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 #53 [3046399+kk7ds] Record Yaesu FT-65E as working [3046399+kk7ds] Fix inability to edit bank index [3046399+kk7ds] Fix test infrastructure for radios with subdevs [3046399+kk7ds] Make editorset use a Treebook for many subdevs [3046399+kk7ds] Add Kenwood TK-7160, 8160 support [3046399+kk7ds] Add Retevis RB28B - fixes #10324

[chirp_users] Icom IC-80AD HT - Assigning Channel Banks
by Doug Scoda 27 Jan '23

27 Jan '23

Hello all, >From the best I can figure, the IC-80AD is similar D-Star version of the ID-80H. I can use the ID-80H profile to download and upload memory channels to my IC-80AD. I see the Memories Group, Bank Group and Settings Group. All channel memories, Banks and Settings match the radio. >From the radio keypad I am able to create Banks in the IC-80AD and add memory channels to those banks. The bank entries get populated with an index number. When I scan in bank mode, all is well and it works as intended In Chirp, when I try to assign a memory location to a check box in the Banks tab, the bank check box is assigned, but the bank index number is defaulted to zero. I can't figure out how to edit the bank index numbers on those entries. If an unindexed bank is uploaded to the radio, the banks do not scan, Am I missing something on how to edit the index numbers? -ds

[chirp_users] What's next for CHIRP
by Dan Smith 22 Jan '23

22 Jan '23

Hi all, I'd like to announce the availability of what I'm calling the "CHIRP-next" build for the new year. If you're not aware, some of the libraries that CHIRP depends on have been orphaned such that CHIRP was a bit stuck in time for many years. Overcoming this obstacle required a lot of changes to CHIRP's core, drivers, and the GUI has had to be completely rewritten as a result. This has been a ton of work, and we still have a lot left to do. However, it's time to rope you, the users and power users, into the effort. Several of us have tested hundreds of radios over the last few months getting ready for this, but we need your help to flesh things out. Over 90% of the radios that get used most often with CHIRP have been tested, but there are still plenty left that need to be confirmed (or fixed). Similarly, the GUI has been tested fairly well amongst the developers at this point, but there are surely still plenty of bugs to find and fix. Ultimately, this new build will become what is today the "daily" builds, and the current version of chirp will be renamed "legacy". As of now, all new development is being done on the "next" builds and only critical bug fixes will be considered for legacy. If CHIRP-next works for you and your radios, we want you running it as soon as possible. I've put together a page that describes in more detail why we're having to do this, how you can help, and what to look for and report: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpNextBuild Also, here's a page that describes some of the changes you can expect in the new version: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpNextBuildChanges While we're not doing this specifically to add features, the "opportunity" to redesign some things has allowed us to add some improvements. Further, being on newer dependent libraries has allowed us to add some features we never had before. If you're on MacOS or Linux, you will almost certainly want to be running the new build immediately. It uses modern dependencies and also behaves much more like a native application on all platforms. We really need your help testing and vetting this new version, so if you feel comfortable, please consider giving it a try and letting us know what you run into. I'm getting the word out here to the users groups a little early, before we start offering it on the download page specifically. Feel free to forward this to your own groups, facebook pages, etc to get more visibility than just the users here. You can find the CHIRP-next builds here: https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/download?stream=next As always, you'll want to stay up-to-date with these, as things have been moving fast! --Dan
