[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] Linux users survey
by Dan Smith 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

Hi all, I'm looking for some feedback from those of you that run CHIRP on Linux. Specifically, I want to determine if there is enough demand for integrated build support for Fedora, debian, etc packages in our process. If so, I can do it, but if not many people care then it's probably not the best use of our time. Additionally, the survey includes some questions about desktop environments, just to get an idea of what/where people are running it. Note that this survey is for Linux *distro* use only. Please don't fill out the survey indicating that you want CHIRP to run on a device that runs Linux under the covers (like android). Here's the survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Z99WHK5 Thanks! --Dan

[chirp_users] Chirp & FT-8800

I've been using the latest build for programming the FT-8800 over the last two weeks. No problem at all. For windows the only issue I've ever had is drivers being updated automatically for the programming cable. Do not allow Windows to do this! Regards, Andy - G8NTH

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20140131 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #263 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-B5] Fix for Out-of-Range Error Messages In addition to the regular OFF setting value, the OEM software sometimes allows and uses the next higher value outside the range of valid settings to indicate OFF. This patch accomodates this behavior for both the TX Tone setting and Time Out Timer settings. #1405 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-5R] Add Support for the Squelch Tail Eliminate Setting expose STE setting in structure add STE setting #1387 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-B5] Fix for Beep Prompt Setting This patch corrects a problem where editing the "Beep Prompt" always resulted in the value being set to False (enabled in the radio). The setting "beep_tone" was renamed "beep_tone_disabled" to make it easier to follow the logic of the setting. beep_tone_disabled = True = OFF in radio beep_tone_disabled = False = ON in radio #1381

Is there, or will there ever be, radio support for the Yaesu FT-50R HT? I've tried all other Yaesu products listed in the latest Chirp build, and no joy. William J. (Jim) Wickstrom, W1IK Technical Director, Utica/Shelby Emergency Communication Association (USECA) w1ik(a)arrl.net www.usecaarc.com

I do not believe the UV-5R family of radios have any way to do split tone. One the other hand, there is NEVER any actual NEED to do split tone, because there is NEVER any actual NEED to use a Rx Tone at all. Just program the correct tone, and stop putting the radio into TSQL mode because TSQL mode is totally unnecessary, you only need the tone on transmit, there is no need to have activate ToneSQuelch on receive.

If you downloaded the .exe file just run it by clicking on it. If it is the .zip file then you have to extract the files and run setup.
