This site below provides detail and a solution to the fake Prolific chip problem that works on Windows 10. On the Pi - no problem but you must run the most recent version of chirp.įound solution also for Windows 10 and Baofeng And the key to using it is to find a compatible device driver. My four year old cable with has a Prolific-like chip in it. The key to Chirp is the USB programming cable. While this is kind of slick, but it sucks that I can’t just run chirp on the Mac. The Chirp application loads on all systems but the only system”it just works” on, is the Pi.īelow – connect to the pi by ssh from windows or the mac, and run Chirp on the Pi by typing chirpw on the command line of the pi : chirpw fires up as an X client on the pi to display in its own Xwindow server on the mac. I have systems with Windows 7, Windows 10, Mac OSX El Capitan, and also a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspian. Summary- device drivers for the USB to serial ports can be the problem with getting Chirp to work with the Baofeng, FT857, and FT9700 radios from various platforms.īaofeng, Chirp: raspberry pi, Windows 10 but not macbook.Īfter changes in the local repeater PLL tones, upgrades to Windows 10, and the demise of the Vaio XP laptop, I’ve finally had to find a new host for Chirp to allow Chirp to continue programming of my now four year old Baofeng UV-5R. 2017 July – status has changed a bit so taking this post offline for revisions
