[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available
by Mike Heitmann 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '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_daily_02272012 Or: yum update chirp-daily_daily_022720121.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_022… http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/SRPMS/chirp-daily_0227… Happy Testing, Mike, N0SO

[chirp_users] FT8900R Upload Issue
by Jim Yates 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

I'm using a cable from Kawa on Ebay on Mac OS X Lion with the Open Source driver from http://sourceforge.net/projects/osx-pl2303/. I can download from the radio, but when I try and upload it errors out. I'm using the daily build from Feb 27th. The log should show a successful download, followed by two upload attempts.

[chirp_users] ICOM 92AD
by James E. Wells (KDØAJZ) 27 Feb '12

I understand that the GPS has to be turned off to use Chirp. However I can not figure out if it is on or off or how to turn it off. Anyone here have the ICOM 92AD? I have looked through the User Manual and it does not say anything about turning the GPS on or off.

Downloaded the latest build and extracted it and everything is working fine, just made some changes, added several repeaters and adjusted power several places and uploaded back to the radio and they worked. Ed

[chirp_users] YAESU 857D results
by Ed Stewart / KB3WRX 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

Good Morning, I tried the windows XP box and there is no selection for the Yaesu 857D so I picked several other models and got instant errors, I use linux ubuntu of this laptop and installed the latest build on here and get the exact same error on this machine as on the desktop running the same os. The menories in the radio were set using the windows Yaesu software by a friend, maybe there is a problem with the one memory block on the radio, the download is almost complete when the error shows. here id a screensot. Ed Stop organized crime. Re-elect no one.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-02252012 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #26 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix Icom 7200 driver for integral hertz change (long ago) and also update it to work with the recent changes to the Icom CI-V driver [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add Icom IC-7000 Support Note that the 7000 is an atypical radio for HF and VHF/UHF support. It does not store things like per-memory offsets, for example. However, this should be fairly complete otherwise, in terms of the commonly-used functions. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make MemoryMap.__str__ return the packed form [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix the memory editor to not assume a radio supports FM as a default mode and also persist the mode across edits (so new memories take the mode of the last edit by default)

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-02242012 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #25 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add Icom ID-31A support This is imperfect because of the increased complexity over other D-STAR radios, but it should be close enough for most people. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Extend the ICF cloning code to support radios with large memories. This includes (at least) the ID-31 and any other radio with memory size greater than or equal to 0x10000 bytes. Also fix .icf file import. Also, tweak the echo cancellation code to work with the ic-rx7 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add valid_dtcs_pols list, basically so we can support receive-only devices [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Make chirp.py work with dynamic registration

I have no problem installing the tar.gz file and getting a icon on my panel, but am not sure how to install a daily build, where do I extract it to? Ed -- Stop organized crime. Re-elect no one.

With Linux, open in home directory: gzip -cd chirp-daily-XXX | tar xfv - I then move my old saved rig files to the new directory or one could just save the rig files in a separate file and always save to that separate file. When happy with the new build, delete the old one.
