The exclamation mark means you have a conflict. Fix your port settings.

I had no problems connecting until I went to Windows 8 Now when I use the cables and start with download from radio the box for the Com port does not comes up. Nothing happens.

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT7900R/E
by Dave Cavanaugh 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

I recently got this radio and today the programming cable came. I now see that there is not a Chirp listing for this particular radio. Will another Yaesu radio's setting work, or do I need to use the Yaesu software (which I didn't order as I got my cable from Amazon)? I have a bunch of repeaters I want to program in and would like to use the same basic file as I use in my Baofeng HTs and that I used in my Anytone before it crapped out and I returned it. Thanks

[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

hello group. i have a windows 8 laptop. just recently upgraded to windows 8.1. i want to do some program editing to my kenwood thf6a. chirp and the radio cannot talk to each other because chirp tells me it cannot find the com port. it worked okay until i upgraded to 8.1. the question is, do i have to put in a new driver so that chirp and the radio can communicate. thank you Leonard

[chirp_users] Command line possible?
by Nigel Johnson, MIEEE 04 Feb '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I am a linux user, and am running my FT8900 five floors away in a boiler room cabinet. SuSE 13.1 is running on a 1.2 GHz embedded PC and doesn't run graphics very well. I also have aprx and a liveATC.net feed running on the PC. I'd like to be able to program it without trying to do so kneeling on the concrete floor of the cramped boiler room with a laptop!
