[chirp_users] Cross Radio Cloning Issues/Questions
by Al Waschka 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Hello to the Group and thanks for this neat software which I found referenced on the Baofeng UV3R Yahoo Group. I bought the radio today at a hamfest and was trying to come up with a way to utilize the frequency lists I have for a Wouxun KGUVD1P when I discovered Chirp. So I downloaded the latest stable version and used it to download my Wouxun into a radio-specific image file. One thing I noticed was that even though I have receive tone set to OFF in the Wouxun, the download in Chirp shows code 23. Is that the same as OFF? Next, since the Baofeng does not support names, I was wanting to make the Wouxun list into a series of shorter lists for the Baofeng by deleting entries before uploading to the Baofeng. I opened the Baofeng and imported the Wouxun list, but when I highlighted multiple lines with click, shift-click and deleted them the delete did not go as it should. It looked like Chirp only deleted the odd entries and left the even ones highlighted. After pressing delete again on the remaining highlighted entries, some of the "deleted" entries seemed to come back. Is multiple line delete not supported, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Al K5TAN

[chirp_users] Chirp 0.1.12 - difficulty with IC-V82
by simon＠mungewell.org 07 Oct '11

Hi all, I haven't played for a bit, so I tried 0.1.12 on my ICOM and it's not syncing with the radio :-( -- --- Exception Dialog: Out of sync with radio --- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/simon/chirp-0.1.12/chirpui/clone.py", line 167, in run cs.radio_class = detect.DETECT_FUNCTIONS[vendor](cs.port) File "/home/simon/chirp-0.1.12/chirp/detect.py", line 73, in detect_icom_radio result = _detect_icom_radio(s) File "/home/simon/chirp-0.1.12/chirp/detect.py", line 41, in _detect_icom_radio md = icf.get_model_data(s) File "/home/simon/chirp-0.1.12/chirp/icf.py", line 129, in get_model_data frames = stream.get_frames() File "/home/simon/chirp-0.1.12/chirp/icf.py", line 123, in get_frames return self._process_frames() File "/home/simon/chirp-0.1.12/chirp/icf.py", line 80, in _process_frames raise errors.InvalidDataError("Out of sync with radio") InvalidDataError: Out of sync with radio ---------------------------- -- I believe the cable/serial port is good as I can use tk500 on my scanner. I am starting chirpw without entering clone mode on the radio. Any suggestions? Is there a way to disable auto-detection? Simon

[chirp_users] Chirp and Ubuntu 10.04

I loaded Chirp last night, but it doesn't start. I click the link in Applications, the disk churns for a few seconds, but nothing happens. I checked the System Monitor, but there's no reference to Chirp. Any ideas on what to check? -- Randy (KE5EOT) ARRL, QCWA, ARES, RACES http://ke5eot.webs.com
