Hi all, I've just posted the next maintenance release for the 0.2.x series on the website. If you're currently running 0.2.1, then you should upgrade. Users of the daily versions have all of these fixes and more.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

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-04112012 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #59 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Add import from RadioReference.com. Feature #114 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix a long-standing bug in bitwise that prevented declaring structs in arrays of length less than 2 (including standalone structs). Lumping into Bug #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make the Edit->Copy operation package up the source radio's feature set and pass it to Edit->Paste, which can use it to do an import_mem() operation on the resulting memory object before pushing it into the destination radio. This makes a Copy-Paste operation behave exactly like a File->Import operation. It also fixes the case where you get silly warning/errors if you Copy-Paste between dissimilar radios. Fixes bug #113 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Change import_logic.import_mem to take just the feature set of the source radio, which is all that is really necessary and avoids needing a reference to the whole radio to do an import. Bug #113 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Rename chirp/xml.py to chirp/generic_xml.py so it doesn't conflict with the xml module. Required for Feature #114 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Okay, for real this time. Fix the FT-857 test image. #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add the FT-857 image back in that mercurial seemed to have lost... Related to #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Rename test images to be in line with the previous patch Minor changes: #93 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] [ft8x7] Changed names of radios with a better name schema and renamed test images accordingly Minor changes: #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [uv5r] Fix a bug in the previous 7-character names patch Fixed #115

*I think I read Chirp is written in Perl....I'm wanting to learn but I'm not a good self study. Any ideas? Friendly forums? **Alvin Koffman **When thou goest ... altogether on a smoke.. Let the heavens be glad Exodus 4:21;19:18; 1 Chr 16;31 KJV*

[chirp_users] RadioReference.com import in Chirp
by Tom Hayward 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

I have written basic support for RadioReference.com import for Chirp. Currently I can enter my zip code and import all the frequencies for my county that are in the RadioReference database. With a bit more work, I could improve this interface so that any group of frequencies could be imported, not just by zipcode. Would anyone use this? It requires a Premium Subscription to RadioReference. Most of their data are outside the ham bands, so this will be most useful for those of you with wide-band receivers supported by Chirp. If no one is interested, I won't bother putting any more time into this feature. Tom KD7LXL

I download latest version of Chirp 0.2.1 using win XP pro, set Com1 computer to 9600, and Yaesu 857d to same. My com1 works OK, using Ham radio deluxe. I can not get CHIRP to read or write? When trying to read I have about 4-5 memories programmed into the 857d and when I try to Upload them, , a widow pops up says CLONING, and than after awhile, am ERROR pops up.unab;e to read block, 00 expected 4 got 0.!!! when I try to write Click on a previously stored CVS file with 4 memories listed, , click on upload to radio, radio window comes up ,com1 Yaesu, CSV, click OK, nothing happens. Bottom right of Chrip screen , shows 0 completed getting memory 1000 Any help would be appreciated, . I could not find a User manual anywhere, or info on the mailing list. thanks rob n8rt -- Rob N8RT/B 10 Meter Beacon 28.245MHz Grid EM74xx North Georgia Web Site is: N8RT.COM "No Man is a Failure, who has Friends" From: It's a Wonderful Life

This will help avoid silly things like exceptions when value can be coerced to an int, but isn't and thus can't be used for bitwise-ops. Catch-all bug: #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Mark the development branch's version number accordingly Bug #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add a match_model() to the XML driver, since it is now being asked to detect itself. Fallout from #102 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Add example .hmk file to test images. #102 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Add import support for Kenwood *.hmk files. Feature #102 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Make CSVRadio::__grow() accessible from inherited classes, such as HMKRadio. #102 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Make CSVRadio::match_model() more generic so it works with HMKRadio. #102 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add a new FileBackedRadio subclass between CloneModeRadio and Radio This helps to distinguish between purely file-based drivers (such as CSV and XML) and a file-backed radio that can be uploaded (such as all the current clone-type radios). This also changes the logic in chirpui/clone.py that filters out drivers that can't be connected to an actual device. Related to Bug #102 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Add US FRS and GMRS Channels to stock_configs. #93 Changes for Build #56 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix more fallout from #102 in the XML driver

This is tested on the D7/D700, but speculative on the TH-F6A. Hopefully fixes #101 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [uv5r] Fix UHF limits to be 400-480Mhz Related to Bug #84 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] Support masked memories (affect whole ft8x7 family) Related to Feature #94 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix UV-5R setting of new (previously empty) channels Related to #84

The exception here is regular ICF files, which need to be driverized and then they can be done this way as well. Catch-all bug #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Further fixes to Baofeng cross tone support Fixes #65
