Linux handles it gracefully (probably even the fake chips), and generally assigns it to something like: /dev/ttyUSB0 (number zero, not the capital letter O) You can type in the /dev/ttyUSB0 in the chirp dialog and it will remember it. For more indication what your system is doing, run one or more of the following. There are probably more elegant ways to see but I haven't had my coffee yet... dmesg | grep tty ls /dev/tty* -- Jason Carr http://www.mousetrap.net/mouse/

Geoffrey, No driver needed. USB serial devices are detected by the kernel. It's very easy. Just edit the /dev/ttyS0 to /dev/ttyUSB0 or 1 whichever was detected. Do a ls -alt /dev/ttyU* in a terminal window to find which device it used after you've plugged in the cable. You'll get something like this: crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Jul 27 16:18 /dev/ttyUSB0 Make sure your user is part of the dialout group to avoid having to run Chirp as root.

Hi there, Well, I got CHIRP to work fine with my handy little Baofeng UV-5R on Windows XP. [well done fellows !!] I now have it running on UBUNTU, except it looks for a tty(x) driver, and I use a USB cable. What do I have to do so that I can use this cable? Do I need a Linux driver? And if so, where do I get one? Thank you a lot, Geoffrey Geofrey K. Phillips gphillips13(a)centurylink.net WD4LYO

[chirp_users] How to install Development builds

Here is a direct link: ... > Of course, that date/link will change when there is a new build available. Does anyone else see any value in symlinks on the server that would point to the latest directory/builds? IMO it could simplify project documentation and would simplify scripting solutions to pull the the latest version programmatically on non-*buntu platforms. The most recent example would be: daily-latest/ --> daily-20120724/ chirp-daily-latest-installer.exe --> chirp-daily-20120724-installer.exe chirp-daily-latest-win32.zip --> chirp-daily-20120724-win32.zip chirp-daily-latest.app.zip --> chirp-daily-20120724.app.zip chirp-daily-latest.tar.gz --> chirp-daily-20120724.tar.gz Under this model this kind of URL would always be valid: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-latest/chirp-daily-latest… This all assumes the dailies are published by a script that would be amenable to automagically updating the symlinks (delete the current links and make new ones to the new dailies). If it's done by hand then return on invested effort would be much less. -- Jason Carr http://www.mousetrap.net/mouse/

Ok then I guess I don't see the daily builds. The stable version is a single installer.exe file where do I get the new versions. Sorry I should have a clue but I seem to be missing something. Thanks, Dave KA2OQZ

I just discovered the Chirp application and I'm trying to figure out how to install the development versions on Windows. Do I just select the chirp directory and copy the newest file into the installed directory or am I suppose to get everything from re-install. I don't see any instructions for a non-developer like me. Thanks, David KA2OQZ

[chirp_users] Programming Wouxum KG-UV6X
by KG4RUL 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

If I download from the radio using parameters: Port COM3 Vendor Wouxun Model KG-UV6D everything works great. I have prepared a .CSV file formatted to the CHIRP requirements. I can successfully import the file. When I try to upload that file data to my Wouxun KG-UV6X, this window appears: Port COM3 Vendor Wouxun Model CSV (note - this value is greyed out and not changeable) I click on OK and nothing happens.

[chirp_users] Kenwood TM-281a works, too
by chirp.fratermus＠spamgourmet.net 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

The Kenwood TM-271A appears on the Supported Radio Models list. I have just hooked up a TM-281A (newer model of the same radio) to the stable release and it appears to work fine. IDed by chirp as a 271 and works in "live mode" like the 271. If there is anything I should test before adding it to the Supported list let me know. -- Jason Carr http://www.mousetrap.net/mouse/
