[chirp_users] [CHIRP] #91: Kenwood tm-v71 identifies, then Chirp freezes...

#91: Kenwood tm-v71 identifies, then Chirp freezes... --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: psharmor@… | Type: Bug Status: new | Priority: Functionality Milestone: | Component: Memory Editor Version: 0.1.9 | Keywords: kenwood tm-v71 tmv71 Platform: Linux | --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- In my several attempts to get my Kenwood TM-V71A to be workable with Chirp, anytime I start the detection routine for reading the radio, the windows both freeze / blank, and it produces the following, but nothing further, on terminal: me@host:~$ chirpw PC->V71: ID V71->PC: PC->V71: ID V71->PC: PC->V71: ID V71->PC: PC->V71: ID V71->PC: ID TM-V71 PC->D7: ID This is my current scenario: Running v0.1.11 on Kubuntu Natty (beta, updated multiple times a day), on a Fit-PC2i, via direct serial to pg-5h cable kit. Serial port is confirmed as /dev/ttyS0, Kenwood's own software works correctly, via sharing of the serial port to VirtualBox WinXP image. Of course, XP is NOT running, during my attempts to utilize Chirp, so port should be free, and is also chmod 777 for testing purposes. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac/ticket/91> CHIRP <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac> CHIRP Development

[chirp_users] [CHIRP] #115: duplex setting getting automatically overwritten when frequency gets focus.

#115: duplex setting getting automatically overwritten when frequency gets focus. -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: rct+chirp@… | Type: Bug Status: new | Priority: Stability Milestone: | Component: Memory Editor Version: (tip) | Keywords: Platform: Linux | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- If the frequency field gets focus, the duplex setting gets overwritten with the band plan duplex for that frequency, even if the frequency doesn't change. I first noticed this with 6 meter frequencies. they would loose their duplex setting if the frequency field gets focus. Note: the frequency actually hasn't changed, I just double clicked on it. There are no STD_6M_OFFSETS defined so the duplex settings all got changed to none. On a 2M frequency that had an offset that doesn't match the standard offsets, touching the frequency would cause the duplex setting to be silently changed. To reproduce: 1. Enter a 6m frequency, 52.500, + offset by 0.500 2. Double click the frequency, observer the + duplex has changed to none. Alternatively. 1. Enter 147.375, notice that + and .600 get set automatically. 2. Change to - shift. 3. Double click on 147.375 so it gets & looses focus, note the shift (duplex0 has changed back to +. First if the frequency doesn't actually get changed, no other automatic changes should be applied. Second, I think automatically setting the shift/direction should only occur the first time the frequency is set. Subsequent changes to the frequency shouldn't cause automatic defaults to be applied. Aren't the current set of standard 2m/70cm offsets somewhat US specific? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac/ticket/115> CHIRP <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac> CHIRP Development
