Re: [chirp_users] side by side configuration is incorrect

I've never seen it before, but I'm not a Windows person (like, at all). You shouldn't need to install any dependencies to run chirp, but there are basic things on the system that are expected to be there and working, like the C/C++ runtimes. If those are broken on your system, then you'll have issues. The runtimes are used by the python environment, which is bundled with chirp, but not authored by me, so I don't really have visibility into what the connections are. In looking around, I see very few instances (relative to the rest of them) related to Python. However, this one may be relevant if the system is 64-bit: http://bugs.python.org/issue4284 You might try installing the 32-bit MSVC++ 2008 redistributable package linked in that bug to see if that resolves the issue. If not, I don't think there's much I can do for you without more information... -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

> The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration > is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail. This is not a chirp error, and appears (from a bit of googling) that it's related to some microsoft/windows libraries getting out of whack on your system. See the following link, and the rest of the hits google returns for "side by side configuration is incorrect": http://blogs.msdn.com/b/developingfordynamicsgp/archive/2010/08/20/side-by-… -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] Chirp not identifying Kenwood TM-V71
by Dale Mosby 11 Feb '12

11 Feb '12

I have been using Chirp with a Wouun KG-UV3D and USB cable for a couple months with no problems. Thanks for the useful utility. Today I finished up a mobile install of a Kenwood TV-V71A radio. I tried the stable version of Chirp (0.1.12) and also the daily build from Feb 9. When the program attempts to identify the radio it tells me that it is unable to probe the radio model. The odd thing is that it is printing the "V71" string which seems to indicate that there was some successful communication taking place. I am running this with a laptop running Ubuntu 11.04 and using he Kenwood USB to serial cable KPG-46U. I also have available a laptop running RHEL 6.2 but have not tried that yet. Any hints appreciated. Terminal trace info follows.

[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for Latest chirp-daily Build (was: New Daily Build)
by Mike Heitmann 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

All, Linux Fedora 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_02072012 Or: yum update chirp-daily_02072012-1.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_020… http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/SRPMS/chirp-daily_0207… Happy Testing, Mike, N0SO --- On Tue, 2/7/12, Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com> wrote: > From: Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com> > Subject: [chirp_users] New Daily Build > To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > Date: Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 12:02 PM > Greetings, > > A new daily build of CHIRP is available.
