#59: instructions ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: n4cz@… | Type: Task Status: new | Priority: Functionality Milestone: | Component: Import/Export Version: | Keywords: Platform: Windows | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ I just discovered CHIRP and would like to use it for re-ordering the memory locations for a 2820, 91AD, and 92AD. But I must not be using it correctly: 1. I cannot download/upload to the 2820 without changing the memory contents as shown by comparing icf files captured by the CS-2820 program. 2. I cannot read into CHIRP a csv file opened in Excel 2003 and re-saved - the save does not preserve all of the original characters. 3. I cannot see the memory contents when connecting to the 91AD. Exactly what procedure should I be using to do these? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac/ticket/59> CHIRP <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac> CHIRP Development

Sometimes I can edit an existing and it will be OK, but sometimes I get the same error. Will track further if you need it Might as well put me down for the VX-7 testing in addition to the ID-880H.

[chirp_users] [CHIRP] #70: Would like to have bank field populated in csv export

#70: Would like to have bank field populated in csv export ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: W1GRI@… | Type: Feature Status: new | Priority: Functionality Milestone: | Component: Memory Editor Version: | Keywords: Platform: Windows | ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Playing with CHIRP again - last summer the IC-92Ad stuff didn't seem to work, but I'm trying again. ID-880 seems to work. I'm really happy to see that you handle bank & bank index in chirp. Organizing banks is a major pain for me. I was really excited to see the values shown in the chirp screen. But, no joy when I export to a csv file. Seems that the bank values are always empty. I would really love to see the bank id displayed (any form, letter or an index number would be great). I have written some programs in visual foxpro that allow me to make groups pretty easily, but the only way to get them into the radio is to import from a csv file via the Icom software. (With the 92ad this means selecting each bank and doing an import of a csv for that bank) Is there any way you can populate the bank field in the csv file AND, most importantly, allow it to be imported back after changes. Then I could build a customized csv file for each situation and load the whole radio in one step. Thanks for considering this request. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac/ticket/70> CHIRP <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac> CHIRP Development

#61: software does not work with vx-8 after upgrade --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: havmedic26@… | Type: Bug Status: new | Priority: Functionality Milestone: | Component: Import/Export Version: | Keywords: Platform: Windows | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Hi! I am writing to tell you that I am having problems with the vx-8 software, and to ask if you have a solution that could help me. I originally had a us version vx-8. It worked fine with your software. your software The vx-8 was then modded. It still worked great with your software. Then I sent it out to yesea to be up graded. When i got it back it did not work with your software. I re-modded it with still no luck. I can not even read the radio. The Message I get it the radio identifier expected was X'4148303239' but the identifier actually recieved was X'4148323944' -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac/ticket/61> CHIRP <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac> CHIRP Development

[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] #75: Import poblem between 880H and VX-7R

#75: Import poblem between 880H and VX-7R -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: KN0N@… | Type: Bug Status: new | Priority: Functionality Milestone: | Component: Import/Export Version: | Keywords: Platform: Linux | -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- 0.1.11.b4 is working very well. I have been running edits and transfers with little issue. I am puzzled why, when editing my 880 image and importing from the VX7 image, some of the 880 memory lines are grayed out. They should be valid and importable. Going the other direction (from 880 file to VX7) Everything looks good, and the D-STAR stuff is the only thing that is (properly)gray. I am attaching my 880 and VX-7 images. Thanks Dan! -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac/ticket/75> CHIRP <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac> CHIRP Development

[chirp_users] [CHIRP] #76: Populate blank fields during CSV import

#76: Populate blank fields during CSV import ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: N7SS | Type: Feature Status: new | Priority: Stability Milestone: | Component: Import/Export Version: | Keywords: Platform: Windows | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ I have a master spreadsheet I use as a template. I prefer to leave unused fields blank because it's easier to spot errors. This complicates bringing CSV data into Chirp because it allows only some fields to be blank (name, tone mode, duplex, skip, bank, urcall, rtptcall, rpt2call, digital code). Other fields like Tone, ToneSQL, DTCS Code, DTCS Pol, Offset, Tune Step and Bank Index are not always used and could be defaulted to some value if not specified. That would make imports a bit easier.
