by Phaeton 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Tried to login to start an issue but could not. I haven't changed my password and if I try to retrieve my password using this email address it says "unknown user" Am I missing something? I just logged in a few hours ago for a way to installed Suds for Python and found out how to do it but my user is not being recognized HELP! Sent from my 15.4" MacBook Pro, i7 quad core

[chirp_users] Not showing COM10
by Dean Gibson AE7Q 12 Feb '13

On 2013-01-01, Dan wrote: /Type COM10 into the box and it will open it. The only way for a "regular" Win32 program to enumerate the available serial ports is to literally try to open every single one of them to see if it fails or succeeds. This takes a bit of time, and can interfere with other things using the ports on your system. I can add this search logic to CHIRP, I just hate to solve the problem in that way. If you'll open a ticket for extending the static list to, say, COM64, I'll be glad to shove that in to make it more intuitive./ -------------------------------- Well, I use COM ports w/ Chirp into the 100's. I agree that enumerating or "blindly" extending the list is a bad idea. My suggestion is to remember any valid (1-256) COM port(s) manually entered into the "COM box", and present them in future invocations. -- Dean AE7Q ps: I've imported all my memories into my new Icom ID-51A using Icom's CS-51 program. So, if you need a sample .ICF file (both virgin from the device, and/or as modified by me) in order to add ID-51 support to Chirp, let me know.

[chirp_users] Problem with Radioreference
by Phaeton 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

When I do a Query Data Source I get frequencies from my zip code but they are all Public Service like police, fire, EMS, Schools, road departments etc.. While that's fine and dandy there is an amateur section at radioreference.com that I can import amateur frequencies using one of the Commander series softwares for Yaesu radios. Please check into this because radioreference should be exporting amateur frequencies along with public service or their should be a choice given in the query operation. Or if I'm missing something let me know what. This is one of the daily build, it's a week or so old but it works great with the Wouxun KGUV6D-Ham Only radio.

I have one with Alinco cords to USB interface and I would be willing to loan it for period of development work. I don't yet understand Alinco model number so am not sure if it would help with issue 253 or 322. WB9MAF

[chirp_users] Contact/Loan a radio
by MURS Radio 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hi, I've been attempting to contact someone to loan a radio (Puxing PX-888K) so that it can be supported. The contact page - http://chirp.danplanet.com/contact - is not working and attempts for a response on IRC were not successful. Could someone contact me directly to work out the radio loan details? -- Rob ========================================== MURS Radio Two Way Radio Communications and Security http://www.murs-radio.com ==========================================

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R Scanning
by Bill Gabbard 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

I'm aware of and use the Scanning feature on the Baofeng UV-5R and was wondering if a Priority Scan can be set & if not could that feature be programmed in the Skip column of Chirp with the Skip feature or elsewhere? Thanks, Bill

[chirp_users] linux dtr/rts issue
by jim ki6njf 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

All, I cannot get the Ubuntu version of Chirp to function CHIRP daily-20130209 GTK 2.24.13 PyGTK 2.24.0 Python 2.7.3 to work with an RT systems interface cable on linux. But, Under Windows XP SP3 running on the same system under Virtual Box, Chirp 0.3.0 works. Ubuntu 12.10 KDE Virtual Box 4.1.18 radio: yaesu ft-7800 or vx-7r RT System adapter cable. for the windows system the Data Terminal Ready/Request to Send lines go high (the rt system adapter is power by the diode OR of them at a positive voltage) for the transfer, On the linux version DTR/RTS stay negative. The RT systems adapter must have DRT or RTS high to be powered. I am a member of the tty and dialout groups on the linux system. Any ideas or more information? 73s jim ki6njf
