Hey guys, you are all awesome. Keep up the good work. I'm on my boat in Mexico, and have not been interested in chirp for 7 months. But even though I only get some coverage when I'm in port, I still read most of the threads. I do agree that it might be frustrating with newbe's but answers or links to the answer will help us all.

[chirp_users] Please!

When I joined this list, I expected to find tech- savy individuals working to enhance a great piece of free software. However, I keep getting digests filled with the total previous digest copied multiple times. If you simply clean up your reply, maybe include a relevant quote, and add a meaningful subject - some of us would be inclined to read it and help. - That concludes my vent. Please be brief and don't be lazy. CT No tree, hard or soft, has been harmed by the senfing of this email; but many electrons have been inconvenienced.

Hi David (and others), I'm using default Windows 10 coding/decoding. It works perfectly with almost everything I use, including Word, Access, Excel, Visio, Audition, Winamp, Firefox, EditPad, Paint, an AMR converter, Bulk Rename, and several Canon utilities to name but a few. It also works perfectly with older versions of several of the above. Emails in both directions via Yahoo! and MSN are no problem. I find incorrect punctuation in a fair number of 'Comments' made about various news items as well as the chirp-users messages. It has been suggested that the incorrect punctuation is because of data mis-handling by systems in other countries where the apostrophe is not recognised in their language and the question-mark is substituted at that point. I like that explanation, it fits in with the world-wide nature of Amateur Radio as well as news-item comments from all over the world. Such activities would be out of the control of both the sender and recipient. This has legal implications - the email that someone sends may not look like the email that is received, and therefore will be useless as evidence.

It seems that the entire Ubuntu Launchpad build computer farm is undergoing kernel patching for the recent Spectre and Meltdown Intel (and a few others) CPU problems. Other project groups have said.

[chirp_users] Linux PPA problem?
by Tom Consodine ND5Y 06 Jan '18

06 Jan '18

I'm using Ubuntu linux here and a couple days ago I got the new daily build available e-mail notice but I never got the new version when I did a system upgrade. Today I looked at the Chirp Launchpad PPA page and it shows the latest chirp-daily is 20180104 but then it says "5 packages waiting to build". Is the PPA broken or something? -- Tom ND5Y

To all who have been following the work on Wouxun KG-UV8E issue #3943. I uploaded a debug log and I wasn't expecting my username and password to be in plain text, so the entire issue had to be deleted. (Thanks Dan) The project is moved: Wouxun KG-UV8E KG-UV8T KG-UV8D Plus <https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/5481> https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/5481 73 David N1EA
