[chirp_users] Chirp LiveCD
by B Giff 24 Dec '13

24 Dec '13

The Chirp LiveCD is now one year old and I have just returned from yet another trip to Afghanistan. I should now be able to update it more often than I have in the past. A new version is now available for download. This version has the latest Chrip-daily (18 Dec 2013) and the interface has been updated. I still recommend using the LiveCD as a LiveUSB. This allows you to easily update to the newest Chirp-daily and save your files. If you have been using previous versions as a LiveUSB there is no need to update to this version, however you may want to consider doing so because of the cleaner look. Thank you to those on the dev list who provided information on your programming cables. The script should now correctly detect all of the cables for which I received information. sourceforge.net/projects/chirplivecd/ Merry Christmas Bob

[chirp_users] Power level?
by Dave C 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

On my Baofeng Chirp files I have a "power" column available. This doesn't appear to be available for the Anytone 5888UV. Is it possible to bring this in? The Anytone defaults to full power unless I manually set it to a lower power setting and whenever I switch channels it goes back to high.

[chirp_users] Chirp + Baofeng UB-B5

Just obtained new UV-B5. Works OK rf-wise. Installed todays’s daily 20131218 for Mac. Running Mac OS 10.9.1. Python bits are installed and PL2303 driver. Chirp loads and I can select the correct radio and port. When I try the initial download from the new radio I get the Cloning window then "An error has occurred Radio did not ack programming mode.” Any suggestions, please? 73 Martin RH G8BHC

[chirp_users] Chirp and Ubuntu
by Patrick McDougal 19 Dec '13

I am new to the mailing list, so I apologize if this topic has been covered before. I recently installed the latest daily build on Ubuntu 12.04. I am connecting to a Kenwood TH6A using a FTDI cable. My problem is that I am denied access to the port unless I run Chirp from the terminal as root. Is there a solution to this issue? Thanks, Patrick

by Randy Elliott 15 Dec '13

Greeting to the group I have been trying to help a friend out with his FT8800R and connection to Chirp. He is running a Mac Mini that I be leave is pre Intel. He purchased the dedicated USB to radio cable from a link on the Chirp web site. Here is the problem, he launches chirp OK, it recognizes his cable, he places his radio into clones mode, but he keeps getting an error message which states: "could not open port/dev/cu.usbserial-RTWHKYXO: [Errno2] No such file or directory: '/dev/cu.usbserial-RTWHKYXO'" Any help would be appreciated.
