[chirp_users] Unable to upload to VX-5R
by Ira Fuchs 20 Apr '18

20 Apr '18

I am using the latest chirp build on Mac with a Yaesu VX-5R. I have no trouble downloading, therefore I assume the cable and driver are working properly. However I am getting a repeatable Clone Error about 2/3 of the way through (based on the progress indicator). I used brew install to get chirp. The terminal looks as follows: Mac-mini:.chirp ihf$ chirp /usr/local/Cellar/chirp/20180316/libexec/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/ui/mainapp.py:1973: Warning: invalid cast from 'GtkMenuBar' to

If you've already installed Python3, don't worry, just install the latest V2.x as well. (If Apple will let you.) Regards.

I never could get the setting to show in the latest chirp build in both the Linux and the windows version. I used the live cd version 2014 and could see everything. -------- Original message -------- From: Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com> Date: 4/13/18 15:33 (GMT-06:00) To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Subject: Re: [chirp_users] settings not shown in latest builds On Fri, Apr 13, 2018 at 4:25 PM, Joe Creel <aj4ck1(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi; > > I have just subscribbed to this list, and I have a problem, hope you can > help.

Download from it. If that fixed the out-of-range setting, then you will see the Settings. Once that is successful, you can then "import" your saved image with the out-of-range setting into this tab. Make any other settings change and upload it into your radio. If that doesn't fix it, email the image to me and I will take a look at it.

[chirp_users] Alinco DJ-10X
by raymond reese 14 Apr '18

14 Apr '18

Has anyone considered the adding of the Alinco DJ-10X to the list of supported radios? I have one, but it seems to be a bit of a problem programing it, considering all it's features. Are there any recommended sources for buying a better antenna and battery packs, both sealed and for individual batteries? Also, if someone offers a good price, I may even consider selling it.

[chirp_users] Lesson Learnt
by Dennis Green 12 Apr '18

12 Apr '18

Good morning, I spent about 40 minutes last night with CHIRP and my FT-817ND. Each time I tried to download from the radio, the radio would give me an error message. I checked the connections - all fit snuggly! Try again - error! Started up the other PC in the shack - connected the cables and ran CHIRP - radio says error. And then the light went on! Fruit Cake was using the FT-8800 cable on the FT-817ND - and it don’t work!! ☺ Got the correct cable, connected it up and everything was purring along - no problems!
