[chirp_devel] Wouxun KG-UV6D memory map available
by Johan Adler 29 Oct '12

29 Oct '12

I created a memory map of the Wouxun KG-UV6D, I have tried to include all possible settings. I can not promise that it is complete or correct in every detail, but I think it is a good start. It is available, as a 53 kb pdf file, at my blog: http://nyfiken.org/arkiv/310 I was not sure how to let the developer group share this, creating an issue at the site seems wrong. Please do not hesitate to let me know if there are errors or a need for more data. Johan Adler Stockholm, Sweden

[chirp_devel] Quansheng
by The Silver Fox 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

I am working on code for the Quansheng radios. I am doing the TG-UV2 first because that is the radio I have on hand. Anyone interested in my progress can contact me off forum. 73, Alan - W6ARH Mobokits <http://mobokits.stormwarning.org/> http://mobokits.stormwarning.org/ UHFSDR Full Kit <http://wb6dhw.com/For_Sale.html> http://wb6dhw.com/For_Sale.html

by Marco Filippi IZ3GME 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

This patch correct a bug that allow writing over frequency ranges with the result of bricking radio!! It's urgent to apply it in the hope no users try to change frequency ranges in this while. 73 de IZ3GME Marco

[chirp_devel] Beginner steps
by The Silver Fox 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi, I hope it is ok to ask for help before I delve into the code. I installed the requisite software on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 system and built the chirpw application. On first launch it complained about not finding chirp.png. I fixed that with a copy. However, now it launches a new window with Chirp in the menu line but it will not present any menu or respond as far as I can tell. In the background window it show registration for all of the radios it supports. This happened to me on first launch in Windows 7 but the second time I launched it gave me a pull down menu of radios. No such luck on Linux. I tried it with a live radio in the serial port and still nothing. Any advice? Thanks, Alan Hill Mobokits <http://mobokits.stormwarning.org/> http://mobokits.stormwarning.org/ UHFSDR Full Kit <http://wb6dhw.com/For_Sale.html> http://wb6dhw.com/For_Sale.html

> If you wouldn't mind some stupid startup questions I would like advice > on how to checkout code for read only under windows 7. Sure, but lets do this on the mailing list so everyone can see. I'm copying it now. You'll need mercurial, which is the source code management tool I use: http://mercurial.selenic.com/ There are some pointers to helpful documentation regarding how to use it effectively. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Developers That page also provides a pointer to the repository. The folks on this list are also good resources. > Is there any thought about supporting USB since most newer radio > interfaces seem to prefer that approach. I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Almost all of the radios speak only RS-232, which means you need a USB-to-serial adapter to interface with them. Since these devices present themselves as virtual serial ports on all major operating systems, there is no additional work for CHIRP to do in order to support them. The one exception I know of is the Kenwood TH-D72, which has a USB port on the device itself. However, just like all the rest, it presents itself as a USB-to-serial device, and thus behaves like everything else. If I've completely missed your question, feel free to clarify :) Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS
