[chirp_users] more help with Mac OS

I'm sure that you're busy with d-rats and getting ready for Dayton, but I finally got back to working on getting Chirp working now that I have a need to move data from an ic-92 to an ic-91 :-) I snagged the source to 0.1.9 final and tried it both with my fink install and my darwin ports install. neither works, but they do both fail with the exact same error when I pick "Radio -> connect to an ic9x": a.show() Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/fligor/bin/chirp-0.1.9/chirpui/mainapp.py", line 430, in mh self.do_open9x(ic9x.IC9xRadioA) File "/Users/fligor/bin/chirp-0.1.9/chirpui/mainapp.py", line 123, in do_open9x rtype="ic9x") File "/Users/fligor/bin/chirp-0.1.9/chirpui/clone.py", line 70, in __init__ self.port = miscwidgets.make_choice(ports, True, ports[0]) IndexError: list index out of range I never get the dialog box that lets you choose your radio settings. I tried A B and B B, neither worked, and I did make sure the radio's main was on the "B" side. I even get the same message with the Apple's built in python using export PYTHONPATH=/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages which worked for another user. It's good that they all fail the same way, it's annoying that they all fail :-) You'd previously thought you knew what this was and had planned on fixing it, I just got side tracked and never checked. Something about not knowing about a serial port and getting confused. as a work around, is there a config file I can stash somewhere that fills it in about the serial port to get me going? I couldn't find anything on the config file format at the wiki so that I could just make my own. Let me know if you also want to see this on trac as well. thanks, -debbie, N9DN

[chirp_users] CHIRP 0.1.10b4
by Dan Smith 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Hi all, I just posted CHIRP 0.1.10b4 with the following changes: - Make import avoid merging callsign lists if the destination radio doesn't require the use of said lists - Add mass location modification buttons to import dialog - Make the hi/lo limit adjustments hit the 'go' button when user presses enter - When changing the lo limit to a value above the current, automatically increase the hi limit by 25 - Add a "recent" submenu to the Radio menu, which makes it quicker and easier to access recent radios - Fix issue when importing from an ID-800 image file containing "*NOTUSE*" repeater calls Hopefully the usability improvements in this version will be of interest to some people. They came from me doing a lot of radio programming this weekend and getting frustrated with things :) The "mass modification" buttons make it easy to increment/decrement the new location of every imported memory (i.e. conversion to/from radios that start at 1 instead of 0) as well as reverse or auto-number the new imports. The hi/lo limit change makes it much quicker for me to jump to a range of memory locations with just the keyboard. Finally, the recent menu really speeds the process of downloading an image, making a tweak, and then uploading it right back to the radio on the same serial port. -- Dan Smith dsmith#danplanet.com, s/#/@/ www.danplanet.com KK7DS

#41: 800H -> 91AD -- unable to load schema -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: kevin@… | Type: Task Status: new | Priority: Functionality Milestone: 0.1.9 | Component: Import/Export Version: 0.1.9 | Keywords: Platform: Windows | -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Hi Dan, I am trying to convert an 800H file for a 91AD, and I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. I have successfully converted the .icf file, successfully connected to Band A and Band B (separately) but I can't seem to upload the file to either band, or I'm totally doing it wrong. When I am in the live file for the 91AD, I to import the .img file to the radio but then I get a popup message saying "unable to load schema." What am I doing wrong?

Hey All, I finally got the GPS antenna outside and on the roof from the basement. Is there a work around for having the GPS active and still run D-Rats? I'd like to have my GPS data sent on Simplex, but use D-Rats also.. Thanks.. Jeff-N8NOE Jeffrey M.
