Ran it on the first PC that was purchased by my company - IBM 8011 dual floppy if I recall correctly. We had to say it was test equipment and not a computer to get the invoice approved. Michael Solon KE8GFM > On Jun 21, 2019, at 7:15 AM, ka8...@ka8vit.com wrote: > > Lotus 1-2-3 ??? > > Whom

I believe VisiCalc and SuperCalc were contemporaries from the early '80s until the mid-'90s.  I ran my first spreadsheets on an Apple II+ and then "graduated" to one of those Compaq "portables" about the size of a suitcase.  They had no hard drives, two floppy-disk drives, and a 4" x 4" green a

That's partially correct. FRS/GMRS still requires FCC Part 95 certified radios and the UV-5R isn't. For more information on the 2017 FCC rule change see the links to the FCC, Federal Register and e-CFR documents at the top of this page: https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/FRS/GMRS_combined_

[chirp_users] UV5R "Variant" Programming Question

2019-06-21 Thread N8GLS
Bought this UV5R (UV5R7W) at the Hamvention this past May. So, aside from this HT having a receiver front end that's susceptible to harmonics from DC to Daylight (yes have played with the squelch, wish it had a harmonic elimination button.hi hi), programming with Chirp is relatively easy. However,

Hi, It's been a while since I've changed any settings in Chirp, but isn't there an auto-detect option rather than selecting a model? If so, see what it says it is. Glenn From: N8GLS Sent: Friday, June 21, 2019 12:22 PM To: chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: [chirp_users] UV5R "Varian

HN5RV01 would be the real firmware version. All radios made after about 2012 show BFB298 even though they really have other versions. Somebody will have to correct me but I think all UV-5R style 7 or 8 W three power level radios have to use BF-F8HP Chirp radio model. Chirp Daily in ?Other Se

Glen, I might be mistaken, but I believe the "auto-detect" option is limited to Kenwood radio models. Jim KC9HI On Fri, Jun 21, 2019 at 1:30 PM Glenn At Home wrote: > > Hi, > It's been a while since I've changed any settings in Chirp, but isn't there > an auto-detect option rather than selecti

Jim, I'll probably pass on requesting a fix unless I find something else of more significance. Chirp seems to otherwise work fine so will just keep using it as-is. I really appreciate the UV-5R background, at least now I'm not thinking I've gone nuts not being able to figure this "simple" rad
