[chirp_users] MAC OS SIERRA (Tom Hayward)
by Eric Chopin 13 Jan '17

Hello Tom, Thank you for the procedure, though I am a bit reluctant to disable the SIP installed in the OS....I am not suggesting that there is some malware in CHIRP nonetheless the possibility will always be there. Lets assume I disable the csrutil to allow CHIRP to work, if I re-enable csrutil after I have run CHIRP, will this action prevent me using CHIRP again or will the OS remember that csrutil allowed CHIRP earlier on? Looking forward to suggestion 73's

[chirp_users] Installing Chirp-daily on Ubuntu 16.04
by randy strobel 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

Hi all! Last night I installed chirp (yesterday's daily, 20170111) on Ubuntu 16.04. I tried by adding the respiratory and running sudo apt-get install... from the command line and also by downloading the tarbal. Both ways gave me a 'locale not supported by C library...' message when I opened it. Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone help me with with this? Thanks,

[chirp_users] Kenwood TK-280 development starting, want to help?
by Pavel Milanes Costa 12 Jan '17

Hi to all, I'm working remotely with a willing user to get a serial log one of this radio (TK-280) and start the development of a basic Chirp's driver. My goal is to make at least a successful download/upload script and parse the general channel data for this model (TK-280), my experience points that making support for one member of the family will make trivial to extend it to the rest of the family; by looking to the OEM software the whole family could be: TK-780/880/280/380/980/981/480/481 Further development (beyond upload/download and simple channel data) will be very unlikely from my side as I don't have a radio at reach to test and hack at this time. *Side note:* I live in Cuba island, sending me a radio is not an option (yet), I must work remotely and some users must cooperate with me in the testing of this driver; I have done that before is hard work but works, the BTECH and brothers radios support for chirp was made this way with the great help of Jim Unroe. Users of the Kenwood TK-280: if you like your radio supported please upload some portmon logs to the below issue (link), instructions for doing that here: http://chirp.danplanet.com/attachments/2257/how%20to%20portmon.doc The main thread/issue of the development will be this: http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/4395 73 Pavel CO7WT

[chirp_users] Tone frequencies disappearing
by chris p 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

Hello to the group, I searched the FAQ site but could not find this question..I am programming the uv-82hp. When I put in the receive freq, name, tone squelch, both tone frequencies, and so onthey remain in their respective spots. But when I start to input the tones in the next line down, the tone or tones from the previous line disappear. I have to re put them in but the same thing happens with the current column. Thanks in advance for any help on this. 73's, de wa6cp-chris - - - 1 Attachment - No Preview

[chirp_users] MAC OS SIERRA
by Eric Chopin 09 Jan '17

Greetings, I am running MAC Os SIERRA and have just downloaded the latest CHIRP. After decompressing the file and clicking on the CHIRP app. i get the usual security warning that MAC will flag. After I acknowledge the flag and accept the software download, when I click on the CHIRP icon nothing happens....no CHIRP ! SIERRA already has the RUNTIME installed so that would not appear to be the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks 73's

Re: [chirp_users] Off Track.

I really, really am not trying to be rude. Sorry, but blaming OS X is very unhelpful. CHIRP worked fine and now it doesn¹t and this is an OS issue? Rhetorical. Unless someone can assist me, actually, assist, I would just as soon have no response. The idea was to just report a bug seen in OS X. If the problem is not going to be fixed, say so or, preferably, don¹t say anything, please. Skip Horni >Message: 1 >Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2017 23:25:22 -0600 >From: "Mark H.
