14 Aug '18

Greetings, On Windows 8.1 and UV-82HP, I've been getting a Windows File Corrupt error whenever I attempt to reopen any saved file. Installed a previously working version, 8-11 and still the problem remains. Ideas/suggestions? Marty, a new user

Where do I find a step by step to use CHIRP on my Baeofeng hand held?

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-20180809 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #532 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix some style regressions that snuck in Related to #5997 and #3425 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add mock to the unit test environment Fixes the tests for #5995 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add metadata blob trailer transparently to image files This makes FileBackedRadio transparently save image files with an extra blob of metadata tacked onto the end of the file. The metadata region begins with a magic string followed by a base64-encoded json blob. I figure we can call all images created up until now "version zero" format, since they really aren't formatted at all. Any major format changes after this can increment the counter in the magic (although it's unlikely we would need to). The metadata currently saved includes the radio model details and the class used at the time the file was created. All existing images will still load, but when they are saved, will be augmented with metadata. Note that this will mean images saved from newer versions of chirp will not be readable by older versions which will be confused by the metadata. One major feature this brings is the ability to make radio aliases (and other weak subclasses) be "sticky" across save/load cycles. Right now if you download with an alias (such as the Arcshell AR-6 alias of the BF-888), the file will be detected and reported as a BF-888 from that point forward. With metadata in the image, we can properly select the alias on load to provide better UX. This includes some low-effort tweaking of the directory and clone code to select the right radio class based on metadata if present, and to properly return a radio class for the alias, if one matches. We might want to re-structure the alias class arrangement after this to make them properly-registered and fully-functional subclasses so that the hacky DynamicRadioAlias subclassing done here isn't necessary. Also note that the generic saving code will not append metadata for filenames not ending in .img, to preserve behavor for .vx5 files, etc. If a filename forces a non-standard file extension, the metadata will not be added and the result will be effectively the same as the older format (which then may not be loaded properly if it is mis-detected as a different model). Closes #5995 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add some convenience features to the module loader: - Mark the background of the main window red once a module has been loaded - Allow loading a module from the command line for easier testing - Allow a .mod suffix #5997

[chirp_users] Tri Band Radio
by IT1 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Dan, et alia: I am interested in getting an inexpensive HT that is Tri-Band and decent. Now, if anyone is a technical purist about specifications I already realize that any of the sub-$100 HTs are not going to come close to the ICOM 52A or something like that. I am considering to get an HT that is inexpensive and not something I will cry over if I drop it or it gets lost/stolen, whatever. However, with the forgoing in mind, I want to try to pick the best one that I can, so I am curious about everyone's ideas. Moreover, I surely want something that is compatible with Chirp and to get or make the right kind of cable for it. The one radio I looked at so far was the BaoFeng UV-5x3 (I own no 220 radios, so it'd be fun to have that capability too). I am driving cross country soon and don't have any radios to take with me (they are all in the east coast). Once I get there I will have some ICOM radios (ICOM 5100A and an ID-1 installed). Again, I am not out to start a "religious war", just get some opinions from people about (obviously) programmability (keypad and via computer) as well as day to day function and experiences. I appreciate in advance everyone's comments. 73, Stuart, N3GWG

Thanks for the link. I have read the info. But the error does not appear to be a driver, port, or cable problem. I was really looking for a reason for the error in order to troubleshoot further.
