NEW CHIRP SOFTWARE

[terry205]

Downloaded the new chirp software for Mac .Have a 805 set it to 816 as always the numbers read CH--001 an so on.can not add names . Can any body please help me.

[MacJack]

I use the new version on a Mac with CHIRP.  CHIRP has issues on Mac... the mouse does not line up with tip of arrow, more like the middle or body or arrow.  So my work around is select a line and then click on "Properties" or go menu Edit down to Properties.  Then from here do tab and will go to that first line, tab again goes to Name and you get 6 spaces to name it.

 

Hope that helps.

Thank you I will try that  MAC JACK

[MacJack]

You are welcome... let me know if that helped or if you found a better fix... Are you on PC or Mac.  I'm asking to see if I want to put CHIRP on my old PC with XP on it.

Thank you I will try that  MAC JACK

HEY MAC JACK I put the upload and download on radio KG-UVD1P .I Could add feq and names better than on 816 .816 would not let me add feq .If I put in feq 462. It would change it to 142 . went to KG-UVD1P and all worked well .Dont why just did .

[MacJack]

So for your KG-805G radio you picked the KG-UVD1P format and it worked for you?  I may try that after you confirm your radio works as well.

MAC  JACK I did the same thing with two 805g put in all the names and the feq changed it two or three times to critic it the way I liked it .Tried both radios they worked well no problems.  KG-UVD1P WORKED WELL.

Thought I would add that RT Systems has informed me they are currently working on programmer version for the 805G and they intend to make one available for the 905 in future. This does not help you Mac Guys, but it may be welcome news for the PC folks that read this.

Besides, everybody knows Linux is best anyways

Thank you Michael for the RT Systems info... I looked it up and will download to see if it will run on my XP OS.  I remember you and I like the cut and paste feature of CHIRP...  The Wouxun PC programing software for 905G does not do a good job of cut and paste... I want to make a scan group 7 for select channels and do not want to type every entry.  

 

My new tag line is "Many minds working for good" on this forum has been great.  I can't wait for the new release of RT Systems, first one who see it make a post on the forum.

Thanks for the offer, I will do it tomorrow but if you do let me know your findings.  I knew you were joking... that is why I said in humor as my first word.  I was not upset... remember I had a big smile going to the bank with PC customers.  In fact I like your comments as it made me feel so thankful for PC issues.

 

Hey, I have to deal with PC users and get paid well, but for my family and girls going through high school and college I did not want to be their support staff while I was out of town... Got them a Mac OS and gave them the Apple 800 number and off I went on the road to make money...  I should add for them not coming to me for support helped our family relationship as I had lost all my patience with customer who paid and they did not... joking but you know what I mean.  O my wife I put on a Mac OS as well...  Best thing I did for family relationship....

[MacJack]

I agree...  So what is the difference from Mac OS and Linux.................... wait for it...................  how much you spend... $0 for Linux plus a $500 for a pc with linux installed and over $2k for a Mac...  So go learn linux and make money.

Well I gave it a try and the KG-UVD1P froze up on me...  The KG-816 is my pick... Also I do not get the warning screen about "You may break your radio"... Paraphrasing.

[MacJack]

Good move... At least with 816 I do not get the warning...  Glad GMRS is adding some support for your tough times.  Keep the faith.
