Dear all, When I click on a memory channel and highlight it and then right click and click on edit the URCALL, RPT1CALL and RPT2CALL do not show up in the edit memory window, the skip field is the last one displayed. What am I doing wrong, 73 de rolan w3fdk

[chirp_users] ftm-350 programming
by m3uon 05 May '13

05 May '13

Hello I would like to thank you first for an excellent piece of software. It works really well for most of the radios I have used it with. I was trying to find the archive to see if this has been discussed already (unsuccessfully), and finding none thought I should bring it up. I am currently trying to programme a Yaesu FTM-350 using a daily build (from yesterday, 27th April). It seem to do a very good job, except for the fact that when reading from the radio, it changes all the symbols (like :, ;, >, etc.) into a single back-tick (`) rather than retaining the original symbol programmed to the radio. Not sure if it can write back -- have not tried that yet. Will post once I get the chance. Thanks again for the hard work. Regards Shah

[chirp_users] Desktop icon
by Marty Hartwell 04 May '13

Hi I have wondered about where and what file is the icon for the app? I have created a launcher as I have done before but don't now have the icon for Chirp. I actually am not real sure if it is in the correct place either. I got on the Chirp web site and followed the instructions for setting up the PPA but didn't see anything on the desktop, so I created one after finding what looks like the App in I think /usr/share sub directories. Is this correct or is there a better way? Marty kd8bj

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-X4: A-OK
by David Brunner 02 May '13

Hi All; I bought this little radio last summer at the hamfest in Plano, TX along with the Windows software and the Prolific programming cable. I initially installed the software on an old Windows Vista machine and programmed a number of frequencies without a problem. I recently got around to installing it on a newish Win7-64 box and had to do quite a lot of mucking with it to get the USB stuff working, but finally had success. I then downloaded Chirp (daily build) and it read the radio with no problem at all (as the UV-3R). So then I thought I would give Chirp a whirl on my Linux Mint Debian x64 laptop. Installed via Synaptic and it worked the first time without a hiccup. Woohoo! I had to run it as root (easily fixed, betcha) and it also saw the radio as a UV-3R. Now for my Kenwood TM-G707A's.... Very impressed! You guys are awesome! 73, David / KE0AZ Aurora, CO (DM79)
