Re: [chirp_users] Can't write FT-2800M

Absolutely. And to program the FT-2800M manually, to record frequencies of repeaters does not work as described in the user manual !! (traditional method Yaesu line, pressing PTT to the transmission frequency); it is necessary to go into the menu and change RPT and SHIFT. Uff ... I had a hard time to find out haha On the hardware side, this model also has problems in the RF power amplifier. Correction: In the previous post, where I wrote 3.5 mm I should have written 2.5 mm.

[chirp_users] Problem Uploading on FT-897D
by John Johnson 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

I am able to download the memory settings from the FT-897D with no problems. However, even if I simply try to upload the received data (no changes) it fails with an "ERROR" message on the Ft-897D and the upload box on CHIRP disappears immediately. This occurs using multiple versions of CHIRP including the 03/30/2012 (chosen since multiple posters say it works) up to the latest daily build. When I click on the CHIRP upload box on the PC screen first and then immediately push the button marked A (upload) on the FT-897D the radio screen displays "RECEIVING" very briefly and then displays "ERROR". If I select button A on the radio first it immediately displays "ERROR". I am using XP PRO with a serial port connecting to the radio. I have verified the com port and radio is correct (it just downloaded OK) and that the port is set to 9600 baud. The cable and connection runs HRD and DM780 with no problems so I am assuming the cable is OK. I suspect some arcane setting that I am unable to find. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can determine the cause of the error? Thank you. John

[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build now available
by Mike Heitmann 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

All, Fedora Linux 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_20120605 Or: yum update chirp-daily_20120605-1.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_201… http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/SRPMS/chirp-daily_2012… Fedora users who have upgraded to Fedora Core version 17 (fc17), Fedora Core version 17 RPMs for CHIRP and D-RATS may be found at: http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/17/ Happy Testing, Mike, N0SO

[chirp_users] Exporting D72 memories never finishes
by Sander Pool 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Hi, I did some editing of my D72 memory, unplugged the radio and attempted to export the stations to csv so I can re-import into my D710. The problem is that the 'Preparing memory list' phase never ends. This is on an i7 based laptop so it shouldn't be a performance issue. I have perhaps 100 of the 1000 memories set, spread over the 10 banks. Any ideas? 73, Sander W1SOP

[chirp_users] Help request: Chirp does not start
by Federico Martini 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Hi everyone. Just enrolled the list seeking for help. I tried to install Chirp on my old notebook running XP. Installation OK. When I launch the program I get the following error message: > ------------------ > C:\Program Files\CHIRP\chirpw.exe > This application has failed to start because che application > configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this > problem. > (OK) > ---------------- I tried to de-install, to install the older version, to install again without de-installing, etc.. but no avail. Maybe it is a simple issue, but by myself I cannot find the way to solve the problem. Many thanks in advance, --Federico, IK0ADR in Rome, Italy
