The chirp download site and the linux instructions have all been updated in the last few days. https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download and https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux Dan and I worked together to iron those out for both the Ubuntu/debian versions and the fedora based versions, so those instructions should work on almost all current linux systems using python 3.

[chirp_users] Bug report and an introduction
by zvonimirek222＠yandex.com 28 Mar '23

28 Mar '23

Hi to all list members, I am Zvonimir stanecic from Croatia, 9a5dsz. I am using Crt mikron radio and i am trying to program mit, but i am facing the problem which is called inaccessible interface of the chirp daily. No matter the platform which i am using, Linux or Windows, i have the problem with NVDA screen reader to interact with the program controls via the keyboard. When i am arrowing with the arrow keys, screen reader doesn't read the content of the table in the memory tab, plus i cannot change settings on the settings tab of the chirp interface for the radio itself, because the interface is not accessible to the screen reader. What it should work in the case, is that all actions should be spoken by the screen reader. As i know, the accessibility adaptation can be done, because wx is used here to construct the dialog. Note that i can use the menu, plus select the radio and download from radio, plus upload to it, but for other options i need sighted assistance, which is not the option. I hope that the problem is understandable. Have a nice day, Zvonimir

[chirp_users] KG-UV9D Mate issues, debug, and proposed change
by Jonathan Johnson 25 Mar '23

25 Mar '23

Hi, first off I want to say thank you for this excellent software! I'd like to report some issues with the KG-UV9D Mate support. I have debugged some channel memory loading issues and would like to report my findings and suggested changes. I can report what works for my scenario but of course you may have more information about previously reported issues with this radio so my proposed changes are only suggestions on how to deal with the issues. My testing and debug has all been done with CHIRP-next from github.com/kk7ds/chirp, commit 60f989ccb337ad4a36a24bcc964948ae453c47cf and using the "KG-UV9D Plus" driver as recommended on a table I found on the website. There are 2 separate but related issues I've seen while using CHIRP-next. Issue #1: There are some valid channels in my radio that CHIRP doesn't see as valid. Example channels shown below that should be valid but aren't interpreted as valid by CHIRP: 1, 3, 4 The "valid" or "state" information for each of those channels is found in the second to last column of rows 1, 3, and 4 of the following: DEBUG: Config read (0xa00): 0x0a00: 00 dd d1 28 00 dc e6 c8 04 0b 04 0b 03 d0 01 00 ...(............ 0x0a10: 02 a6 71 a4 02 ae 12 c4 03 e8 03 e8 03 d0 02 00 ..q............. 0x0a30: 02 a1 d4 00 02 a9 75 20 03 e8 03 e8 03 d0 01 00 ......u ........ 0x0a60: 02 a1 63 b2 02 a9 04 d2 04 30 04 30 03 d0 80 00 ..c......0.0.... In other words, this dump shows that "state" values of 0x01 and 0x80 can be considered valid. In chirp/drivers/kguv9dplus.py I see the following related code starting at line 1423: if (_valid != MEM_VALID and _valid != 0 and _valid != 2 and _valid != 0x40): # In Issue #6995 we can find _valid values of 0 and 2 in the IMG # so these values should be treated like MEM_VALID. # state value of 0x40 found in deleted memory - still shows in CPS mem.empty = True return mem For context, MEM_VALID and MEM_INVALID definitions are: MEM_VALID = 0xfc MEM_INVALID = 0xff So it seems that CHIRP already has some exceptions to the idea that only a "state" value of 0xFC means a valid memory channel. Values 0, 2, and 0x40 were previously made exceptions and counted as valid memory channels. My memory dump shows that 0x1 and 0x80 should also be added to that list. Issue #2: I also encountered what is essentially the opposite problem. In my radio I don't have any valid channels after channel 314. However, CHIRP is interpreting the download from the radio as having channels 998 and 999 valid. This results in errors because the rest of the data for those channels is invalid. Channels 998 and 999 correspond to rows 2 and 3 of the below output (again, the "state" byte is the second to last column): DEBUG: Config read (0x4840): 0x4840: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff fd ff ff ................ 0x4850: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 0f 5d 00 00 .............].. 0x4870: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 0f 5d 00 00 .............].. 0x48a0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ................ So now we have an example of "state" value of 0 being used for an invalid channel memory. This is in contradiction to the existing code shown above that makes "state" value of 0 be interpreted as a valid channel. What I would propose here is that the exception for "state" values of 0, 2, 0x40 (and now 0x1 and 0x80) only be applied if the receive frequency is valid (i.e. not 0xFFFFFFFF) and the channel memory name is not blank. There is precedent for something very similar in some existing code at line 1417 of the same file: # Override Mem Valid state to handle quirky 9PX CPS New codeplug # issue where there is a channel programmed but the CPS # "state" value is 0xFF indicating an invalid memory if _valid == MEM_INVALID and _mem.rxfreq != 0xFFFFFFFF and _nam != '': _valid = MEM_VALID So my overall patch to fix both issues (at least for my particular memory dump) is as follows: diff --git a/chirp/drivers/kguv9dplus.py b/chirp/drivers/kguv9dplus.py index cc0f3df8..77df32e0 100644 --- a/chirp/drivers/kguv9dplus.py +++ b/chirp/drivers/kguv9dplus.py @@ -1420,8 +1420,7 @@ class KGUV9DPlusRadio(chirp_common.CloneModeRadio, if _valid == MEM_INVALID and _mem.rxfreq != 0xFFFFFFFF and _nam != '': _valid = MEM_VALID - if (_valid != MEM_VALID and _valid != 0 and _valid != 2 and - _valid != 0x40): + if (_valid != MEM_VALID and not (_valid in [0, 2, 0x40, 0x3, 0x1, 0x80] and _mem.rxfreq != 0xFFFFFFFF and _nam != '')): # In Issue #6995 we can find _valid values of 0 and 2 in the IMG # so these values should be treated like MEM_VALID. # state value of 0x40 found in deleted memory - still shows in CPS Again, thank you for your efforts developing this software and I hope this report is useful.

