[chirp_users] skipping channels
by dave calhoun 21 Jul '12

21 Jul '12

Hi Marco, When I export to csv it does insert the S for skip into the file. I'll have to learn how to check the radio itself to see if the skip is selected or not. That would answer if it was an unsupported feature in chirp or not. I'm using a yaesu FT-60 handheld. When you describe the special channels it sounds like you are talking about ones we can't transmit on? Like listening to the burger king radio? I've seen the frequencies for my area published but wondered just what use they would be. Alan, I wasn't sure what you were asking but it sounds like you are using windows 7 and don't have the usb driver installed? I don't know anything about windows 7 since I am a macintosh user but perhaps you could get the appropriate driver from the same place I did. http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm Dave kc7hpt KC7HPT

[chirp_users] field questions
by dave calhoun 20 Jul '12

20 Jul '12

I just started using chirp and it works great. I have two questions though. I want to skip over some channels while in scan mode. I put an "S" in the skip field assuming that's what it meant but it does not skip. My second question is regarding special channels checkmark. What does this do?

Being a lazy type, can you add the ability to add tpl files from the ARRL repeater guide to the programming. That would greatly help travelers to program for different areas. Thanks for including this OLD ham. 73 GL CUL DE WA8WHP K
