[chirp_users] MacOS 12.3 question
by Steve 23 Mar '22

23 Mar '22

Hi, I have a MAC M1 chip laptop run in MacOS 12.3 which has removed python 2.7. I am a new chirp user. I have performed the steps in the tips for macOS. When I try to run chirp it displays an error that it can’t find a file for python 2.7. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

[chirp_users] Duplex off with Baofeng uv-5r8w
by PS 23 Mar '22

23 Mar '22

Hi I a am trying to block TX in a frequency on two Baofeng UV-5R8W radios I have a UV-5R +plus that works as expected with duplex set to off. The two UV-5R8W that display all 6's in the frequency and locks the radios in the transmit mode unit powered down, upon restating it works fine, unless I try to TX on the duplex off frequency again. All three radios have BFB298 and 210223 firmware display. Chrip display HN5RV01 as the firmware. I am using the radio model UV-5R on the UV-5R+plus and using the BF-F8HP model for the UV-5R8W radios. Thanks for any ides on how to get the Duplex off to function as a TX block. -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

[chirp_users] Using Chirp In The CLI
by K0LNY_Glenn 20 Mar '22

20 Mar '22

Hi, For some reason, the audio is out on my Ubuntu in my shack, on the computer I have connected to my Kenwood TS 2000. I can SSH into it from elsewhere in the house though. I have Chirp installed on the computer that is connected to the Kenwood 2K. I usually install Chirp in the CLI, but I have always used it in the GUI. So, since for now, I only have use of the computer for programming my radio via SSH, I'm wondering if there is a way to read and write to the radio via SSH. Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Retevis RA 685: Transmit open, but not on programmed channels
by Andreas Führmann 20 Mar '22

20 Mar '22

Hi there, just aquired an RA 685 and programmed it with Chirp. For emergency reasons I have also added frequencies outside of the ham band. Now the mistery begins. The radio came open with transmit from 136 to 178 MHz and from 400 to 480 MHz, which is working without any problem but only in VFO mode. When I go to channel mode f.I. on 446 MHz (European PMR), it will not transmit. Maybe I‘ve overseen a check box or is there any trick to overcome this issue? Thanks in advance. 73 de DC3AFA, Andy

You could try putting a USB soundcard in the computer where sound is out. This one works in Ubunrltu and Raspberry Pi OS without requiring manual configuration: LZYCO USB Audio Adapter 2 Packs,USB to Audio Jack External Stereo Sound Card with One 3.5mm Aux TRRS Headphone or Headset to USB Adapter for Integrated Audio Out & Microphone in, Do Not Work for TV https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B072J7WLQ5/ Alternatively, if you are running Linux on the computer that has sound, you can forward X over ssh to allow GUI programs running on the shack machine to run on the machine with sound. The -X (dash capital x) option added to your ssh command would do it. The screen reader shouldn't have any trouble with it, since it's I distinguishable from having it run on the local Linux box. C.

Hello all, I'm considering purchasing a FT-818, though it doesn't come with any cables (USB or serial). Does anyone know what cable(s) I need to have Chirp to communicate with this radio? Wayne de VK6VE

Hi, I’m a new ham, but an experienced Mac programmer. I’m sorry if this is presumptive, but I’d like to help. I know how to sign code, and I have the certs to do it. I have an app on the Mac App Store. I’d like to help make CHIRP available to Mac users who are on modern Macs. Thanks, Don Carlile AJ6VU Sent from my iPad
