Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng Radios Power Column

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

There's a column in Chirp if you work from the Chirp editor instead of CSV 
files.

Re: [chirp_users] New Python coming?

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

But Chirp is only a set of Python scripts written in plain text.
Plain text is only 8 bit so why would the OS matter?
It's only the Python runtime that needs to be 64 bit.

Probably not but you can always set up email rules to reject those you don't 
want.

See the docs for your email client.

Forget CSV. Do it in Chirp's editor.

Re: [chirp_users] MDF-A and B

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

I don't memorise frequencies.

In my radios, I display the name of the city or the name of the owning club. 
Frequencies are only for simplex.

I suggest you send your radios to the dealer and get them to do the programming.

It's not for someone who knows nothing about radios.

Perhaps the BJ-218 doesn't support 12.5K. Chirp thinks your radio is a 218.

I'm guessing that, on your laptop, you would have needed to press the "show

That's unlikely to be Chirp.

More likely your device driver installation. Which COM port does your device 
manager say that your cable is using?

Don't believe that one either.

Billy,

 

Please answer these questions in my yesterday's message below one by one so we 
can help you.

 

If you're using Mac or Linux skip the questions regarding Device Manager, but 
you may still get a notification if you unplug and plug back in your USB cable. 
 We need to know the name the notification gives you for the location of the 
cable.

 

Most of the problems people have is they are using counterfeit chips in 
inexpensive pirated USB converters under Windows which use Prolific chip sets, 
or the cable physically isn't fitting into the radio sufficiently enough and we 
can advise you what to do to make it fit.

 

We need more information from you to start helping you.

Billy,

 

Tell us these things.

 

What Operating System and Version are you using?

Example Windows Vista, or Arch Linux, etc.

 

Go to Device Manager if you're using Windows and see if there are any Warnings 
especially under connections and com ports. If so, what are the warnings?

 

Unplug your cable into the computer from your radio. One of the com ports will 
go away in Device Manager. Now plug it in, you should get a notification, what 
com port does it say? Do you get a notification?

 

Make sure the com port that you cable is using is the same one selected in 
CHIRP.

For those Linux users who feel neglected, you can install Homebrew with:

Re: [chirp_users] UV-5R and volume.

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

True. The setting of the volume control has NOTHING to do with programming.

If you have to wait several minutes between plugging in the radio and 
downloading with Chirp then your Windows installation is broken. It's not Chirp 
causing it.

Re: [chirp_users] UV-5R and volume.

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

Data uses the same connector. It doesn't go through the radio's audio chain. 
Audio is disabled when in program mode.

But Chirp definitely supports Yaesu radios.

What Yaesu does is compleatly irrelevant.

He may well have a Python library missing.

I installed the latest Chirp, as of today, and it knows about the FT-3200D. I plugged the cable into the computer USB and the radio microphone jack. By trial and error, I discovered that the FTM-3200D goes into CLONE mode by holding in SETUP and then turning it on. Also, by trial and error, I found that the FTM-3200D went into TRANSMIT mode to the computer by starting the Chirp Download from Radio, and then pressing REV on the FT-3200, whereupon the radio went to TX mode and began to count up, and Chirp also showed that it was downloading data. The process finished, the radio went back to CLONE, but Chirp returned a checksum error. Chirp does not display any radio data after the failure. To sum up, the radio is happy that it spoke to Chirp, but Chirp is not happy with what it heard, probably at the end of the exchange.Does anyone know how I can get past this error message?Thank you and 73,Jan, KX2A___chirp_users mailing listchirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.comhttp://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_usersThis message was sent to John LaMartina at joh...@usa.netTo unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscr...@intrepid.danplanet.com___chirp_users mailing listchirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.comhttp://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_usersThis message was sent to Nigel Gunn, W8IFF at ni...@ngunn.netTo unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscr...@intrepid.danplanet.com

.CSV dowsn't mean that the correct fields are included or in the correct order,

Not necessarily. In both Libre Office and Excel you can specify what the

The one you download from the Baofeng website.
You can try  https://www.farnsworth.org/dale/codeplug/editcp/ but it might only

Re: [chirp_users] Field names across different radios.

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

Yes, columns are consistent across all radio types.
Don't mess with CSV files.
You can copy and paste between Chirp windows/tabs.

Re: [chirp_users] Field names across different radios.

