> sure, here you go Thanks, I've pushed a change for tomorrow. Please let me know if it works for you. Also, didn't you say you have a Puxing PX-2R? If so, could you test yesterday's build for us and report back? Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] file saving/exporting

Radio - Wouxun KG-UVD1P O/S - Ubuntu 11.04 Chirp ver - Daily 08272011 I had just finished re-programming my radio (btw love the ability to move channels around!) I saved the channels as wouxun.img and disconnected my radio, closed CHIRP. I decided that I wanted to verify a channel, so I started CHIRP again hit file, open and selected wouxun.img, I received an error unknown file format. Thinking that CHIRP did not know what radio I wanted to look at, I reconnected the radio read it then attempted to load wouxun.img again and got the same file error. ok, to try something else, I selected file, export and chose CHIRP as the file format, a dialog box opened up prompting me to select which files to export, however I was not able to select any, I hit the select all button, nothing happened, I hit invert figuring that it would mark all of those not marked, nothing happened, I saved the file and then re-opened it and found that it was a empty file. I was able to export as a CSV, and re-load the CSV with no problems. Thank you for all of your hard work on this software!

[chirp_users] Hello, delightful program, thanks
by Andy Lavarre 26 Aug '11

Thanks for an excellent program. Makes programming the radio a whole lot easier. It installed almost flawlessly with python setup.py It complained about a missing chirp.png, so I copied your logo, parked it in share/ and reran the installation, all is well, although the logo doesn't appear in the start menu (Linux openSUSE 11.4 KDE 4.6). No biggie. Similarly, connecting to the ICOM IC-92AD is almost flawless. Occasionally when changing a channel parameter the radio does not respond rapidly enough so I get an error, but inevitably on trying again it works. Not sure whether writing with a TAB or ENTER makes any difference, these errors seem to occur regardless of which I use to enter the change. But the more difficult problem is in writing to a CSV file. Every attempt to do this fails with a python error if I try to customize the path and filename of the destination CSV: invalid literal for int() with base 10 'A' on line 4 If I just accept the default (/home/user/Desktop/radio.csv) then it works just fine, although the Bank names are truncated to just the leading character (A, B, C, D, E, etc). So thanks again, MUCH easier than button smashing. I'll be sending a contribution. 73, Andy WA6VCT
