I want to be able to program in frequencies that aren't in the normal HAM range. My intent is to monitor those frequencies -- I'm not planning on transmitting. I realize this isn't a good choice but better than carrying multiple radios. I can program these frequencies by hand but the software tries to "protect me from myself".

UV-5RB

Is that possible?

Is Chirp support planned for the Icom IC-7100?

How can I request CHIRP to develop the programming for the Feidaxin FD-286A? I saw no place to make such a request on their website. Or for that matter, does anyone know of software to program this little Chinese HT. It's actually quite a nice little thing. Thanks, Richard AG5M

Looks like none of the developers have an IC-7100.

Hey folks,

I recently picked up a Yaesu FT-8100, and I'm looking to program it with CHIRP. Has anybody else given this bad boy a shot? It looks to be programmable, so I'm hoping to adapt the CHIRP support for one of the other Yaesu mobiles, but I'm hoping maybe it's actually easier than that.

Yaesus are generally pretty easy to write support for. They all use the same clone "protocol" (really just a dump of their memory with no protocol per se). Start with a similar model and try a Download From Radio. If it's an exact match, everything will work fine. If not, an error will be reported. You'll want to save the .img and inspect it with a hex editor after the failed download. Tweak memsize to make sure you get the whole thing.

This type of conversation is more appropriate for the chirp_devel list: http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_devel

Good Morning to All from new guy....

Greg here in Indianapolis, and brand new to the group & using CHIRP. Just received a BaoFeng BF-F8HP yesterday and have been playing with. I was amble to download from radio, but not upload. When I try to upload a new 'img' file, I get the following error message:

Unsupported firmware version: N5R3401F8HP-1

Not sure how to look for this, nor where to find.

Thanks, in advance for any help..... Greg

Greg,

You currently should not be using the CHIRP stable build for any Baofeng/Pofung radios because of memory layout changes in the latest models. Also, the CHIRP stable build does not support the radios with 3 power levels (see the Support Radios list on the CHIRP home page. Upgrade to the latest CHIRP daily build and you should be OK.
