[chirp_users] Stryker Radio Request
by K0LNY 16 May '23

16 May '23

Hi All, I have a nice little Stryker SR 94 HPC 10/12 meter radio, and the Striker software is not fully accessible with my screenreader. I think Anytone has a clone of this radio, or vice versa, but none of the Anytone choices in Chirp read this radio. Would it be likely that this could become a choice for inclusion in the Chirp list of radios? Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Comm orts on the Dell XPS 13
by Archie Miller 16 May '23

I am still surprised at hoe "some" hams immediately become demeaning and arrogant; I'm grateful to see there are still hams who have that old Elmer spirit. My question dad been on the comm ports on the Dell XPS 13. After being demeaned, I contacted Dell Tech support. The Dell DOES NOT have comm ports any longer, having migrated to the NEWER interface. It has Two USB Thunderbolt 3 (Type-C) ports with Power Delivery. *Archie Miller* *w6alm35(a)gmail.com <w6alm35(a)gmail.com>* *www.OrcuttChristian.Org <http://www.OrcuttChristian.Org>*

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R+PLUS use BF-F8HP when connecting CHIRP... why?
by Jim Clark 15 May '23

15 May '23

Greetings, To my knowledge, the Baofeng UV-5R+PLUS is just a UV-5R with a metal plate holding the display on instead of the ultrasonically welded plastic piece. For the UV-5R+PLUS I saw that the main page of CHIRP recommends the use of Baofeng BF-F8HP which I noticed includes hi-med-lo power settings instead of hi-lo on the UV-5R+PLUS. I previously used UV-5R just fine and wonder why you don't recommend it instead? Or should your description on the main page say UV-5R+PLUS. Am I just misinterpreting your annotation of my radio should be UV-5R++? Jim

[chirp_users] Can't install on Ubuntu 23.04
by David Spoelstra 10 May '23

I'm following these instructions: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux $ pip3 install chirp-20230425.tar.gz error: externally-managed-environment × This environment is externally managed ╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to install. If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package, create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv. Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make sure you have python3-full installed. If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application, it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed. See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information. note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages. hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification. So I tried pipx: $ pipx install chirp-20230425.tar.gz Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file: /home/david/.local/pipx/logs/cmd_2023-04-25_11.52.02_pip_errors.log Some possibly relevant errors from pip install: ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement chirp-20230425-tar-gz (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for chirp-20230425-tar-gz Error installing chirp-20230425-tar-gz. Any ideas?

This sort of looks like the error you would get if it is interpreting the argument as a package name and not a file on disk. I just updated the instructions to be explicit, so try running pipx that way (i.e. with ./ in front of the filename). If that doesn't work, please show the exact command you're running and the full output. --Dan