[chirp_users] Chirp On Puppy Linux
by John KB2SCS 25 Mar '23

25 Mar '23

Hi All To run the python 2 version of chirp I would download the .tar.gz file and extract it to a directory. I would then open a terminal window in that directory. Then run Chirp with the following command Python Chirpw.py I am trying to run the python 3 version of chirp using the same method. My first problem is there is not any chirps.py file to run so I have no idea which file is the one I should run. My question is how do I run the latest version of chirp running the source code? Thank you all for your time in reading this email. Best regards John

[chirp_users] Default factory images server…
by Jerry Kuhn 25 Mar '23

25 Mar '23

Hello, Many years back, I remember there being a massive FTP server that had the motherload of default chirp images for many radios, mainly Baofeng/BTech, but other brands as well. The images were cleanly and carefully catalogued not only by brand and model, but by firmware versions. While I don’t need any of them at the moment, I was hoping to relocate this sever and just download (clone) the entire site. While I always do first download from new radios and save their default image, over time my files have become less organized, plus I had a recent drive failure. I’m looking to just make an entirely new index of default factory images and store them in several locations (including clouds). I just started putting a new archive together with what I still have, but if this site still exists it would make for a much easier starting point. Anyone remember the location of this server (if it stop exists)? I can’t find any old bookmarks for it on my systems. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone 13 Pro Max

FYI. The info at :- https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux Is in error regarding adding a user to a group on Debian based systems. The example terminal command under "Serial port permissions" should be.... *$ sudo adduser $USER dialout* Note: Just $USER and no quotes! The system of couse, will ask for the users password. And then as said, Logout and Log back in again for it to take effect. This has been checked on Linux Mint, a derivative of Ubuntu, from Debian of course. 73. Dave G8KBV.

Hi, I just downloaded the most recent CHIRP-next MacOS version chirp-next-20230311.app.zip on MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 on M1 processor. I was able to download from my radio and upload. I did find 2 possible issues that I did not find a bug report for. 1 - when I selected the download from radio, I selected the wrong port. After it could not connect, all options on all menu items were greyed out, I could not even quit Chirp. I had to kill it. Is this expected behavior? 2 - I had selected query source -> RepeaterBook. Selected state of Colorado, filter of a county, and Limit bands to 2 meter and 70 centimeter and ran ok. It came up with a list of repeaters. I then selected RepeaterBook again, selected another county, limit bands was not selected but when I clicked on it, it showed what I had selected before. Then had to click OK each time. Is this expected behavior? Would have been nice to already have it selected. Onrepeaterbook.com website you can filter by state and highway. Is this something you might be able to do in the future with chirp-next? Could be useful traveling cross country. I can write a bug report if needed.

