[chirp_users] BaoFeng programming

[Craig Ryan]

I have the BaoFeng UV-5R and the BaoFeng BF-F8+ and this problem happens with both radios when I try to program them from CHIRP on my iMac.

I just downloaded the new version of CHIRP and it seems to do the frequency programming fine. But I have noticed lately with both the 0.4.0 and 0.4.1 versions, that the Power-On Message that I have programmed, does not come across to the radio. I have menu item 38 on the radio set to msg and the “Message” dialog is set in CHIRP but it does not come across.
There may be other things that do not program as well but the radio performs in the few modes that I use so I dont’ know about any other settings.

Also, with both versions, after the programming I get an error message “CHIRP quit unexpectedly” and a long list of comments. I have included a screen shot of the first page. Incidentally, clicking “Reopen” does not reopen CHIRP

After this happened several times, I re-installed the Python runtime and had the same results. Do I need to un-install the old Python runtime before installing the latest one?

Have you got any other ideas?

I’ll look forward to your response.
