• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

This is menu function #13.

What does this function do?

I am using Chirp to program my TH-7800.

The programming menu has two choices: "Manual" or "Auto".

The default is "Manual".

I have tried changing this to "Auto" in my TH-7800. I have not noticed any effects.

Can I use this to set my Hyper channels using Chirp?

Dan, did you ever figure this out? I just picked up a TH-7800 for my first mobile.

Did you have any issues programming it with Chirp? I haven't beem able to get my Toughbook to talk to the radio yet.

If the TH-7800 is the same from an operational standpoint as my TH-9800, then here is what HyperChannel does: There are six "memory banks"... one assigned to each of the six front panel buttons A, B, C, D, E, and F. The manual for the radio explains that you can copy everything from one of these channel banks .... all frequencies, tones, etc. .... into any of the other banks, and then recall it with the simple push of the letter button. The intent is to permit the user of the radio to quickly change the entire profile of the radio setup. It's a quick way to get all of your settings into another bank of memories, then go into CHIRP and modify whatever you like. I couldn't figure out how to make use of HyperChannel in CHIRP, or whether it is supported. But if you follow the instructions in the TH-7800 manual and copy from one letter button to another, then read into CHIRP, make your changes, and write it back to the radio.... it's all there.
