[chirp_users] 8900 and NFM
by Simon Kapadia 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

Hi there, I have an 8900, and I'd like to program the 6m and 2m repeaters in our local area using what Yaesu calls "Narrow FM" - 12.5khz deviation. Unfortunately Chirp only seems to support FM and AM for this rig (checked using the latest build, and confirmed according to the support statement athttp://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-08202011/Model_Support.…). Is there any way NFM could be added so that we can save repeaters with narrow FM set? I believe that this should be possible with the image interface - when cloning between two rigs a while ago, I had a couple of repeaters that were set to narrow FM and they cloned in just fine... Many thanks, -simon -- サイモン M0GZP / 2E0LHR / M6IBM Simon Kapadia, B.A., M.Sc., C.Eng.

I tested the IC-W32A download and upload with the 8/20 daily build and it seems to work fine. Well done. Thanks, Jim KJ7F

Dan- Sounds good. I actually have three FT-2800Ms, so I will loan you my spare and can test CHIRP on the other two. Thank you!

I probably need to study the clone protocol a little better to try to get a handle on it. When I finished with it, I definitely thought "hmm, this is a little touchy" but I certainly didn't think it was this bad. If Jim is okay with me keeping the radio for a little longer this time, I'll generate some changes and have you test them for me before I send it back. That might be the way to go.

So that you can keep the new memories in order and not have to add a line.

[chirp_users] [CHIRP] #105: Bug Setting "default" frequency to last frequency edited..

#105: Bug Setting "default" frequency to last frequency edited.. ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: Robert Terzi <rct+chirp@…> | Type: Bug Status: new | Priority: Cosmetic Milestone: | Component: Memory Editor Version: 0.1.11 | Keywords: Platform: Linux | ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- I find it confusing that when I start entering a new frequency, by typing the name since it's the left most column, what ever frequency was last in focus gets automatically filled in. If I'm going fast enough I might not realize that I didn't type that frequency in and it isn't the one I want. I'd really like to see that have an undefined value if I've never set it. Alternatively if I type a name first, and there is no valid frequency yet, force the focus to be the freqency field. Another manifestation of this problem is if I double click on the name field of a frequency that isn't in use it creates a new frequency memory for me with that seemingly random (last freqency entry that had focus for editing). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac/ticket/105> CHIRP <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac> CHIRP Development

Hi Dan- I installed the 8/18 daily build of CHIRP and gave it a try. On the FT-2800m, as before I was able to download from the radio with no problem. I followed the procedure you recommended this morning, but I was not able to upload to the radio no matter what I tried, including switching to the 8/11 version, which had worked before. Any ideas? If it would help to have the radio back, I could send it with the TM-271A. I had no problem with the THK2. Download works fine and I was able to import and modify a csv or chirp file in "live" mode and then export it. On the IC-W32A, I still was not able to download a file from the radio. It gives the same error "class IC9xICFRadio has no attribute '_model'". I switched to the 8/11 daily build and was able to download and upload a modified .img file to the radio. I had thought there was a problem with the tone field on the 8/11 build, but it now seems to work correctly - the tones appear to be correct and they are in the tone field, not the tone sql field. Probably operator error. Thanks, Jim GivensKJ7F
