[chirp_users] 857D problem
by Joseph Skoler 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hi, I just installed Chirp to program my new 857D. The interface/cable is working fine -- able to download/upload memories to/from the radio. My problem is that none of the UHF/VHF memories work on the rig if they're programmed using Chirp. That is, they're in memory and I can receive on them just fine. But, transmitting does not appear to work -- cannot key up the repeaters. I have quadruple checked the offset direction/amount as well as the PL. The 10 meter memory entries work fine. I have an SWR meter on the HF antenna port and it moves a tiny amount when I'm transmitting on a memory channel programmed to a VHF or UHF frequency, as if it's putting the signal out the HF port. When I program the memories manually everything works fine. What am I doing wrong? thank you, Joseph, kc2yu

[Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Added tag release_0_2_1 for changeset 744ce08c8bea [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] The RFinder guys changed their query mechanism _again_. At least this time it's sane. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make Kenwood drivers refuse to talk to an incompatible model (since you can now ask it to do so) [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Allow choosing a specific model even if the vendor supports a detection scheme. This lets you choose, for example, a specific model Icom or Kenwood radio and bypass the detection routine during download. This can avoid certain issues with detection and/or speed up the process of starting the download.

Everything worked just as it has suppose to from the beginning. I now have a clean copy of my radio files and a working Chirp program that will work on the ICOM 92AD. Thank You.

[chirp_users] CHIRP 0.2.1
by Dan Smith 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Hi all, As planned and promised, I just posted 0.2.1 on the website for download. This release contains only the bare minimum of fixes against 0.2.0. The new version is available on the download page and the details are documented in the news item on the site: http://chirp.danplanet.com/news/3 Note that if you're running on the current daily builds then what you have is *newer* than this build. The intent of the maintenance releases are just to get fixes to users of the regular version more often. Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS
