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-20120507 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #74 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [uv5r] Fix displaying invalid characters According to #161, the UV-5R software will insert a 0xFF byte in the name if it doesn't like the character you inserted. The radio displays this as a space, and thus we need to do the same. Fixes #161. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make the bank membership editor choose a better column to be the expander than taking the default last one. Fixes: #162 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] [FT817] Tone freq not set correctly Same as #88 for FT857, to avoid code duplication fix code have been moved from ft857 to its ancestor class Fix bug #163 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix remaining pylint *errors* in the chirp module Related to #159

[chirp_users] FT8800R problem when overwriting previously stored out of band frequencies
by Ray Smoot 06 May '12

06 May '12

I recently obtained a used Yaesu FT-8800R that had been used by a Ham that was involved in CERT and other public services. He was also a police officer and had lots of local municipal frequencies stored. I read the radio, then overwrote any out of band entries with local 2M or 440 MHz repeaters. Any changed entries previously in those ham bands worked fine (except for the skip feature being ignored). All of the entries in the 138 MHz range, that I overwrote with repeater frequencies, did not receive properly. The display showed the correct info but the receive was garbled. If I entered the same info manually, that memory location then received properly. I was wondering if CHIRP fails to change some mode setting such as AM? N4KJA

[chirp_users] Total Confusion
by Geoffrey K. Phillips 04 May '12

04 May '12

I have just started using Chirp with my brand new Baufeng radio. I am using a TYT usb cable with a suitable adapter routine, which sets up COM4. Communication with the radio seems fine. I can upload and download. However, I am having a terrible time trying to get a list input to Chirp. I have tried importing .tpe files, and get errors relating to difficulty with some floating point numbers. I have tried with .csv files made with excel and get errors saying there are no channels. I have even made changes to the data in an .img file (XML), and get told it's an invalid format. Also I am not sure that I really understand what all the columns are in the main display. Please what am I doing wrong? I would love to know. And is there any documentation available? I sure can't find any. Thank you for your help. Geoffrey. Geofrey K.

> 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_20120504 > Or: > yum update chirp-daily_20120504-1.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… > > Happy Testing, > > Mike, N0SO

Re: [chirp_users] chirp_users Digest, Vol 40, Issue 30

Hi Dan, My apologies for the lack of detail. 1. Windows XP 2. Tried "Device Manager" to make sure I had the correct com port selected. A couple of times, it would show "Com 3" for example when it really was on Com 4 according to device manager. Just making sure I didn't have a Com Port selection problem. 3. First, I installed the driver from the Chinese USB cable supplier, which says it is a "Prolific"2303 All-In-One" Then tried Woxun's "Windows "USB Driver for XP" with the same result, and finally Woxun's "When All Else Fails" driver. 5. Not sure where to find the debug log. Excuse my ignorance. Chuck Same error message each time.

I have Chirp installed, and a USB-Baofeng cable from China (where else?). In spite of trying several drivers and com ports, I always receive a "Radio did not ACK first command" (or similar) from the software. Help, please! I've looked through the FAQ's, etc. and find nothing. Chuck
