck. Steps taken: Start ChirpFile: NewRadio: Query Data Source: Repeaterbook Initial dialog box comes up; I select Arizona for state; Maricopa for County and 2 Meters for Band. Clicking ok results in the "standard" busy mouse icon (small greenish blue circle). Data from Repeaterbook never shows up.Even though busy mouse icon is showing, I am able to click and use options within chirp. Attempts to use other sources appears to work (albeit I am not subscribed or premium with those other sources). Reading/writing from radio otherwise works, no other issues noticed. I have tried this with the last couple of windows daily builds - latest is today's - with no luck. Am I missing something? >From chirp about: Chirp daily - 20160531 OS: Windows 7.
