[chirp_users] FT8900R Upload Issue

The log should show > a successful download, followed by two upload attempts. > Hmm, that is kinda strange. The result of the upload attempt looks like there is zero communication with the radio. > Silly question: You are pushing the button on the radio to put it into RX mode _and_then_ clicking the OK button on CHIRP to initiate the upload, right? > The radio has to be "good and ready" before chirp starts the upload and so it needs to be not just in the clone menu, but in clone receive mode well in advance of CHIRP starting anything. -- > Dan Smith Yes, the radio shows clone rx, before I hit ok. I'll try waiting longer with the radio in clone rx Before hitting ok.

[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available
by Mike Heitmann 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '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_02282012 Or yum update chirp-daily_daily_022820121.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_022… http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/SRPMS/chirp-daily_0228… Happy Testing, Mike, N0SO

I have a question for those of you using the Icom 92AD with Chirp.... Did you have to buy the Icom software package RS92 just to get the USB cable necessary? Brady K0UC

[chirp_users] FT8900R Upload Issue
by Jim Yates 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

I'm using a cable from Kawa on Ebay on Mac OS X Lion with the Open Source driver from http://sourceforge.net/projects/osx-pl2303/. I can download from the radio, but when I try and upload it errors out. I'm using the daily build from Feb 27th. The log should show a successful download, followed by two upload attempts.

[chirp_users] ICOM 92AD
by James E. Wells (KDØAJZ) 27 Feb '12

I understand that the GPS has to be turned off to use Chirp. However I can not figure out if it is on or off or how to turn it off. Anyone here have the ICOM 92AD? I have looked through the User Manual and it does not say anything about turning the GPS on or off. Thanks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- James Earl Wells KDØAJZ Blue Springs Amateur Radio Club Output 444.950 MHz Input: + offset PL=107.2 Hz Output 147.015 MHz Input: + offset PL=151.4 Hz Member ARRL Jackson County-Missouri ARES

Downloaded the latest build and extracted it and everything is working fine, just made some changes, added several repeaters and adjusted power several places and uploaded back to the radio and they worked. Ed