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

True but the column headings are the same for all radios, which is what the 
original poster asked.
Chirp will take account of the differences in column contents.

Re: [chirp_users] Field names across different radios.

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

What is there to transpose?
TSQL to TONE SQL or T-sql are only column headers. They all mean the same thing 
and, as groups of letters, do not get  uploaded to the radio. They only exist 
within Chirp.
Chirp only uploads the number in the box.

Re: [chirp_users] Field names across different radios.

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

You can just copy and paste between Chirp tabs and upload to the other radio. 
Chirp will look after the radio's requirements.
If you use csv and a spreadsheet program, be aware that Microsoft Excel is 
known to corrupt the spreadsheet by making unwanted entries in some empty 
cells. Better to use Libre Office or Open Office.

Re: [chirp_users] Field names across different radios.

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

Chirp will sort out the data. Just download from the new radio first so that 
Chirp knows which radio you're uploading to.
Don't invent problems that don't exist. Just use it.

Re: [chirp_users] Chirp under Linux

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

You've specified the wrong com port?
My CPS doesn't ask for a com port. It just seems to find the radio. However, it 
does get confused if I have 2 radios connected (to different USB ports).

That's my experience.
It just works, every time. At least with any flavour of Ubuntu that I've tried.

Also, if you want upgrades to work, (also for fldigi and gpredict) edit the 
appropriate lines in /etc/apt/sources.list as follows:

Re: [chirp_users] Chirp under Linux

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

The Windows equivalent of sudo is "run as administrator" which you Windows 
users often seem to need.
At least with Linux, I can initiate an update and ALL the software I have 
installed gets updated. No going around multiple websites looking for updates. 
And it only takes 5 minutes at most for big system updates without numerous 
reboots during the process.

Re: [chirp_users] Programming Troubles

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

Channel spacing is irrelevent.
He cant hear you because you have CTCSS encode on and he DOES NOT have CTCSS 
decode on. You both need either encode AND decode ON or both OFF.

Re: [chirp_users] Programming Troubles

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

Channel spacing is the steps that the tuning knob or buttons step in.
It's DEVIATION that you are referring to.
Neither has any effect on SQUELCH on most radios.
Deviation will effect the loudness of the received signal.

Being programmable by Chirp has NOTHING to do with fake chips. That's a Windows

Re: [chirp_users] chirp_users Digest, Vol 133, Issue 8

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

It's not the "Linux distro" thaty detects the chip and provides the device 
driver. 
Device drivers are in the kernal and all Linux distros get their kernal from 
the same place. All kernals for a current distro will be the latest version of 
the one kernal available.
If the kernal changes to detect fake chips then all future distros will be 
impacted.

Re: [chirp_users] Programming Baofeng UV-5R

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

Yes. Has a .img filename suffix.
First time you download from radio you should go to the "files" menu in Chirp 
and save that file before you edit it. Just in case anything gets messed up and 
you need to restore the radio.

Re: [chirp_users] Image Files

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

Chirp doesn't support the MD-380.
You can save the file produced by your code page editor but that is likely only 
a configuration file and not a complete memory image.

Re: [chirp_users] Error-radio did not respond

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

You upload TO radio, DOWNLOAD from radio.
It's probably not com3. Mine is /dev/ttyUSB0
You probably have the wrong device driver loaded for the cable which probably 
isn't plugged in far enough.
Think we need more details.

No you don't.
Open images of both radios into two different Chirp tabs and cut/copy/paste 
between the tabs.
You don't have to use csv files/spreadsheets for anything OTHER THAN to print a 
copy of your channel designations if you need a printed copy.

You don't need a Bill Gates machine.

You need virtually any second hand standard PC without operating system and 
load FREE Linux.

Re: [chirp_users] Google Chrome?

[Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF]

I've found a problem with the crouton script.
It repartitions your hard drive, which is probably only 16GB to start with and, 
having removed crouton and reverted to vanilla Chrome OS, I have lost 5GB, I 
assume, in a hidden partition that I can't get back.
So now, if I reinstall Linux, it only starts with 11GB.
Can't afford to loose that amount.

Your money, your paranoia.
RT gets expensive when you've got several different radios.
It's twice the price of a cheap radio.

Correct. Whilst someone might have had an incident, it is mainly scaremongering.

There's DMR software for Linux for some radios. Try EDITCP.

You can use Chirp to set any frequency that the radio is capable of.

Chirp is functionally identical on all operating systems.
