Re: [chirp_users] MacOS Version of Chirp

I can run Chirp 0.1.8 on Leopard if I do the following: I have installed the python 'serial' and 'gtk' packages through macports. Therefore I need to include the statement: export PYTHONPATH=/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages into my environment startup file. You may have a different place. I also needed to alter a line in 'Platform.py' because of the slightly different names of the USB serial ports. I changed it to: def list_serial_ports(self): return sorted(glob.glob("/dev/ttyS*") + glob.glob("/dev/ ttyUSB*") + glob.glob("/dev/tty.usb*")) (Note the 3rd part - the serial USB ports on my system are all labelled "/dev/tty.usbxxxxx") With those to changes, I 'cd'd to the directory and ran: ./chirpw with success. If you have not played with the default X11 set-up, then X11 should start automatically when needed. (BTW, I'm using the X11-2.3.2.1.dmg X11 distribution if that matters - I doubt it). I have an IC-91AD that connects through an FTDI chip to the USB port. I also have the FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_10.dmg drivers installed. Hope this helps someone. Susan

[chirp_users] How to convert from 800-2820 and back?
by dave＠proficia.com 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Please excuse the ignorance. Apparently I was absent the day that we went over this. What is the correct (or succesful) procedure for converting a file from an 800 icf file to a 2820 icf file? I can import into Chirp and save as a Chirp or img file. Is there no way to save as an ICF file that the cs-d800 or cs-2820 software can read other than to load directly into the radio with Chirp then read it back out with the icom software?

[chirp_users] What it does and how ?
by Steven Samuel Bosshard (NU5D) 03 Mar '09

Is there a repository of information about what exactly chirp does and how to use ? It looks like native chirp files do not apply to 91/92 radios. Just looking for a what is what page. Also it seems when I export from a 91 / 92 to csv, then use open office calc to edit the file, that there is a data mismatch error trying to re-open in chirp, even if I don't (knowingly) change anything.

[chirp_users] Info

I have both a 91 and 92 here on the desk. The 91 is programmed to my liking. Is there a quick step by step on how to transport the contents (memories) from the 91 to the 92 ? Sorry I am kinda dense on this and please be patient. (both radios communicate with the chirp. I can save and load csv files. I get a schema error trying to load *.chirp files).

[chirp_users] Special channels
by David Tilson 15 Feb '09

Me again... Understanding that you are one busy dude and that this has possibly dropped off your radar, because I haven't hassled you for a while, but when you have a spare 5 minutes could you please add the ability to export / import the special channels (eg: C0, C1, etc) to/from the CSV file routines. Thanks, davidt

G'day Dan, > It takes so freaking long to clone the 2820 that I'm always > apt to choose the easiest route that works unless there is a > real problem. It's a pain to debug issues in that thing :) Yep, I understand. The DSQL and Code problem appears to be resolved on the 2820 with 0.1.9b4. Thanks for that. I haven't been able to replicate the lockup of CHIRP when an invalid frequency was entered through a CSV import on the 2820 in 0.1.9b4. I did try something on the 92AD Bank B that had an interesting result. I had a valid frequency entered in Mem 57 of 146.6375 MHz. I performed a CSV import with Mem 57 set to an invalid freq of 136.6375. The import screen showed that the new freq would be 136.6375, however when the import occurred the frequency remained at 146.6375 (unchanged). I then deleted Mem 57 as well as Mem 58 from the radio and did the CSV import again. In the CSV file Mem 57 had the corrupt frequency and Mem 58 had a valid frequency. This time nothing was saved in Mem 57, however Mem 58 imported correctly. > I hope you > are far enough away that you won't have to worry about > endangering yourself, your family, or your home. Be safe and > good luck! Yes, we are safe thanks. The majority of the fires have been at least an hours drive to the north east and approx 2 hours drive to the east. We are still concerned though as there is March is traditionally the month for fires down here. Cheers, davidt

G'day Nate, Thanks for your concerns, it is appreciated. The koala, who has become known famously around the world as Sam, is now in a wildlife shelter recovering with 3rd degree burns on her paws (Sam is a female koala). They showed a brief reunion with Sam and the firefighter, who gave her a drink, a few nights ago on TV and they now appear to have a special bond... Out of interest Richard VK3JFK, Peter VK3TQ and I flew over the fires last Sunday night, on the way back from demonstrating D-STAR at an interstate hamfest, and from 30'000 feet we could clearly see the enormity of the fire front and the devastation below. Regards, Davidt, VK3UR
