A friend just bought a new Baofeng BA-F8+ and is having considerable trouble programming it. Is there a specific version of Chirp which will do the trick? Ken W7EKB

[chirp_users] Add-on Modules/Scripts for Chirp ?
by KB6LWN - Bruce 17 May '22

17 May '22

Hello Group, Just received delivery of a new-old Uniden BC-780XLT Trunk Tracker III Scanner, and I'd like to be able to program it with my PC (Linux Mint Desktop), and I'm wondering if there is a 'module' available for Chirp that will allow me to do this. Just updated to the latest FlatPak. (Linux Mint 20.4) Since I use Linux - I don't have access to run the MS- Windows version of the software specifically written for this receiver. Which reminds me 'rigctl' seems to read the receiver and I have gotten a list of the cmd- capabilities using that tool, if that is needed... If there is not a module specifically FOR this receiver, perhaps I could get a copy of a module for another unit that I might be able to modify for my use. Anything is better than going back to Windows, or trying to get Wine to work under Linux... A Linux native (port) is really needed for scanner Ops... At this point I use Chirp to program my various BTech, Bao's, Leixen, and a couple more, and it makes the task so much easier. Hope to do the same with the scanner...

[chirp_users] UV-5RE Plus Working Model Settings query
by dpbarry＠barryweb.co.uk 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hi Folks. Have just set up my UV-5RE Plus with relevant channels and settings but one that is causing me a bit of a head scratcher in the Work Mode Settings is the MR A Channel and MR B Channel. Maybe I'm misunderstanding this but I set these two fields up to hold location 16 and location 60 as 'Defaults' so that no matter what channel I left it at when I switched the radio off, when I switched it back on again, it would revert back to the 'Defaults' If I have understood this facility correctly, it isn't doing it. If I move off a default channel using the up or down arrow then switch the radio off then back on again, it stays at the last positions - it doesn't revert back to the defaults. Have I misintrepreted this?? Regards Declan

[chirp_users] UV-5RTP Settings Tab
by Jack Earl 07 May '22

07 May '22

Good afternoon, I recently set up my UV-5RTP using chirp. I uploaded my new memories but went back to change some settings and the settings tab is blank. I have re uploaded, restarted the program and radio, and tried to start over to no avail. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you. Jack

I noticed there was a request to add this radio that was posted about 4 years ago. I don't know if it is anybody's project but I have one with the Mr. Potatohead microphone that I will loan to whomever wants to build a driver for this radio to program in Chirp. Offer includes a programming cable. David Davis Oregon Sent using https://www.zoho.com/mail/

[chirp_users] Receiver Support
by K0LNY_Glenn 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

Hi, A friend has an iCom receiver, model R 75. I looked on the supported radios page and I read that there are 31 iCom radios supported. On line in finding a page on this radio, it reads that the R 75 can be programmed via the RS232 port in back. Does anyone here know if another model in the supported radios will work for this HF scanner? Thanks. Glenn
