Removing the old package and installing the new one worked, but there should be a more "efficient" method... This worked: jon@jon-notebook:~/Downloads$ pipx list venvs are in /home/jon/.local/pipx/venvs apps are exposed on your $PATH at /home/jon/.local/bin package chirp 20230531, installed using Python 3.11.2 - chirp - chirpc jon@jon-notebook:~/Downloads$ pipx uninstall-all uninstalled chirp! ✨ 🌟 ✨ jon@jon-notebook:~/Downloads$ pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20230601-py3-none-any.whl installed package chirp 20230601, installed using Python 3.11.2 These apps are now globally available - chirp - chirpc done! ✨ 🌟 ✨ Any way to upgrade on a flagged system like Ubuntu 23.04 in the future without removing the old one first?

[chirp_users] Bug report
by Michael Schwabe 01 Jun '23

01 Jun '23

Hello, First, I'd like to thank the team that created and maintains this great program. Such a useful tool. I'd like to report an issue with the program where the row height in the memory display is not sticky when the font size is changed to large font. If the large font is set and the program is exited, when reopened the larger font is displayed in the narrow height, cutting off the bottom of the characters. Thanks. -- Best Regards, Michael

[chirp_users] Upgrading CHIRP on Ubuntu 23.04?
by Jon Gauthier 01 Jun '23

01 Jun '23

When trying to follow the upgrade instructions on the ChirpOnLinux page, there seems to be an error or some information missing. "Once chirp is properly installed, upgrades to newer versions are done with two simple steps: 1. Download the newer .tar.gz file. 2. Run pip install --upgrade ./chirp-<version>.whl (use pipx if you used it above)" Since I'm running Ubuntu 23.04, I used "pipx" to install the latest CHIRP. Today, a new version came out so I downloaded the latest .whl version and ran "pipx install --upgrade ./chirp-20230601-py3-none-any.whl" But pipx doesn't have a "--upgrade" option to the install verb. If I try pipx without the "--upgrade" option, it tells me: 'chirp' already seems to be installed. Not modifying existing installation in '/home/jon/.local/pipx/venvs/chirp'. Pass '--force' to force installation. Should I "install --force" it? "pipx reinstall" doesn't work, since the new version isn't installed yet. Should I remove the old package "chirp 20230531" first then install the new one using: "pipx install --system-site-packages ./chirp-20230601-py3-none- any.whl"? Jon Gauthier - KB1HTW

[chirp_users] some 10 meter memories not working
by K0LNY 24 May '23

24 May '23

Hi All, I have a Tytera 9800, which is a clone of a Yaesu 8900. I set up some memories that I put in with Chirp, from a CSV file, and only one of the memories below seems to work. When I key up on the others, it makes a sound like it is breaking the squelch, if I turn up the squelch, it beeps when I key up on all of the below channels, other than #198 in the below list. #198 is for a 10 meter repeater I am hoping to get into at some point. But can anyone suggest why the other below memories aren't working? Thanks.
