Dan or other CHIRP Team members, I have a DR-635 and would like to see support added for this radio. Any idea approximately how long a developer would need a radio to add support? AE7HS ae7hs(a)idaho4.com

[chirp_users] updated template
by Mike Agner 23 Nov '13

I've added a question about whether this radio is a live mode radio or not to the Prepare the Radio section. So the template - now adjusted for Redmine coding - looks something like this; h1. Radio page {{>toc}} h2. Getting Started * [[Beginner's Guide]] * [[FAQ]] * "Features Supported in (this model)":http://chirp.danplanet.com/download/0.3.0/Model_Support.html * Put the link from miklor.com for the radio here (if available) h2. Making the Connection * [[CableGuide]] * [[CableGuide FTDO OEM Cables]] * [[FAQ Adjusting the Serial Port Settings in Windows]] -----> Add how to access Device Manager in Windows to this article (all versions). This data is mostly available on the RadioReference wiki * What is the original manufacturer cable number? * Are there other known compatible cables (Yes/No)? ** If yes, please list Make and model number: h2. Prepare the Radio * Is this radio a 'clone mode' radio (Yes/No)? ** If Yes, state the keystrokes and/or menu items needed to put the radio into clone mode: * Is this radio a 'live mode' radio (Yes/No)? ** If Yes, an image file cannot be saved for this radio h2. Using CHIRP * [[Downloading a Template from the Radio]] * [[Editing the Template]] ------> The MemoryEditorColumns article would be linked from here ------> This is the place where you would discuss the use of the 'stock configurations' - how to use them, edit them and/or merge them with your current data ------> Are there any special keystrokes for special functions (like repeating data down a column)? If there are, list in this article ------> Also list any limitations of this radio for CHIRP or any special functions that are radio-specific here * [[Uploading a Template to a Radio]] h2. Importing/Exporting Data h3. Importing File Formats * [[Importing EVE files] * [[Importing Kenwood HMK files]] * [[Importing Kenwood Commercial ITM format files]] * [[Importing Icom icf files]] * [[Importing ARRL Travel Plus tpe files]] * [[Importing VX5 Commander Files]] * [[Importing VX7 Commander Files]] h3.

Importing/Exporting Comma Separated Values (CSV) Data * [[CSV HowTo]] * "Creating a CSV file in CHIRP (YouTube)":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcX9XM5NJxs * "How to create a CSV file in Chirp (YouTube)":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcX9XM5NJxs h2. YouTube Programming Videos * List all the YouTube programming links here h2. Help Topics * [[How to Get Help]] * [[How to Report Issues]] * [[Rules for Loaning a Radio]] There are some 14 topics that need to be at least started (each of those topics could entail one or more pages). And insofar as the YouTube Programming Videos, I have found a few for some of the Baofeng radios, which I think will be our starting point.

I'm not sure if you are just talking about the organization of the wiki pages, or links from the radio specific (driver) code to launch the correct page on the wiki. However, the later is something I've thought about a little, but never suggested because I didn't think there would be enough critical mass in documentation. It could be helpful if from Chirp there was the possibility to launch a radio specific web page on the wiki for help: - before starting the download from radio - before starting the upload to the radio - after a download or upload has failed for troubleshooting advice The help menu should also have an entry to launch the radio specific wiki help page. This means there should be a little planning in how the wiki pages are named. There should be (some) correlation to the radio driver since it will have to generate the URL. The radio specific pages on the wiki should be in their own name space. I don't know what redmine's capabilities are, the "name space" could be as simple as prepending a prefix like "Radio-" for all of the radio specific help template pages. The rationale for this that I believe many people will attempt to use the software before looking for or reading any documentation. --Rob ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2013 16:14:07 -0500 From: Mike Agner <ka3jjz(a)comcast.net> Subject: [chirp_users] Beginner's Guide template To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Message-ID: <52911A9F.3050706(a)comcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I'm not sure if the formatting is going to make it thru the email software, but here's a first cut at a template for each radio.

[chirp_users] Beginners Guide template addition
by Mike Agner 23 Nov '13

23 Nov '13

I forgot to add something to the section where it lists Editing the template - if there's anything that's radio specific that CHIRP can/can't do or any special functions, then it has to be listed here. For example I remember seeing something on the miklor website where CHIRP couldn't program any 6 meter frequencies for one of the Baofeng radios. That's something that's very important to know Mike --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com

[chirp_users] Beginner;s Guide and missing links
by Mike Agner 23 Nov '13

23 Nov '13

Just looking at the documentation that's already on the website, it appears that there's no mention of the miklor website anywhere. Yet there are several places there that have information on Windows installs and other data that the wiki should have but doesn't. Clearly some links to this website are going to be needed. I wouldn't have even known about this site until I was told about it - and neither would any newcomer trying to read the Chirp wiki. That's a pretty serious omission. Along those same lines, it also seems apparent that given the miklor site has a few Windows tips that the wiki doesn't, it does make one wonder what other Windows tips are not documented on the wiki. I think there should be a 'Running under Windows' page much like there is for MacOS and Linux. All of those tips - including the Windows stuff that's found in the OEM cable discussion - should probably be in one place. The OEM cable discussion could then just link to the Windows, Mac and Linux page as needed. Related to the cables, it's mentioned in the wiki that some OEM cables work with other radios (for example, the FT7800 cable works with other radios - be specific - which ones?). Again this is something the newcomer would not know, and needs to be clearly spelled out. In addition, all the data that's specific to a given radio can be moved to that radio's article. Next is the question as to which radios are 'clone-mode' radios and which aren't. That topic is mentioned in the FAQ, there doesn't seem to be anywhere that defines which model is or isn't. That's something that the article for each radio would need to have. Unless I missed it, I didn't see it in the features list page either. Even if it is there, it sure seems difficult to find. It looks like that the basic functionality of CHIRP varies somewhat between non-clone and clone mode radios (is this right?). One way to address this is to create a pool of common pages that defines all of CHIRP's functions. They would be broken down into 4 categories; - Functions that are common between all radios - Functions that are common to the clone mode radios - Functions that are common to the non-clone mode radios No I didn't miscount. There is a fourth function - importing and exporting data. There's already something on the wiki for CSV stuff, and there's even a YouTube video on this. And that's part of it, but not all. There's also the matter of importing data from external sites, such as Repeaterbook or RadioReference. Each of these would need to be defined, one function at a time. Once all that is done, then each model of radio can point to the page(s) that apply to it, and ignore those that don't. When a new radio comes along, it's then just a matter of building the correct links There's lots of work to be done here - writing good documentation often is. No one person should even think to do all of this. But if we can get people just to define one function, eventually it would all get done.
