Have we decided that we want to invest in a BF-V6 which is a 16 channel VHF radio for $41 to be added to Chirp? It has no front panel display.
I don't mind contributing to the purchase of one and having it sent to who every needs it.
Anyone else?

Mike,
Since they need the radio with working OEM software, why don't I send my radio to you for this purpose, Since you are the only one that has managed to get the software to work. My radio is doing me no good at this time.
I am assuming Jim Unroe is willing to receive the radio and software from you. You may want t check with Jim, he suggested capturing data from your working software and sending to him in lieu of sending the radio.

Shipping over the boarder is a bit of pain. If you wish, I can do it for you though unless you get a better offer. :)

Best to see how Jim Unroe wants to proceed.

I think this can be done without sending me a radio.
If Mike has a 32-bit Windows computer available and using the Baofeng software, can capture a download from the radio and an upload to the radio with Microsoft's Portmon software in hex mode and email them to me, that may be all I need to get things started. I'd at least like to try that before mailing any radios or spending any money.
Mike... email me off list if you think you can do this and I will give you more details.
Also, are we all talking about the same radio. Earlier today Mike said BF-V6. Jack, isn't what you have a UV-6? These are completely different radios.

Hi Jim
I am fresh out of 32 bit computers (that explains why portmon stopped working!). It was one of my favorite tools.
I've got a few other RS232 stream capture tools. Let me see what I can do. I don't have the radios at the moment, but I will get one.

Mike, I've never done it, but I understand that you can run portmon in a Windows virtual machine using vritualbox or something similar. Jim
I would also recommend looking at "Free Serial Port Monitor" It's like eltima serial port monitor but free. http://www.serial-port-monitor.com/free-serial-port-monitor-downloads.html
I have used it a few times to gather what I needed. (no idea if it works on anything but xp-32)

Depends on your skill set. I've ran SCO and BSD unix out of Oracle VBOX on 32 bit Win 7. Tried to run OSX 10 but I found out it requires Intel architecture instead of my six core AMD Phenom II Thurban on Asus hardware.
I ran NT4 Hydra Server on a 120mhz P1 Compaq Prosignia 300 server with 520 mbytes of ram and a 4 gig SCSI hard drive. Took a half hour to boot but when it was booted it ran and didn't require a reboot for a year. I used that for a cable modem router before the hardware routers came to be.
It's all how you pay your dues.

Just to confirm, I am talking about a BF-V6, not a UV-6.
