[chirp_users] chirp-0.1.9b12.tar.gz on CentOS 5.3

09 May '09

Still using CentOS 5.3 on Main box here and fedora 10 on laptop (as the kernel supports wireless rf broadband usb cdma cmotech modems now for internet). Had to build chirp-0.1.9b12.tar.gz, as with Fedora 10 a few days ago, as the ¨reposted¨beta tar doesn't seem to have made any difference. Create tools folder in /tmp/chirp-0.1.9b12/chirp-0.1.9b12 (as doesn't exist after extract) Download 3 raw (left menu link) files [up] <http://www.d-rats.com/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/chirp.hg/file/c89c1ab4052b/> drwxr-xr-x file Makefile <http://www.d-rats.com/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/chirp.hg/file/c89c1ab4052b/tools/Make…> 843 -rw-r--r-- file icomsio.sh <http://www.d-rats.com/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/chirp.hg/file/c89c1ab4052b/tools/icom…> 1827 -rwxr-xr-x file serialsniff.c <http://www.d-rats.com/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/chirp.hg/file/c89c1ab4052b/tools/seri…> 9530 -rw-r--r-- into this folder from; http://www.d-rats.com/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/chirp.hg/file/c89c1ab4052b/tools into /tmp/chirp-0.1.9b12/chirp-0.1.9b12/tools Download rpttool (raw file link on left menu)) http://www.d-rats.com/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/chirp.hg/file/c89c1ab4052b/rpttool#l1 into /tmp/chirp-0.1.9b12/chirp-0.1.9b12 Build process incl the original problem; [root@localhost chirp-0.1.9b12]# python setup.py install running install running build running build_py creating build creating build/lib creating build/lib/chirp copying chirp/platform.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/ic2820.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/ic9x_ll.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/chirp_common.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/__init__.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/ic2200_ll.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/generic.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/xml_ll.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/csv.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/memmap.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/idrp.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/ic9x.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/id800_ll.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/ic2200.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/errors.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/ic2820_ll.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/icf.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/convert_icf.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/id800.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/icx8x_ll.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/old_ic9x_ll.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/icx8x.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/util.py -> build/lib/chirp copying chirp/xml.py -> build/lib/chirp running build_scripts creating build/scripts-2.4 error: file 'rpttool' does not exist [root@localhost chirp-0.1.9b12]# python setup.py install running install running build running build_py running build_scripts error: file 'rpttool' does not exist [root@localhost chirp-0.1.9b12]# python setup.py install running install running build running build_py running build_scripts copying and adjusting rpttool -> build/scripts-2.4 changing mode of build/scripts-2.4/rpttool from 644 to 755 running install_lib copying build/lib/chirp/ic9x_ll.py -> /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/chirp copying build/lib/chirp/__init__.py -> /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/chirp copying build/lib/chirp/ic9x.py -> /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/chirp byte-compiling /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/chirp/ic9x_ll.py to ic9x_ll.pyc byte-compiling /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/chirp/__init__.py to __init__.pyc byte-compiling /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/chirp/ic9x.py to ic9x.pyc running install_scripts copying build/scripts-2.4/rpttool -> /usr/bin changing mode of /usr/bin/rpttool to 755 running install_data copying tools/icomsio.sh -> /usr/sbin LOC: [] running install running build running build_py creating build/lib/chirpui copying chirpui/cloneprog.py -> build/lib/chirpui copying chirpui/inputdialog.py -> build/lib/chirpui copying chirpui/__init__.py -> build/lib/chirpui copying chirpui/dstaredit.py -> build/lib/chirpui copying chirpui/shiftdialog.py -> build/lib/chirpui copying chirpui/memedit.py -> build/lib/chirpui copying chirpui/bankedit.py -> build/lib/chirpui copying chirpui/miscwidgets.py -> build/lib/chirpui copying chirpui/mainapp.py -> build/lib/chirpui copying chirpui/common.py -> build/lib/chirpui copying chirpui/clone.py -> build/lib/chirpui copying chirpui/editorset.py -> build/lib/chirpui copying chirpui/importdialog.py -> build/lib/chirpui running build_scripts copying and adjusting chirpw -> build/scripts-2.4 changing mode of build/scripts-2.4/chirpw from 644 to 755 running install_lib copying build/lib/chirpui/mainapp.py -> /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/chirpui byte-compiling /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/chirpui/mainapp.py to mainapp.pyc running install_scripts copying build/scripts-2.4/chirpw -> /usr/bin changing mode of /usr/bin/rpttool to 755 changing mode of /usr/bin/chirpw to 755 running install_data [root@localhost chirp-0.1.9b12]# Working good on CentOS 5.3 with this procedure. vk4tux

