CHIRP

I woul be interested in this also. I would be willing to be a tester.

The daily build of Chirp worked fine for me on windows 8, but no longer works with my Windows 10 upgrade. Chirp will run, load a radio specific configuration file, but I cannot edit the file. I hope this is fixed soon. I will try to run the daily build on my laptop which is also upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

Interesting, the latest daily build of Chirp, 21050702, runs on my laptop, which was upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

More info on my desktop which was upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, Chirp runs, but then either runs SLOWLY or hangs....wondering if there is interference from another program. Doing more testing.

Update: Was just able to edit data files and update my Yaesu FT-897D, FT-857D and Baofeng 82 radios using both my Win7 to Win10 laptop and my Win8.1 to Win10 desktop. Not sure what was different before with the desktop and initial issues.

In summary, both my Win-10 computers are now working well with Chirp.

I got a problem maybe you gents can help me out. back when I had win7 chirp had crashed on me and since then haven't been able to get it open again, even with me doing a total uninstall and updated to win10 then reinstalled latest version of chirp I cant open the program and I get no errors. I click on it and simply nothing. get back to me please. thanks

Matt,
Have you tried deleting the "chirp.config" file? I don't believe that it gets removed when CHIRP is uninstalled. So if it was corrupt in some way and causing a problem before, it would still be there causing a problem now. The "chirp.config" file is located in the same folder as the "debug.log" file so you can use the same instructions on the website for finding the debug.log file.

JIM! Thank You! that was the problem i just got chirp running and yes you was right, much appreciated thanks for the link as well. i got a question you may be able to help me on. i'm a volunteer fire fighter and our county made the switch from analog to digital signal is it possible to program the UV82 to get the digital signals? i had a bff8+ programmed to the signal but one day it all stopped. i got clearance to use my radio from my chief since the county bought only a handful of portable radios they got passed out to 4 other departments, my dept received only 3.. hence i'm making one of my uv82 strictly for fire operations

Matt,

I'm glad you have CHIRP working under Windows 10 now.

CHIRP related general questions should be asked in the "CHIRP mailing list":http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users.

Your questions aren't really CHIRP related so they should be asked in another forum. Yahoo! and Facebook both have Baofeng related groups where your questions could be asked.
