[chirp_users] Request CHIRP Wiki editing access?
by Dan Clemmensen 30 Dec '18

30 Dec '18

How can I request editing access to the Wiki, and what content is appropriate? I have figured out a way to use Linux's usbmon facility to analyse serial communications on a USB/serial programming cable, and I would like to document it, if the Wiki is an appropriate venue.

[chirp_users] Mobile/web GUI?
by Dan Clemmensen 30 Dec '18

30 Dec '18

I wish to run CHIRP on a Raspberry Pi Zero W in the field, where I may not have a laptop. I wish to connect to the Pi from a smartphone via WiFi and run CHIRP in a web page. Clearly, I could do this using VNC, but the CHIRP UI appears to be oriented toward a real screen of at least 1024x768 or so. SO: is there a UI that will fit better on a smartphone screen? Another alternative might be to run CHIRP on Android and connect a programming cable to the smartphone's USB port, but my Android skills are weak. I will have the Pi in the field anyway, since it will be running Direwolf. Incidentally, CHIRP is really impressive, and it appears to just work when I run it on my Gentoo desktop.

[chirp_users] Unable to communicate with Kenwood TH-G71 using quality USB cable and CHIRP 20181214
by Mark Howie 27 Dec '18

27 Dec '18

Hi All I am having difficulties getting CHIRP 20181214 to communicate with *a couple* of Kenwood TH-G71 hand-helds. I am using a brand new BlueMax49ers supplied (FTDI) USB cable. When connected to my Windows 7 Professional (64 bit machine) the driver seems to install fine. (No negative messages etc.) However when I try to use CHIRP (version 20181214) to download from *a couple* of Kenwood TH-G71 hand-helds nothing happens. (no indications of download progress after over 10 minutes waiting). I believe I read somewhere in the CHIRP documentation that there is *no need* to put Kenwood radios into 'clone' or similar mode. I have also tried the same cable on another computer (also with the latest version of CHIRP) and also with 64 bit Windows 7 (Ultimate). I've tried running CHIRP both as a User and as the Administrator. but get the *same result* regardless. Can you please help me to figure out what may be the issue? Thanks in advance Mark Howie ZL1UMK

[chirp_users] Support for CS800D??
by William Liporace 26 Dec '18

Hi Folks, I have not looked too much online, but it does not appear that anyone has setup the Chirp to work with the Connect System radios. I happen to have picked up the CS800D. Please correct me if I am wrong... TNX Will WC2L -- William Liporace WC2L http://www.wc2l.com or http://dxc.wc2l.com AR-Cluster Node telnet dxc.wc2l.com or 144.93 MHz wc2l(a)wc2l.com

I have seen a couple of "issues" regarding the Canadian Postal code "country ID" problem when trying to download. Could you let me know if there is a work-around for the problem that I could try. Many thanks, Gord

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 19 Dec '18

19 Dec '18

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20181214 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #543 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix Yaesu FT-8900 bank model disable This reverts/fixes a previous patch that tried to delete the get_bank_model() method from a class to avoid loading the banks tab for the 8900, which does not support them. This fails the static analysis checker at least, and isn't really the right way to do it. Just returning None will cause the compat routine in chirp_common to do the right thing, so this patch changes it to just do that. Re-fix for #6293 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix style issues in kguv9dplus I forgot to add it to the manifest, so I didn't notice these: ./chirp/drivers/kguv9dplus.py:982:74: E222 multiple spaces after operator ./chirp/drivers/kguv9dplus.py:1031:80: E501 line too long (80 > 79 characters) ./chirp/drivers/kguv9dplus.py:1032:80: E501 line too long (80 > 79 characters) ./chirp/drivers/kguv9dplus.py:1890:26: W291 trailing whitespace Related to #3509 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add KG-UV9Dplus image for #3509 [Kalle Tuulos <oh1hqz(a)gmail.com>] [FT8900] Deleted inherited get_bank_model function, fixes #6293 The FT-8900 inherits its class from FT-8800, which defines also the get_bank_model function. The existence of this function is checked in order to decide, whether Banks tab is shown or not. As banks are not supported in FT-8900, the banks tab must not be shown. [Jim Lieb <lieb(a)sea-troll.net>] [kguv9dplus] Add support for Wouxon KG-UV9D Plus Issue: #3509 Adds support for Wouxon KG-UV9d Plus model available from Powerwerx Passes run_tests and pycodestyle-2.7 This supports all functions relative to the Wouxon/Powerwerx configuration app with the following exceptions: 1. Scanning CTCSS/DCS (menu 51) is only available on the radio. It appears to be in volatile memory and gets reset to default (CTCSS) on power cycle. The supplied app doesn't support it either. 2. DTMF Transmit Interval is on the configuration tab and seems to operate on the supplied app but it does not appear to be written to the radio. As a result, it is not in the memory map and doesn't appear at all in this driver. 3. The supplied app fills in '0's to the right of either the menu or reset password UI fields. The Chirp UI doesn't seem to support field writeback so a less than 6 digit password has trailing blanks. However, the full '0' padded password is correctly uploaded to radio. Re-downloading the radio will show the filled out field correctly. For example, a password of '1234' is actually sent to the radio as '123400'. 4. Some tabs (Call ids in partiicular) would be better presented as a three column table. Signed-off-by: Jim Lieb <lieb(a)sea-troll.net>
