[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available
by Mike Heitmann 27 Feb '12

27 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 27 Feb '12

27 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

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.

[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.

[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)

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

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.

[chirp_users] Quick Question
by James E. Wells (KDØAJZ) 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Will CHIRP have the ability to program the somewhat new Baofeng UV-3R HT? The reason I ask is that the software that you download is not all that great. I use it for my ICOM IC92AD and love it. So I am hoping to find out that CHIRP will be able to program this made in CHINA.

[chirp_users] Please help me program my radio
by Judy 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hi, I'm brand new to radio, just bought a Wouxun Dual band 2M/440 or 2M/220, and need help programming it. I have a Mac, but no cable. Wouxun says they don't know about Macs, but their cable requires a driver. They suggested I find a prolific USB driver somewhere, or ask CHIRP for help. I had found you through the downloadable programming tool on the Oro Valley Amateur Radio club. But you say my radio can be programmed with a little extra effort. What kind of extra effort? And should I buy the Wouxun cable that needs a driver? Does your CHIRP programming tool contain a driver for an iMac? Or is there someone who has this who would be willing to help me through his/her PC or mac? Thanks a whole lot. Judy 742-0911

[chirp_users] Alinco DR-135T Reset
by Kevin Pietriyk 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hello, I have an Alinco DR-135T (MkI) that is stuck in "Channel" mode. I can download/upload data to the radio, but I need to reset the radio to "Frequency" mode. This needs to be done in software, as Channel mode locks out button resets. I had a DOS program that would change radio settings, but it does not work with the new USB cable I have. CHIRP seems to not have a radio settings dialog. Any advice? I can program the radio with CHIRP, but I'd like to be able to enter frequencies in the VFO if needed. 73, Kevin N3UPM

I installed Chirp from a tar.gz file and it didn't show the Yaesu 857d, so I removed it. Then reinstalled it by adding ubuntu ppa, but do not see the 857d in the Yaesu selection. Did I do something wrong or isn't in the uuntu build?? Ed -- Stop organized crime. Re-elect no one.

When multiple people are working on a driver, it's often the case that patches will conflict because they both made edits to the directory listing. Further, it makes it harder to add/remove a module during development because you have to edit the directory. This patch introduces a "register" decorator in the directory module. Any driver claiming to implement a radio driver can decorate that class and have it automatically included in the directory. Thus, simply placing mydriver.py in the chirp module folder will cause it to be included.

[chirp_users] Need an OSX tester
by Dan Smith 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Hi all, The OSX builds have been broken since the translation stuff was put into the tree, but I only realized this a few days ago. I've got a new OSX runtime built with the following differences: 1. An updated python environment 2. GTK built with native Quartz support (X11 is no longer needed!) 3. An OSX-like theme that makes Chirp look a lot more "normal" on MacOS I need one or two people who are willing to install the new runtime and help me test a build. If you're interested, please email me directly and I'll get you the stuff. Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

I've never seen it before, but I'm not a Windows person (like, at all). You shouldn't need to install any dependencies to run chirp, but there are basic things on the system that are expected to be there and working, like the C/C++ runtimes. If those are broken on your system, then you'll have issues. The runtimes are used by the python environment, which is bundled with chirp, but not authored by me, so I don't really have visibility into what the connections are. In looking around, I see very few instances (relative to the rest of them) related to Python. However, this one may be relevant if the system is 64-bit: http://bugs.python.org/issue4284 You might try installing the 32-bit MSVC++ 2008 redistributable package linked in that bug to see if that resolves the issue. If not, I don't think there's much I can do for you without more information... -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

> The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration > is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail. This is not a chirp error, and appears (from a bit of googling) that it's related to some microsoft/windows libraries getting out of whack on your system. See the following link, and the rest of the hits google returns for "side by side configuration is incorrect": http://blogs.msdn.com/b/developingfordynamicsgp/archive/2010/08/20/side-by-… -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] Chirp not identifying Kenwood TM-V71
by Dale Mosby 10 Feb '12

10 Feb '12

I have been using Chirp with a Wouun KG-UV3D and USB cable for a couple months with no problems. Thanks for the useful utility. Today I finished up a mobile install of a Kenwood TV-V71A radio. I tried the stable version of Chirp (0.1.12) and also the daily build from Feb 9. When the program attempts to identify the radio it tells me that it is unable to probe the radio model. The odd thing is that it is printing the "V71" string which seems to indicate that there was some successful communication taking place. I am running this with a laptop running Ubuntu 11.04 and using he Kenwood USB to serial cable KPG-46U. I also have available a laptop running RHEL 6.2 but have not tried that yet. Any hints appreciated. Terminal trace info follows.

