#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

[chirp_users] [CHIRP] #81: Linux RPM may be missing support files

#81: Linux RPM may be missing support files --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: n0so@… | Type: Bug Status: new | Priority: Functionality Milestone: | Component: Import/Export Version: | Keywords: Platform: Linux | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- While attempting to load a previously saved .chirp file for my IC-92AD, the error message "Schema missing" was displayed and the file failed to load. This occurred when running version 0.1.11b4 installed from the yum repository on a Fedora FC14 Linux system. Running from the chirp source directory, the error did not occur and the file was able to be edited, saved and uploaded to the radio. The rpm file in the yum repository is apparently not able to access some of the necessary support files, or the files are missing. As a work around: run chirp from source until another RPM can be uploaded to the yum repository. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac/ticket/81> CHIRP <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac> CHIRP Development

[chirp_users] more help with Mac OS
by Debbie Fligor 11 Feb '11

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

Hi all, I just posted version 0.1.11b5 with the following changes: - Add Icom IC-2720H support - Add Kenwood TM-D710 support - Add Yaesu FT-8800R support - Add Yaesu FT-8900R support - Add Yaesu VX5 support - Add Alinco DR135/235/435 support - Add Jetstream JT220M support - Add power level support (for radios capable of this) - Add a configuration store to remember certain settings - Add support for power levels on VX7 - Add support for power levels on IC2200 - Add support for power levels on VX3 (Rick) - Add command-line slash image manipulation tool (Vernon) - Make CSV import use the header row to determine what order the columns are in and tolerate missing columns - Show an initial warning/info dialog about "live mode radios" - Show actual progress during import/export preparation phase - Fix checksum calculation on VX8 - Fix long-standing erroneous DCS code (Rick) - Fix memory name fetching on Kenwood F6A/D7/D700 - Fix deleting empty locations on Kenwood live radios - Fix caching of empty locations on Kenwood live radios This beta brings a lot of new radio drivers, so please help out with testing and verifying this new functionality if you can. The list of "soon to be supported" radios on the website is longer than the "already supported" one, so we need to make an official drop pretty soon. Please hammer this and file your bugs soon! Thanks to Rick and Vernon for code contributions, Scott, Daron, and Marko for lending radios to be supported, and of course the many people filing bugs and reporting issues! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS
