If you want to edit this file then go to #2 otherwise go to Upload to File Radio IMG file wherever you put it on your computer (downloaded from email, thumbdrive, etc.) and click on it to open it in CHIRP. Now we can do a couple of things: we can (1) upload an existing CHIRP file that you may have gotten from a friend or your local Ham Club, or (2) edit the existing programmed channels. The file in CHIRP looks like a spreadsheet but it's not. If it's never been programmed it might be only one line. When it's done you will see the Chirp screen fill with any prior programming that is in the radio. When the transfer starts you will see this box: Ignore it and press YES unless you'd rather stop here and discontinue using CHIRP:Īnother box will popup and give you instructions pertinent to your Radio - follow them and then click OK. Keep trying until you get the right one.Īt some point the following box will appear.
When we do it may say it can't find the Com POrt and you will have to go back and pick another Port from the list. Click on the down arrow then pick one of the ports. The choice of Ports can be a little harder. You will have to change it to match your radio Vendor (Yaesu, etc.) and Model (7900, etc.). It's doubtful the box will contain the above text.

#CHIRP PROGRAMMING CABLE INSTALL#
Click on it and following the instructions to install it on your computer. You can get the download here: Chirp.įor Windows, the following screen will come up and you will pick the green highlighted file. Start out by downloading and installing Chirp software.
Be sure to get the right one for your radio. I would suggest the ones in the $20-ish range.
Many of them can be found at Amazon's Programming Cables. You can find a Guide here on those cables. You will need a special cable to connect your computer to your radio.
