[chirp_users] Windows installer in Wine (Ubuntu 14.04)
by Wenlock Burton 14 Dec '15

14 Dec '15

Hi, Just some odd behaviour when installing the Windows version in Wine in Ubuntu 14.04 On opening the installer with Wine a dialog opens advising a serious error has occurred and the software needs to close. However, the installer continues to run in installs Chirp. This is the error: The same thing occurs when opening Chirp with Wine and Chirps runs despite the "serious error. Any ideas? Wenlock VK3YWB

Re: [chirp_users] Cable for use w/CHIRP and iCOM ID-51A

Generally the RTF SYSTEMS cables work only with their software. Jock A.

I’ve searched some and tried the RT Systems generic Apple FDLI update to no effect wrt to using the RT System cable w/OS X. I have several other options for programming ID-51s however it would be convenient if I could set up their non-DStar Freqs in somewhat similar arrangements to the many Baoefengs that are popping up like … well you know what, to facilitate CommT support for local ARES/RACES units. Goal is to create libraries of .csv files for various types of local & regional support/event/agency combinations and efficiently have identical Channel names or #s to expedite implementation of IACs in the field. If anyone knows what would also work as an actual radio to radio ‘cloning’ cable for the ID-51s I’m interested in that too. Ditto this for Baofengs in the UV-82/UV-82HP series.

[chirp_users] Problem configured Sainsonic APR510 APRS with latest daily chirp
by Tim Miranda 13 Dec '15

13 Dec '15

Hi - I apologize if this has been asked and answered. I got my Sainsonic APR510 APRS device up and running today using the manufacturer's config software on my win7 laptop, but I heard that daily-20151212 version of CHIRP had support for changing the "settings" of this device, and since I love CHIRP, I thought I'd try. Unfortunately, no matter what combination of power-on/power-off/disconnect/connect, I couldn't get it to succeed when doing a Radio->Download from Radio. My com port is COM4, and I know that works with the manufacturer's web site, but when I try to Download From Radio with CHIRP, it appears to start the download, make it almost all the way through (according to the progress bar), but then a popup shows "An error has occured: '00'" and it fails to download. [image: Inline image 2] Any ideas? Tim

[chirp_users] IC92AD

Thanks Jim, It now reads the radios memories without errors and Band A stops at 799 however, there are a couple of minor issues. 1) In Banks(Band A) tab it still reads 0 to 849, no errors but I would expect errors if i tried to upload the file to the radio. 2) The status bar continues to display "[0] Getting Bank information for memory 399". Incidentally, I installed the latest daily of the windows version in Unbuntu but find it still reads all the way to 849. no error messages, but hasn't read Banks(Band B), Bank Names(Band B) or D-STAR Thanks Wenlock VK3YWB

Using the latest build of CHIRP, I had a problem saving the system image of my new BF-F8HP. CHIRP returned the “incorrect model selected” error when I chose BF-F8HP, so I tried UV5R and was able to upload the system image. I wrote back to the radio using this file and it is causing problems. I am looking for a uncorrupted system image for my firmware. These are the returns I am getting from the radio now: Power+3= BFB297 Power+6= 141006N CHIRP-Other Settings= HN5RV01 Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve P

You did yourself the problem. CHIRP uses radio model numbers for a reason. You most likely will have to remove everything and start over.

I do not know what I did - or what happened, but it is now working! It could have been the lock button or something else, but probably my error. Thank you all. Al KI6JXB
