[chirp_users] testing

Hi Dan- I installed the 8/17 daily build of CHIRP and gave it a whirl. On the FT-2800m, I was able to download a file from the radio and the data looks fine. I was able to export to .csv and .chirp without error, but could not upload the .img file back to the radio. No error message, it just did not work. The upload to the radio did work with the 8/11 build. On the TH-K2, I was able to download a file from the radio and the data looks fine. I was able to export to .csv and .chirp and I could modify the file "live" and correctly download the file with changes back from the radio. So this one seems to be working pretty well as far as I can tell. On the IC-W32A, I was not able to download a file from the radio. It gave an error "class IC9xICFRadio has no attribute '_model'". See below. I'd saved a .img download off the radio from the last session and I was able to upload that .img file to the radio. Thanks, Jim Givens KJ7F

Dan- I'm planning to spend some time this evening testing with the FT-2800m, THK2, and W32A and will let you know what I learn. Also, I recieved a programming cable for my Kenwood TM-271A, so I am planning on sending them to you soon so you can figure out the protocol. This is the radio that's going in my CJ-7. Any time you want to do a new release is fine by me. Thanks, Jim Givens KJ7F

[chirp_users] DR-135
by Stephen Black 17 Aug '11

I downloaded from the radio and changed a couple frequencies from wide to narrow. I then uploaded the file. The upload did not change the setting to narrow. I downloaded the radio again and the file showed the original file without the changes. I am using XP latest version and a usb cable (generic). It had no effect on the power settings. Steve KB1CHU PS 12:03am EST here. I am crashing good nite!!!

[chirp_users] Need help with an Alinco DRx35 radio
by Dan Smith 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Hi all, I need some help from someone with an Alinco DRx35 radio (DR135, DR235, DR435, etc). I need to know if the Mode (FM/NFM) setting in chirp is properly reflected in your radio, or if it seems to toggle the power level instead. Also, if you could send me an image where the "scan skip" flag is set on one or more of the memories, that would be very helpful. Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] Release 0.1.12 soon?
by Dan Smith 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Hi all, A lot has changed since the 0.1.11 release. Many bugs have been fixed, five new radios are supported, and plenty of core application features have been added. I think it's about time for an 0.1.12 release to the "masses". What do you think? Is anyone sitting on a particular bug or missing piece of functionality that we should address before making a release? Please, let me know what you think! Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] testing new CHIRP with new radios
by jim gibbens 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Hello- Dan has kindly added two new radios to the list at my request: the Yaesu FT-2800m and the Kenwood TH-K2. I also have an Icom W32A and have been testing CHIRP with it. I'm using the 8/11 daily build. My approach to testing is as follows. 1) Use CHIRP to read a "known good" parameter set from the radio and see if the data appears to be correct. 2) Use CHIRP to write the same file back to the radio and see if the radio works as it did with the original parameter set. 3) Use CHIRP to create a common file and write it to all three radios and verify that the radios works correctly with the new file FT-2800m CHIRP appears to pass Step 1&2, have not tried 3 yet TH-K2 CHIRP appear to export the Tone field from the radio correctly, but does not export the Tone field from the radio download to csv or chirp files; in those export files, the Tone field is left blank. IC-W32A The Tone fields as imported by CHIRP from the radio are all changed to 67 Hz, unless the tone is 67 Hz, in which case the Tone field is left blank. I've attached the .img files as downloaded from the radios, the chirp file exported after the download, and .mcp and .icw32 files from the Kenwood and RT systems programs that I have used for the THK@ and W32A in the past. Regards, Jim Givens KJ7F

[chirp_users] IC-92ad
by bRADY PALMQUIST 13 Aug '11

13 Aug '11

I'm trying to use Chirp with an ICOM IC-92AD, OPC-1797 and a Kawamall OPC-478 cable. First of all, is that the right hardware? If I use version .1.10, it will run and look like it's getting memories, but they are all blank. If I use version .1.11, it says something to the effect of "Can't determine radio model" I've tried it on my XP and Windows 7 machines. Drivers seem to be loaded OK. I have the GPS settings disabled...(Tx mode and auto tx). What else should I check? Is there a debug or test option available? Brady K0UC
