> Is your program supposed to show banks on the Yaesu VX6R? I downloaded the data from the radio, and it did not show any banks. The last column was the skip column Not yet, but it shouldn't be too much trouble. If you can open an issue on the website and attach an image with some known bank information, I will finish off the bank support on the vx6 driver. -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] 857D problem
by Joseph Skoler 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hi, I just installed Chirp to program my new 857D. The interface/cable is working fine -- able to download/upload memories to/from the radio. My problem is that none of the UHF/VHF memories work on the rig if they're programmed using Chirp. That is, they're in memory and I can receive on them just fine. But, transmitting does not appear to work -- cannot key up the repeaters. I have quadruple checked the offset direction/amount as well as the PL. The 10 meter memory entries work fine. I have an SWR meter on the HF antenna port and it moves a tiny amount when I'm transmitting on a memory channel programmed to a VHF or UHF frequency, as if it's putting the signal out the HF port. When I program the memories manually everything works fine. What am I doing wrong? thank you, Joseph, kc2yu

by Dan Smith 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Hi all, As planned and promised, I just posted 0.2.1 on the website for download. This release contains only the bare minimum of fixes against 0.2.0. The new version is available on the download page and the details are documented in the news item on the site: http://chirp.danplanet.com/news/3 Note that if you're running on the current daily builds then what you have is *newer* than this build. The intent of the maintenance releases are just to get fixes to users of the regular version more often. Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build now available
by Mike Heitmann 22 Mar '12

22 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_03222012 Or: yum update chirp-daily_daily_032220121.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_032… http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/SRPMS/chirp-daily_0322… Happy Testing, Mike, N0SO

Re: [chirp_users] ICOM 92AD

Hi James, I was able to import your data file with no problems. I did not have to edit it. All I did was connect my radio, let chirp read it, then selected the B tab, saved my data (for backup), then did a file->import on your file. If the radio doesn't successfully read first, it's not talking to chirp and the file import will fail. Keep trying until it reads your data first. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to read the old data from the radio. If it does, your getting read errors. Mike, N0SO --- On Sun, 3/18/12, James E.

[chirp_users] can't upload to 2820
by Brian Mury 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hello, I'm having problems uploading to my 2820 (downloading works). The upload progresses until the CHIRP progress bar has hit 100%, and the 2820 progress bar has *almost* hit 100%, then the window with the CHIRP progress bar closes, and the radio just sits there saying "CLONE IN", and showing the progress bar a pixel or two away from completion. I'm forced to power cycle the radio, at which point it resets to factory settings. I'm running Fedora 16, and was using chirp-0.1.12-5.fc16 from the repository. I've tried upgrading to chirp-0.2.0-1.fc16, also from the repository, and am seeing the same problem. I'm using the data port, not the speaker port. I dug out an old Windows laptop and tried the Icom CS-2820 software - it works, so the radio and cable both work. This used to work for me. I haven't used CHIRP in quite some time as I haven't needed to make any changes to the radio's programming, so unfortunately I can't say when it stopped working. Here's the relevant portion of the output when run from a terminal: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Clone thread started Starting HiSpeed: 000: fe fe fe fe fe fe fe fe ........ 008: fe fe fe fe fe fe fe fe ........ 016: fe fe fe fe ee ef e8 29 .......) 024: 70 00 01 00 00 02 01 fd p.......

Re: [chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UVD1P connection
by Dan Smith 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

> I use the wouxun and commander programs on the PC Okay, it may be worth trying chirp on Windows, if you can, just to rule out any issues with the driver on MacOS. Part of the problem is that the chinese manufacturers regularly make multiple versions of the "same" radio that speak a different language or have subtle differences with no visual markings to distinguish them. If it doesn't work on Windows, then that may be biting us here. Also, if you could get and send the debug.log from the Mac, that will help us determine if it's not seeing any data from the radio, or if something more detailed is going on. Instructions for getting your debug log are here: http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/How_To_Report_Issues I assume you're using 0.2.0? -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] 92AD
by James E. Wells (KDØAJZ) 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

Okay, here is the deal. If I start the software with the radio on and ask it to read the radio it sends Error messages in all memory slots. My RS232 cable shows that it is transmitting but not receiving. If I turn the radio off and then right back on it transmits and receives and it starts filling in the memory slots. It will go back and fill in the slots that had Errors in them and then it goes idle. It will not give me Bank Names nor does it have what bank the memory is in in both the A and B side. The DStar does not register and the Banks in the B side do not show. When I try to import a file it lets me pick the file and then a box opens with some of the memories in it and I tell it to do all of them. Then the bottom of the screen says something about the memory but I do not remember what it says but it looks like it is stuck and then Chirp produces a Not Responding Message and it will not recover so I have to shut it down with the Task Manager. Now instead of even trying to load the file it just goes to Not Responding. Not sure why it will not read the radio unless I turn it off and then turn it on. That is my report for the day.

[chirp_users] ICOM 92AD
by James E. Wells (KDØAJZ) 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

If anyone here has an ICOM 92AD and is using Chirp with no problems can you please send me the instructions on how you do it? I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work and it keeps telling me that it can not find the model of my radio. I have the GPS turned off. I have the radio at least five feet away from the computer. I turn the radio on first then start the software. I select ICOM and Port 5 and the bottom box says “Detect”. We I click okay. It does nothing until the box comes up and says that it can not find my model of radio.

Downloaded the latest build. I am still having the problem that the program will not find the model of my ICOM. I have an ICOM 92AD. There has only been a few that have been able to read the radio without giving the error that it could not get the model of my radio. Does anyone have something that has to be turned off or on on the radio to allow the program to read the files on the radio. I am running Windows Vista AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor TK-57.

