[chirp_users] I got an unsupported xinchuang TR-N7 radio, how can I add support for it?

Is there any place I can upload... say a "serial dump" file of communication between it and some propriety software (named SV83) ? I managed to create a serial sniffer cable, so if I have a place to upload it, then you guys could inspect and add support for it. Heck I think having a dedicated place to upload serial dumps would be great for reverse engineering efforts.

[chirp_users] saving settings other than just channel memories?
by eric oyen 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

greetings everyone, I am wondering if the chirp program saves more than just the channel memory fields to a csv file? I would like to have all settings from my UV5R saved so that I may use a text editor to make my modifications with. Its a lot simpler than trying to navigate the interface in Linux. Inquiring minds want to know! -eric

[chirp_users] some issues with recent daily biold..
by eric oyen 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

ok, I am using this program on Linux as it isn't screen reader friendly anywhere else. here's a couple of issues: 1. When importing from data sources, I cannot check or uncheck individual items 2. I cannot simply shift values down one channel (moving 3 to 2 , etc.). I use Ubuntu 13 precise (LTS version) with all packages updated. I also use ORCA screen reader as I am blind. SO, any chance of changing this so it works a little more nicely? btw, I am not the only blind ham around here that may have to use software to program a chinese radio (or even one of the others for that matter).. A lot of us (and there are quite a few thousand of us here in the US) would certainly appreciate it if the developer would address the accessibility issue on windows or OS X (as not many of us use Linux). Those of us blind hams who do use Linux would certainly appreciate a few small changes in the interface to make it a little more screen reader (using ORCA or emacspeak) friendly. there is an FAQ here: http://empowermentzone.com/NonvisualDevelopmentFAQ.htm there is an entry for python scripting there that would make it a lot easier to understand (and setup for accessible UI structures.. in fact, heres the FAQ in question: /Quote What tools are recommended for developing with the Python language? Install Python from http://python.org Install the wxPython package for creating accessible GUIs from http://wxPython.org For Windows development, install the Python for Windows extensions at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ Also install py2exe, a package for building stand-alone executables from http://py2exe.org In Python, code indentation is syntactically required rather than stylistically optional. The EdSharp editor includes features that help screen reader users manage indentation efficiently, available at http://EmpowermentZone.com/edsetup.exe Quote/ please give this your best consideration. thanks Eric (n7zzt)
