[chirp_users] Can't program Kenwood TM-G707 using CHIRP and FTDI cable from valley-ent.com
by mbmcmahon＠aol.com 15 Sep '18

Problem: I can't program Kenwood TM-G707 using CHIRP and the FTDI cable from valley-ent.com When running the "Download from Radio" menu command, I am getting stopped by an error message in CHIRP: An error has occurred could not open port COM3: [Error 5] Acccess is denied I am experienced with CHIRP and the Kenwood TM-G707 is listed as a supported radio. I have had success with Baofeng radios and Yaesu radios with both BTech and valley-ent.com FTDI cables. Valley-ent sent me a replacement cable...same error message. I confirmed the Com port assignment in Device Mgr (Win 10 and 7). I have tried installing the latest drivers and have tried installing the old 2007 drivers. Have experimented w. 3 different Win 10 computers and one Windows 7 machine. HELP, please and thank you. - Mike Mc -

Can anyone tell me if this is compatible yet (BF-F8+)? I haven't gotten it to work with chirp for the last year or two that I've had it? Works perfect with the UV-5RA

Good morning, first I introduce myself, I'm Pedro from Esapaña and I do not know English so we'll use the translator. I have an Excel list of areas in my area, which can be accessed in a forum site that can be copied from Excel and paste to Chirp, I have tried but I do not know how to do it. Could you tell me in more detail how to do it? thank you very much

[chirp_users] Error uploading to radio Baofeng BF-888S
by Juan 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Hi, I had an error uploading to radio, but as I'm not sure if it's an error or something I did wrong, I wanted to ask before opening an issue. What I did: 1. Clone from radio. 2. Import from stock conf --> EU LPD and PMR 3. Selected only PMR from 1 to 16, and used those numbers accordingly. 4. Upload to radio Then this error appeared: ERROR: Exception running RadioJob: list index out of range ERROR: -- Exception: -- ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/common.py", line 116, in _execute result = func(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/h777.py", line 503, in get_settings self._memobj.settings2.sidekeyfunction])) IndexError: list index out of range ERROR: ---------------- ERROR: Job Args: () ERROR: Job KWArgs: {} ERROR: Job Called from: File "/usr/bin/chirpw", line 149, in <module> gtk.main() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/mainapp.py", line 503, in cb_clonein self.do_open_live(radio, tempname="(" + _("Untitled") + ")") File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/mainapp.py", line 428, in do_open_live eset = editorset.EditorSet(radio, self, tempname=tempname) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/editorset.py", line 148, in __init__ editor = settingsedit.SettingsEditor(rthread) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/settingsedit.py", line 71, in __init__ job = common.RadioJob(self._get_settings_cb, "get_settings") Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/settingsedit.py", line 219, in _build_ui raise Exception("Invalid Radio Settings") Exception: Invalid Radio Settings ERROR: -- Exception: -- ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 254, in run self.__radio.sync_out() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/h777.py", line 306, in sync_out do_upload(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/h777.py", line 225, in do_upload _h777_write_block(radio, addr, BLOCK_SIZE) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/h777.py", line 182, in _h777_write_block "to radio at %04x" % block_addr) RadioError: Failed to send block to radio at 02b8 ERROR: ---------------- ERROR: Clone failed: Failed to send block to radio at 02b8 ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: Failed to send block to radio at 02b8 --- ERROR: None ERROR: ---------------------------- Thx!

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

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-20180815 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #536 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make support matrix radios clickable and linkable #0 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add Radioddity UV-5R EX and GA-5S #6023 and #6025 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Stash chirp version in image metadata This makes us save the current CHIRP_VERSION into the image metadata when we write it out. This is helpful so we can determine if the image was generated from a newer version, especially if we fail to load it. This makes mainapp not put up a detection dialog if the image has metadata (since we would know exactly which driver to use if we could), and specifically mentions that the image was from a newer version if we detect that case. This also stashes the loaded metadata on the radio in case it's useful later, but does not yet let the driver modify it (at least, modified metadata will not be saved). Related to #5995

Re: [chirp_users] Chirp on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Well, CHirp is actually supposed to open as a window with no content. The content doesn;t show up until you read from a radio, open a file, or import from the various sources. With regard to using the PPAs, I'm far from an expert, but my first guess would be that you need to uninstall the chirp you got from the ubuntu software stre befire attempting to use the PPAs.
