[chirp_users] BaoFeng UV-5RTP Firmware Version BFP3-25
by Dan Jolley 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

I just recently purchased a Baofeng UV-5RTP with Firmware Version BFP3-25. If I understand the instructions correctly on the danplanet website, then I should select the Baofeng BF-F8HP model in Chirp to program the UV-5RTP. Am I correct? According to the Chirp website, the Baofeng UV-5RTP is listed under the Baofeng BF-F8HP for programming compatibility. The following is copied from the danplanet Chirp website: BF-F8HP (in daily builds) Also includes the BF-A58 Also includes the BF-F9V2+ Also includes the GT-3TP Also includes the UV-5RTP Also includes the UV-5R7W Any help or information will be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Dan Jolley

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-20160215 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #384 [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <co7wt(a)frcuba.co.cu>] [PATCH][TK-270] Fix a missing txenable flag, Fixes #3279 A flag for txenable on set_channel was missing and was causing the TX freqs of all channels edited by chirp to get not on the freq you programmed. Sorry for the inconvenience. [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-5R] Leave Immutable Elements Alone Some immutable (set_mutable(False)) elements that were expected to be unchangeable by the user were being changed by CHIRP when filtered and then they were being updated by the "def set_settings(self, settings):" procedure. This patch updates this procedure so it does not reset immutable elements. related to bug #3305

I fixed my problem with CHIRP and the BAOFENG UV82L. I found that CHIRP would work using either of the UV82 models. Cause was probably finger problems more than anything. Thanks for the help. -- ............................................... Mike Ligeza - VE3UIL/VE3UIM Smiths Falls, ON mike.ligeza(a)gmail.com From my Linux box running Ubuntu 15.10

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV82L vs UV82
by Mike Ligeza 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

I am trying to program a Baofeng UV82L. I compiled a csv file with all the necessary parameters but if I try to import it I get a "UNKNOWN FORMAT" error message. If I open OPEN the file from within CHIRP and I select either UV82HP or UV82 format, none of the information is there. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? -- ............................................... Mike Ligeza - VE3UIL/VE3UIM Smiths Falls, ON mike.ligeza(a)gmail.com From my Linux box running Ubuntu 15.10

[chirp_users] Column Differences
by Walt Childson 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

There are some new columns in the Img file but those columns do not get generated in CSV. In general the IMG columns, the memory Properties column list, the CSV columns and the WiKi column definitions are not in sync. I especially would like to use the Power column. 1. In the config file, if I change the column_order_rmemoryeditor column list to the values in the column_order_dstarmemoryeditor list, or add the missing columns to each so they are all inclusive on both, would that make the IMG and CSV identical? And also make the Generic csv the same? 2. And how will I be able to edit the Power (no values) and Skip (skip options are blank and S, no P) Thanks Walt N6STM

[chirp_users] 20160209 Build Issue
by Walt Childson 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

Filippi Marco worked on issue 3281 (Copying Special Channels), and I was under the impression it would be in this build. So I installed the 20160209 build. But my FT857D is no longer able to download to Chirp. I checked communications with another freeware product, and COM3 is working by directional. Attached is the Chirp log. 1. Is 3281 issue fixed in this build? 2. What is my current issue with the inability to download? As an FYI, I previously attempted to load a Boafeng software program for the GT-3TP, which did not work. But I did the full install of Chirp afterwards. Thanks for you help again. Walt N6STM

[chirp_users] Connectivity issues with Puxing PX-A6
by Kirill Elagin 09 Feb '16

09 Feb '16

Hello, I’ve got a Puxing PX-A6 and a cheap USB cable from China. Now I’m trying to make this setup work, but I’ve faced some issues, so I’m looking for help. The cable seems to have a PL-2303 inside, at least that’s what its USB IDs tell and it got picked up by pl2303 kernel module. Now, it _almost_ works. I use Puxing PX-2R driver with CHIRP. When I tell CHIRP to download data, it fails with `Failed to communicate with radio: Radio is not responding`. If I immediately try again, then it downloads successfully. I also noticed that when I connect the radio to my laptop, it starts transmitting (as in transmitting radio signal), likely because the cable plugs into the headset port. But it stops as soon as I open the tty using `socat` (`socat -x /dev/ttyUSB0 -`). When I exit `socat` it starts transmitting again after around 4 seconds. I believe this 4-second interval is the key to CHIRP succeeding, as it always succeeds when I hit “download” while the radio is not transmitting either immediately after the first attempt or immediately after exiting `socat`. I also tried setting up a pty using, again, `socat` to sniff the protocol. In this case the radio stops transmitting as soon as `socat` is started and, of course, using the pty, CHIRP successfully downloads channels from the first try. Well, my ultimate goal is to make their own programming software work (at least once, as I need to adjust some settings and after that I’ll happily stick to CHIRP), but it doesn’t. I thought, that understanding of what’s going on with CHIRP might help me figure out what to do next, so any ideas are welcome. Thanks. -- Кирилл Елагин
