[chirp_users] Mac woe's

Hi There, love your work, I am new to ham radio. I have just purchased a TYT TH-9800 I have managed to make chirp work via my windows PC but I would like to use it on my mac book air. I have down loaded the latest version but it does not show the th-9800 in the drop down box. I have been trying to understand what 'daily builds' are but am lost with that one. I also saw that you say that there are some issues with Mac (surprise surprise) Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am planning on getting several other radios soon, if this software is a usefull as it appears I will be more than happy to donate to assist you with your good work.

Windows 10 is great. No problems . I like the start and search windows. Good to have them back where they belong. Jock A.

Would have been helpful to have that information on the download page, but never mind, got it running now and download from the radio works fine. Btw, best thing about Linux is that I can use hardware that doesn't work in Windows. Like the adaptor for a led badge that uses a fake USB/serial chip. Another best thing is that Windows 8.1 is abusing my HD and I can't use the computer due to it. MS have been unable to offer a fix so I am now a Ubuntu user. Kind of fun finding what I can run without windows. Not too bad really!

[chirp_users] IC92AD Error retrieving bank names
by Wenlock Burton 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Hi, I spoke too soon, Chirp read all the memories but when I clicked the Banks(Band A) tab it read bank data but the terminal reported: ERROR: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split' Exception in thread Thread-3: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 810, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/chirp/ui/common.py", line 261, in run job.execute(self.radio) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/chirp/ui/bankedit.py", line 138, in execute mappings = self.__model.get_memory_mappings(mem) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/chirp/drivers/icf.py", line 544, in get_memory_mappings index = self._radio._get_bank(memory.number) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/chirp/drivers/ic9x.py", line 83, in _get_bank return mem._bank AttributeError: Memory instance has no attribute '_bank' Chirp was unresponsive after that. It happened after downloading all the bank A memories, it looks like Chirp is trying to read more memory locations than the radio has. Wenlock

[chirp_users] FW: Chirp not talking to radio - Ubuntu 14.04
by Wenlock Burton 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Hi, Just installed Chirp on Ubuntu 14.04 and can't get it to read anything from the radio. I have confirmed the cable works, both the RS-92 software and the Windows version of Chirp running in Wine can talk to the radio 100%. The USB to Serial cable is a genuine chip, not one of the fakes and works in Windows and Linux just not with the Ubuntu version of Chirp. It has also been used with the Icom Android app on a tablet and phone. All lines have Error in the Name field and no data is shown from the radio in any cell. Also, there doesn't appear to be any communication with the radio as the light on the adaptor doesn't light at any time. It lights when RS-92 is talking to the radio and when the Windows version of Chirp is talking to the radio. The com port is /dev/ttyUSB0, working with the other software but not with Chirp Ubuntu. If it's any help this is what repeats many times in the log file: Exception running RadioJob: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__' -- Exception: -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirpui/common.py", line 111, in _execute result = func(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ic9x_icf.py", line 63, in get_memory return ic9x_icf_ll.get_memory(self._mmap, number) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ic9x_icf_ll.py", line 123, in get_memory mmap = get_raw_memory(_mmap, number) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ic9x_icf_ll.py", line 47, in get_raw_memory return MemoryMap(mmap[offset:offset+size]) TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__' ------ Job Args: (25,) Job KWArgs: {} Job Called from: File "/usr/bin/chirpw", line 154, in <module> gtk.main() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirpui/memedit.py", line 1175, in <lambda> refresh.connect("clicked", lambda x: self.prefill()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirpui/memedit.py", line 1036, in prefill job = common.RadioJob(handler, "get_memory", i) Thanks Wenlock VK3YWB

I would like to save my files to iCloud Drive, but I can’t find a way to do this. I put a couple of files there and I can’t find iCloud Drive in the Open File system in Chirp. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Bilol WB4WTN

[chirp_users] Change Number of Channels To Display?
by bill＠riess.us 23 Oct '15

23 Oct '15

It has been my experience that the number of channels displayed will stay to the max for the radio if you do the following: 1 Download from the radio 2 Change displayed channels to "Show Empty" (optional) 3 Set number of channels to max number for the radio 4 Save the configuration to .img file Now whenever I open that .img file it always displays them all. Note this is on a Windows (10) machine. I currently run CHiRP version daily-20151020. Hope that solves it! 73 Bill Bill(a)Riess.us <mailto:Bill@Riess.us> Callsign: KW9WR

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.
