Re: [chirp_users] Can't write FT-2800M
by José Luis Artuch 29 May '12

29 May '12

I suspect not, this interface does not work well with ft-2800m ... I make the following connections: RJ-12 connector (FT-2800M) TS connector 3.5 mm (interface for FTH-2009, FTL-2011, VX-200, etc.) Pin 1 PTT/CLONE <------------> Tip Pin 3 GND <--------------------> Sleeve It worked well to read but not to write. Reading http://www.g4hfq.co.uk/links.html and http://www.g4hfq.co.uk/download/g4tic.pdf, I think the problem may be in the interface. Bas Helman (G4TIC) says "... So far I have tried three circuits one with no success another with partial success (it communicated in one direction only) and the one documented here with complete success. ...". Maybe I should build the interface G4TIC suggests to try again. Thank you Dan !!

[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build now available
by Mike Heitmann 29 May '12

29 May '12

All, Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available in the KK7DS Ham-Apps yum repository. To add the repository as a software source, please follow these instructions: http://www.d-rats.com/component/content/article/30-d-rats-yum-repository/ I know it says d-rats, the chirp files are in the same repository. After setting up the repository, open the "Add/Remove Software" tool and go to "software sources" under the system menu. Make sure the "KK7DS Ham Apps Beta Software" line is checked (enabled). For some reason, the Fedora package manager likes the beta versions better that the daily builds, so you may not see the daily release in the list the first time you update. If you don''t see it, open a terminal window and enter: yum update chirp-daily_20120529 Or: yum update chirp-daily_20120529-1.fc16 That should install the latest daily build. For those who don''t wish to use the repository but still want the RPM (binary or source), please look here: http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/noarch/chirp-daily_201… http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/SRPMS/chirp-daily_2012… Fedora users should be aware that Fedora Core version 17 (fc17) is about to be released. Fedora Core version 17 RPMs for CHIRP and D-RATS may be found at: http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/17/ Happy Testing, Mike, N0SO

by José Luis Artuch 29 May '12

Hello !! I use Debian 6 (squeeze) and I'm trying to program a Yaesu FT-2800M. I read it, but when I try to write it, this tells me "ERR 15". I have done several tests (including Windows XP). I use the same interface with which I program the handys FTH-2009 and VX-200. Can anyone help me ?. Thank you very much !! zenbaki LU6ENY

[chirp_users] RepeaterBook
by Dave Marzetti 28 May '12

28 May '12

When I try to use the Repeaterbook option, the list of states is limited to only US states whereas their web access also includes Canada. Is this limitation in the access afforded external programs or is it something internal to CHIRP? If it is internal, could the access be changed to include the Canadian provinces as well, please?

[chirp_users] Chirp - Yaesu FT-987D
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 28 May '12

28 May '12

Hello, I tried Chirp both for Windows XP and for Linux / Ubuntu. Since the version in the PPA for ham radio in Ubuntu is not the latest, I installed from the compressed file on the chrip web downloads page. I also downloaded and installed the Windows exe and installed it on the same laptop - dual booting into Windows XP or Ubuntu Precise. I am using a G4ZIP dual usb interface - it does CAT and Sound Card modes. In Windows it uses COM4 and under Linux it uses /dev/ttyUSB1 although /dev/ttyUSB0 is also available but I think that's the external sound card in the G4ZIP interface. Both versions don't list the Yaesu FT-897 so I used the Yaesu FT-857 US Version instead. I tried the Linux version - no luck downloading - I got the error was expecting 4 something and received 0 error message. I noticed I could set to ;/dev/ttyUSB0 or USB1 but I could NOT set the baud rate which is 38,400. In Linux I looked at the devices: ls /dev/ttyUS? -l I saw they belonged the group dialout so I added my username to group dialout using sudo adduser username dialout and logged my user out and rebooted the system. No luck. I tried putting the FT897 into memory mode when starting, and I tried leaving it in VFO mode. Is there something I'm missing? 73 David J.

[chirp_users] FT-7900
by Scott Currie 27 May '12

27 May '12

Hi All, I have been assisting new Hams with programming their radios, and have had good success using Chirp, however today I ran into a problem with a FT-7900r, which I believe is supported. When attempt to download from radio, I select Yaesu, but there is no FT-7900 available in the model pull down. Am I missing something here? -Scott
