What about the time when one of the list members on your Yahoo group posted about another radio which was the European equivalent of the Anytone? After telling him off, you cut off any further postings that were not specifically and solely about the Anytone. Remember??? KF5HRF

Re: [chirp_users] Problem reported with Windows download?
by Eben Haber 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

I realized the cause of the problem that was reported to me. When I go to the chirp site in a browser with no ad-blocker, there is an ad on the right in the form of a green button saying "start download" which installs malware on Windows machines. Is there any way for the Chirp site owner to control what ads are shown? Or does the site just get ads from some ad server? I wouldn't be surprised if others are being misdirected by this ad, causing them to go away thinking that Chirp is just a malware site. 73, -Eben / K6EBN

[chirp_users] VX-6 Cable Issue
by Tom Balaban 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

It's been a while since I've modified the memories on my VX-6's. Yesterday I tried to make some changes and came across this issue. I'm able to upload but not download. When I try to download I get an "error" message on the Yaesu. Nothing happens in CHIRP until I power off the Yaesu then I get a failure message. I tried this on two different Linux boxes. One a Xubuntu 13.10 netbook and the other a Xubuntu 13.10 VM running on my MacBook. This is important to me since I often program radios of others when we officiate bicycle races. Being able to add frequencies to their existing list is essential. FWIW, a similar cable worked just fine on my Baofengs. TIA for any help.

Re: [chirp_users] Problem reported with Windows download?

Hi Dan, I was the one who reported the problem in the first place. I certainly don't begrudge you the ability to have some ads to pay for all your trouble. On the other hand, I recommended CHIRP on another list and one of the recipients got screwed up by malware installed by clicking on the big green "Start Download" button, not seeing the tiny "advertisement" label. So at least one person has bad things to say about CHIRP, thinking it's a scam and the site is filled with malware, and there may well be more out there. So that's not good for your business either. Is there any way to do a better job marking the adverts and distinguishing them from the real download button? 73, -Eben / K6EBN On Nov 20, 2013, at 8:20 PM, chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com wrote: > >> The site really shouldn't have adverts in the first place > > No?

[chirp_users] UV-82X
by K8fa.art＠gmail.com 20 Nov '13

20 Nov '13

Need spell check last e-mail. The rig is the UV-82X, and chirp has to be updated to allow programing functions to be sent from the Laptop to the radio. I have had only a few days to play with your program and I am impressed with it. The main trouble is (op error's), lack of familiarity and at 72 those little numbers tend to run together. LOL. Thank you for all of the teams hard work. k8fa.art(a)gmail.com Art Puckett Las Vegas, Nv. 89122 Sent from my iPad
