[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available
by Mike Heitmann 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '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_daily_03072012 Or: yum update chirp-daily_daily_030720121.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_030… http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/SRPMS/chirp-daily_0307… Happy Testing, Mike, N0SO

[chirp_users] VX5 trouble
by Tom Hayward 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

I added a few new repeaters to my Kenwood TM-D710 and wanted to copy them to my Yaesu VX5. Here's my process: 1. Download from radio TM-D710 2. Export to CSV 1. Download from radio VX5 2. Import CSV So far things worked fine. I successfully imported memories 501-516 from the D710 into memories 201-216 of the VX5 tab in Chirp. 3. Upload to radio VX5. Now I put the VX5 in memory recall mode and look for memories 201-216. They're not there! However, if I try to create a new memory with the VX5, the VX5 shows those slots are taken. 4. Download from radio VX5 I cloned VX->chirp again to see if the new memories had at least been stored, even if they could not be recalled. They are there. Apparently the VX5's memory recall function just doesn't like something about the bits. 5. Change mode of memory 201 from NFM to FM 6. Upload to radio VX5 Thinking maybe the narrow option was confusing the VX5 (I don't believe it's a narrowband-capable radio), I tried changing NFM->FM to see if it would be able to recall the memory. This time I got CLONE ERROR on the display and the radio appears to be in factory reset condition. I figure I can just restore it to an image I created last week... 7. Open vx5.img 8. Upload to radio VX5 No luck. I got CLONE ERROR on the display, and this in the terminal: "Clone failed: Radio did not ack block 1" Maybe the VX5 has failed? Let's try something simple... 9. Download from radio VX5 10. Add memory 1: 146.52 11. Upload to radio VX5 I am able to recall memory 1 as 146.52 in the VX5. I'm not sure what to try next. I can provide img files if needed.

Has there been any daily builds today? I have not been getting any notices saying so. Hope I am not missing out since I am trying to get this thing to work for me. I am hard headed enough not to let this thing beat me.

[chirp_users] Kenwood TH-F6a
by Terry 06 Mar '12

My first time at using this application. I just downloaded Version 0.1.12. It came up just fine. When I tried to download the memory from my Kenwood TH-F6a, I get the error message stating the the radio is not supported. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need a later release? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[chirp_users] Release Soon
by Dan Smith 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hi all, Although it may not seem like it from the recent thread on Windows GTK weirdness, I think chirp is stabilizing enough for another release. There have been a huge number of changes, improvements, and bug fixes since 0.1.12 was released in September. All of the bugs that have been opened on the website that are targed for 0.1.13 have been fixed, so I feel like we're getting pretty close to that point. If you have anything else that you think needs to be addressed before 0.1.13 please speak up, otherwise I'll tag and post the release in a couple of days. Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS
