[chirp_users] Drivers
I just installed the most recent Chirp on a Windows 7 laptop. It will not identify the cable that I have used for years on my other computer. I can't find where I can download the drivers. I use Windows 7 for all my Ham Radio computer needs. About 3 weeks ago my original dead.

[chirp_users] Duplex off with Baofeng uv-5r8w
Hi I a am trying to block TX in a frequency on two Baofeng UV-5R8W radios I have a UV-5R +plus that works as expected with duplex set to off. The two UV-5R8W that display all 6's in the frequency and locks the radios in the transmit mode unit powered down, upon restating it works fine, unless I try to TX on the duplex off frequency again. All three radios have BFB298 and 210223 firmware display. Chrip display HN5RV01 as the firmware. I am using the radio model UV-5R on the UV-5R+plus and using the BF-F8HP model for the UV-5R8W radios. Thanks for any ides on how to get the Duplex off to function as a TX block. -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ___ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to arch...@mail-archive.com at arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscr...@intrepid.danplanet.com To report this email as off-topic, please email chirp_users-ow...@intrepid.danplanet.com

The radio has to support the Duplex = "off" feature. It sounds like your UV-5R8W might not. CHIRP disabled TX by not setting a TX frequency in the radio. What happens when you program a channel with no TX frequency using the OEM programming software?

Re: [chirp_users] Duplex off with Baofeng uv-5r8w
I don't understand - I've read your description several times, and I can't follow it. Are you trying to transmit close to a band edge and the duplex function locks the radio when the offset is outside the authorized band? Duplex is a menu item, set per channel, you can set it to + positive, - negative, or off (simplex). Additionally, you can set the size of the offset in the menu. Menu items can be changed either through the programming software or the radio's "front panel" Ken, N2VIP > On Mar 23, 2022, at 18:41, PS wrote: > > > Hi > > I a am trying to block TX in a frequency on two Baofeng UV-5R8W radios I > have a UV-5R +plus that works as expected with duplex set to off.

[chirp_users] MacOS 12.3 question
Hi, I have a MAC M1 chip laptop run in MacOS 12.3 which has removed python 2.7. I am a new chirp user. I have performed the steps in the tips for macOS. When I try to run chirp it displays an error that it can’t find a file for python 2.7. Anyone know how to fix this?

Re: [chirp_users] MacOS 12.3 question
Unfortunately right now there isn't. CHIRP is coded with Python 2, which has been EOL'd for some time now, until development gets it migrated over to python3 (which, while they are working on, has no ETA in sight) the only solution is to not upgrade to Python 2. This affects more than just MacOS 12.3 as many Linux distributions drop support for Python 2 as well. It's a shame that we are all affected.

Re: [chirp_users] MacOS 12.3 question
Hi, With Dan’s advice, I was able to install python 2.7 on my MacBook macOS 12.3 and was able to run chirp. macOS tips page has been updated with that information for MacOS 12.3.