[chirp_users] Support of radio
by Jeffrey Vian 10 Mar '23

10 Mar '23

I have a new baofeng that was just given to me. The radio is UV-82L and was purchased by my ARC 2 or 3 years ago and programmed using chirp at that time. I wanted to update the programming but have not been able to do so with either chirp-next or the legacy chirp that is on the download site. The individual that originally programmed it does not remember which type of radio he used for the original programming. So far I have tried every supported baofeng model and the radioddity models as well but none are able to download the existing programming so it could be modified and updated. Does anyone have a clue if chirp is even able to communicate with this radio today? and if so then what brand/model should be used to do so? The club still has several of these that are used as door prizes and for club use. Jeff KI7GJG

[chirp_users] installing CHIRP-next problems
by Jeffrey Vian 10 Mar '23

10 Mar '23

I run Fedpra Linux version 37 which has python 3.11 I have previously used CHIRP and am upgrading to the newer python3 version but am encountering several issues. Each time I try to launch the new version I get an error, and have been working through them one at a time (which mostly requires installing a python package not previously installed). I have, however, hit one that I cannot find the proper fix for. ---- File "/home/USERNAME/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/attrdict/mapping.py", line 4, in <module> from collections import Mapping ImportError: cannot import name 'Mapping' from 'collections' (/usr/lib64/python3.11/collections/__init__.py) [end of output] ---- Looking at the collections module installed for the system it does not seem to have the Mapping module as the error states and I cannot figure out how to fix that issue. Does someone with python experience have any suggestions? Jeff KI7GJG

[chirp_users] Chirp next, Ubuntu 22.04 no download window
by Perneczky Miklós 10 Mar '23

10 Mar '23

Hi guys, I have a pair of BF888, I wanted to do some changes in their config after a long time. I run into the problem that my old cable with PL2023TA is not compatible with w11, the chirp next does not open any window on ubuntu 22.04 if I click download from radio, and if I install here the old chirp version, that downloads crap (loads my saved files also with bad data). Chirp next loads the saved config files correctly. I would like to focus on chirp next on u22.04 and make that work. If I run it from console, this is what I see, when I try to download from radio: myuseronmylaptop:~$ chirp-snap.chirp 21:19:40: Debug: Failed to connect to session manager: Could not open network socket 21:19:40: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file' 21:19:40: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file' 21:19:40: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file' WARNING: Did not find localedir: /snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chirp/locale Traceback (most recent call last): File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chirp/wxui/main.py", line 1166, in _menu_download with clone.ChirpDownloadDialog(self) as d: File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chirp/wxui/clone.py", line 225, in __init__ self.set_ports() File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chirp/wxui/clone.py", line 283, in set_ports system_ports = list_ports.comports() File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/serial/tools/list_ports_linux.py", line 102, in comports for info in [SysFS(d) for d in devices] File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/serial/tools/list_ports_linux.py", line 102, in <listcomp> for info in [SysFS(d) for d in devices] File "/snap/chirp-snap/561/lib/python3.10/site-packages/serial/tools/list_ports_linux.py", line 48, in __init__ num_if = int(self.read_line(self.usb_device_path, 'bNumInterfaces')) TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a real number, not 'NoneType' Do you have any hint what I should try?

Hello all, just a question before I post a feature request: in CHIRP next is there a way in UI to change the interface language? (at the moment it detects Windows locale and there is no way to change it other than deleting locale and po files) Thanks

[chirp_users] Need Help with Yaesu VX-3 and CHIRP
by Jim Overstreet 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

I have tried everything in the instructions and cannot get Chirp to communicate with the radio. As per the instructions, you turn the radio off, connect the USB cable, then turn on the radio while holding down the F/W key which puts the radio in CLONE mode which shows on the display. Then, you hit the band key and it tries to communicate with the radio. At first, it looks like it will work but after about 20 seconds ERROR appears in the display. I followed the instructions just as shown when you start the process, but always get the ERROR message. Just wondering if anyone has had success with the VX-3? WHat am I doing wrong? Thanks, Jim, WA5DXP

[chirp_users] Changing data Baofeng UV5
by Julian Macassey 18 Feb '23

18 Feb '23

I gave up trying to programme my Baofeng UV-5RV2+ using the previous CHIRP release. When CHIRP next came out, I thought maybe I could get it to programme my radio. I went through the steps to grab an *img file and load it into the radio. Then I saved it with modifications then downloaded, with a window saying "cloning". Exiting CHIRP, turning the radio off and on does NOT change the file. Am I doing something wrong?
