I have an FT-50R and I am using the latest CHIRP release, CHIRP daily-20200430. There is no need to press the PTT 3 times. The instructions for the FT-50R are to hold the PTT and Knob while powering on the radio. (The knob is on the top of the radio and must be pressed down.) To clarify, press the PTT and the knob and then press the orange power button. All three must be pressed at the same time. The radio's display will read 'CLON'. From CHIRP select 'Radio' and 'Download from Radio' and then your port, 'Yaesu' and 'FT-50'. Click OK. The instructions will pop-up if enabled. Click OK. Once CHIRP's cloning dialog for the FT-50R is present on the screen, press the PTT once and the radio should clone. I hope this helps. Rich Gordon k0eb

[chirp_users] CHIRP issue with OS X Catalina
by Jean-Paul Louis 10 May '20

10 May '20

Hello all Catalina users, Has anyone found why CHIRP now refuse to read the Desktop? I always had my CHIRP files in a folder in the Desktop since I got the MacBook, Circa 2014. But since OS X Catalina, I get an error popup telling me that CHIRP cannot read the Desktop and folders below. It seems to be true for almost anywhere but my Home directory. but this does not seems to be a safe practice as Desktop is a folder in the home directory. It is the same with the folder “Documents”. Is that a normal CHIRP behavior? The only way I could make it works is to move the CHIRP folder from the Desktop to the Home directory. Why the CHIRP folder cannot be in the Desktop or in Documents? I am at a loss here. Jean-Paul N1JPL

I humbly wish and believe all posts about installing chirp on anything besides windows and Mac OS should start their own list. I will unsubscribe soon if I see many more posts about installing chirp on Linux. If you try to use any distro of linux as your OS of choice you better be savvy enough, like my son Chris, to solve these issues on your own. GET OFF MY LAWN!!! -- Dennis M.

Success! I had Chirp running on Ubuntu 20.04 in under 10 minutes! And I was able to download and upload to several of the older Baofeng 888 radios and a Radioddity GA-2S (same driver in chirp). Good deal! Some notes on your current flatpak: - Chirp needs network access for the online repeater database and to check for updates Added, for the next version. - Chirp complains (when launched from the console) that 2 drivers need python-future package Ok, I'll add that with pip. I did some more modifications to my flatpak file and here's what I found: - pygtk fails to compile with gnome Sdk version 3.36 but compiles on 3.26. gnome Sdk 3.30 is unsupported for some reason. - I'll look into how to get things working on a newer version I'm using 3.28 as the current target. I'm not sure I really need to be using the gnome sdk over the regular freedesktop sdk but I inherited that with the json file. - Nolan's repo has a lot of stuff mine is missing. - Like a desktop shortcut Mine should show a desktop shortcut. It worked with a local repo install. Thanks, Richard
