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

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 or this list is out of date: http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-Firmware.php I'm trying to figure the best firmware to look for in a new purchase.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.

[chirp_users] Hello all Chirpers :-)

Hi fellow Chirpers :) I got myself a baofeng uv5r radi and a cable. Was looking for a good program to edit its memorys. Found this one first and tried it and loved it. I then found the oem programmer for it, but chirp much better I then discovered that chirp will also do the settings of the radio, and also my other radio, yaesu 857d too. So both radios got a full memory makeover with the help of excel too. I have a few other radios, one to ask about is my icom e90 quadband handheld (6m,4m,2m,70cm) I have a icom cable and its own software. It works. But was wondering if chirp is likely to come along to support as well. My comments on the program itself that I love, are 1. Keyboard shoutcuts, not standardised, ie, alt f a for save as ; alt f o for open; silly little thing like that :) 2. Unsure if bug, but regarding cts codes, and the 2 coloums Tone and ToneSql - edit in chirp, ok. But if you export, edit both coloums in excel and re-import, ToneSql gets ignored on all lines back to 88.5 3. Anuther possible bug, when typing a frequency in, and you fluff it on enter, it pops a error up, Error setting memory: Frequency 0.000000 is out of supported range" as example. But then it dumps you back up to line 1, so in a long list, you got to scroll back down to as line 200 to find and fix it again. 4. When using a mouse, the roller on the mouse does not seem to use the same speed of page/line scroll as it does in other windows apps. Takes longer in chirp. 5. Maybe another silly comment..if I have a chrip img file open.when I open another, I expect it to show the new opened file. But it don't, it stays with the current opened one. Not the new one, I have to tab across. Not hard to do of course. Its just tweaks :) Hope all is ok with that above. 73's Ne

I linked to the messages (see bottom of email), and saw some comments about the background for this mod. Here are my comments, just FYI, no complaints. Windows 10 Pro x64. 1. I am using the standalone version. Wish that there is an x64 version. 2. Copy | Paste of records and record blocks twixt 2 instances if CHIRP, using ctrl-c, -v, works for records now. 3. Twould be nice if the confirmation dialog showed up on the same display as the main program. I run CHIRP on a an extended display in Windows. 4. Ctrl-x does not work in a field. Delete does not work in a field. Ctrl-v does not work in a field. 5. RMC: Copy //does// work in a field, but then RMC: Paste is disabled in the 2nd instance. I /can/ RMC: Paste into a different file in a different tab in the same instance. 6. I use the standalone version because I find it more controllable than installing multiple versions of the same product, though I imagine that upgrading the installed version in place works fine. Not tested. I do this so that it is easy for me to roll back, if I wish. 7. I use multiple instances of the standalone version because I can alt-tab twixt them to copy | paste. Ctrl-tab does not work for me, though it does shift the focus from a memory to a tab. So I can't easily cut from one tab and paste to another. 8. I understand deprecating .chirp files, even if I don't know the history. If .csv files are the ne way of exporting, that works for me. 9. Still don't know why I can't save Kenwood TH-F6A .img in CHIRP, but can in Kenwood's Memory Control Program (MCP). MCP is not "live". I just did this test. While CHIRP was open, I ran MCP. I downloaded from the F6A. I modified a memory. I saved the file as .fx. I ended MCP. The F6A remained unchanged. I interpret this to mean that I could save the F6A in CHIRP as a .img file (which I can't). 10. It's nice that both MCP and CHIRP do not take control of the COM port; that is, they open it, use it, and release it. This allows me to run both programs at the same time. Currently, there are advantages and disadvantages to using both MCP and CHIRP with the F6A, so I use both. ~R~ NE1EE Short email? No html?
