I have a GT-3. In reading a post or an article, someone said Chirp can inhibit a channel to make the radio like a scanner. Where is that setting??? mike mccrann, wd0gsy tmmccrann(a)aol.com

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20150116 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #317 [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] [PATCH] Slight improvement to memory editor container This change simple encapsulates the memory editor scrolling window in an hbox to allow for smooth transition beteween the controls. Bug #2177 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Update CHIRP icon from Kosta Arvanitis Related to bug #2201 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] [FT-1D] Fix clone message Fix #2193 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] [KG-UV8D] Get/Set memory power level and NFM/FM was broken Fix #2137 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] [KG-UV8D] Set empty memory was broken Fix #2183 [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] [PATCH] UI Change to Settings Edit Window This simple change removes the uncessary padding of the treeview; as well as connecting the "changed" event to the treeview. By listening to the gtk event we are able to handle selection changes of the treeview which supports all input types and not only the left mouse click. Bug #2179 [K. Arvanitis <kosta(a)alumni.uvic.ca>] [BUG] Fix Range Exclusion Issue with Bank Editor Memory Bounds ranges are specified as inclusive of the first as well as the last; while python 'range' is inclusive of the first and exclusive of the last. As a result the BankEditor was not including the final memory slot within the devices capable bounds, this fixes the issue and aligns with the behaviour of the MemoryEditor. Bug #2175

Re: [chirp_users] Special Mode?
by David B. Horvath, CCP 11 Jan '15

Thanks. I'm aware of the limitations. I can program the frequency into memory directly into the radio but I'm looking to do that within Chirp. The program attempts to "protect" me. There used to be a method to change the limits by swapping out the control database for the radio but the architecture has changed and that doesn't work any more. I'd really like to be able to disable those checks. - David >On Thu, 8 Jan 2015 20:48:01 -0500, Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com> wrote: >On Thu, Jan 8, 2015 at 7:17 PM, David B.
