[chirp_users] Roger beep on a per channel basis
by Sam Phillips 06 Jun '22

06 Jun '22

Is there anyway to put a Roger beep on certain channels but not others on the Baofeng UV-5R? I've looked and looked and only seen how to put a PTT-ID on per channel. Could there be a way to do it through developer options? Any help is appreciated, Sam

Here's my CSV file if anyone cares to see what the problem might be. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "K0LNY_Glenn" <glenn(a)ervin.email> To: "Discussion of CHIRP" <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Sent: Saturday, June 04, 2022 5:10 PM Subject: No Channels Found Hi, Maybe someone can look at my CSV file for me. I'm trying to import a CSV file into my TYT 9800, and I have a CSV file with almost 200 entries, and when I import, it says no channels found. I'm using Windows with a screenreader, so I am limited to what I can manage. Fortunately Chirp brings up the last radio I accessed, otherwise I would have a very hard time routing cursors to try and select the radio in the list. But I use the Jaws cursor to read a dialog box that comes up when I paste the path to the CSV file and enter. For screenreader users, or anyone else in windows, shift + applications key and then press the letter A on your file to import, outside of Chirp, and the path to the file will be in the clipboard for pasting. Browsing in the Chirp program in windows would be another challenge, that is why I do it this way. All this was easy in Linux. Anyway, thanks for any assistance. Glenn

[chirp_users] Using chirp with ubuntu 22.04
by Guy Schlosser 03 Jun '22

03 Jun '22

Hey everyone, I am new to this list, so first off hello. I am trying to get chirp running on my system. I am running Ubuntu 22.04, with all packages current. Chirp is installed via apt, as using snap or flat pack renders it inaccessible with Orca. The problem, when I download from my Baofeng Uv5r, I get an error that says module ‘collections’ has no attribute callable. Is anyone running Chirp successfully on Ubuntu 22.04? I know that Python 2 is no longer supported. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much in advance, Guy JAWS Certified, 2021, https://www.freedomscientific.com/Training/Certification

[chirp_users] Flatpak
by John KI4RO 02 Jun '22

I keep seeing references to this program but how I should use it is not at all obvious to me. I've tried asking it for help and even asked it for help with certain commands but none of it makes sense to me. I am not Linux literate by any stretch so please tell me step by step what to do. 73 John KI4RO.

[chirp_users] CHIRP Flatpak Accessibility
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 02 Jun '22

Glenn, I don't know if TEAMVIEWER is accessible, but if it is, I volunteer to help you put frequencies on your radio. I think probably that everything is working on your flatpak installation on the latest CHIRP but flatpak isn't accessible. This is a flatpak problem, not a CHIRP problem. 73 David N1EA On Thu, Jun 2, 2022, 12:49 AM K0LNY_Glenn <glenn(a)ervin.email> wrote: Hi Cinead, I did that, and after running that command, it came back with an error like no tail. When I tried to run Chirp, it read something like gtk error A few lines about gtk, but I could not copy it. My screenreader could not review it. For DJ's suggestion: Does CHIRP run if you issue this command as regular user in a terminal: flatpak run com.danplanet.chirp Seemed like it did, but it only read Chirp As Superuser and it seemed like the window for chirp was there, or an error window for chirp, but it did not function.
