[chirp_users] Schedule for Support of Radios
I am the Emergency coordinator for our County ARES. I have the following radios that need to have a common set of frequencies programmed into them:
VX-5R - Supported FT-857D - Supported FT-897D - Not Supported FT-8800R - Supported FT-7900R - Not Directly Supported (Programs as an FT-7800R) FT-2800M - Supported TS-2000(x) - Not Supported KG-UV6X - Not Supported FT-60R - Supported
I have long said the ALL radio manufacturers should be required to have a common dataset for programming their radios. Lo and Behold, I have found CHIRP!
If the not supported radios listed above could be added, my life would be so much easier!
While I do not have spare radios to loan, I can willingly be a Beta Tester.

VX-5R - Supported FT-857D - Supported FT-897D - Not Supported
Yes it is. The 857 and 897 are functionally equivalent and the single driver works for the both of them.
FT-8800R - Supported FT-7900R - Not Directly Supported (Programs as an FT-7800R)
The 7800 and 7900 are the _same_ radio. They even identify themselves as the same exact model. CHIRP couldn't tell the difference between them if it wanted to.
FT-2800M - Supported TS-2000(x) - Not Supported
Tom has a prototype driver for this and has been looking for people to help test.
http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/217
KG-UV6X - Not Supported
Yes, it is.
I'm not sure where you're getting your information, but the front page of the chirp website is where we keep the definitive list of supported radio models.
I'll beta the TG-UV5 if anyone every provides chirp for it.

Dennis,
Doesn't the FT-897D have the same support as the FT-857D? Everything I've ever read has told me they're the same radio in different housings.
And yes, I agree, being able to provide multiple radios with the same set of frequencies is a wonderful thing. I am anxiously awaiting the day when Dan and his crew are able to add Quansheng TG-UV2 support to the list.

We need more information. In what way doesn't it work? Does the program not launch? Does it not update the radio? Does it crash your computer? Does it run Excel instead of Chirp? Was it elected to Congress? Tell us as much as you can.
Let me ask you a question first: Are you trying to program the radio with a USB cable that has a Prolific chipset? (This is the most common cause of not being able to update a radio using Chirp. Not all USB cables cause this problem, but a significant number do.)

Let me ask you a question first: Are you trying to program the radio with a USB cable that has a Prolific chipset? (This is the most common cause of not being able to update a radio using Chirp. Not all USB cables cause this problem, but a significant number do.)
Just for clarification here:
There is no conflict between CHIRP and Prolific devices. Since the prolific device is the most prolific (pun intended) it is the most often copied, and thus there are a *lot* of copies, fakes, and broken drivers floating around out there. In most cases, a flaky driver or device will not work for the OEM software, much less CHIRP.
Right, I should have been a bit more clear. As Dan says there are a lot of knockoff Prolific chips out there. In an effort to cut down on piracy Prolific altered their drivers so that they would work with genuine Prolific chips, but would throw errors and show up with the dreaded yellow triangle icon in Device Manager if you try to use them with knockoffs. Many many users have reported this problem on the various lists I subscribe to, and there are workarounds, but all of them are more painful than just buying a cable with a genuine Prolific chip (or with an FTDI chip, which doesn't seem to have this problem).
If you have one of these knockoffs no software will work with your cable. And again, if the problem is something different, let us know and we'll see if we can get you through it.
Cheers,

I initially had a bear of a time with my cable.
There's a page on a UV5R website that might help.
Go to the USB Driver Cables section.
My cable with the Prolific clone chip drove me crazy until I loaded the correct driver.
Hope this helps.

The pgm loads but I can't find the port. When I look in device mgr. the software that installed driver is no where to befoud.

The FT-897D is supported in the development builds.
Today's build is here: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20120723/
