Re: [chirp_users] Trouble with Chirp & Yaesu FT-60R

[John Dodd]

Try RT Systems software...not too expensive and worth it. I use it for my
Yaesu FT3D and it work great. You do need a special cable OR you can remove
the SD card from the HT and insert it into yore computer, program the SD
card then put back in HT and wahla!!

Another Windows program to use is FT-60 Commander software (free) found at 
www.kc8unj.com. Use the alternate write method. Works quite nicely.

Yes. Spend the money and use the ADMS software. It works great. Easy to use.

Re: [chirp_users] benefits of upgrading

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

I use chirp-daily it's always the latest version because I don't want to
take a chance of having my system update libs that need updated code from
chirp to avoid any damage to my radios.

Obviously you can do what you want, but I wouldn't unless you don't update
the other files in your system and your Linux system is frozen in time.
Don't upgrade just some of the files unless you have a good reason.

I’d definitely try the previous CHIRP version that had worked for you. Have you 
tried that yet?

Re: [chirp_users] Use of Chirp

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

What type  of operating system do you use?  Windows, Mac, Linux?
Linux is the easiest because there is no driver problem for fake USB  chips.

Can you undelete your original file that you previously saved?  That's
an important file.

Regards,
David

[chirp_users] Leixen 898S

[Kurt]

Hi,
I have Chirp 20200207 on a Windows platform installed fine and it communicates 
fine with the 
USB cable to my Leixen 898s.  Now I understand how the clone function works as 
I've used it 
with other radios.  I understand the radio is supposed to take any changes 
"live" and I'm not 
supposed to have to use "upload to radio".
What I've noticed is the changes don't get written to the radio.  Has the 
protocol changed as 
I see the "upload to radio" in the pulldown is not grayed out?

Re: [chirp_users] Leixen 898S

[phil]

For those having issues with chirp and all of a sudden it won’t read the radio 
I found that anti-virus and anti-malware programs sometimes will quarantine the 
driver software especially if it is of Chinese origin. I usually turn my 
malware and antivirus off when installing but in some cases had to exclude 
certain folders and programs in order for it to work.
