[chirp_users] Error using CHIRP with my AnyTone AT778-UV
by Tony Moriarty 19 Jul '20

19 Jul '20

Hi. Firstly, although I've used Chirp for years, this is the first time I've used this forum - please be patient with me! I was delighted to discover recently that Chirp now supports the Anytone 778-UV - I've had one for a while, and the "other" software available for it was rather limited. Anyway, having downloaded the latest daily build and attempted to read the radio, I'm getting an error message that includes the text : "Radio version not in allowed list for AnyTone-778UV: 000: 49 41 54 37 37 38 55 56 IAT778UV 008: 01 56 31 30 30 00 00 06 .V100..." It appears that Chirp is correctly interacting with the radio via the relevant com port, but doesn't like what the radio tells it. Since there doesn't seem to have been a rash of issues raised on this subject, I didn't want to raise it as a bug report till I'd made enquiries here. My PC runs an up-to-date installation of Windows 10 The debug file includes the following (I've chopped out lines that don't seem relevant!): [2020-07-19 08:50:02,053] chirp.logger - DEBUG: CHIRP daily-20200718 on WinVista/7 (Python 2.7.10) . . .

[chirp_users] Newest Chirp doesn't seem to work with Python 2.6.6 -- invalid syntax on the anytone778uv.py driver

Hello Everyone, I've been a happy Chirp user for a long time but haven't upgraded for some time. I was previously running the TIP version back from Feb 3 2018 (chirp-hg-e3b90fa8c316) and that worked well but once I fetched the newest version with: wget http://d-rats.com/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/chirp.hg/archive/tip.tar.gz Both of these newest versions give me the below errors: lrwxrwxrwx 1 dranch dranch 21 Jul 18 19:09 chirp-tip-newest -> chirp-hg-37a6a6d6f425 lrwxrwxrwx 1 dranch dranch 21 Jul 12 13:22 chirp-tip-newest -> chirp-hg-061e53a8a2cc The errors I'm seeing are: -- $ ./chirpw Traceback (most recent call last): File "./chirpw", line 24, in <module> from chirp.drivers import * File "/home/archive/Chirp/chirp-hg-37a6a6d6f425/chirp/drivers/anytone778uv.py", line 192 for val in TONE_MAP_VAL_TO_TONE} ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax -- It was mentioned by Jim Unroe to install the "future" pip package but installing version 0.18.2 didn't help. Any thoughts? --David KI6ZHD

[chirp_users] Trouble Importing Channels
by Glenn K0LNY 14 Jul '20

14 Jul '20

Hi All, Hoping someone here will be able to help. Ubuntu 16.43, and I'm trying to import a CSV file that I have used on my Baofengs, onto a new radio. It is a Wouxun KG UV 7D. I selected the 6D in the radio list in the Chirp radio selection, since when looking for the manual at the Wouxun site, I contacted them looking for the manual and they suggested I use the 6D manual, because the only difference is the power. So the 6D selection should work in Chirp, it would seem. My radio is the 2 & 6 meter model. One thing it says is that I have an error on line 74, and I looked at that with Libra Office and couldn't find any problem. But it leaves out a local repeater channel that normally goes right into a Baofeng with Chirp, and it also left out the 6 meter channels I put in. The channel numbers are there, but no values in the fields. If anyone has any ideas, or can look over my CSV file, I would much appreciate it. Thanks. Glenn

[chirp_users] Python 3? GTK3?
by Greg Troxel 13 Jul '20

13 Jul '20

I and a few others are working on updating the chirp package in pkgsrc from the last release to a daily snapshot. That caused me to look at our package, and I see that it depends on py-gtk2, which in pkgsrc is marked as python 2.7 only. In general we're trying to have packages be able to build with python 3 when that's doable. I went to see if we were missing a py-gtk update that let it use python 3, and we have the last PyGTK release from upstream 2.24.0 that actally has source code. I don't understand 2.24.2 but that seems to be windows installers only and no sources. https://pypi.org/project/PyGTK/#history FWIW, pkgsrc's current dependencies are: $ pkg_info chirp Information for chirp-20200622: Comment: Tool for programming Amateur Radio HTs Requires: py27-serial>=2.7 desktop-file-utils>=0.10nb1 python27>=2.7.1nb2 py27-libxml2>=2.6.27 py27-gtk2>=2.24.0nb33 I looked in the unpacked daily src tarball and didn't find a README that explained what dependencies are required for chirp. So I wonder: Are people using py-gtk2 with python 3? Is there some other py-gtk2 I should be finding? Is there any option to use py-gobject, or some other gtk bindings instead? Is there any option to use gtk3 instead? Is anything on the dependency list above spurious/missing? 73 de n1dam

not sure how to reply to messages, not seen a forum like this before.. on in my Chirp i select radio BF-A58S is 'settings' and then 'other settings' i have VHF lower limit 136Mhz upper limit 174Mhz UHF lower limit 400mhz upper limit 520Mhz i can't see anything which mentions 200Mhz to 260Mhz ?? hence why i'm unsure that if i start adding 220Mhz channels and such like that when i try to upload it'll either deny them or brick the radio.. yes i have half a dozen already programmed in by the factory, but also all the 220 channels and a couple of UHF have a \ next to them where it's meant to say channel name..

[chirp_users] BF-A58S Tri-band and Chirp
by Mark Thompson 11 Jul '20

11 Jul '20

Just bought a Tri-band version of the A58S, and although Chirp downloads from radio in either A58, A58S or even UV-5R-XYZmk3Turbo whatever it is. when i download the radios stock configuration i see VHF and UHF frequencies including 220Mhz. but Chirp only says this radio is VHF and UHF and not 220Mhz. so when i download all seems good. configuration only shows as dual band. my issue is although i can ad 220Mhz frequencies to the memories, i dare'nt upload in case the radio goes to VHF and UHF only and i lose the 220Mhz. will it lose 220Mhz if i upload as a dual band and not tri-band ?? wil the tri-band frequencies install although Chirp say's it's dual band ?? any one ?? thanks.. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
