[chirp_users] Alinco model DJ-V57
by Melvin Mahler 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

I have one with Alinco cords to USB interface and I would be willing to loan it for period of development work. I don't yet understand Alinco model number so am not sure if it would help with issue 253 or 322. WB9MAF

[chirp_users] Contact/Loan a radio
by MURS Radio 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hi, I've been attempting to contact someone to loan a radio (Puxing PX-888K) so that it can be supported. The contact page - http://chirp.danplanet.com/contact - is not working and attempts for a response on IRC were not successful. Could someone contact me directly to work out the radio loan details? -- Rob ========================================== MURS Radio Two Way Radio Communications and Security http://www.murs-radio.com ==========================================

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5R Scanning
by Bill Gabbard 11 Feb '13

I'm aware of and use the Scanning feature on the Baofeng UV-5R and was wondering if a Priority Scan can be set & if not could that feature be programmed in the Skip column of Chirp with the Skip feature or elsewhere? Thanks, Bill

[chirp_users] linux dtr/rts issue
by jim ki6njf 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

All, I cannot get the Ubuntu version of Chirp to function CHIRP daily-20130209 GTK 2.24.13 PyGTK 2.24.0 Python 2.7.3 to work with an RT systems interface cable on linux. But, Under Windows XP SP3 running on the same system under Virtual Box, Chirp 0.3.0 works. Ubuntu 12.10 KDE Virtual Box 4.1.18 radio: yaesu ft-7800 or vx-7r RT System adapter cable. for the windows system the Data Terminal Ready/Request to Send lines go high (the rt system adapter is power by the diode OR of them at a positive voltage) for the transfer, On the linux version DTR/RTS stay negative. The RT systems adapter must have DRT or RTS high to be powered. I am a member of the tty and dialout groups on the linux system. Any ideas or more information? 73s jim ki6njf

[chirp_users] CHIRP 0.3.0 Released
by Dan Smith 09 Feb '13

09 Feb '13

CHIRP version 0.3.0 has been released. This is a major revision from the previous stable version 0.2.3 and includes a hefty number of bug fixes, features, and support for new radio models. The full story is detailed in the issue tracker here: http://goo.gl/qhqng Below is a summary of higher-level changes: New radios now supported: - Baofeng UV-5R - Icom IC-208H - Icom IC-T7H - Icom IC-T8A - Icom IC-746 - Kenwood TM-G707 - TYT TH-UV3R - TYT TH-UVF1 - Yaesu FT-1802M - Wouxun KG-UV6D/UV6X Major new features: - Better serial port enumeration on Windows - Automatic split->offset conversion during import when odd-split is not supported - Per-memory extra settings and detailed editing - TravelPlus importing - RadioReference importing This cycle has seen more contributors to CHIRP than ever before. What started as a one-man show, later saw a few patches from outsiders here and there, has become a more proper team with consistent contributions from "the regulars." This is good for CHIRP and its users of course, and definitely good for me specifically. The folks that contributed a patch between 0.2.3 and 0.3.0 are: Changes | Author ----------------------------------------------------- 289 | Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com> 86 | Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us> 60 | Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com> 19 | Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com> 4 | David Griffith <dave(a)661.org> 2 | Johan Adler <johan.adler(a)gmail.com> 1 | Ed Santiago <esm(a)r.edsantiago.com> 1 | Eric Allen <ericpallen(a)gmail.com> 1 | Jeremy McDermond <mcdermj(a)xenotropic.com> That adds up to 463 individual changes betwen 0.2.3 and 0.3.0. If you're a user of one of the following families of radios, you may want to thank a developer specifically, as they either wrote or babysit specific drivers: - Yaesu FT-8x7 and Wouxun UV6: Marco Filippi - Yaesu VX-series handhelds and recent Kenwoods: Tom Hayward - Baofeng UV-5R: Jim Unroe This is by no means a comprehensive list of folks to thank, but the above individuals consistently spend time on the these radios to make sure that they work well. The usual downloads can be had on the aptly-named page on the website: http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download I will try to get the PPA archive updated in the next week with a release package for the Ubuntu users. If you're a user of the daily builds, you have the option of getting off that train and running this build at this point. However, the following daily builds will build on top of this, so if you prefer to stay on the bleeding edge, you won't be missing anything by sticking with those instead of the release. We feel pretty good about the current build, but as the stable releases are more likely to get widespread attention than the dailies, we expect to cut an 0.3.1 release soon with fixes for things that are reported by folks upgrading from 0.2.3. -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] FT-2800m
by Jeffrey Deuel 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

Hi All- I've had great success using Chirp on my Mac to program my UV5r's. I'm now trying to use it with my FT-2800m Yaesu mobile. I get a sense that the cable is communicating with the radio, as I sometimes get a message saying the program couldn't get header info, while other times I get an Error message on the radio. I've seen reports of people using different key combinations when powering on to put the radio in pairing mode, which I've done. I'm a little unclear what to do at that point. Can anyone point me to a step-by-step list for programming the ft-2800m with Chirp and a Mac? I'd be forever in your debt. Thanks and 73, Jeff
