Thanks for the advice. I removed the existing installation of chirp-daily using the Synaptic Package Manager (despite the fact that it was reporting the installed version as the latest 20160116~wily~1). I then searched for any files on the computer that had a name including chirp using the Files app and deleted them using terminal and sudo rm (-r) in the folder where they were found. (Some seemed to belong to previous installations of chirp.) I then did a fresh installation of chirp-daily listed under Amateur Radio in the Synaptic Package Manager. Chirp-daily now reports the correct (and latest) version in its About window. It remains to be seen what happens when the Software Updater offers the next version. (I have the chirp-snapshots ppa listed in Other Software in the Software & Updates panel.) Hopefully it will now report the version installed.

[chirp_users] 92AD Reading memories
by Wenlock Burton 23 Jan '16

OK, seems I had an intermittant loss of connectivity, got it to read the bank data for A and this is the error report in terminal: 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._bankAttributeError: Memory instance has no attribute '_bank' 799 is the last valid memory in the 92AD 'A' band so something in memory mappings maybe?

[chirp_users] IC-92AD - Reading memories
by Wenlock Burton 23 Jan '16

Hi, I worked out how to edit the driver file and changed to 799 to match the radio. Now it reads to 799 and displays Completed getting memory 799 (idle) in the status bar Memories (Band A) has been read but the error report is: Exception in thread Thread-9: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 40, in execute self.__editor.mappings.append((mapping, mapping.get_name())) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/chirp/drivers/ic9x.py", line 59, in get_name banks = self._model._radio._ic9x_get_banks() File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/chirp/drivers/ic9x.py", line 233, in _ic9x_get_banks banks = ic9x_ll.get_banks(self.pipe, self.vfo) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/chirp/drivers/ic9x_ll.py", line 530, in get_banks rframes = frame.send(pipe) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/chirp/drivers/ic9x_ll.py", line 174, in send raise errors.InvalidDataError("No response from radio")InvalidDataError: No response from radio Hmm, seems that 849 could be in other files?

[chirp_users] IC-92AD driver script
by Wenlock Burton 23 Jan '16

23 Jan '16

Hi, I realised I needed to be root to get into the Chirp folders in terminal, issued sudo -i and typed my password. Cool. Changed 849 to 799 and saved. Testing Wenlock

[chirp_users] Thanks Guys
by Wenlock Burton 23 Jan '16

23 Jan '16

Hi, I was trying to get to /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/chirp/drivers/ic9x.py in terminal but the chirp folder did not appear to be in the python2.7 folder. I tried ls -a but there were no folders listed in the output. ls -ad should have shown it but again nothing. As long as I can find it in synaptic I can have a look at the code. Thanks for putting up with me. Wenlock

[chirp_users] Where are the Chirp driver files in Ubuntu
by Wenlock Burton 23 Jan '16

23 Jan '16

Hi, I'd like to have a go at seeing if I can spot the issue in the IC-92AD python script but not getting anywhere finding the files. If anyone can give me a direction I'd much appreciate it. Thanks Wenlock

Does Chirp have programming capabilities for an Icom ID-5100? I have been trying to get an answer to this question all week. 73's Gary Merschdorf KD8RMT

Has anyone built an interface for an Icom IC-T7H, I've had one for years and programming it from the key pad is OK, just thought there might be something even easier W2ZDP

[chirp_users] modification to G4TIC programming interface for FT7900
by Jon GrosJean 23 Jan '16

The adjustable level control is not needed because there is a 4.7K pull-up to 5V inside the radio. The attached circuit works fine.