[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for Latest chirp-daily Build (was: New Daily Build)
by Mike Heitmann 07 Feb '12

07 Feb '12

All, Linux Fedora 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_02072012 Or: yum update chirp-daily_02072012-1.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_020… http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/SRPMS/chirp-daily_0207… Happy Testing, Mike, N0SO --- On Tue, 2/7/12, Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com> wrote: > From: Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com> > Subject: [chirp_users] New Daily Build > To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com > Date: Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 12:02 PM > Greetings, > > A new daily build of CHIRP is available.

[chirp_users] Using Chirp with Icom V82
by Amateur Radio WB8NUT 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

Is there anything special or sequence of keys needed to get Chirp to work with an Icom V82? I put the radio into Clone mode and try reading and writing. I have hit the PTT to read and write. In every case Chirp says it cannot determine the radio model number and gives an error. Any suggestions? Thanks, Duffy www.wb8nut.com

[chirp_users] Chirp and FT-7900 problem
by John 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Hi, I've download chirp and used it to program an Icom ic-2100h I now want to program a Yaesu FT-7900. I bought the USB cable from Kawa but am having a problem. If I plug in the cable into the data port the radio goes into tx until I plug in the USB then it goes to rx. But when I try to download the radio's content I get and error message that says "Failed to read header (0)" What am I doing wrong? Thanks, John K4AG

Re: [chirp_users] FT-817ND Writing problem
by Kurt Savegnago 29 Jan '12

29 Jan '12

Hi Marco, Here is the scan of my 817ND. I can get Chirp to log with what Dan sent me: CHIRP_DEBUG=y ./chirpw 2>&1 | tee debug.log I used these instructions: Could you please run in linux the attached script and send me the output: - copy the file to your chirp-devel directory in the chirp subdir (the same where the ft817.py file is) - cd to that dir - prepare the radio for the clone operation - run it with python./dump817nd.py /dev/ttyUSB1 2>&1 >/tmp/817dump - start radio clone tx wait for the clone to complete, the radio should complain "as usual" and the program should take a few seconds to finish after the actual data transfer is ended. Send the generated /tmp/817dump file. Please send also an image of the white label on the radio (the one with model, serial number etc): we have to find not only the protocol details but also a way to recognize the various radio sub models. ___________________________________________________________________________ I received the dump817nd.py file, stuck it in the same directory where ft817.py is located (chirp-daily-01232012/chirp and then used python./dump817nd.py /dev/ttyUSB1 2>&1 >/tmp/817dump While the rig is in clone mode. I had the radio send the memory contents to chirp and I did get a dumpfile I've attached. I apologize as I'm not a programmer. I guess that's a commandline level task. Actually, when the task was done, the 817ND flashed Error again on the screen. Boy, I don't know what you can make of that file. Took me awhile to figure out what I had to do but I think this is what was desired. Anything else I can do to help just send me the commands and I'll run 'em. :-) I did two runs and hence the 817 and 817a file Kurt KC9LDH --- On Sat, 1/28/12, Marco IZ3GME <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com> wrote: > From: Marco IZ3GME <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [chirp_users] FT-817ND Writing problem > To: "Discussion of CHIRP" <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> > Date: Saturday, January 28, 2012, 6:12 AM > Here is the script .... sorry ... > > 73 de IZ3GME Marco

Here is the log file and the first portion is a read from the 817ND. Again, once the read is successfully carried out the ND flashes ERROR but the data is read into the program correctly on the computer screen. I then did a write and the ND just sits there and doesn't give in indication whether or not with cloning/write operation was a success. This time I used a 9 pin serial cable that I paired with a USB/serial converter. I'll fire up FT-817 Commander and restore it back. The glitch causes a deep reset of the ND and I get the blue screen instead of the orange one I set. Best regards, Kurt Savegnago KC9LDH http://aprs.fi/?call=PARS&mt=roadmap&z=11&timerange=3600

by Ron McKenzie 23 Jan '12

Dan, When I attempt to start Chirp, I get the following error. Error Msg: The logfile 'C:\Program Files (x86)\CHIRP\chirpw.exe.log' could not be opened: (Errno 13) Permission denied: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\CHIRP\\chirpw.exe.log' I uninstalled Chirp and then reinstalled using chirp-daily-01212012-installer.exe and I still get this error. There is not chirpw.exe.log file, however, I do find the chirpw.exe file. Thanks & 73 de KK4DBR Ron
