[chirp_users] Anytone AT-5888UV
by Phaeton 26 Jan '13

26 Jan '13

Anyone developing support for the Anytone AT-5888UV? I own two radios and to be honest their software sucks big time. It will crash if you breath too hard sitting at your PC. Not sure what all the program developers would need to work on software for this radio, but I'd be willing to contribute actual programmed files and the software can be downloaded from imporcommunications.com. The Prolific USB driver is included. I'd also donate some cash to help out there as long as I knew work was being done for supporting this rig. Sent from my 15.4" MacBook Pro, i7 quad core

[chirp_users] CHIRP daily-20130122 fail to read Wouxun KG-UV6D
by Phaeton 26 Jan '13

26 Jan '13

Prolific driver for OS-X Mountain Lion 32 and 64 bit installed correctly. Verified using: ioreg -c IOSerialBSDClient | grep usb and kextstat | grep usb port appears in /dev as cu.usbserial device shows up in networking as cu.usbserial device shows up in chirp as USB-Serial (name I gave it.) When I read from the radio the read (clone) dialog box appears but no data is received, the green light on the radio doesn't blink and then after a few seconds a dialog box stating communication error appears. Anything I'm missing? Sent from my 15.4" MacBook Pro, i7 quad core

[chirp_users] Call for papers ;)
by IZ3GME Marco 25 Jan '13

Hi all in a few weeks I'm going to organize a presentation of chirp at local club. The idea is to show how it works (from end user point of view), how to use it with different radios and then have a quick look on what supporting a new model mean. Before to reinvent the weel, is there any one that have slides or similar docs (maybe from previous presentation) that can save me some work? More, any suggestion for the "user point of view" will be greatly appreciated. Tnx 73 de IZ3GME Marco

[chirp_users] Channel program problem
by Bill Gabbard 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

I've a Baofeng UV-5RA and when importing local repeaters in Chirp (only been using since 1/11 & VIP before then & same problem), in Channel Mode it will not ping one of 4 local repeaters but if I set it in VFO Mode, no problems. In Channel Mode, I can hear other local repeaters but one I've programmed; RX Freq.=147.180 TX Freq.=147.780 Tone=151.4 Offset=00.600 FYI, I've 2 other Ts, a Yaseau FT-11 & a B-K LPH-5142 of which both can get the repeater, I can't talk to either of these from my Baofeng While in Channel Mode but can in VFO Mode. Any suggestions appreciated. 73s Bill

[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available
by Mike Heitmann 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

All, Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available in the KK7DS Ham-Apps yum repository. To add the repository as a software source, please follow these instructions: http://www.d-rats.com/component/content/article/30-d-rats-yum-repository/ For those who don't wish to use the repository, or who may want to build from source themselves the RPMs are available for download here: http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/17/noarch/chirp-daily_2013012… http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/17/SRPMS/chirp-daily_20130120… Fedora Users NOTE: Fedora 18 was released a few days ago. Fedora 18 RPMs are not in the KK7DS repository yet. Once we get fully switched over to the new release the builds going into the repository will become Fedora 18 builds. For now, you can get Fedora 18 RPMs here: http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/18/noarch/chirp-daily_2013011… http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/18/SRPMS/chirp-daily_20130119… The Fedora 18 RPMs will not be updated as frequently as the "daily" until we get fully switched over, because that build process is not automated. For more information about Fedora 18, check out the Fedora Project website: http://fedoraproject.org/ FYI: Fedora 18 RPMs for D-RATS are also in the same folder on the N0SO website: http://n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/18/ Another NOTE: Each time an announcement for a new chirp daily build is sent, the Fedora Linux binary RPM for that build should be available in the KK7DS repository within a few hours. Once in a while we have "snafu" that interferes with that automatic process, but for the most part you can count on the latest daily build being in the repository. I stopped sending an announcement to the list for each build to avoid it being considered SPAM. Enjoy and 73, Mike, N0SO
