[chirp_users] This is exactly what I'm talking about...
by Bruce 30 Nov '23

First off, I want ALL the user accounts (all me) to be able to access chirp, If I'm logged in to my GMRS account I want to use chirp to program THOSE radios, if I'm logged in under my Amateur Call I want to use chirp THERE to program my Ham Rigs... And have the associated data files available THERE... After reinstalling Py3.9 a couple times I FINALLY got chirp to install, but not without complaining about the out of date pip util. So I followed the instruct on how to upgrade that, and v21.3.1 is STILL being used. <sigh> Even though the upgrade to v23.3.1 succeeded. So I tried the install of chirp under another user and got an OSError Permission failures, so I 'sodo'd it and THIS is what I got... C was SO much more straight forward... WTF is 'testresources' ?! Tried it in a 'virtual environment' first and we know how THAT worked... And I *DID* upgrade pip you daffy computer !!! And WHY is there any "uninstalling" going on !?!? I guess if a Python is going to kill it's prey, it needs to confuse it first... Like I said, I think I'll stick with the old version of chirp, if what I've done here hasn't totally FUBAR'd that up... ============= Successfully uninstalled future-0.18.2 ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts. launchpadlib 1.10.13 requires testresources, which is not installed. Successfully installed certifi-2023.11.17 charset-normalizer-3.3.2 chirp-20231129 future-0.18.3 idna-3.6 importlib-resources-6.1.1 pyserial-3.5 requests-2.31.0 six-1.16.0 urllib3-2.1.0 yattag-1.15.2 zipp-3.17.0 WARNING: Running pip as the 'root' user can result in broken permissions and conflicting behaviour with the system package manager. It is recommended to use a virtual environment instead: https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/venv WARNING: You are using pip version 21.3.1; however, version 23.3.1 is available. You should consider upgrading via the '/usr/bin/python3.9 -m pip install --upgrade pip' command. -- 73 4 Now, Bruce

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-60R issue and fix endorsement
by jerry 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

Hi, I just wanted to endorse the "fix" that I gathered from the back and forth dialog on the issues board. I, too, found that I could download from the radio fine but it simply wouldn't upload. Seeing the OP got things to work with a new cable from BlueMax49ers.com I went ahead and ordered one although I could not see how the cable I used for years with other Yaesu radios did not work. Amazingly, the CT-91 BlueMax cable worked immediately and I just wanted to further endorse this "solution" to other FT-60 owners. Another suggestion: There seems to be a missing line in the instruction drop down for uploading to the radio. There is no prompt to hit the OK as the final step as there is on the download instruction. You do have to hit the OK button or the download will not start. Great program and great support. Thank you. Jerry
