YOUTUBE CHIRP PROGRAMMING INSTALL
Now, let’s install CHIRP on Ubuntu from the PPA (Personal Package Archive) You will then need to log out and back in for it to take effect. On most Linux distros this is accomplished with:

This issue is often indicated by an “access denied” error when accessing serial port. Note that you may need to adjust permissions on the /dev/tty(something) device, or add your users who want to use Chirp to the “dialout” group in order to let non-privileged users access the serial device. Note regarding serial port permissions on Linux from CHIRP website (I didn’t have to perform this step, but it might be of help?), But the following steps should be fairly identical for all versions across MacOS and Windows installations. I’m using Ubuntu, so this guide will only cover the Linux version. You can go to the CHIRP website download page, which has guidance for Windows, MacOS and Linux users.
YOUTUBE CHIRP PROGRAMMING MANUALS
I highly recommend you read the official manuals from Yaesu on FT-4X (both the operational manual and the advanced manual), linked in the resources at the end of this post, you will be surprised by the helpful tips included! In addition, it has 3 power settings “High” is 5W, “Mid” is 2.5W and “Low” is 0.5W.

The FT-4X is a 5W VHF/UHF FM Portable Transceiver.
YOUTUBE CHIRP PROGRAMMING HOW TO
This post will explain how to progam a list of repeaters using CHIRP software into a Yaesu FT-4XE handheld radio, which is the European version of FT-4X, however, the procedure should be identical for FT-4XR (USA/Asian version) AFAIK. I suggest you read the article by QRPblog in the references below for an in-depth review of FT-4X (also some comparison against Baofeng UV-5Rs). Yaesu FT-4X is a very interesting handheld radio that is not very expensive (~ £65) and I believe is a good starting point compared to my previous Baofeng UV-5R Plus radio. My main interest was to program the GMRS channels into the radio to be used in channel mode, and in CHIRP this is easy to do by selecting Radio -> Import from stock config -> US FRS and GMRS Channels and then uploading to the radio.This post was cloned to my other website dedicated to amateur radio (ham radio) M0TTZ.UK Prologue Then select Program -> Read from radio and you should be able to extract data from your device. Do not worry – there is English interface available, to switch to it, click on the second-last menu and select English from the drop-down. There were also files named WP970I_CPS, WP970Setup I am not sure in which ways they are different from the one I downloaded.Īfter installation, it launches with all-Chinese interface, which on my Windows installation resulted in question marks for all menu names and menu items. I downloaded the file named “WP970I Setup”, mainly because it specified Chinese/English as language. This software can be downloaded from Baofeng: go to and select Download -> Programming Software. CHIRPĬHIRP is easy: once you’ve figured out the COM port where the radio is listening, select UV-82WP as the radio model, and it should work.

It took me some time to figure it out, and here is a summary. There are two ways to connect to the radio. I bought a couple of Baofeng UV-9R radios with a computer communication cable, but I could not find instructions on how to program the radios from a computer.
