[chirp_users] Wouxon kv6d
by Mark Cameron 07 Sep '15

Good Day, I have two models of Wouxon; the 2d and 6d. I am able to upload from both radios without any problems. I can download to the 2d with no problems either. The problem I am having is when I try to upload to the 6d, the pull down menus for radio selection is greyed out and is on the 1d. (not a problem with downloading to the 2d). How do I un-grey the selection box so I can upload to the 6d? Sincerely, Mark Cameron

I have an IC-V8000 2M transceiver. It doesn't show up on the list of supported radios. Will Chirp interface with it? Dennis Deaton, WA6ACC Apple Valley, CA

[chirp_users] Using Chirp With a TH D7A/G
by gboche62＠comcast.net 05 Sep '15

I have a legit Baofeng usb cable with the 2 leds, I also have downloaded the latest version of Chirp, I have been able to program all of the Baofeng radios including the GT 3 model with the higher power after I found that you need to remove part of the side of the 2 prong end of the cable so it sits in correctly. Programming was successful after that with that model. The problem I am having is programming a Kenwood TH D7A/G radio. Leaving the usb cable in the same usb slot on my laptop using windows 8.1, and not removing it at any time, when I try to download the radio image it comes up with an error message can not open comm port 5, access is denied. This is the same port I use for programming the Baofeng radios. Also with the usb cable inserted in the Kenwood, it flashes PF 3 which indicates to program function 3 button. This radio shows up in the drop down programming box just before you attempt to download or upload. Any suggestions? I tried restarting the computer and other things with no results. Again I am using windows 8.1. Glenn

[chirp_users] Trying to upload to BaoFeng radio
by Dr. Whit Woodard 04 Sep '15

I haven’t used my Chirp app in over a year and I am trying to add a repeater to my BaoFeng BF-F8 channels. I was able to open the .img file and make the addition, but I am unable to either download or upload from or to the radio. My Chirp app says it’s 0.4.0 Do I need to upgrade Chirp? If so where and how? Or do I need to look for something else? Thanks, Whit

[chirp_users] Yaesu VX6 won't communicate with Chirp (Robert Zamalin)
by Stanley Klakamp 04 Sep '15

Is the plug your using that goes into the radio a screw in type? The VX6 uses a screw in type plug for the microphone / headset. The part of the body of the plug that is closest to the pin has threads on it. It's designed that way to help with the waterproof nature of the VX6. When I tried to plug in my generic plug (without the threads on the body) it would not go in far enough to make contact and would not communicate with the radio. I trimmed the plastic on the body of the plug next to the pin of the plug with wire cutters to make it smaller. It still was not small enough to just push the plug in, but I could then screw it in far enough until it made contact. Then the computer would communicate with the radio and I could use Chirp after that. Possibly that's what's going on with yours??? 73 Stan K8LL NW Ohio, USA 10-10# 76801 FP# 3255 Propagation is our master . . . but sometimes the master is cruel!

[chirp_users] Icom IC-A24
by david jensen 04 Sep '15

I have been using Chirp for years with amateru radio HTs I have a new Icom IC-A24 which is an air band AM HT to carry as a backup in the cockpit should the radio or power fail and before startup. Is there any risk using the 3.5mm TRS tip used for Icom amateur HTs? Has anyone known of Chirp being used with Icom air band radios? I am thinking that sending the dump command should not brick a radio but it was purchased used and therefore has no warranty.

Good Morning All: I am using a Yaesu VX6, iMac 21.5 and OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. and a cable from KawaMall. When I am attempting to download the contents from the my Yaesu VX6 into CHIRP while in the clone function ,I get an error message saying “an error has occurred” failed to communicate with the radio-no response from radio. What further steps should I take to correct this. Thanks for your time 73 Bob Zamalin, WA6VIP
