[chirp_users] to save or not to save
by Bear Albrecht 09 May '13

09 May '13

We don't have to be stingy with disk space nowadays. I save everything (well, almost everything) and I append date & time strings to file names for version history. One time I didn't save, although I wanted to, was when I was programming a mobile, and wearing pants with a fair amount of synthetic fiber, which especially in our dry climate equals static zaps. At one point I stuck the mouse in my pocket and it lost it (but later recovered); I had finished modifying the program in the radio but couldn't save it since the laptop was going wacko. Which I discovered when I went back inside and tried to save. But the radio was OK; I just had to read it back out the next time the guy was around. This is when I switched to a cordless mouse. ;B -- Bear Albrecht W5VZB It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it. -- J.

[chirp_users] Icom IC-V80 compatibility question
by Clint Talmadge 07 May '13

07 May '13

I have an Icom IC-V80 which is not listed on the list of Supported Radio Models on the Wiki page, but is listed on the "overview of what features are supported for each model" page. May I assume that the more extensive list is correct and that the program will function with the V80? Clint - W5CPT -

[chirp_users] Fixed icon finally
by Marty Hartwell 06 May '13

06 May '13

Hi For any that have been following my attempt at finding how to get the CHIRP icon to show on my desktop. It turned out to be real simple and I must have found it when I first started using Chirp but forgot how to get it. The way I solved it as I said is simple, I looked in the Applications Menu and in there I have "Hamradio" and under it is my three ham radio applications. All I had to do was click and hold and draw down to the desktop and a launcher was created, with the icon showing the little serial plug. So manually creating the launcher does not find the icon, so I am happy at this point and yes I guess it is a little thing but that must be a little part of me that is OCD, and I just have to live with it.

[chirp_users] ftm-350 programming
by m3uon 05 May '13

05 May '13

Hello I would like to thank you first for an excellent piece of software. It works really well for most of the radios I have used it with. I was trying to find the archive to see if this has been discussed already (unsuccessfully), and finding none thought I should bring it up. I am currently trying to programme a Yaesu FTM-350 using a daily build (from yesterday, 27th April). It seem to do a very good job, except for the fact that when reading from the radio, it changes all the symbols (like :, ;, >, etc.) into a single back-tick (`) rather than retaining the original symbol programmed to the radio. Not sure if it can write back -- have not tried that yet. Will post once I get the chance. Thanks again for the hard work. Regards Shah
