[chirp_users] Posted as a Bug...or maybe it's not?
by Sandy Bressler 07 Sep '20

I can setup my channels on the computer and print out a screenshot of what I have done. Then I send the data to my radio and it is successful for everything but the DUPLEX settings of - or +. I have tripled checked what Chirp says I wrote to the radio and it doesn't match what I see when I look thru the MENU option of 25. For example, Channel 18 should be - and on my Chirp setting it says that...but when I check the radio MENU setting (manually) it shows +. The worst part is that if I change it manually...then it changes OTHER channels. It only seems to be a problem for the Duplex setting...the frequency remains ok, as does offsets. Also, I follow strict guidelines to turn the radio off and on and be sure it's on VFO mode when I activate CHIRP etc. Am I missing a setting to LOCK IN a DUPLEX - or + perhaps?? Sandy

[chirp_users] Python 3 port
by Greg Shuflin 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

Hi, I'm a relatively new user of Chirp. I like the software and I'm interested in contributing to porting it to Python3. I notice that there's a py3 branch that hasn't had any new commits since February. I spend some time trying to get that branch to run on my system without success, and I'm not sure if it's expected to work in either Python2 or Python3 at this point. In any case, what's the best way to contribute to moving it to Python3? Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

[chirp_users] Enable the Settings Tab in CHIRP?
by Benjamin 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

Hello, I've been looking at some of the CHIRP tutorials on YT, and I notice that some radios like the Baofeng UV5R have a settings tab where global radio options can be set. I've set up CHIRP to work with a Yaesu VX-120 (using the vx-170 menu option - only a keypad difference between the two models) and can download\upload without issue, but I was wondering if I should be seeing a settings tab on the left. Not all radios seems to have this tab. Is it an optional developer feature, or can it be enabled? Nothing in the user manuals on this unless I've missed it. Either way, I like the software. Thanks.

by Joel Lautzenheiser 02 Sep '20

02 Sep '20

I have been reading the posts about installing chirp on LM 20 and am a bit confused. I'm not really good with the terminal yet and am not having luck fixing the install issues. My biggest issue is that I'm not real sure how to get to the sources file to change it.Is there a way to do a step by step instruction that will help me with this, please. Thanks much Joel K4DKX Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
