[chirp_devel] FT-70 Driver
by Nicolas Pike 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

I now have enough of the driver working to be useful. Read / write memories, a number of the settings, and import from RepeaterBook work. Saving modes dn,vw and AMS in memory channels, do not currently work. Banks have not been tested - may now work, VFO settings not implemented (etc) I have also raised a request for C4FM to be added to CHIRP Modes. Feedback appreciated. Thanks. nicolass-Mac-mini:tests nicolas$ python run_tests.py -d Yaesu_FT-70D Yaesu FT-70D Detect * PASSED:* All tests Yaesu FT-70D Settings * PASSED:* All tests Yaesu FT-70D Clone * PASSED:* All tests Yaesu FT-70D Edges * PASSED:* All tests Yaesu FT-70D BruteForce * PASSED:* All tests Yaesu FT-70D CopyAll * PASSED:* All tests Yaesu FT-70D Banks * PASSED:* All tests ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Results: TOTAL : 7 FAILED : 0 SKIPPED: 0 PASSED : 7 CRASHED: 0 nicolass-Mac-mini:tests nicolas$

[chirp_devel] FT70 - CHIRP Modes
by Nicolas Pike 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

Hi, The FT70 driver is progressing. Each FT70 memory channel stores a "Mode" Either DN, VW, FM, AM - The exact encoding of this I am working out, but that is another issue(!) CHIRP memory column displays Mode as FM: "Wide" FM for two-way communications (i.e. 5 kHz deviation) NFM: "Narrow" FM for two-way communications (i.e. 2.5 kHz deviation) WFM: "Wide" FM for broadcast communications (i.e. ~100 kHz deviation) AM: "Narrow" AM for two-way communications (i.e. aircraft band in the US) DV: Icom's digital D-STAR mode AUTO - The others are clear but what about AUTO? and DIG - is this a catch all? ValueError: `DN' is not in valid list: ['WFM', 'FM', 'NFM', 'AM', 'NAM', 'DV', 'USB', 'LSB', 'CW', 'RTTY', 'DIG', 'PKT', 'NCW', 'NCWR', 'CWR', 'P25', 'Auto', 'RTTYR', 'FSK', 'FSKR', 'DMR'] There are no CHIRP options for DN or VW or C4FM, so how should we best "map" CHIRP memory column modes to the FT70? and ensure data imports work sensibly too. Suggestions please. Thanks!!! Regards Nicolas

[chirp_devel] New Driver not registering
by Rick DeWitt 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

I have written a driver for the Radio Shack PRO-649 scanner, but it does not register in the directory. I can force it by manually adding the 'rs649' to the __init__.py file, and then it runs perfectly. But why won't it register itself? It is in the \chirp\drivers folder on my Win7 system. Also, does anyone know how to invoke the 'show_instructions' function in the mainapp? I want to provide some configuration hints. I don't find any driver currently using this call. -- Rick DeWitt AA0RD Sequim, Washington, USA 360-681-3494

[chirp_devel] Patch to address improper treatment of unknown fields for Alinco DJ-G7 (#5275)
by Mathias Weyland 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

Hello After quite a bit of debugging I think we nailed it. At the time I was adding support for the DJ-G7 radio, I was not aware of a flag that was used to hide memory channels in the main band. The main band only supports a subset of modes and frequencies on this radio. My original code used this flag improperly, such that a channel was never hidden from the main band regardless of its settings. This does not do any harm to the radio, but such a memory channel is useless in the main band due to hardware constraints. More importantly, the original programming software by Alinco crashes when operating on a memory map pulled from a radio programmed with chirp if the flag is not used correctly. After some discussions with and advice from Emiel, I have completed a patch that adds proper support for this flag. The patch is attached. See #5275 for a more in-depth discussion of the issue. Thank you and best regards Matt

[chirp_devel] Patch for Issue #5595, new BJ-218 Driver
by Rick DeWitt 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

Attached is the first release of the proposed new Baojie BJ-218 driver with full dual-vfo settings. This should probably replace the Luiton Lt725uv, since it declares that radio as an alias of the BJ-218. Related issues: #5595 (this new driver), and #5407, #4645 requests for BJ-218 support. -- Rick DeWitt AA0RD Sequim, Washington, USA 360-681-3494

[chirp_devel] CHIRP build, TOX tests on Mac
by Nicolas Pike 17 Feb '18

17 Feb '18

Hi, I installed the standard CHIRP daily build which works fine. I have now installed Mercurial. The CHIRP repo, pip modules for TOX, lxml and serial resolved various errors, and python path issues. python chirp-0.3.0dev.py works When I try and run the box test I get the results below. it seems no CHIRP modules are found and /UNKNOWN-0.0.0.zip can't be right... also nicolass-Mac-mini:tests nicolas$ python run_tests.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "run_tests.py", line 27, in <module> from serial import Serial ImportError: cannot import name Serial What part of the setup have I missed?

[chirp_devel] Yaesu FT-70
by Nicolas Pike 14 Feb '18

14 Feb '18

We have been working on the FT-70 driver and now the basics of it going. I would really appreciate a code review/once over of this driver from an experienced CHIRP developer. Just to get on track! Then we can improve/revise as needed prior to submitting a formal request. Your thoughts are appreciated Thanks. Nicolas
