[chirp_users] Chirp next, Ubuntu 22.04 no download window
by Perneczky Miklós 10 Mar '23

Hi guys, I have a pair of BF888, I wanted to do some changes in their config after a long time. I run into the problem that my old cable with PL2023TA is not compatible with w11, the chirp next does not open any window on ubuntu 22.04 if I click download from radio, and if I install here the old chirp version, that downloads crap (loads my saved files also with bad data). Chirp next loads the saved config files correctly. I would like to focus on chirp next on u22.04 and make that work. If I run it from console, this is what I see, when I try to download from radio: myuseronmylaptop:~$ chirp-snap.chirp 21:19:40: Debug: Failed to connect to session manager: Could not open network socket 21:19:40: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file' 21:19:40: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file' 21:19:40: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file' WARNING: Did not find localedir: /snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chirp/locale Traceback (most recent call last): File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chirp/wxui/main.py", line 1166, in _menu_download with clone.ChirpDownloadDialog(self) as d: File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chirp/wxui/clone.py", line 225, in __init__ self.set_ports() File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chirp/wxui/clone.py", line 283, in set_ports system_ports = list_ports.comports() File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/serial/tools/list_ports_linux.py", line 102, in comports for info in [SysFS(d) for d in devices] File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/serial/tools/list_ports_linux.py", line 102, in <listcomp> for info in [SysFS(d) for d in devices] File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/serial/tools/list_ports_linux.py", line 48, in __init__ num_if = int(self.read_line(self.usb_device_path, 'bNumInterfaces')) TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a real number, not 'NoneType' Do you have any hint what I should try?

[chirp_users] New chirp-next build

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 #84 [3046399+kk7ds] Update es.po [3046399+kk7ds] Move alinco delays to earlier in the loop [3046399+kk7ds] Adjust TD-H6 valid bands up to 520MHz --

[chirp_users] chirp next UI locale
by Nick Kantarakias 07 Mar '23

Hello all, just a question before I post a feature request: in CHIRP next is there a way in UI to change the interface language? (at the moment it detects Windows locale and there is no way to change it other than deleting locale and po files) Thanks

[chirp_users] Need Help with Yaesu VX-3 and CHIRP
by Jim Overstreet 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

I have tried everything in the instructions and cannot get Chirp to communicate with the radio. As per the instructions, you turn the radio off, connect the USB cable, then turn on the radio while holding down the F/W key which puts the radio in CLONE mode which shows on the display. Then, you hit the band key and it tries to communicate with the radio. At first, it looks like it will work but after about 20 seconds ERROR appears in the display. I followed the instructions just as shown when you start the process, but always get the ERROR message. Just wondering if anyone has had success with the VX-3? WHat am I doing wrong? Thanks, Jim, WA5DXP

I plugged a Baofeng programming cable into a laptop running Windows 11 but Win11 does not have the drivers to support it. Anyone have a programming cable that works on both Windows 10 and 11? Regards, Anthony (N2KI)
