Hello all, I have an issue with Chirpinstalled on my Win7 Home Premium computer. In all cases after installation of several versions and daily updates I can not start Chirp, I receive only an error window "Error reporting is enabled" and when I click "OK" nothing happens. On my Win8.1 pro computer all is running well. Do you have any suggestion hów to help? 73! George OK2KG

Is there not a tried and true Prolific drivr from the files section of Chirp? That is unless the device is FTDI based. Not sure if there is a preference driver for those. Canes.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

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-20150303 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #331 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] Fix style issues in ft1d.py This patch brings ft1d.py into conformance with PEP8 rules and removes it from the blacklist. improves #2355 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] Fix style issues in ft857.py This patch brings ft857.py into conformance with PEP8 rules and removes it from the blacklist. improves #2355 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] Fix style issues in ft817.py This patch brings ft817.py into conformance with PEP8 rules and removes it from the blacklist. improves #2355 [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Use logging in chirpui/*.py (#2347) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Use logging in chirp/*.py (#2347) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Use logging in chirp[cw] (#2347) [Richard Cochran <ag6qr(a)sonic.net>] Support new model Yaesu FT-2900R, new driver ft2900.py (#358) This adds driver ft2900.py to support the Yaesu FT-2900R radio. At this time, support is limited to the 200 standard memories. No banks, no settings, no band edge limits. Driver is loosely based on FT-2800 driver, with some code borrowed from VX-7 and FT-60 drivers. A sample .img file is being e-mailed to the dev list in a separate email. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in tools (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in fips.py (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in reporting.py (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in miscwidgits.py (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in memedit.py (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in memdetail.py (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in mainapp.py (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in importdialog.py (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in editorset.py (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in common.py (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in settings.py (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in bitwise.py (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in chirp module (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in bandplans (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in pyPEG.py (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in elib_intl.py (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in chirp_common.py (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in make_supported.py (#2355) Like run_tests, this script monkeys with the path to find the chirp modules, so it gets a similar exception. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in csvdump scripts (#2355) [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in unit tests (#2355) The memedit unit tests needed an exception, as that module uses a lambda to fake localization when importing the UI module. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix style issues in run_tests (#2355) The run_tests script contains logic to set the path for importing the chirp modules. This violates the style rule that all module-level imports must be at the top of the file, so I added it as an exception for this file. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Allow cpep8.py script to make exceptions (#2355) This patch enhances the cpep8.py script with the ability to ignore a list of style rules on per-file basis. There are cases where it may be too disruptive to eliminate all style issues, so this mechanism allows the style checker to enforce the remainder of the style rules. The new --strict option will cause the script to ignore the exception list. As a bonus, this change improves interactivity, so --verbose will cause the name of the file to be printed as it is checked (rather than printing one long list before it started). The downside: the pep8 module catches KeyboardInterrpt, so it's hard impossible to stop once it gets started. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Fix bad lambda conversion in platform.py (#2355) ... and today I learned that python's lambda expressions have an implicit "return" statement, while defs don't.

[chirp_users] UV-B6 was BFf8hP

Hi dwsexton > I a baofeng uvb6 when i try to from the radio download with chirp or with theoem software i get radio did not ack > programing ) i have tried chirp and it does not show uvb6 but when i read the help list it says to use the uvb5 to > read and write from radio i have use 4.0 and 4.1 daily build both give the same results i have checked the usb > driver and it is set and i am using the port it is set to any advice would be helpfull. You are correct to use UV-B5. Sadly the new Firmware versions of UV-B5/UV-B6 are not supported by Chirp. There is a patch that remedies this, but as far as I know it has not been added to any official Chirp build. You can use the official Boafeng SW to download the image, and then rename it to the name used by Chirp, import it to chirp, make the changes, save, rename back and upload via Boafeng SW. I hope that Chirp will soon add support for those newer UV-B5/B6 Firmware versions. It seems that the Radio changed its identity marker, and is no longer correctly identified by Chirp. The one line patch floating around seems to remedy the situation. (At least the newer UV-B5 is recognized and fully programmable) CU, Ricsi

Hi people ! My name is Castilhos (from Brazil) and I'm a user of some HT Radios (Baofeng) for near communication. Well, someone know SYC-777S HT and how to communicate them with CHIRP ? I like to sync with my other radios. Or, if anyone have a list of channels (frequencies) ... Sorry if my first message is for a question. Thanks in advance !

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20150301 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #330 [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Update cpep8 to use pep8 1.6.2 (#2355) This patch updates the virtualenv version of pep8 to 1.6.2, chasing down the new style errors that pop up in the already cleaned files. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Add cpep8.sh wrapper script (#2355) This patch moves the virtualenv setup out of run_all_tests.sh, allowing cpep8.py to be run on its own with the correct module versions. This patch also moves the virtualenv temporary directory into tools/ and adds it to the .hgignore file. [Zach Welch <zach(a)mandolincreekfarm.com>] Improve cpep8.py (#2355) This patch expands cpep8.manifest to contain all files, allowing the cpep8.py script to use it instead of scanning for files. Scanning can now be done with --scan. If both --scan and --update options are given, the manifest file will be updated with the scan results. Altogether, this should fix problems that Windows users were seeing, caused by mismatches between the dynamic manifest and the blacklist (due to different path separators).

Now that the expanded UV-5R Service Settings for Squelch are accessible through CHIRP (thank you!), does anyone have recommendations for good settings there? Thanks. Michael, W1NBV
