[chirp_users] icom IC-80AD future support?
by William Arcand 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

Greetings, Looking around at the support new radio section of your website I see that the icom ic-80AD was added to the list back in Sept 2011. I was wondering if any progress was made to support the radio, or if there are plans to support the radio. Any insight you could provide would be appreciated. 73 Bill W1WRA

I'm getting an XP machine back in service to do all of my radio programming and when I install Chirp and try to run it I get an error Application cannot run because application configuration is incorrect. I tried uninstalling, downloading again and reinstalling again with the same results. Any ideas anyone? Thanks, Bill WB4WTN

Re: [chirp_users] Chirp Mint 13 w/cinnamon Yaesu FT-8800

Dan, I am using the serial port on the computer. It is a Dell Optiplex GX280. dual core 32bit P4 with 3GB of memory. I blew Windows away and installed Mint 13 w/cinnamon. I am at work at the moment (50 miles from home). I'll give it another shot tonight and send you the log if I cannot get it to work. I am hoping it is some little step I am forgetting.

Yes, it's the same combination/procedure. Are you really using the integrated serial port on your machine, or a USB adapter? Please attach your debug log so I can take a look. -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users

[chirp_users] Chirp Mint 13 w/cinnamon Yaesu FT-8800
by Hawkins 18 Jun '12

Gang, Installed Chirp. I am using a cable that I got from some Windows software that I used to program the FT-8800. It works fine with that software. I just don't use W for much and would like to do away with it all together. When I put the 8800 in clone mode and clicked OK on chirp, I got an error from Chirp saying that it did not have permission to use /dev/ttyS0. sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyS0 fixed that at least for now. Trying again produced : "An error has occurred failed to read header 0" Any thoughts? Steve -- Stephen Hawkins NG0G ng0g(a)mchsi.com 73 49 111 01001001

Rather than setting the permissions on /dev/ttyS0 to 0777 you should add yourself to the group that owns the device. On my Ubuntu box that's the "dialout" group; Mint might be similar. 73, Creede WA7KPK From: Hawkins Sent: 6/17/2012 12:58 PM To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: [chirp_users] Chirp Mint 13 w/cinnamon Yaesu FT-8800 Gang, Installed Chirp.

[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build now available
by Mike Heitmann 15 Jun '12

15 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_20120615 Or: yum update chirp-daily_20120615-1.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
