The case looks like my UV-XR, but that does not mean anything. Mike, WB4TTZ -----Original Message----- >From: "Nigel A.

[chirp_users] No USB Port Error
by Glenn K0LNY 22 May '20

22 May '20

Hi, I just got a new used radio, a Kenwood TH-F6. So I plugged in the radio using a non-Kenwood cable and I went into "radio" and download from radio and selected my radio model and USB0 and I get the message: error no 2 cannot open tty/usb0 error cannot locate tty/USB0. or something similar. I have used this cable and that Ubuntu with Chirp in the past for my other radios, and other than different brands of radios, I have always been able to do this. I know a guy who has done this to this model using the Baofeng cable using a different software in Windows, not the Kenwood software, but one that they purchased. I don't recall the name, but I think it starts with an R. At any rate, I'd sooner buy a Kenwood cable than that other software and keep using Chirp. Hopefully I didn't get it mixed up with the Radioddity cable. I thought I had the right cable with the Radioddity when I sent it off. I don't know if they put the name of the associated radio on the cables, since I'm Blind. But any who, would this be an error for the wrong cable? Thanks. Glenn

I think you need to visit the main Chirp website, and get the PPA details, then add that to your system. https://launchpad.net/~dansmith/+archive/ubuntu/chirp-snapshots Chirp Daily, is not distributed by Ubuntu, but by their own PPA. 73.

[chirp_users] Pyenv and CHIRP
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 20 May '20

20 May '20

Hi CHIRPers, I was going to submit something about pyenv separately but I mentioned it in a post about Ubuntu current. The application pyenv which allows using specific versions with certain programs. I'm trying to get that very program working to allow me to use python 3.7 on a distro SLINT (Slackware) that only has python 2.7. I've gotten pyenv working nicely, but I'm having problems installing slpkg a new unofficial package installer. Haven't mastered yet, but I'm stubborn. I'm sure the devs know other means to keep CHIRP working but I just heard of this, it gives a particular program the python environment it needs and a shortcut with environmental settings can be put in ,profile file. 73 David N1EA

by Richard Setford 20 May '20

20 May '20

Hi, I'm running Linux Mint 19.10 with CHIRP daily-20200516 and it would appear that my Baofeng T-57 isn't supported by CHIRP. Can this radio be added please or is there a workaround? Thanks, Rich

[chirp_users] Using Python 2 and Python 3 in Linux
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 18 May '20

18 May '20

Various versions of Python can be used in Linux. These instructions were for Slackware, but I suppose they work well in other distributions. Install pyenv as root: 1. cd /root 2. curl -L https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer/raw/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash update your .bashrc (or create it if not exists) and add this: export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH" eval "$(pyenv init -)" eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)" load the new .bashrc with source .bashrc now install the python version that you want like: pyenv install 3.7.2 (you can have multiple versions installed at the same time) (you can check for the available versions with: pyenv install --list) Switch to the new version with: pyenv global 3.7.2 and run slpkg. When you finish with it you can switch back to your original python with: pyenv global system And finaly check for the available python versions in your system with: pyenv versions (the first 'system' means the python that is installed by your system) For example this is from mine: root@lab:~# pyenv versions system 3.1.2 3.5.5 * 3.7.2 (set by /root/.pyenv/version) References: https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv It seems that pyenv only reports the python versions installed into it. My system python is: Python 2.7.17 73 David N1EA
