[chirp_users] Chirp installation under Ubuntu error messages

[chirp_users] New chirp-next build
by donotreply＠chirp.danplanet.com 31 Jan '23

31 Jan '23

Greetings, A new build of CHIRP-next is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree since yesterday and may include additional features, bug fixes, etc. As a reminder, this is different from the "daily" CHIRP builds in that new development and features are happening here. It is the latest and greatest, but also may be less stable than the "daily" builds at this time. If it works for you, we recommend using CHIRP-next, but if your radio is not yet working on it, then you may prefer to use the "daily" builds for the time being. You can get it from here: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_next/ A list of changes since the last build are here: Changes for Build #56 [noreply] Wouxun KG-935G Call Code fix (#458) [3046399+kk7ds] Add the SVG logo to sdist, bdist_whl [3046399+kk7ds] Fix bank index test [3046399+kk7ds] Update btech.py to use mem.immutable - #10288

[chirp_users] Should I file a bug report - can't program a frequency in chirp that I can from keypad
by Doug Scoda 29 Jan '23

29 Jan '23

Please advise if this is an easy fix and I will generate a bug report. I am able to program into the IC-80AD (ID-80H) FM broadcast band frequencies such as 97.1. I can do so from the keypad or the Icom software. After a successful download and a test, the radio scans and receives the monitoring frequencies as expected. When I download the clone into Chirp, on the entries for the FM stations are errored out in RED in the memory number column. On right clicking and checking properties of the memory entry, I get the following text message box: `?2' is not in valid list: ['WFM', 'FM', 'NFM', 'AM', 'NAM', 'DV', 'USB', 'LSB', 'CW', 'RTTY', 'DIG', 'PKT', 'NCW', 'NCWR', 'CWR', 'P25', 'Auto', 'RTTYR', 'FSK', 'FSKR', 'DMR', 'DN', 'FSK-R', 'CW-R', 'Data+LSB', 'Data+USB', 'Data+FM', 'USER-L', 'USER-U', 'LSB+CW', 'USB+CW', 'RTTY-L', 'RTTY-U', 'N/A'] If I try to program via chirp 97.1 FM into a memory I get the following error even though it is in the valid frequency range of the receiver. Invalid edit: Frequency 97.100000 is out of supported range I get the same error when programming CB frequencies with chirp even though the radio is capable of monitoring that AM band.

[chirp_users] chirp-next for NixOS
by Tim Lavoie 28 Jan '23

28 Jan '23

Hello, There is a version of chirp-daily (20220823) packaged up as a Nix package for NixOS Linux. It does install fine, along with python 2, but fails since there is a third element when it splits the version number. I thought I'd prefer to try out chirp-next anyway, and then not need python 2. Has anyone tried wrapping it up as a Nix package yet? (There isn't one in the nix repo.) Cheers, Tim

------------------------------ >>* Am I missing something on how to edit the index numbers? * >Yes, you're missing the step where you click on the index in the GUI and change it to something sensible. However, your query made me realize that this was broken back in December and nobody noticed until now! I imagine maybe you clicked a couple (thousand) times on the index thinking maybe you could change it, and assumed you were missing something else. My apologies :) >Can you file a bug? I'll get a fix cooked up for tomorrow's build. >Thanks! >--Dan Thank you Dan, the fix works exactly as expected. -ds
