[chirp_users] Version , power level not saved on GT-3TP
by Ceferino Lamb 02 Dec '20

02 Dec '20

Howdy, Just installed CHIRP daily-20201125 and did a minor mod on my Baofeng GT-3TP. That minor mod was only to lower default trx power on one freq in memory, and rev my version counter. The mod to power level won't take. I tried twice. Anybody BTDT? -- K7CRL Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

[chirp_users] Issue with latest build and Baofeng GT-3TP
by Ceferino Lamb 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

I updated today and made a minor mod to my HT, lowering default tx power on one of my stored freqs. That failed to store the mod on HT, no error msg. Tried twice. Failed. Then back in the truck I found that I could no longer hear other HTs in our convoy. So I reset the HT, uninstalled the latest CHIRP build on my w10 box, went back to daily-20201014, re-uploaded file to HT, and all is working fine again. -- K7CRL Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

[chirp_users] Python 3
by Matthew Poletiek 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

Hi Everyone! Huge fan here and Gentoo Linux user who recently found out the chirp package was removed from the main repository due to depending on pygtk which (as far as I understand) has no Python 3 support. I'm willing to help fix any ways I can so I can continue to receive updates in Gentoo. Does anyone have more information, are these assumptions completely out of date, or is there already a bug/feature I can support? Thanks! ------------------------------------------- Matthew Poletiek 303.810.9082 matthew.poletiek(a)gmail.com www.matthewpoletiek.com

This papers over that failure with the statically-defined value, but ideally, we'd just replace the dynamic check with a static number. However, this fixes the build, and is the least amount of change.

[chirp_users] CHIRP and VX-6: impossible to upload from Mac
by Giulio Marchi 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Hi all, I am quite new to this community so greetings to everyone. Downloading from the radio to the Mac goes just smooth. On the other hand it is impossible from OS X to upload an img file to the VX-6 since it deeply crashes OS X and the only solution is to press and hold the power button (chirp-daily-20201014 and High Sierra). I detailed the issue while updating this bug https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/5543 but I was wondering if anyone had similar issues or has some bright ideas. Thanks, Giulio
