[chirp_users] Setting a channel to receive only
by Scott Miller 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

Hi, I have a Baoefeng UV-5R that I program with chirp. Some of the frequencies I just want to monitor (such as the fire department). I did a search and it led me to Bug 211 in the Chirp Issues. None of the instructions in the issue seem to work for me and the ticket has not been updated in 3 years. Any information would be appreciated. Scott WA6CGO

I've just installed the latest build of chirp but can't seem to upload to my Yaesu FT-817nd. I can download the memory without any issues, but when I try to up load I get an error, 'radio did not ack block 0'. Any ideas how to get round this?

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5RA Offset Resets to 000.000
by Kiera Koster 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

I have noticed that no matter how I program my Baofeng UV-5RA (CHIRP, Baofeng Software, manual programming from the radio's keyboard) the offset will reset to 000.000 and not keep the programmed offset of 000.600. Does anyone know why this particular radio does that? I appreciate any help I can receive. Kiera KG7RKU

[chirp_users] Issue Loading to a KenwoodTH-F6A
by n9jcq＠aol.com 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Hi all, I am new to Chirp so forgive the nooby question. I have a file in both CSV and Chirp format that I am trying to load to my F6A. I cannot load either file because I cannot activate the upload option from the menu nor Crtl U. I can download from the radio with no issues. Any suggestions? Joe, N9JCQ

[chirp_users] Chirp Works!!!
by F Mitchell 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

THANKS Chirp developers! In the past few days, I have programmed 4 Baofeng UV5R radios of various vintage, a Kenwood TH-F6, a Yaesu VX-8GR, and Wouxun KG-UV8D and KG-UVD1P radios using Chirp latest daily build. (20150702). I found 4 generic programming cables in my programming box, all apparently Prolific chipped or clones, all worked. All the cable chips were identified as Prolific by Windows or by Linux. I have used Windows 7 on an Asus laptop, Windows 7 running in Virtual Box on a MacBook Pro, Kubuntu running in Virtual Box on the MacBook Pro, and Ubuntu 14.04 running on an HP Spirit 13 (I dumped Win 8) to do the programming. Chirp just worked on all of that hardware and different operating systems. I briefly tried to get Chirp going native on the MacBook Pro, but didn’t spend the time as Chirp was working great on the Mac in Virtual Box. Things I learned: plug in the programming cable after Chirp is running; and you have to find the correct port that the programming cable is on. Chirp just works!!! THANKS! THANKS!! THANKS!!!

[chirp_users] Options not in CHIRP (UV-5R series)
by Julian Gough 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

Does anybody know if it is likely to be possible to program options not available through the interface? I have a pair of Baofeng GT-3TP (basically the UV-5R). I want to run 9600 baud packet over them and have found that in the RDA1846 chip: http://www.uv3r.com/images/Schematic-Baofeng-UV5R.pdf there is an option to turn off filtering and pre/de-emphasis. Set register 58 to 023B My current option for doing this is to physically hack into the serial bus, insert a switching chip and use a raspberry pi to switch control away from the radio's onboard microcontroller chip to the raspberry pi serial GPIOs, program this option into the RDA1846 and then switch back control to the radio. Pretty heavy work for something that might be possible in software by programming the onboard controller (using CHIRP). Any guidance very much appreciated.

Re: [chirp_users] Cambria County

You won't find many receivers that are "good enough" to handle that spacing with both frequencies being used so close together. If this is just an issue with it interfering with your personal scanning pleasure, that's just life; but IF those frequencies are both being used by the same agency, it was very poor planning on the part of whoever decided to use THOSE specific frequencies from among all the frequencies and separate licenses that the county holds. Those frequencies are on two completely different licenses, which were almost certainly originally meant to be two different agencies. It isn't unusual for a city or county government to decide that since they "own" all the licenses issued to their various agencies so they can play mix and match with the frequencies and sometimes the combinations that get chosen don't work very well together. > Those 2 frequencies are EMS Dispatch and and an interop operations > frequency. > ~Bob > On Tue, Aug 4, 2015 at 1:39 AM, W Paul Mills <AC0HY(a)wpmills.com> wrote: > These receivers are no where near good enough to handle spacing this > close on receive. > > On 08/03/2015 09:14 PM, Bob Burkett wrote: > > Tower is relatively close...