[chirp_users] Need Windows test help
by Dan Smith 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

Hi all, I think I tracked down the issue recently uncovered on Windows Vista and 7, regarding weird display issues. I would really appreciate it if a few people could grab and test the following build: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/gtk-test/ I would like to hear from someone on each of Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Please download and install, and report the version numbers shown in the Help->About box. Then, please do some downloading, uploading, importing, and editing to make sure that it's stable and functional. It looks like the issue resulting in the weird behavior on Windows Vista/7 might have been causing other minor instabilities in all versions of Windows, so this will be good to get fixed. Note that this has no effect on the Linux or MacOS builds at all. Thanks, and I hope to hear from some testers soon so we can get this pushed out in an official daily tomorrow. -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] [PATCH] [vx5] bugfix, power levels, and 8-char names
by Tom Hayward 10 Mar '12

10 Mar '12

Here are 3 patches for the VX5 driver. I hope attachments work; I don't know how to use hg email! Here is a summary: changeset: 1395:693766bb1594 branch: vx5 tag: tip user: Tom Hayward KD7LXL <esarfl(a)gmail.com> date: Sat Mar 10 17:10:27 2012 -0700 summary: [vx5] allow 8-character names changeset: 1394:c0f877c47900 branch: vx5 user: Tom Hayward KD7LXL <esarfl(a)gmail.com> date: Sat Mar 10 16:41:25 2012 -0700 summary: [vx5] add power level support changeset: 1393:35b6ec0749d2 branch: vx5 parent: 954:09af2a62cf91 user: Tom Hayward KD7LXL <esarfl(a)gmail.com> date: Sat Mar 10 16:01:04 2012 -0700 summary: [vx5] bugfix: set non-empty memories visible. This last one was a significant bug. The VX5 has a bit for each memory called "visible". From the VX5, you can mask a memory, rendering it invisible. When chirp was creating a new memory, it was not setting this bit, so newly added memories were invisible! The original tester must have only tried editing existing memories where the "visible" bit was already set. Tom KD7LXL

Dan, I am happy using the laptop to update the 2800 -- its working. Tweaking to get the Athlon to work is not needed from my perspective. However, I am willing to run trials if sometime you want to tweak the code for the 2800. I run Ubuntu Oneric for most of my ham stuff, but also have Windows 7/XP and Mac(Lion) machines. 73, Jack (W0FNQ)

[chirp_users] CHIRP 0.2.0
by Dan Smith 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Hi all, As you just saw from the build system, I froze 0.2.0. I have decided to change the version numbering just a bit. Every big formal release that includes new features will increment the middle number (the next one with feature change will be 0.3.0). I plan to make a couple of smaller releases where the last number increments, which will include only fixes on top of the last release. These would be things like fixes against specific drivers to address bugs, etc. This will let me post 0.2.1 sooner than later and incorporate things that are breaking "normal" users each day. We'll see how the plan works :) Everyone here is probably painfully aware of everything that has changed since 0.1.12, but I wrote up the high level details in the news item on the website: http://chirp.danplanet.com/news/2 Thanks to everyone that contributed code, radios, and bug reports! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

Dan/Mike, Thanks for the replies. Out of curiosity, I pulled out an old Inspiron 600m laptop and it works. at least for polling the rig. I haven't tried an upload yet. Perhaps this suggest a serial timing issue? The other computer that didn't work is and Athlon quad on a Asus m/b. I do regularly use the serial port on the Asus machine without any issue. Later this morning I will try uploading.

[chirp_users] FT-2800 and Kawamall cable
by Jack Generaux 08 Mar '12

I have been attempting to use Chirp (both W7 and Ubuntu platforms) and am unable to achieve any transfer. I open Chirp and the download menu, set Com1, Yaesu, and 2800 >> then set the 2800 by pressing the 3 clone buttons >> when I press the MHz button, the 2800 responds with "error" Trying to engage Chirp first results in s "no header" error. I know the com1 port is working as I use it regularly for other programs and I have used the cable and the trial version of g4hfq prog. Any thoughts would be appreciated. 73, Jack (W0FNQ)

[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available
by Mike Heitmann 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.

[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

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

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_02272012 Or: yum update chirp-daily_daily_022720121.fc16 That should install the latest daily build.

[chirp_users] FT8900R Upload Issue
by Jim Yates 27 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.

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.

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.

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.

[chirp_users] Quick Question

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.

[chirp_users] Please help me program my radio
by Judy 21 Feb '12

21 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

When multiple people are working on a driver, it's often the case that patches will conflict because they both made edits to the directory listing. Further, it makes it harder to add/remove a module during development because you have to edit the directory. This patch introduces a "register" decorator in the directory module. Any driver claiming to implement a radio driver can decorate that class and have it automatically included in the directory. Thus, simply placing mydriver.py in the chirp module folder will cause it to be included.

Hi all, The OSX builds have been broken since the translation stuff was put into the tree, but I only realized this a few days ago. I've got a new OSX runtime built with the following differences: 1. An updated python environment 2. GTK built with native Quartz support (X11 is no longer needed!) 3. An OSX-like theme that makes Chirp look a lot more "normal" on MacOS I need one or two people who are willing to install the new runtime and help me test a build. If you're interested, please email me directly and I'll get you the stuff. Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

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 10 Feb '12

10 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.

[chirp_users] Using Chirp with Icom V82
by Amateur Radio WB8NUT 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

Is there anything special or sequence of keys needed to get Chirp to work with an Icom V82? I put the radio into Clone mode and try reading and writing. I have hit the PTT to read and write. In every case Chirp says it cannot determine the radio model number and gives an error. Any suggestions? Thanks, Duffy www.wb8nut.com
