What operating system are you using?
If Windows, there is a windows installer on the Chirp site.

All,
Have been programming multiple (15+/-) UV-5's, for our group, for
several years. Never have had to mess with the volume. Versions of hardware
at the beginning was the worst. Cables and drivers, were a pain for a while
to, but not the radio controls.

The digital data is proviced on connections that have nothing to do
with the connections for the analog speaker audio or the analog
microphone audio. In addition to the audio wires (that aren't included
in the programming cable since they are not necessary to have for
programming) and the data wires, there is even a connection that
provides DC voltage (5V or 3.3V depending on the radio) to power
external devices.

Data uses the same connector. It doesn't go through the radio's audio chain.
Audio is disabled when in program mode.

exactly
The data is serial data, which is not in the audio spectrum. There's no
"modem" on either end of the cable. It's straight RS-232C data as might
come out of the back of an older PC. Volume has nothing to do with it, as
it's either "on" or "off."

Hi everyone,
You guys were incredibly helpful recently in getting me started. I've now
successfully uploaded marine VHF, 2m and 70cm simplex channels to my Baofeng
UV-5R III, thanks again.
I'm now having a few problems in adding repeaters and I hope you can similarly
help.
I have a CHIRP file for relevant UK repeaters. I'm guessing that they are from
an older version of CHIRP as some of the column headings are different.
I'm manually entering the info. All ok except these. The (old) file of
repeaters shows these columns: Tone. rToneFreq. cToneFreq. DtcsCode.
DtcsPolarity. Tstep
I'm trying to enter:-
Tone, always Tone
rToneFreq, either 110.9, 82.5 or 103.5.
cToneFreq, always 88.5
DtcsCode, always 23
DtcsPolarity, always NN
My version of CHIRP isn't quite the same. Here are my issues.
In CHIRP, I populate Tone Mode to Tone. My next 2 columns are Tone and Tone
Sql. I seem only able to enter one of these columns as when I enter the second
it automatically changes the previous Tone Mode to another preset. Simialrly,
the Tone Mode autochanges when I try to populate any of the DTCS Code, DTC Rx
Code and Cross Mode.
Hopefully, I've explained the issue clearly. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
David

Hi David,
It appears that you may be looking at a CSV file. If it is a valid
CHIRP CSV file you should be able to "Import" it into a tab that is
compatible with your radio. An alternative would be to import file
into a "New" generic tab which would allow you to copy and paste the
rows into a tab that is compatible with your radio. Whichever is the
most convenient for you.
But to answer your question, the Tone column in your file is
equivalent to the Tone Mode column of the CHIRP spreadsheet style
memory editor. When Tone Mode is set to "Tone", only the Tone field is
used in the editor. The other fields (ToneSq, DTCS Code, DTCS Rx Code,
DTCS Pol and Cross Mode) are blank (when "Hide Unused Fields" is
enabled) and are currently unused/ignored by CHIRP. When you try to
put something on one of the "blank"(unused/ignored) fields, the CHIRP
"Smart Tone Modes" thinks you've changed your mind about and tries to
"guess" the correct Tone Mode based on the fields that you've just
entered a value into.
So back to your file. With the Tone column set to Tone, then only the
rToneFreq (Tone) is going to be used by CHIRP in the editor. The
cToneFreq (ToneSql), DtcsCode (DTCS Code) and DtcsPolarity (DTCS Pol)
fields will be ignored by CHIRP and should be ignored by you.
So once you set Tone Mode to Tone and entered the CTCSS frequency into
the Tone field, stop. The remaining fields pertaining to selective
squelch should remain blank.
You might take a look at the column guides linked to here for more information:

Many thanks, Jim,
That was a clear and fully comprehensive response, much appreciated.
I opened a new file and imported the .CSV file(s) successfully. This confirmed
which columns to populate on my saved radio file. A minor edit was all that
was required. Also, it uploaded to radio successfully.
Kind regards
David

Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Hi,
Has anyone had an issue with Baofeng 888 items on the settings tab (not
memories) not being saved on upload?
I am primarily trying to disable voice prompts, however after editing
the downloaded image and uploading it, the next time I download it, the
setting has reverted (or was never saved).
Editing the hex in the browser produces the same result. Does anyone
know the significance of the red highlighted values?
Chirp version is CHIRP daily-20190412 and I see nothing in the change
log since then related to the BF888.
One thing I notice is that the progress bar on upload moves very quickly
after about half way, whereas the download is at a steady rate, which
makes me wonder if it skips part of the upload.
Cable is a marked up as Baofeng and is regularly used with the UV5R
without problems.
OS is Mageia Linux using our official package which is maintained by me.
Any ideas welcome.
Cheers,
Barry

Just bought a Yaesu ft-2dr. I thought I purchased a programming cable.
I grabbed a cloning cable instead.
Which cable is the correct to use?
Main programming computer is a debian (linux) laptop.
