[chirp_users] Chirp - Yaesu FT-987D
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 28 May '12

28 May '12

Hello, I tried Chirp both for Windows XP and for Linux / Ubuntu. Since the version in the PPA for ham radio in Ubuntu is not the latest, I installed from the compressed file on the chrip web downloads page. I also downloaded and installed the Windows exe and installed it on the same laptop - dual booting into Windows XP or Ubuntu Precise. I am using a G4ZIP dual usb interface - it does CAT and Sound Card modes. In Windows it uses COM4 and under Linux it uses /dev/ttyUSB1 although /dev/ttyUSB0 is also available but I think that's the external sound card in the G4ZIP interface. Both versions don't list the Yaesu FT-897 so I used the Yaesu FT-857 US Version instead. I tried the Linux version - no luck downloading - I got the error was expecting 4 something and received 0 error message. I noticed I could set to ;/dev/ttyUSB0 or USB1 but I could NOT set the baud rate which is 38,400. In Linux I looked at the devices: ls /dev/ttyUS? -l I saw they belonged the group dialout so I added my username to group dialout using sudo adduser username dialout and logged my user out and rebooted the system. No luck. I tried putting the FT897 into memory mode when starting, and I tried leaving it in VFO mode. Is there something I'm missing? 73 David J.

[chirp_users] FT-7900
by Scott Currie 28 May '12

28 May '12

Hi All, I have been assisting new Hams with programming their radios, and have had good success using Chirp, however today I ran into a problem with a FT-7900r, which I believe is supported. When attempt to download from radio, I select Yaesu, but there is no FT-7900 available in the model pull down. Am I missing something here? -Scott

[chirp_users] Bank control fro Yaesu radios
by Sonny Hughes 24 May '12

24 May '12

Hello, I currently have 3 radios an FT-2900 (which doesn't appear to be supported at all) a 7900 (which might work as a 7800 but haven't tried) and an FT-60R which works great except for bank assignments. Picking through the Chirp_devel and users sites it seems that Chirp supports bank operations for some radios but I haven't been able to tell which ones. Can someone point me to a list? Thanks! -- Ralph (Sonny) Hughes, CISSP, CSSLP, PMP Prattville, AL --------------------------------------------------------------- Oderint dum metuant -Lucius Accius

[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build now available
by Mike Heitmann 24 May '12

24 May '12

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/ I know it says d-rats, the chirp files are in the same repository. After setting up the repository, open the "Add/Remove Software" tool and go to "software sources" under the system menu. Make sure the "KK7DS Ham Apps Beta Software" line is checked (enabled). For some reason, the Fedora package manager likes the beta versions better that the daily builds, so you may not see the daily release in the list the first time you update. If you don''t see it, open a terminal window and enter: yum update chirp-daily_20120524 Or: yum update chirp-daily_20120524-1.fc16 That should install the latest daily build. For those who don''t wish to use the repository but still want the RPM (binary or source), please look here: http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/noarch/chirp-daily_201… http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/SRPMS/chirp-daily_2012… Happy Testing, Mike, N0SO
