[chirp_users] MacOS Version of Chirp
by IT2 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR 03 Mar '09

ALCON: I have been a Unix System Administrator for many years, and in fact would be quite capable of testing, compiling, or generating object code on my Intel Mac for the benefit of the community. My understanding of the current Apple Development Kit is that you can generate Intel based code on the PPC, whether it is "Universal" code for any target processor (PPC or Intel), or Intel specific (and optimized) code that is intended for only the Intel chip. Now I understand this is mostly written in Python, anyway, but, just some food for thought here. I saw where someone was speaking of a ".19" version (beta?) but given the open source nature of the software, was surprised to not see it on the download site. One thing I had been working on was a decoder for reading the code plug from an "ICF" file. Now that I see this software is here, I would be willing to try to integrate that into Chirp such that we could at least read and for sure try to shoot for writing "ICF" files compatible with the ICOM software for Windows. -- Very Respectfully, IT2 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR Las Vegas, NV / Beverly Hills, CA / Philadelphia, PA / Washington, DC Amateur Radio Call Sign: N3GWG (Extra) / Marine Radio Operator Permit (MROP) email: teners(a)bh90210.net (also carbon copies to my Blackberry) phone: +(1) 310.358.0202 (Beverly Hills, CA, forwards to mobile phone) phone: +(1) 215.338.6005 (Philadelphia, PA, voice mail only) E-Fax: +(1) 928.437.4505 (Telecopier, fax to email gateway) Military emails (checked monthly until remote NMCI access is secured) NIPRNET: stuart.tener(a)navy.mil NIPRNET: stuart.b.tener(a)us.army.mil NRO: teners(a)nro.mil TS/SCI: tenerstu(a)nro.ic.gov (GWAN) Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and/or privileged information, though strictly at the UNCLASSIFIED level.

I can run Chirp 0.1.8 on Leopard if I do the following: I have installed the python 'serial' and 'gtk' packages through macports. Therefore I need to include the statement: export PYTHONPATH=/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages into my environment startup file. You may have a different place. I also needed to alter a line in 'Platform.py' because of the slightly different names of the USB serial ports. I changed it to: def list_serial_ports(self): return sorted(glob.glob("/dev/ttyS*") + glob.glob("/dev/ ttyUSB*") + glob.glob("/dev/tty.usb*")) (Note the 3rd part - the serial USB ports on my system are all labelled "/dev/tty.usbxxxxx") With those to changes, I 'cd'd to the directory and ran: ./chirpw with success. If you have not played with the default X11 set-up, then X11 should start automatically when needed. (BTW, I'm using the X11-2.3.2.1.dmg X11 distribution if that matters - I doubt it). I have an IC-91AD that connects through an FTDI chip to the USB port. I also have the FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_10.dmg drivers installed. Hope this helps someone. Susan

[chirp_users] How to convert from 800-2820 and back?
by dave＠proficia.com 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Please excuse the ignorance. Apparently I was absent the day that we went over this. What is the correct (or succesful) procedure for converting a file from an 800 icf file to a 2820 icf file? I can import into Chirp and save as a Chirp or img file. Is there no way to save as an ICF file that the cs-d800 or cs-2820 software can read other than to load directly into the radio with Chirp then read it back out with the icom software?

[chirp_users] What it does and how ?
by Steven Samuel Bosshard (NU5D) 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Is there a repository of information about what exactly chirp does and how to use ? It looks like native chirp files do not apply to 91/92 radios. Just looking for a what is what page. Also it seems when I export from a 91 / 92 to csv, then use open office calc to edit the file, that there is a data mismatch error trying to re-open in chirp, even if I don't (knowingly) change anything.

[chirp_users] Info

I have both a 91 and 92 here on the desk. The 91 is programmed to my liking. Is there a quick step by step on how to transport the contents (memories) from the 91 to the 92 ? Sorry I am kinda dense on this and please be patient. (both radios communicate with the chirp. I can save and load csv files. I get a schema error trying to load *.chirp files).

ALCON: I have both an ICOM IC-91AD and IC-2820 as well as a MacBook Pro running MacOS 10.5.6, and would like to know when a version of Chirp might be forthcoming for the Mac.

[chirp_users] Special channels
by David Tilson 14 Feb '09

Me again... Understanding that you are one busy dude and that this has possibly dropped off your radar, because I haven't hassled you for a while, but when you have a spare 5 minutes could you please add the ability to export / import the special channels (eg: C0, C1, etc) to/from the CSV file routines. Thanks, davidt
