Driver - Developer Mode?

Can a CHIRP driver easily tell if CHIRP is in developer mode? I'm working on a driver that will have a "sensitive" setting (one that all users probably should not have access to) and only want to expose that setting when CHIRP is in developer mode. It looks like if the developer class is imported there is a method developer.developer_mode() that may be what I'm looking for. Thx, Fred

list index out of range error
by Andreas Ott 16 Apr '25

16 Apr '25

This is on CHIRP next-20250404 on W10. I am trying to copy&paste in a single memory channel line 3 from another radio into an Alinco DR-735T file line 3. The Alinco file was created by "download from radio", the source of the copy happens to be UV-5R. It fails to populate the column values in the Alinco tab and the left channel number column is now red "!*3" with "list index out of range error". I did reduce my test to just one line of copy&paste, after the bulk load of ~100 channels failed. Most of them errored out the same way but some magically worked with no obvious indication to why it worked or not. I can provide screenshots, chirp files or CSV exports if needed. Please advise what I should try next or what other diag logs I can post here. -andreas K6OTT

CHIRP on Chrome Flex OS

Howdy, It took about 3 1/2 minutes to download the required bits into the Chrome Flex OS 'developer' environment and then get CHIRP running. I can open my Explorer QRZ-1, read the radio, open RepeaterBook, copy a line from RepeaterBook into my QRZ-1 file, and write the new repeater into the QRZ-1. Is there any sort of official authentication of CHIRP onto a particular platform? The Chromebook developer platform seems sufficient and n00b-friendly. Best regards, Dan KJ5IZK

Question about the build schedule
by Chris Mildebrandt 01 Apr '25

01 Apr '25

Hi! On the download page <https://chirpmyradio.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download> it says, "Any time we make a change to CHIRP, a build is created for it the next day". There were three commits <https://github.com/kk7ds/chirp/commits/master/> on March 29th but the latest build is from March 28th. Is there a problem with the build system, or does the build not happen after each change? Thanks! -Chris
