[BVARC] Vice President's Update May 2024

2024-05-02 Thread Kori Rahman via BVARC
Hello BVARC!

Spring is halfway over, and summer is fast approaching. This May the club
will mostly be preparing for our big on air events in June (Museum Ships
and ARRL Field Day). There's lots of preparation to be done for June so if
you have time to volunteer for either of these events or to participate as
an operator, please see the details below and mark your calendars!

*Museum Ships weekend* will be the topic for our next club meeting on
Thursday May 9th. Mark Janzer (K5MGJ) is the coordinator for the event and
if you're interested in helping out he's your guy! Send him an email at
k5...@yahoo.com. The event takes place at *Seawolf Park in Galveston on
Saturday June 1st to Sunday June 2nd* (with some setup happening in the
days before).

*ARRL Field Day* is another major event coming up in June both for the
hobby and for BVARC. This year BVARC's Field Day event will be at Duhacsek
Park in Sugar Land. The event spans *Saturday June 22nd to Sunday June 23rd*
(with set up on the Friday before). Richard Bonica (KG5YCU) is coordinating
this year's BVARC Field Day event and if you would like to help make the
event a success by volunteering or operating, please email Richard at
kg5...@gmail.com. Keep an ear out for more information as the final details
of the event get published.

Re: [BVARC] Baofeng UV82, CHIRP, import seems to work, but all channels show same freq after import

2024-05-02 Thread Rick Wannall via BVARC
But when you are in channel mode..

Wait. Mayb e I get it.

When I scroll through the channels it doesn't set to each channel.  I have to 
select.

Good grief.  That's obviously somewhere in the manual I should have reviewed 
"in case I forgot something.".

BLUSH!

Thank you.

There is an A and B in the display, as you scroll through one, it won't change 
the other.  I'm guessing you have A set to display NAME and B set to display 
FREQUENCY, radio is set to A so it changes channels as you scroll up or down, B 
won't change until you set it to be the active display

first frequency shown in the csv file, 145.150, which is for channel 5. (Only 
103 of a possible 127 channels are present in the img file.)



And here is something that, to me, is even weirder. When I first completed the 
upload and disconnected, the frequency shown on all channels was 444.550, also 
a frequency in the img file, but not the last one. It is third from last. After 
I scrolled through and saw that, I turned off the 82 and set it aside. When I 
came back to it later and turned it on, the frequency shown for all channels 
had changed to 145.15.



Huh??



I am digging around in about a dozen sites “out there” and although I find a 
few CHIRP problems mentioned here and there, and a few Baofeng problems, 
nothing remotely resembles this. I’ve looked at various pages in these sites:



https://forums.radioreference.com

https://www.reddit.com

https://baofengacademy.com

https://chirpmyradio.com

 https://baofengtech.com





I checked for any available firmware updates.



I got excited when I found that Baofeng had a software download for programming 
the 82 but after the install, when I open the software and try to “read from 
radio”, all I get are connection failures. Even though I set for Port 4 (what 
CHIRP used) and it accepted that. Humph.



At this point, I am wide open for any pointer to a website, or to a forum, or 
any suggestion on how to proceed. I can certainly program as many channels as I 
need to manually, and in truth there’s only three or four that I routinely 
monitor around Houston, so that’s easy. But I surely would love to know how to 
get that frequency list into that radio.



Any comment gratefully received.

I have a Baofeng UV82. I connect it to my laptop with a Baofeng USBA-Kenwood 
2-pin cable. The img file I exported to CSV starts like this:

Location,Name,Frequency,Duplex,Offset,Tone,rToneFreq,cToneFreq,DtcsCode,DtcsPolarity,Mode,TStep,Skip,Comment,URCALL,RPT1CALL,RPT2CALL
5,NB5F,145.15,-,-,0.60,Tone,123.0,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,
7,W5BSA,145.19,-,0.60,Tone,123.0,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,
8,KD5HKQ,145.25,-,0.60,Tone,156.7,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,
9,W5PAS,145.27,-,0.60,Tone,123.0,88.5,023,NN,FM,5.00,,

When I get into CHIRP, connect, open that img file, and upload to radio, it 
completes with no error report. However, when I scroll through the channels 
after disconnecting, I see the correct name for each channel, but only a single 
frequency is shown for all 100+ channels. At the moment it happens to be the 
first frequency shown in the csv file, 145.150, which is for channel 5. (Only 
103 of a possible 127 channels are present in the img file.)

And here is something that, to me, is even weirder. When I first completed the 
upload and disconnected, the frequency shown on all channels was 444.550, also 
a frequency in the img file, but not the last one. It is third from last. After 
I scrolled through and saw that, I turned off the 82 and set it aside. When I 
came back to it later and turned it on, the frequency shown for all channels 
had changed to 145.15.

Huh??

I am digging around in about a dozen sites “out there” and although I find a 
few CHIRP problems mentioned here and there, and a few Baofeng problems, 
nothing remotely resembles this. I’ve looked at various pages in these sites:

https://forums.radioreference.com
https://www.reddit.com
https://baofengacademy.com
https://chirpmyradio.com
 https://baofengtech.com


I checked for any available firmware updates.

I got excited when I found that Baofeng had a software download for programming 
the 82 but after the install, when I open the software and try to “read from 
radio”, all I get are connection failures. Even though I set for Port 4 (what 
CHIRP used) and it accepted that. Humph.

At this point, I am wide open for any pointer to a website, or to a forum, or 
any suggestion on how to proceed. I can certainly program as many channels as I 
need to manually, and in truth there’s only three or four that I routinely 
monitor around Houston, so that’s easy. But I surely would love to know how to 
get that frequency list into that radio.

Any comment gratefully received.

Thanks.
