[chirp_users] Support of radio
by Jeffrey Vian 10 Mar '23

10 Mar '23

I have a new baofeng that was just given to me. The radio is UV-82L and was purchased by my ARC 2 or 3 years ago and programmed using chirp at that time. I wanted to update the programming but have not been able to do so with either chirp-next or the legacy chirp that is on the download site. The individual that originally programmed it does not remember which type of radio he used for the original programming. So far I have tried every supported baofeng model and the radioddity models as well but none are able to download the existing programming so it could be modified and updated. Does anyone have a clue if chirp is even able to communicate with this radio today? and if so then what brand/model should be used to do so? The club still has several of these that are used as door prizes and for club use. Jeff KI7GJG

[chirp_users] installing CHIRP-next problems
by Jeffrey Vian 10 Mar '23

10 Mar '23

I run Fedpra Linux version 37 which has python 3.11 I have previously used CHIRP and am upgrading to the newer python3 version but am encountering several issues. Each time I try to launch the new version I get an error, and have been working through them one at a time (which mostly requires installing a python package not previously installed). I have, however, hit one that I cannot find the proper fix for. ---- File "/home/USERNAME/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/attrdict/mapping.py", line 4, in <module> from collections import Mapping ImportError: cannot import name 'Mapping' from 'collections' (/usr/lib64/python3.11/collections/__init__.py) [end of output] ---- Looking at the collections module installed for the system it does not seem to have the Mapping module as the error states and I cannot figure out how to fix that issue. Does someone with python experience have any suggestions? Jeff KI7GJG

[chirp_users] New chirp-next build
by donotreply＠chirp.danplanet.com 10 Mar '23

Greetings, A new build of CHIRP-next is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree since yesterday and may include additional features, bug fixes, etc. As a reminder, this is different from the "daily" CHIRP builds in that new development and features are happening here. It is the latest and greatest, but also may be less stable than the "daily" builds at this time. If it works for you, we recommend using CHIRP-next, but if your radio is not yet working on it, then you may prefer to use the "daily" builds for the time being. You can get it from here: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_next/ A list of changes since the last build are here: Changes for Build #85 [3046399+kk7ds] Add a driver for Q-MAC HF-90 radio [3046399+kk7ds] Add test images for Q-MAC HF-90 [3046399+kk7ds] Add test matrix entries for Q-MAC HF-90 variants [3046399+kk7ds] Fix TM-D710 memory bounds including specials [3046399+kk7ds] Remove VARIANT from status bar --

[chirp_users] Chirp next, Ubuntu 22.04 no download window
by Perneczky Miklós 10 Mar '23

10 Mar '23

Hi guys, I have a pair of BF888, I wanted to do some changes in their config after a long time. I run into the problem that my old cable with PL2023TA is not compatible with w11, the chirp next does not open any window on ubuntu 22.04 if I click download from radio, and if I install here the old chirp version, that downloads crap (loads my saved files also with bad data). Chirp next loads the saved config files correctly. I would like to focus on chirp next on u22.04 and make that work. If I run it from console, this is what I see, when I try to download from radio: myuseronmylaptop:~$ chirp-snap.chirp 21:19:40: Debug: Failed to connect to session manager: Could not open network socket 21:19:40: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file' 21:19:40: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file' 21:19:40: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file' WARNING: Did not find localedir: /snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chirp/locale Traceback (most recent call last): File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chirp/wxui/main.py", line 1166, in _menu_download with clone.ChirpDownloadDialog(self) as d: File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chirp/wxui/clone.py", line 225, in __init__ self.set_ports() File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chirp/wxui/clone.py", line 283, in set_ports system_ports = list_ports.comports() File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/serial/tools/list_ports_linux.py", line 102, in comports for info in [SysFS(d) for d in devices] File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/serial/tools/list_ports_linux.py", line 102, in <listcomp> for info in [SysFS(d) for d in devices] File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/serial/tools/list_ports_linux.py", line 48, in __init__ num_if = int(self.read_line(self.usb_device_path, 'bNumInterfaces')) TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a real number, not 'NoneType' Do you have any hint what I should try?

[chirp_users] chirp next UI locale
by Nick Kantarakias 07 Mar '23

Hello all, just a question before I post a feature request: in CHIRP next is there a way in UI to change the interface language? (at the moment it detects Windows locale and there is no way to change it other than deleting locale and po files) Thanks

[chirp_users] Need Help with Yaesu VX-3 and CHIRP
by Jim Overstreet 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

I have tried everything in the instructions and cannot get Chirp to communicate with the radio. As per the instructions, you turn the radio off, connect the USB cable, then turn on the radio while holding down the F/W key which puts the radio in CLONE mode which shows on the display. Then, you hit the band key and it tries to communicate with the radio. At first, it looks like it will work but after about 20 seconds ERROR appears in the display. I followed the instructions just as shown when you start the process, but always get the ERROR message. Just wondering if anyone has had success with the VX-3? WHat am I doing wrong? Thanks, Jim, WA5DXP
