[chirp_users] Programming New BTECH GMRS-50X1
I successfully programmed a new BTECH GMRS-50X1 using my older BTECH GMRS-V1 as a basis.
However, it took 4 min and 30 sec to upload to the radio. The first thing I did was read out the 50X1 and write back to it. That upload and all since, with new entries, have taken about the same time, which seems excessively long? I don't see this with other radios.
Latest version of CHIRP on Windows 10 running on Parallels on a MacBook Pro using both BTECH and RT Systems cables. Comm port says it's 9600 baud.

Interesting. When I run CHIRP directly on the Mac, the upload time is about 4 times faster: 1 min 5 sec.
Must be something going on in CHIRP or Windows 10 or Parallels when I run it that way. I usually do all radio programming in Windows 10, but when CHIRP is the only way, maybe directly on the Mac is better? I don't see any slow action for other radio programming, CHIRP or RT Systems, when running on Windows 10.

Dave, have you tried connecting the Chirp cable to a USB 3.0 port on Win10? 3.0 is a lot faster. Ignore this if you have already tried it :-) ________________________________ From: chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com on behalf of David C.

The speed of USB3.x has zero bearing on the speed of programming a radio over a serial port. Even the first generation of USB (USB1.1) running at 11Mbps is WAY faster technology than the serial port connecting to the radio say at 38400 bps. That's 0.03Mbps. More likely, the reason for seeing different speeds of programming is due to delays from the program sending get getting acknowledgements from the radio, serial port delays due to emulation, etc.

Dave, never mind. I have been using my Chirp cable in a USB 1.1 port and just switched it to a USB 3.0 port. The data transfer times are the same. I tried it on a Baofeng UV-82c with 37 frequencies programmed in it. No difference in time. ________________________________ From: chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com on behalf of David C.

I had to move my mouse & keyboard back to 1.1, keyboard was acting crazy on 3.0. ________________________________ From: chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com on behalf of David C.

This is a known issue.

Thanks for all the responses.
Where is the issue? Windows 10 driver? Parallels? CHIRP? It's the same driver on the Mac in both cases.
The cables were always plugged into the same USB 2.0 physical port on a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) HUB that provides USB-C, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0 ports.
