[chirp_devel] help needed
by Tom Masterson 11 May '16

11 May '16

I am working with several radios some of which I expect not to work so no problem. However if I hook up a Baofeng UV-6 and ask chirp to do a download via ttyUSB0 under Ubuntu 14.04 I get "Radio did not respond" error. Nothing else shows in the log even if I use debug level and verbose settings. Radio connected with it's proper cable and volume on full (though I have tested it at various volume settings). I get the expected errors if the cable is not plugged into the computer so I assume it is reading the port correctly. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong? Thanks Tom

[chirp_devel] TYT TH-7800
by Nathan Crapo 10 May '16

10 May '16

Is anyone working on TH7800 support? I just got one and may take a crack at it if it's not already in progress. Looked at the TH9800.py chirp driver for a start. Guessing it has a lot of similarities to the 7800. I used the 9800 driver a template, changed a few obvious things, and tried to get a dump. Unfortunately it didn't work yet, but there are lots more things I can try. Any pointers on how to "sniff" the dump from the TYT software? I saw what looked like a dump that someone posted. Not sure if it matches what my radio is doing or not. I used something like "serial splitter" on Windows a long time ago for something similar. Not really a Windows guy, but can go there if I need to. The TYT software is Windows only. Regards, Nathan

Completes #1779 The orignal patch to add this feature missed one place the hide_unused value is read from. This caused new installs to show the Hide Unused Fields box as checked, but not actually enable the feature. This patch adds defaut=True to that last remaining line of code so that this feature is enabled on the first run of Chirp. diff -r 8539639634c2 -r 44e9390fd40d chirp/ui/memedit.py --- a/chirp/ui/memedit.py Wed May 04 19:42:49 2016 -0700 +++ b/chirp/ui/memedit.py Thu May 05 21:01:34 2016 -0700 @@ -1335,7 +1335,7 @@ self.count = 100 self.show_special = self._config.get_bool("show_special") self.show_empty = not self._config.get_bool("hide_empty") - self.hide_unused = self._config.get_bool("hide_unused") + self.hide_unused = self._config.get_bool("hide_unused", default=True) self.read_only = False self.need_refresh = False

[chirp_devel] Portmon doc for 64bit windows?
by David Ranch 05 May '16

05 May '16

Per a recent post from Pavel, there is the following document to get a binary dump of a radio image transfer at: http://chirp.danplanet.com/attachments/2257/how%20to%20portmon.doc Unfortunately, that's only available for 32bit windows... but I only have 64bit windows. Is anyone aware of a solution here? I'd like to get some dumps to see if I can add Yaesu FTM400 and FT2D support. I think the FT2D is going to be quite similar to Marco's existing FT1 but I think the FTM400 is going to be quite different. --David KI6ZHD

[chirp_devel] [PATCH] [AP510] Disable AP510 driver. In response to #3617

In response to #3617 Only a buggy, outdated firmware version is supported by Chirp. Newer firmware revisions changed the programming protocol and are incompatible.

[chirp_devel] [PATCH] [IC-T8A] Fix frequency encoding and decoding. Fixes #577
by Tom Hayward 04 May '16

04 May '16

# HG changeset patch # User Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us> # Date 1462411076 25200 # Wed May 04 18:17:56 2016 -0700 # Node ID edcad67aca5154dddce0813302eacda0b1849131 # Parent 95af553dbb2e2ddea5f6fa70a532cf6f4d2747df [IC-T8A] Fix frequency encoding and decoding. Fixes #577 The IC-T8 stores frequencies in three bcd bytes. The last nibble of these three bytes would naturally be the least significant digit in KHz, but this leaves no way to encode frequencies divisible by 2.5 KHz. To account for this, the IC-T8 deviates from its standard bcd encoding for the final nibble. Instead of the nibble representing 1 KHz, it represents 500 Hz: 0x5 is 2.5 KHz, 0xA is 5 KHz, and so on. This patch implements this encoding and decoding in Chirp. diff -r 95af553dbb2e -r edcad67aca51 chirp/drivers/ict8.py --- a/chirp/drivers/ict8.py Tue May 03 14:44:38 2016 -0700 +++ b/chirp/drivers/ict8.py Wed May 04 18:17:56 2016 -0700 @@ -19,8 +19,8 @@ mem_format = """ struct memory { - bbcd freq[4]; - bbcd offset[2]; + bbcd freq[3]; + bbcd offset[3]; u8 rtone; u8 ctone; }; @@ -48,6 +48,16 @@ TMODES = ["", "", "Tone", "TSQL"] +def _get_freq(bcd_array): + lastnibble = bcd_array[2].get_bits(0x0F) + return (int(bcd_array) - lastnibble) * 1000 + lastnibble * 500 + + +def _set_freq(bcd_array, freq): + bitwise.int_to_bcd(bcd_array, freq / 1000) + bcd_array[2].set_raw(bcd_array[2].get_bits(0xF0) + freq % 10000 / 500) + + @directory.register class ICT8ARadio(icf.IcomCloneModeRadio): """Icom IC-T8A""" @@ -99,8 +109,8 @@ mem.empty = True return mem - mem.freq = int(_mem.freq) * 10 - mem.offset = int(_mem.offset) * 1000 + mem.freq = _get_freq(_mem.freq) + mem.offset = _get_freq(_mem.offset) mem.rtone = chirp_common.TONES[_mem.rtone - 1] mem.ctone = chirp_common.TONES[_mem.ctone - 1] mem.duplex = DUPLEX[_flg.duplex] @@ -123,8 +133,8 @@ _mem.set_raw("\x00" * 8) _flg.set_raw("\x00") - _mem.freq = mem.freq / 10 - _mem.offset = mem.offset / 1000 + _set_freq(_mem.freq, mem.freq) + _set_freq(_mem.offset, mem.offset) _mem.rtone = chirp_common.TONES.index(mem.rtone) + 1 _mem.ctone = chirp_common.TONES.index(mem.ctone) + 1 _flg.duplex = DUPLEX.index(mem.duplex)
