[chirp_users] unlocked GT5R transmission frequency issue
by frrobert＠frrobert.com 20 Feb '22

20 Feb '22

**** The issue I am having is of my own making and it is not a problem with Chirp**** I did not submit a bug report because I am using the radio in unsupported way. I have an unlocked GT5R. Everything in Chirp works great except transmission frequency. If I upload channels from my computer to the GT5R everything looks fine and it receives fine but every channel when I go to transmit has a frequency of 666.666 and the radio freezes. Once I turn it off and back on it is not frozen. The work around I found is to program each channel through the keypad with the appropriate transmission frequency after I do the upload from Chirp. It takes time but then the radio will transmit fine then . Does anyone know of an easier workaround? FYI I am using a week old daily build on Ubuntu 20.04. Thanks

[chirp_users] any DMR radios supported?
by Patrick Larkin Jr 19 Feb '22

19 Feb '22

I'm beginning to look into DMR radios, and so far none are listed on the compatible radios list. Is this a generally true statement that CHIRP doesn't support DMR? If not, I guess it's also safe to say it isn't coming soon. What are DMR folks using most of the time to program their radios? The software that comes from the radio vendor? Thanks!

How can I get my radio supported by CHIRP? In order to add support for a new radio model to CHIRP, a developer needs to reverse engineer the clone protocol and memory format of the radio. This can often be done in a relatively short period of time, but requires physical access to the radio itself. If you're interested in loaning your radio for this process, please follow these steps: 1. Look at the <https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Wiki> front page to make /sure/ that it is not already supported 2. Look at the current set of <http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/issues?query_id=15> new model requests to see if it has already been requested. If it has, do not open another issue, but feel free to post comments and pledges to help in that item 3. If neither of the above applies, then open a <http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/issues/new> new request Please note that there are many new models hitting the market each month. The chinese radio manufacturers crank them out at unbelievable rates. Many of these are copies of the same model, but often changed in very tiny but incompatible ways. As a volunteer-fueled project, we can't possibly address every model that shows up. Everyone wants their radio to be supported, but we have to address the models that are the most popular and which have developer support. If you are in the market for a radio, it is highly recommended that you check the CHIRP model support list before making a purchase. At the beginning of 2016, there were over 300 requests to support new models in CHIRP pending in the issue tracker. A quick search did not show a request to support this radio.

[chirp_users] Been trying to figure out how to program IC-7100 for almost a year now
by Thomas Burns 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

hi all, As I've mentioned above, Been trying to figure out how to program IC-7100 for almost a year now. I've followed the live mode radio "import/export" directions as well as the instructions outlined in Bug #7807. I cannot get the radio to accept any input or programming whatsoever. I'm using the latest version and daily update on a raspberry pi 400. Is there anyone who can provide me with or direct me to a step by step guide for programming an Icom IC-7100? Thanks in advance, Conor KI7CRG

[chirp_users] CHIRP support for MacOS/Prolific
by Gary Ross 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

Hi, Just received a Yaesu FT-65R and a genuine SCU-35 programing cable (Prolific PL2303). I tried programming my radio with CHIRP4 on Monterey 12.1 on a 2020 MacBook Air, and CHIRP3 on Catalina 10.15 on a 2017 MacBook Air and receive an error with both configurations. Having received the error, I tried to install the Prolific driver found here: http://www.prolific.com.tw/us/showproduct.aspx?p_id=229&pcid=41 I am unclear if the driver was needed or installed correctly. Does anyone have experience with later versions of MacOS/CHIRP/FT-65R? Thanks, Gary
