#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] CHIRP 0.1.11b7
by Dan Smith 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Hi all, I just posted v0.1.11b7 with the following changes: - Add Icom IC-W32A support (Thanks to Daniel for the loan) - Add Icom IC-T70A support (Thanks to John for the loan) - Fix the CSV driver ignoring D-STAR fields. Unless anyone can find a show-stopper bug in this, I'm going to release it as the official 0.1.11, hopefully before next week. If you're an "official tester" for a specific model, please, now is the time to give your "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" on this version's ability to work with your radio. Even if you're not an official tester, feel free to run through these tips and let us know how it works for you: http://chirp.danplanet.com/content/testing-guidelines Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] RELEASE: 0.1.11
by Dan Smith 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Hi all, I just posted the official version 0.1.11 on the website. Many thanks to all the people that contributed code and loaned radios to support the effort. This release brings almost three times as many supported radios as version 0.1.10 had! The abbreviated list of changes from 0.1.10 is on the download page: http://chirp.danplanet.com/downloads If you are on a mailing list for one of the supported radios or another community that might be interested, be sure to share this link around. More users means more bug reports and then (eventually) fewer bugs :) Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] D710 programing: beyond memories.. internal settings
by David Ranch 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Hey Dan, fellow Chip users, I was curious if it would be possible to add the ability to program in extra information into the D710 beyond just memories. Things like the following that's available in the Kenwood MCP-2A program. I personally need the "Data Terminal" menu to set the levels for the external TNC. --David Memory channels Call Channel Weather Channel Program Scan Memory VFO Menu - audio - Transmit / Receive - memory - DTMF - Repeater - Aux - PF key - Band Mask - APRS / Navitra - Sky command II DTMF memory Echolink Memory Data Terminal

[chirp_users] Help on libiconv DLL issue
by Dan Smith 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

Hi all, If you are experiencing the DLL warning message with CHIRP on your Windows box, I need to talk to you to determine why it's happening. If you are seeing this, could you please reply with the following details: 1. The version of CHIRP you're using 2. How you are running it (zip or installer) 3. What version and service pack of Windows you're on 4. What other software you have installed on the system that may also ship that DLL (Pidgin and Gimp come to mind) I just tried CHIRP on a completely fresh install of WinXP (both installer and zip versions). I'm unable to reproduce the issue, so I need some help to get this either resolved or documented before I post 0.1.11 final. Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS
