chirp

New to the Baofeng and Chirp system so be gentle with me. my problem arises from the programming side of Chirp. I have a Fire Dept Near me that uses 155.715, type, BM, and tone of 10 RAN according to Radio reference. I don't know how to get a 10 Ran tone or if that is even a thing. Is there...

I am trying to scan a sheriff's tactical channel in Richland County, MT. I've listed what I'm given below. I am using CHIRP software for handheld BTech radios. I don't understand NAC well enough apparently, because I don't know how to put this into my CHIRP software to make the 389 NAC show up...

Howdy all, First time post, wanted to get you radio gurus opinion :) Looking to replace a old aviation yassu radio I had in my bag, I used it for soloing the occasional student, but mostly for picking up clearances without powering the plane up when the FBOs didn’t have a radio I could use...

First off, I'm completely new to radios. I have a Baofeng uv-9g GMRS radio. I have tested it via NOAA to confirm its work. I want to use it to monitor my local municipality radio frequencies near me. I'm trying to program my radio through CHIRP. the freq. in question uses DPL 026 for tone...

A relative gave me a scanner and handheld and a Leixen 898. I successfully programed the handheld with repeaters nearby and their CTCSS codes using CHIRP. When I tried to program the Leixen radio, both Chirp and the radio say that the CTCSS codes are in correctly however it appears that they are...

I reactivated my account yesterday, and everything is working great as far as the site is concerned, and downloading CSVs works without issue. However, I am running into a problem using CHIRP and importing the Radio Reference data source. I get the following error after putting in my username...

There is a setting in Chirp that allows connection between Radio Reference and Chirp. I am well aware that one did not develop the other, but there has to be some idea on this issue- i found it on a radio reference forum specifically here: Issue with Chirp | Query data source -> RadioReference...

Howdy I have all these in a spreadsheet, and even though not all are active in my area, i want to program them into my radio. I cannot find an import in Chirp that allows this. Frequency FRS channel FRS power FRS bandwidth GMRS power GMRS bandwidth Notes 462.5625 MHz 1 2 W 12.5...

Mornin'! I noticed a distinct lack of native support for anything Motorola within CHIRP, which is a pity for models whose programming tools are long since No Longer Available. Recently inherited a box of SP50 radios. Some work together, others need to be reprogrammed to sync with the others...

I'm brand new and just bought a budget radio to get my feet wet. I have the Baofeng BF-F8HP with the proper FTDI Programming Cable and the latest version of CHIRP on Windows 10 Pro. I setup all of my channels via CHIRP and I drove around a bit and in and out of the home I'm only picking up NOAA...

I am traveling across the country from CA to FL next week using the southern route. I am looking for a Chirp file for my BTECH UV-5XR that will have many of the proper emergency, local & repeater channels programmed already. I understand some will overlap from one state to the next, but I was...

I have several vx-2's and one vx-3r. I can use VX-2 commander to program 15x.3175 no issues. works great. With Chirp and the VX-3R It will not let me enter that channel at all. Gives me an error about the 2.5 tuning step not supported. Why does it work on the vx2 and not the vx3??? Thanks, Rick

I am using CHIRP software to program a Yaesu FT-7800 for a friend. Can anyone give me a definition for the cToneFreq column I see in the CSV file I exported from the image I downloaded from the radio? I am thinking that rToneFreq is the receive CTSS tone frequency is cToneFreq the transmit tone...

I am trying to Import from Datasource on Chirp To program a Boafeng UV-5R, Every other county that ive tried works except Zipcodes from York County Maine. I get the error <unknown>:1:2125: not well-formed (invalid token) Ive tried on Windows and Linux and get the same error. Any help would be...

Ive purchased a GT-5TP Baofeng but i cant seem to be able to program it with chirp, has anyone managed to program it using chirp. It doesn't give me an option to upload to radio and when i select download from radio it say 'Incorrect 'Model selected' when Using UV-82HP which is what chirp...

Using chirp to program Baofeng UV-5R I am able to import from all zip codes in my area except the zip codes in one particular county. If I select ANY zip code in Tazewell County, IL I get the following error: <unknown>:1:1401: not well-formed (invalid token) This has been going on for a few...

I am looking to program my kt-8900 to the GMRS frequencies using CHIRP. Does anyone have the GMRS settings (or a link to them) including the tone and other settings that I may need?

So new to this., not sure how far I ever want to dive in,. but I am looking to program my BaoFeng radio with the following list of frequencies. These are the frequencies that come pre-loaded on offroad race radios. Could someone help to point me to how to do this? I started to 'try' and I didn't...

Attempting to use CHIRP to load/edit CSV files. I exported my radio file to a CSV for the formatting, edited it, and now trying to upload the csv to CHIRP, which reports no channels found. Ive literally opened the CSVs in a notepad editor, eyeballing, they are exactly the same, commas, input...

Very frustrated, been trying to program my Kenwood TMV71 with CHIRP, using a FTDI cable from a reputable seller called BlueMax and my new Mac Air. The computer will not download from radio. I installed multiple versions of the FTDI drivers and nothing. Even switched the cable for a new one just...