Re: [chirp_users] 91-A with 121 - B bank is fine - A bank does not work
by David Tilson 03 May '09

03 May '09

G'day Roger, Just another thing to check... Can you confirm that when you were trying to do work with Band A in CHIRP that the radio was set to Band B and running in DV mode? As you may / may not be aware a quirk with CHIRP and using the IC-9X radios is that Band B must be selected and the mode set to DV for it to transfer information (even for Band A memories). On the 92AD if you have the radio is set to Band A and you try to "Connect to IC9X - Band A" it will indicate that it is getting 800+ memories, but nothing gets transferred. Hope this helps... Cheers, davidt, VK3UR

[chirp_users] 91-A with 121 - B bank is fine - A bank does not work
by Roger Kehr 03 May '09

03 May '09

I am sure someone has asked this question but here goes anyway. I purchased a 91-AD and have programmed it's memory banks A and B. I then purchase a 91-A with a 121 chip.. While it was possible to get my B bank into my B bank I am unable to make an excel file of my A bank to get it into my A bank on the 91-A. Is there some way around this or is there a way to print out what is in the A bank on the 91-AD and put it into my excel spread sheet and then export that into my 91-A using CHIRP? Thanks for a great program - at least my "B" bank information transferred over. 73- N3AOQ Roger

Dan, Actually the main point of my message was to point out the log_exception() bug, but thanks for the other information as well. Susan

Dan, I downloaded 0.1.9 and fired it up OK. Without connecting a radio, I selected the 'Convert ICF' function and selected an ICF file that I had downloaded from the Internet (actually "IC92AD_VK3RWN_C_V19a.icf" which David VK3UR makes available through the Australian D-Star web site - Thanks David) and tried to save it as an img file. The following was logged on the terminal log: Unknown model: 000: 30 66 00 00 00 00 00 00 0f...... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/Susan/Downloads/chirp-0.1.9/chirpui/mainapp.py", line 428, in mh self.do_converticf() File "/Users/Susan/Downloads/chirp-0.1.9/chirpui/mainapp.py", line 364, in do_converticf log_exception() NameError: global name 'log_exception' is not defined The offending lines seem to be: try: convert_icf.icf_to_image(icffile, imgfile) except Exception, e: log_exception() common.show_error("Unable to convert ICF file: %s" % e) The beginning of the ICF file is: 30660000 #Comment= #MapRev=1 #EtcData=2C48 0000100003E9000020830000E400004E657061 0010106C2020200003F4000020830000E40000 002010557A62656B69202000049F0000208300 00301000E40000536C6F76616B20200004A600 The strange thing is that I can see the 'log_exception' function ion common.py!

[chirp_users] CHIRP 0.1.9
by Dan Smith 03 May '09

03 May '09

Hi all, I just posted the official CHIRP 0.1.9 on the download page. Although the list of changes looks small, they are pretty significant: - Fixed broken browse button on clone dialog - Fixed an issue with the 2820 which causes spurious DSQL and CSQL flags on the radio - Fixed MacOS to pick up Prolific-based USB serial devices - Fixed initial sort of channel number column - Fixed tone flag parsing on ic2200 - Fixed interpretation of frequency on ic2200 when tuning step is 12.5 - Change the way callsign lists are handled to more closely mimic the radio - Re-write of the ic9x driver for better stability and maintainability - Improved UI responsiveness during long IC-9x operations - Added a multi-level queue to allow background loading of IC-9x radios without preventing UI-initiated changes - Added empty-location tracking to the ic9x cache to improve reload performance - Added UI improvements like icons and keyboard accelerators - Added ICOM D-STAR repeater frequency programming support - Added file types to Save As box to avoid confusion - Added call channel support to ic9x Thanks! -- Dan Smith dsmith#danplanet.com, s/#/@/ www.danplanet.com KK7DS

G'day, > Well, that's certainly an option. However, I think I'd > rather move towards a set of preferences that lets you > specify whether you want to see them by default or not. That > would be better, no? :) That would be better, yes... I had actually thought about a preferences option, while I was typing my original email, but I thought that I wouldn't push my luck... But now you've raised it, I'll look forward to seeing it in 0.1.10b1 and I'll raise a ticket for you :) Cheers, davidt
