RadioReference - "Server raised fault:invalid county id"
Added by McArthur Square almost 4 years ago.
Updated over 3 years ago.
Model affected:
RadioReference
I read the instructions above:
Description
Due to that variants of the UV-5R i am not sure which version to select for my particular model. The main issue is that I am unable to access information from my premium account on Radio Reference. I live in the US and have use several zip codes in my area. The response is always "Server raised fault:invalid county id". My login information is correct for the site. i have double checked that. The latest build is installed. Not sure what else to do.
- Status changed from New to Feedback
For a UV-5R like model with 3 power levels you should choose...
Vendor: Baofeng
Model: BF-F8HP

- Priority changed from High to Normal
- Model affected changed from (All models) to Baofeng UV-5R MK4
Did Jim's response help? Thanks!
Once I change the model as instructed I had the same issue. I decided to try a zip code that is not in my county. I was able to pull data from Birmingham. It uploaded to my radio just fine.
My next question would be why does no zip code on Dekalb County AL work when Jefferson County AL does?
I would also like to add that Radio Reference has listings of frequencies for Dekalb County AL

I just commented on which was the correct Vendor/Model selection to use. The Vendor/Model selection has nothing to do with Radio Reference support. The use of the Radio Reference query requires a paid account. I don't have one so I can't offer any support with that.
However for those with a paid account, you can export the Radio Reference data to a CSV file. It may be easy to modify it into a CHIRP compatible CSV file and import it that way.

I have thought of manually typing in the information from RR into an empty form on Chirp. Also though of trying to convert the csv. My problem is if I try converting I am not sure what a Chirp compatible CSV would or what parameters to input of done manually. The two have different column titles in most cases

The simplest way to understand what a CHIRP compatible CSV file should look like is to program (or import) some working channels and then export them to a CSV file. The CSV file can then be examined in a text editor or spreadsheet program like MS Excel or LibreOffice Calc. This will show you the correct column header names and data formats.
Most channels acquired from RadioReference will be for receive only purposes. When this is the case, all you need is the Frequency field set to the receive frequency and the Duplex field set to "off".

Thank you. That did the trick. Just required a bit of patience and manual data entry
