[chirp_users] no drivers found for UV-S9 programming cable
by bob＠tyroneflats.com 15 Apr '21

15 Apr '21

Bought a new UV-S9 which did not include a cable. The promised software was not included however there was a link in the user's manual (http://www.abree.com/downloads) which takes you to a "Buy This Domain" site. I bought a cable from Amazon, a "Tenway Baofeng USB Programming Cable Win 7/10, 64Bit for Baofeng Radio UV-5R, BF-888S, H-777 with Driver CD" but Win 10 (64 bit) cannot find any drivers. Cable shows up in Device Manager as "Other Devices / USB Serial" with no COM port assignment identified and properties says "There are no compatible drivers for this device". Anyone else encounter anything like this or can you offer insights into how to get this radio programmed? Thank you all very much!

[chirp_users] no drivers found for UV-S9 programming cable - solved
by bob＠tyroneflats.com 15 Apr '21

Found a guide online that pointed me to tenwayradio.com/download-center with instructions on installing the CH-340 driver. Downloaded, unzipped, and ran the program and voila! I now have COM3. Next step is loading local repeaters into CHIRP. BTW, this is supposedly a tri-band but it won't allow freqs on the 1.25 M band??? Thank you for the responses. Sorry I didn't find this sooner!

[chirp_users] Import for BaoFeng UV9r
by Jerry s 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

Hi all, I’m a new user of CHIRP. I hooked my radio to my Mac and had no problems reading the config and exporting it to a .csv file. I then updated the .csv file as per the attached file. I’m getting an error saying no channels. I’ve included the original export to CSV as well as the file I’m trying to import (Merged V1) . Any clue would be appreciated.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20210406 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #646 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add a brute force test for model detection The regular per-image model detection tests are not very well-suited for sussing out issues with one image being detected as multiple models, and it can be fooled if the right one is returned first from the directory. This adds a new unit test that runs through all the images and tries to match_model() every driver in the directory against them, asserting that not more than one matches any given file. Also included is a fix to make the unittest adapter use helpfully- named test images and makes the existing Detect test report the filename of the image it is trying, for easier debug. #0 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Move rt21 match_model() up to the base class The RT21 lineage has a match_model that clearly intends to be on the base class (as it checks for model==RT21), but is actually present only on the last subclass in the file. I'm sure this was an accidental detaching after the original implementation. After the driver maintenance (related to #8957, #8661 and #8959) the detection test started noticing this, probably just due to an ordering change. [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT76] Retevis RT76 This patch adds support for the Retevis RT76. Related to #8959 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RB26] Retevis RB26 This patch adds support for the Retevis RB26. Related to #8661 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RB17A] Retevis RB17A This patch adds support for the Retevis RB17A. Related to #8957 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT21] Driver Maintenance: retevis_rt21.py This patch is prepare the driver for adding additional radio models. 1: fixes some incorrect code 2: reformats some code 3: allows CHIRP to make 5 attempts at putting radio into programming mode. Other than for number 3, no features or settings have been added or removed from this driver. Related to #8957, #8661 and #8959 [Rick DeWitt <aa0rd(a)yahoo.com>] [icomciv] Add IC-7300 Live Mode support, Issue #4013 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [AT-778UV] Add support model variants that include VOX This patch adds support for the new model variants that now include VOX: Anytone AT-778UV VOX 3.0 Retevis RT95 VOX 2.0 fixes #8859 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [AT-778UV] Add anytone778uv.py driver to cpep8.manifext This patch adds the anytone778uv.py driver to the cpep8.manifest in order to enable style checking. related to #8859

Re: [chirp_users] Debian Chirp Daily

Still working on getting a current version of CHIRP on Debian Stable. Here's the latest. flatpak uninstall chirp Found installed ref ‘app/com.danplanet.chirp/x86_64/master’ (system). Is this correct? [Y/n]: y error: Remote "chirp-origin" not found I have tried to install (or reinstall) chirp using flatpak and I've been confused and unfulfilled. I did find this script on this page https://piratesinteepees.org/installing-chirp-in-ubuntu-20-04/ ##### #!/bin/bash # # # This script updats chirp flatpak to latest daily build # Add this to root's crontab for automatic updates # If run as standard user, you will get a popop asking for admin password # # #Make download folder if doesn't exist mkdir -p ~/Downloads/ChirpFP #Move to Download folder cd ~/Downloads/ChirpFP #Remove previously downloaded flatpaks rm *.flatpak #Pull link from download page and download latest flatpak wget `lynx -dump https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/ | awk '/http/{print $2}' | grep flatpak` #Install the file flatpak install -y --noninteractive *.flatpak ##### I tried it, but alas, I still get the cryptic error: Remote "chirp-origin" not found I am still confused and lost.
