[chirp_users] Download problem

I’m new to Chirp software. The equipment I’m using is a Yaesu FT 60 and a windows 10 laptop. I acquired the cable sometime ago, but haven’t used it until recently. The build I am using is the most recent available. Here’s the problem: I connected the radio to the laptop and uploaded the radio’s

Re: [chirp_users] using chirp for first time.

I have 3 USB ports, one of which holds my mouse receiver. You can see from the screenshot that nothing shows up; there isn't even a category "Ports" displayed. However, exactly as predicted, when I plugged in the cable, "USB Serial Port (COM3)" displays. That's good to know, but I doubt I'll rem

Thanks, Kenneth, for your time and help. Jim's instructions were enough to get me in. This is the cable that D.J.J.Ring Jr. advised me to get in place of the other. Amazon had it for $22.xx. Until I looked at the listing more closely, just now, I had no idea what chip was in it. Now I see that

Re: [chirp_users] Moving Chirp Daily to python3?

I only have two Baofeng UV-5Rs. Therefore, I cannot test anything else. If having to test on web every radio is a prerequisite, it will never get done. Are there more tests that we have, to verify functioning? Taking the remainder of the conversation to the developer list. Joe Pizzi KI5LST O

Re: [chirp_users] using chirp for first time.

Thanks! Somehow, I'm in! I'll not go into all the issues and frustrations the lack of knowledge/information raised for me in this process. Suffice it to say that 'simple instructions' leave a lot of stuff out which is vital for the non-tech Chuck K7CFB On Sun, Jun 6, 2021 at 4:23 PM Jim Unroe

I got the cable, plugged it in and nothing. went to the www.baofengtech.com/download page and grubbed around there awhile and figured out that I was to download CHIRP, which I alread had. Did that anyway. Nothing. Instructions ask and answer the question "My computer did not automatically install

Hello Everyone, Don't get me wrong - if you're willing to take on the task of getting the Python 3 move up and running, which you clearly are, more power to you, and kudos for taking it on. I'm just personally not interested in futzing around with a Python 2+3 codebase or switching GUI techno

CHIRP now recognizes Port. When I try to write to the radio I get the following: Failed to communicate with the radio: Radio did not ack block 1. What is the sequence for starting the download? Do I hold any buttons while powering up? -Original Message- From: chirp_users-boun...@intrep

Re: [chirp_users] Moving Chirp Daily to python3?

The "move" includes two changes, from what I understand, because Python3 no longer has the PyGTK interface? So, you cannot move from Python2 to Python3 and keep the existing GUI. I guess we could change the GUI from PyGTK to wxPython, and then change from Python2 to Python3, but that means eve

Re: [chirp_users] Can't find Com Ports on Windows 10

This sounds like cable/radio interface. Many radios (or is it just Baofeng) have issues with the connector into the radio. Press it into the radio harder and see if that helps. Joe Pizzi KI5LST On 6/4/2021 2:13 PM, Richard K Parrish wrote: > CHIRP now recognizes Port. > > When I try to write to

Re: [chirp_users] Can't find Com Ports on Windows 10

My comment was based on the presumption that Chirp could see multiple ports, and was simply defaulting to the wrong one. Joe Pizzi KI5LST On 6/4/2021 11:15 AM, Jim Unroe wrote: > On Fri, Jun 4, 2021 at 11:22 AM Joe Pizzi wrote: >> Just change where chirp is attempting to access the radio. >> >>
