[chirp_users] benefits of upgrading
by K 0 L N Y Glenn 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

Hi, I'm wondering what if any benefits there would be to upgrading Chirp software, if one's radio is already one of the options to choose from? I would think that the only benefits would be if the radio you wish to program has not yet been an option, and it was recently added to the selection. I guess I don't typically read the list of changes added to Chirp, so perhaps I'm missing the obvious. I sometimes think that if it ain't broke, don't fix it, so I typically don't update my chirp, but when I install a new Live Linux, I typically install a new build. Just wondering when noticing that someone updated their chirp, and now it does not work for them. Glenn

[chirp_users] Trouble with Chirp & Yaesu FT-60R
by Frank Kohn 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

|Hello, | |I am using a FTDI USB Cable from Valley Enterprises to connect my Macbook Pro to an Yaesu FT-60R. It worked great initially, but since upgrading to the latest CHIRP build, I have been unable to program my FT-60R or even begin by downloading the channel image from the radio. I downloaded and reinstalled KK7DS_Python_Runtime_R10.pkg, FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_4_2, and |chirp-unified-daily-20200207 <https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-unified-daily-202…>. I followed the procedures for downloading the memory for my radio and received a message saying: /**//*A error has occurred*//////*Failed to communicate with radio*//////*Reading block 0 was short (62) */Can anyone help me get this to work. Thank you, Frank W3MHP /**//**/||

[chirp_users] Missing USB connectivity
by Tim Duffy 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

I updated to the latest build and one of the connectivity choices seems to have disappeared. The only option I can get is this: /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port I'm using the cable supplied by my radio manufacturer. Everything worked with all my radios before the upgrade. Should I try and revert to an earlier build or is there another solution? Any help is greatly appreciated. Tim Duffy

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20200207 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #612 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add test images for FT-25R, FT-4VR, FT-4XE, FT-65E Related to #7189, #6619, #7387, #7543 [Bernhard Hailer <ham73tux(a)gmail.com>] [ft4] Add Yaesu FT-25R (and infrastructure for Yaesu FT-25E). Fixes: #7543 This patch adds support for the Yaesu FT-25 to Chirp. The European version is commented out; we can activate as soon as we obtain an image (it can be downloaded using FT-25R as selected radio). [Bernhard Hailer <ham73tux(a)gmail.com>] [ft4] Add Yaesu FT-4VR (and infrastructure for Yaesu FT-4VE). Fixes: #7387 This patch adds support for the Yaesu FT-4V to Chirp. The European version is commented out; we can activate as soon as we obtain an image (it can be downloaded using FT-25R as selected radio). [Bernhard Hailer <ham73tux(a)gmail.com>] [ft4] Add Yaesu FT-65E. Fixes: #6619 This patch adds support for the Yaesu FT-65E to Chirp. It offers an additional tune step of 6.25 kHz. [Bernhard Hailer <ham73tux(a)gmail.com>] [ft4] Add Yaesu FT-4XE. Fixes: #7189 This patch adds support for the Yaesu FT-4XE to Chirp. It offers an additional tune step of 6.25 kHz. [Bernhard Hailer <ham73tux(a)gmail.com>] [ft4] Open allowed frequencies to radio supported receive ranges. Fixes #6651 The FT-4 driver restricted allowed frequencies to what the radios allowed for transmit. This patch opens allowed ranges to what the radios offer for receiving. Also mentioned in #6869. [Bernhard Hailer <ham73tux(a)gmail.com>] [ft4] After CSV import, channels were always low power. Fixes #7603 After a CSV file was imported, all imported channels were displayed and uploaded with low power. This patch ensures the recommended high power setting will now be used. [Bernhard Hailer <ham73tux(a)gmail.com>] [ft4] Sometimes channel names are not displayed correctly. Fixes: #7601 When user programmed radio manually and added a name shorter than 8 characters, the remaining characters were filled with garbage on the Chirp UI. This was due to padding with 0x7F used by the Yaesu; the solution is to pad with 0x20 (space characters) instead.
