Trouble with Linux USB port
by Gregory Beyer 12 Jan '25

12 Jan '25

Hi, I'm having trouble with CHIRP not recognizing any USB ports. I'm running LinuxMint 21, Mate. I've installed chirp-20250110-py3-none-any.whl per the instructions at /wiki/ChirpOnLinux. Other than needing to install python3-yattag, it went smoothly. Love how fast chirp loads over the flatpak I used to use a long time ago! When I run chirp, and scroll through the ports, there are no USB ports listed. Tried "Help me" and got "Unable to determine a port for your cable. Check your drivers and connections." Under Mate System Reports/System Information, I see the cable listed under USB hub 1: Device-2: 1-2:40 info: QinHeng CH340 serial converter type: <vendor specific> driver: usbfs rev: 1.1 speed: 12 Mb/s chip-ID: 1a86:7523. I plugged my cable into a different USB port, cable appears under hub 2 in the report. So, my OS is recognizing the cable, on either USB port, but CHIRP does not. Even tho I'm not getting a permission denied error, I tried "sudo usermod -a -G $(stat -c %G /dev/ttyUSB0) $USER" anyway, and got "stat: cannot statx '/dev/ttyUSB0': No such file or directory." Same error when I tried command for USB1 and USB2. Any suggestions on how I can resolve? Thanks much, *________________________* *Greg Beyer greg(a)beyerusa.net* KQ4AVZ

Retevis H777 Unable to Connect
by jmorin06＠gmail.com 11 Jan '25

11 Jan '25

Greetings! New CHIRP user here. I ordered (4) Retevis H777 radios and am trying to program them. Two radios are the "newer" version (with usb-c charging) while the other two are an "older" version. I am able to connect, download, and upload to the older version radios, but not the newer version radios. When I try, I get the error message "Error communicating with radio, no response from radio". Tried with all three of the H777 profiles (H777, H777 Plus, H777S). The first two profiles give the same error message already described. The third is a different error message "The radio did not accept program mode after five tries...". Radio is on, tried different computers (Mac and windows) also made sure I was using latest CHIRP build (10-Jan-2025). Nothing works... I am able to program with the Retevis CPS. The "newer" version does have some different features so maybe it needs a new profile/model in CHIRP? Before I submit a bug/new model request, I wanted to check here to see if anyone has advice or experience working with this "newer" H777 model. Thanks!

UV-5R receive issues using CHIRP
by Dave 11 Jan '25

11 Jan '25

I downloaded the CHIRP software I received with the radio, I used updated software to program the radio, it transmits fine, the problem is that I am not receiving anyone, the color on the radio changes as there are people talking, I have a scanner that also confirms that people are talking, but no audio from the radio, with the exception of the National Weather Service that is programmed in. I have some ham radio, FRS, GMRS Freq's programmed in. Since the updated software puts all the information in for us when you enter the frequency, I am not sure what is going on, any solutions?

My guess is that you put the ctcss tones as receive tones instead of transmit tones. Joe Pizzi KI5LST

"Round-trip" processing with Chirp
by lgadallah＠gmail.com 08 Jan '25

08 Jan '25

Hi all: I have used 'chirpc' to connect to my radio and download the memory map. It is my understanding that entries can be added to a .csv file and these can be added to such a memory map file, allowing updating or adding new entries to the memory map. However, I wonder if there is a way to convert the memory map file to a .csv file, allowing the contents to be managed there? This would allow a "round-trip" capability as mentioned in the title: Configuration could be downloaded from a radio, converted into a .csv file, edited as needed, and then inserted into a memory map file and uploaded to the radio. Note: I may be missing some obvious functionality as I am using 'chirpc' rather than the GUI, as I am remote from the PC and radio. 73, Larry NM7A/VE6VQ
