[chirp_users] BAOFENG UV-5Rs acting strange when programming with Chirp
by John Randle 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

I have been maintaining several UV5R's with Chirp for a couple of years without any issues. I am currently running Chirp Daily Build 20151126 on W10 to program several UV5R's. I have recently experienced two strange programming operation issues, with all the UV5R's, that I have not previously encountered. First problem: After downloading the current configuration of the UV5R's, I then proceeded to add some new memory channels that use Digital Coded Squelch settings. When programming the DCS settings, I first set "DTCS", then I set the individual T-DCS and R-DCS codes and then I set Cross to "Tone -> Tone" (as this is what the existing DCS memory channels reflect), but as soon as I set the offset direction, Chirp changes "DTCS" to "Cross" and changes "Tone -> Tone" to "DTCS->". As these settings are not what is required (or at least what is currently reflected in the older DCS memory channels), I then have to go back and reset "DTCS->" to "Tone -> Tone" and "Cross" to "DTCS". Is there any reason why my initial inputs are being over-ridden? Second problem: After successfully uploading a new configuration to the UV5-R's, the UV5R's automatically go into transmit mode about 5 seconds after they restart if the programming cable is left connected to the radio. This seems to be a new issue that I had not previously experienced. Any suggestions on either problem will be greatly appreciated. -- John 73's de K9RSQ

The best and most reliable cables come from www.rtsystems.com Yes they are not cheap but they work every time. Jock A.

While the "defective"cable requires the older driver (as do my other two "non-defective" cables) and does a download and upload without issues, this is the only cable that then causes the radio to go into transmit after uploading a configuration file ... followed by the normal power off/power on of the radio. Disconnecting the cable immediately after the power off seems to preclude the erroneous transmit indication. The first problem is still a puzzler. While the workaround of resetting the fields is acceptable, I am still curious as to why/how this was suddenly manifested as my UV5Rs are several years old. -- John 73's de K9RSQ On 3/14/2016 11:50 PM, John Randle wrote: > I have been maintaining several UV5R's with Chirp for a couple of > years without any issues. > I am currently running Chirp Daily Build 20151126 on W10 to program > several UV5R's.

[chirp_users] dumbest question - how to launch CHIRP?
by Dave Fitt 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

I downloaded current version for Windows and ran the installer. I see CHIRP folder on my desktop, but when I go in, I don't see any application or executable file (except Uninstall and w9xpopen, neither of which launch/start CHIRP). I'm not computer illiterate for heaven's sake but feel like an idiot not seeing what to click to start CHIRP. Thx folks for getting this noobie off the ground!

Hi, Does anyone have a North American Kenwood TH-D72 that they could do a factory reset on and send me the pristine image file ? There is an image in the images directory but it is a partially modified version. Thanks Angus

Re: [chirp_users] Chirp Update not replacing old version
by John Randle 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Thanks for the quick response Jim. Yes Chirp was closed before I executed the install file. The installation confirms install location, and then proceeds to "churn & burn" for several minutes before giving me a successful message. I just repeated the process again to double check .. and this time I noticed that the default install location was not where my 20151126 version had been installed (go figure). Going to the default location I found the 2016 version. So, 1 issue has been resolved. I still have the other 2 issues that I reported last night (message 3 below) with the 2016 version (i.e. changing DTCS elements and the radio going into transmit after uploading to the radio). -- John 73's de K9RSQ On 3/15/2016 3:00 PM, chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com wrote: > Today's Topics: > > 1.

[chirp_users] Chirp Update not replacing old version
by John Randle 14 Mar '16

14 Mar '16

I have downloaded the daily build for Windows 10 (20160309), but when I execute the install file my previous version of Chirp (20151126) is not replaced. Is it necessary to uninstall the previous version before executing the new version's install file? -- John 73's de K9RSQ
