[chirp_users] YAESU 857D results
by Ed Stewart / KB3WRX 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

Good Morning, I tried the windows XP box and there is no selection for the Yaesu 857D so I picked several other models and got instant errors, I use linux ubuntu of this laptop and installed the latest build on here and get the exact same error on this machine as on the desktop running the same os. The menories in the radio were set using the windows Yaesu software by a friend, maybe there is a problem with the one memory block on the radio, the download is almost complete when the error shows. here id a screensot.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '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-02252012 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #26 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix Icom 7200 driver for integral hertz change (long ago) and also update it to work with the recent changes to the Icom CI-V driver [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add Icom IC-7000 Support Note that the 7000 is an atypical radio for HF and VHF/UHF support. It does not store things like per-memory offsets, for example. However, this should be fairly complete otherwise, in terms of the commonly-used functions. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make MemoryMap.__str__ return the packed form [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix the memory editor to not assume a radio supports FM as a default mode and also persist the mode across edits (so new memories take the mode of the last edit by default)

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-02242012 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #25 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add Icom ID-31A support This is imperfect because of the increased complexity over other D-STAR radios, but it should be close enough for most people. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Extend the ICF cloning code to support radios with large memories. This includes (at least) the ID-31 and any other radio with memory size greater than or equal to 0x10000 bytes. Also fix .icf file import. Also, tweak the echo cancellation code to work with the ic-rx7 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add valid_dtcs_pols list, basically so we can support receive-only devices [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make chirp.py work with dynamic registration

With Linux, open in home directory: gzip -cd chirp-daily-XXX | tar xfv - I then move my old saved rig files to the new directory or one could just save the rig files in a separate file and always save to that separate file. When happy with the new build, delete the old one.

[chirp_users] Quick Question
by James E. Wells (KDØAJZ) 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Will CHIRP have the ability to program the somewhat new Baofeng UV-3R HT? The reason I ask is that the software that you download is not all that great. I use it for my ICOM IC92AD and love it. So I am hoping to find out that CHIRP will be able to program this made in CHINA. Thank You James -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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

[chirp_users] Mac OS X Drivers
by Jim Yates 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

I bought a cable from Kawamall on EBay. In order to get CHIRP to work with my MacBook Pro and Yaesu 8900R. I used the 0.1.13dev version of Chirp. I had to install drivers from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/osx-pl2303/

[chirp_users] Please help me program my radio
by Judy 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hi, I'm brand new to radio, just bought a Wouxun Dual band 2M/440 or 2M/220, and need help programming it. I have a Mac, but no cable. Wouxun says they don't know about Macs, but their cable requires a driver. They suggested I find a prolific USB driver somewhere, or ask CHIRP for help. I had found you through the downloadable programming tool on the Oro Valley Amateur Radio club. But you say my radio can be programmed with a little extra effort. What kind of extra effort? And should I buy the Wouxun cable that needs a driver? Does your CHIRP programming tool contain a driver for an iMac? Or is there someone who has this who would be willing to help me through his/her PC or mac? Thanks a whole lot. Judy 742-0911

[chirp_users] Alinco DR-135T Reset
by Kevin Pietriyk 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hello, I have an Alinco DR-135T (MkI) that is stuck in "Channel" mode. I can download/upload data to the radio, but I need to reset the radio to "Frequency" mode. This needs to be done in software, as Channel mode locks out button resets. I had a DOS program that would change radio settings, but it does not work with the new USB cable I have. CHIRP seems to not have a radio settings dialog. Any advice? I can program the radio with CHIRP, but I'd like to be able to enter frequencies in the VFO if needed. 73, Kevin N3UPM
