[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for Latest chirp-daily Build (was: New Daily Build)
by Mike Heitmann 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

All, Linux Fedora RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available in the KK7DS Ham-Apps yum repository. To add the repository as a software source, please follow these instructions: http://www.d-rats.com/component/content/article/30-d-rats-yum-repository/ I know it says d-rats, the chirp files are in the same repository. After setting up the repository, open the "Add/Remove Software" tool and go to "software sources" under the system menu. Make sure the "KK7DS Ham Apps Beta Software" line is checked (enabled). For some reason, the Fedora package manager likes the beta versions better that the daily builds, so you may not see the daily release in the list the first time you update. If you don't see it, open a terminal window and enter: yum update chirp-daily_02072012 Or: yum update chirp-daily_02072012-1.fc16 That should install the latest daily build. For those who don't wish to use the repository but still want the RPM (binary or source), please look here: http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/noarch/chirp-daily_020… http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/SRPMS/chirp-daily_0207… Happy Testing, Mike, N0SO --- On Tue, 2/7/12, Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com> wrote: > From: Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com> > Subject: [chirp_users] New Daily Build > To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > Date: Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 12:02 PM > Greetings, > > A new daily build of CHIRP is available.

[chirp_users] Using Chirp with Icom V82
by Amateur Radio WB8NUT 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

Is there anything special or sequence of keys needed to get Chirp to work with an Icom V82? I put the radio into Clone mode and try reading and writing. I have hit the PTT to read and write. In every case Chirp says it cannot determine the radio model number and gives an error. Any suggestions? Thanks, Duffy www.wb8nut.com

[chirp_users] Chirp and FT-7900 problem
by John 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Hi, I've download chirp and used it to program an Icom ic-2100h I now want to program a Yaesu FT-7900. I bought the USB cable from Kawa but am having a problem. If I plug in the cable into the data port the radio goes into tx until I plug in the USB then it goes to rx. But when I try to download the radio's content I get and error message that says "Failed to read header (0)" What am I doing wrong? Thanks, John K4AG
