[chirp_users] Windows 11
by Archie Miller 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

Stumped. Windows 11 apparently doesn't have the [ports which were in W-10, and it's not intuitive to add new ports. I had been using CHIRP with a Yeasu FT-60R and a Baofeng. Suggestions? *Archie Miller* *w6alm35(a)gmail.com <w6alm35(a)gmail.com>* *www.OrcuttChristian.Org <http://www.OrcuttChristian.Org>*

[chirp_users] CI-V port flow control RTS on DigiRig
by K5CG 10 Apr '23

10 Apr '23

Hello all, I am not new to CHIRP but I'm setting up a new laptop and trying to manage memories on a (new to me) IC-7000. I am using a DigiRig radio interface which has a built in sound card, CI-V port and uses RTS of the same COM port to key PTT. When CHIRP Next 20230409 reads the radio it asserts RTS on the serial port which keys the transmitter. RTS nor DTR are needed for CI-V so CHIRP should not assume that the port requires flow control. This should be the default for all CI-V based radios but a pair of checkboxes on the initial READ RADIO dialog to disable either RTS or DTR or both would also solve this issue. I don't see a configuration dialog where port parameters can be changed. In the meantime I can disconnect the 13 pin accessory connector on the back of the radio to prevent it from keying. 73 Danny K5CG

No. The device manager already says "Flow Control: None". The radio doesn't key until I start reading data from the radio. CHIRP is setting RTS high when it opens the port.

Try searching for "device manager", then examine the serial port connected to the radio by right-clicking on it and changing the port settings...

Re: [chirp_users] Chirp On Puppy Linux

The chirp download site and the linux instructions have all been updated in the last few days. https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download and https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux Dan and I worked together to iron those out for both the Ubuntu/debian versions and the fedora based versions, so those instructions should work on almost all current linux systems using python 3.
