[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

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-20130402 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #183 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add bitwise browser when developer options are enabled This version allows editing of most of the arbitrary data. Note that since the only semantic interpretation of a given value at this layer is its format and size, much damage can be caused to the underlying image if care is not exercised Fixes #747 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make EditorSet handle multiple MemoryMapping objects This makes EditorSet create a generic membership and names (if appropriate) editor for each MemoryMapping object exported by the radio. This also includes a bunch of fixes for signaling changes to be propagated to each editor object when one of them changes. Related to #741 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make Radio able to return multiple MemoryMapping objects This lays the groundwork for things like Scan Lists. Start by just defining the new interface, making it call the old one, and updating import_logic and the tests to match. Related to #741 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix UV-5R PTT-ID to support A-D and *, # characters Fixes #745 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix some straggling bank interface issues The offending author should really run tests before pushing... Related to #741 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Abstract Bank and BankModel to MemoryMapping and MappingModel This is mostly just a search-and-replace for the above names, but makes way for supporting things like scan lists that behave exactly the same way. Related to #741 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Improve sub-device treatment in the UI This changes how CHIRP exposes devices with sub-devices to the user, moving from an strange per-sub-device top-level tab to minor tabs along the left. This means replicating the memories, bank, and bank names tabs once per sub-device. In order to prevent two radiothreads from trying to talk to the same live device at the same time, RadioThread is extended to take a parent thread, which it shares the same runlock with for exclusion. Fixes #739

[chirp_users] Chirp, RFNET Lookup, tones
by Serge Burjak 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

I am a VK amateur. I have a VX7, I have a subscription to rfinder.net . It appears to have correct information when I look at the web page. When I use CHIRP and online lookup, it downloads the repeater names, frequencies and offsets, but appears to set the tone to 88.5 and not propagate any of the correct ones, where there is one. I have tried some of the CSV formats from the web page, but they don't seem to go anywhere. I am a newb, could be my ignorance, but any info would be welcome. Regards. VK4SB

Hi Dan, I'm trying to opt out of the emails but I haven't been able to figure out how. I went to your website but didn't see any link that would help. 73, Howard Estes WB4GUD -----Original Message----- >From: Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com> >Sent: Apr 1, 2013 10:08 PM >To: Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> >Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Chirp, RFNET Lookup, tones > >> When I use CHIRP and online lookup, it downloads the repeater names, >> frequencies and offsets, but appears to set the tone to 88.5 and not >> propagate any of the correct ones, where there is one.

[chirp_users] FTDI USB Cables with non-default IDs (RT Systems, etc.)
by Robert Terzi 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

I added a page to the wiki with information on using FTDI cables that have been modified to use a non-default (proprietary) ID such as those from RT Systems. http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CableGuide_FTDI_OEM_Cables It can still use some work. In particular, I wasn't able to use NQ1E's trick under Windows XP to get it to use the FTDI VCP driver without touching the .inf files. The procedure does work under Windows 7 and possibly other versions. (The difference is that while both Windows 7 and XP detect that the cable ID doesn't match what's in the .inf file, Windows XP won't let you update the driver, Windows 7 will warn you but let you click through to proceed.) The only way I was able to get the RT Systems cable to show up as a COM port under Windows XP was to create a custom .inf file using FTDI's utility for making .infs. If anyone has a better way, I'd be interested in it. While I was adding the link for this page, I couldn't resist doing some editing of the main cable guide page: http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CableGuide Comments and corrections welcome.

Sigh. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add support for testing writes to bitwise unit tests And fix a buglet found in the process. Related to the tests added in #547 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] bitwise: add "bit" type for reading arrays of single-bit flags. #727 Example usage: struct { char name[8]; bit ch_enable_flag[128]; u8 unknown[8]; } scan_list[17];

Is there any way to convert the attached file which was exported from a Yaesu FT8800. I want to be able to tranfer the same set of frequencies to my other radios so that they all match. They are the ICOM 208H, Icom W32A & BAOFENG UV-5R thank you for all you guys do. I love the CHIRP software. ________________________________ From: "chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com" <chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Sent: Monday, March 25, 2013 3:27 PM Subject: chirp_users Digest, Vol 51, Issue 50 Send chirp_users mailing list submissions to chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to chirp_users-request(a)intrepid.danplanet.com You can reach the person managing the list at chirp_users-owner(a)intrepid.danplanet.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of chirp_users digest..."
