Happy new year to all users and ther family. I tried to install the new build on Ubuntu 12.04 and was unsuccessful. I downloaded this iso image and burned it to disk then tried to install via disk. no luck. Then I copied all files into a chirp dir and even tried to install from the Terminal. No Luck Even followerd the instructions on chip web site via terminal. Guess i am half brain dead as every attempt was unsuccessful. Any pointers as to why? Regards -- 73's Chris KC5IZR

I installed CHIRP for my XP platform and read/wrote to my Yaesu 857d and wouxun FB, worked first time :) Thank you. My question now is any information for CHIRP on the Anytone AT-588UV - AT-5888UV ? Dual band, with receive of 2 meters 440 and 220-260, 758 memory channels, cross band repeat. I love the radio and purchased it from importcommunications.com here in NC, Ed does a FB job. Thanks, 73 N5NNS George

Re: [chirp_users] An early Christmas present for CHIRP users
by B Giff 27 Dec '12

Joe, Glad you got it working. The liveCD will not save anything to your computer. This is by design to prevent someone from accidentally damaging their Windows installation. If you would like to save the radio files, I recommend one of the following: 1) the "easier" method: after you boot the CD, insert a USB flash drive into a USB port. A window should open. At the top of the window you should see something like 'media disk' or 'media-4B3A' (just examples, not exactly what you will see). This is your USB drive. Linux doesn't use drive letters like Windows does. Anyway, in Chirp, use Save As and either save to the folder /media/whatever (from the top of the window) or save to the desktop and drag and drop. Note: do NOT pull the usb drive out until AFTER you shutdown/reboot the computer. Doing so could corrupt the files on the usb drive (Windows used to be like this too). 2) the preferred method: create a bootable USB (liveUSB) using the instructions on the wiki page of the download site. From there, boot to the USB drive. When you save, it will save to the USB drive. Same warning as above, don't remove the usb drive until after you shutdown/reboot into Windows. Several people use the liveCD or liveUSB as their primary radio loader, but honestly, that isn't what I built it for. My intent was to get people up and running so they wouldn't throw the radio across the room. Then, knowing that the radio works, the user could get Chirp working on Windows at their leisure. Let me know how you fare with the save. Bob

I have been able to read from my radio, a Wouxum� KG-UV3D, the 2m/440 version. I can upload the 2m data from the radio but not the 440. I have set Chirp to read all 128 memories, but only the 38 2m frequencies show up. Am I doing something wrong or is this a limitation of the software? I am using a Mac running OS X 10.6.8; the Mac OS X version of Chirp Version 0.2.3 (GTK 2.24.10, PyGTK 2.22.0, and Python 2.7.2). The cable is a Wouxun WXUSB USB programming cable. Anyone have any suggestions? Ed, KK4LAL
