[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20120615 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #94 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add ID-80AD support Note that this includes a dirty hack to detect the model based on the GPS-A destination, which is changeable by the user. Most people will not screw with that and thus I think this is okay for now. When we get a rich container file format this won't be a problem. Closes #2

[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build now available
by Mike Heitmann 14 Jun '12

14 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_20120614 Or: yum update chirp-daily_20120614-1.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] Can't program Alinco DR-135 mkIII / Argent T2-135
by Don Mascarella 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hello, I am having difficulty using CHIRP with my Alinco DR-135 mkIII. I have the computer connected via a USB-to-Serial adapter / Serial straight through cable / this plugs into the DB9 serial connector in the back of the radio. I have the Argent T2-135 installed inside of the Alinco. My settings are: 4800 / 8 / 1 / None I have manually programmed 3 memory channels into the Alinco. When I try to connect with CHIRP, I get the following error message: "An error has occurred need more than 1 value to unpack" Am I doing something wrong? I have successfully used CHIRP with my Yaesu FT-897D and my Kenwood TM-D710a with no problems. -Don Mascarella KA9RXK - Schaumburg, IL

Re: [chirp_users] Problem Uploading on FT-897D
by John Johnson 11 Jun '12

11 Jun '12

OK I couldn't leave it alone.......not solved but new interesting data........ I ran "process explorer" and "portmon" from the Microsoft sysinternalssuite. They do not show any program or process using the serial port when the error occurs (radio immediately displays "error" after A button pushed to upload when in clone mode). Appears there is not another application capturing the serial port and changing levels. I even disabled the modem (COM3) just in case......no change....shot in the dark I connected the USB to Serial cable to one of the Dell USB ports and it assigned COM6. I plugged the serial cable from the radio on the end and everything works great (upload and download). Looks like it is not a system software problem. I am starting to think I have a hardware problem on COM1 serial port. But it downloads fine and the HRD suite of products run fine through it. Wish I had all of the test equipment (scope, etc) I threw out when I downsized and moved after retiring. Wait a minute, I think I have a logic probe out in my toolbox...... Oh, to only go back to the days when I could simply use the system maintenance panels to displays signal levels and logic prints to track down what was happening <sigh>. Suggestions welcome.......
