This will help avoid silly things like exceptions when value can be coerced to an int, but isn't and thus can't be used for bitwise-ops. Catch-all bug: #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Mark the development branch's version number accordingly Bug #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add a match_model() to the XML driver, since it is now being asked to detect itself.

This also changes the logic in chirpui/clone.py that filters out drivers that can't be connected to an actual device. Related to Bug #102 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Add US FRS and GMRS Channels to stock_configs. #93 Changes for Build #56 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix more fallout from #102 in the XML driver

Related to Bug #65 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix the terminology in the Cross Modes definition so that it's more consistent. It was added to support Kenwood radios, which use DCS instead of DTCS and CTCSS instead of TSQL. This changes it to just "Tone" or "DTCS" for the transmit and receive modes. Related to Bug #65

[chirp_users] 857D problem
by Joseph Skoler 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hi, I just installed Chirp to program my new 857D. The interface/cable is working fine -- able to download/upload memories to/from the radio. My problem is that none of the UHF/VHF memories work on the rig if they're programmed using Chirp. That is, they're in memory and I can receive on them just fine. But, transmitting does not appear to work -- cannot key up the repeaters. I have quadruple checked the offset direction/amount as well as the PL. The 10 meter memory entries work fine. I have an SWR meter on the HF antenna port and it moves a tiny amount when I'm transmitting on a memory channel programmed to a VHF or UHF frequency, as if it's putting the signal out the HF port. When I program the memories manually everything works fine. What am I doing wrong? thank you, Joseph, kc2yu

Hi all, As planned and promised, I just posted 0.2.1 on the website for download. This release contains only the bare minimum of fixes against 0.2.0. The new version is available on the download page and the details are documented in the news item on the site: http://chirp.danplanet.com/news/3 Note that if you're running on the current daily builds then what you have is *newer* than this build. The intent of the maintenance releases are just to get fixes to users of the regular version more often. Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build now available
by Mike Heitmann 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '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_03222012 Or: yum update chirp-daily_daily_032220121.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_032… http://ham.n0so.net/fileadmin/ham/apps/rpm/fedora/16/SRPMS/chirp-daily_0322… Happy Testing, Mike, N0SO

Hi James, I was able to import your data file with no problems. I did not have to edit it. All I did was connect my radio, let chirp read it, then selected the B tab, saved my data (for backup), then did a file->import on your file. If the radio doesn't successfully read first, it's not talking to chirp and the file import will fail. Keep trying until it reads your data first. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to read the old data from the radio. If it does, your getting read errors. Mike, N0SO --- On Sun, 3/18/12, James E.

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-03202012 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #40 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Merge with stable branch [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [csv] Fix writing extra carriage returns in CSV files on Windows because of a peculiar behavior of the system CSV module. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] The RFinder guys changed their query mechanism _again_. At least this time it's sane. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [ic9x] Finish the port by adding bank support [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Allow cloning data from another Memory() object [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Some type conversion routines for concrete bitwise types [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [ic9x] Re-write the code that parses and generates IC9x frames to use bitwise. This is a long time coming, and it's significantly cleaner and easier to maintain now. Note that this broke bank support, but I'll follow up shortly with a fix for that. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix one-off error preventing us from properly updating the first column name in the bank membership editor. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Update RFinder driver to support their new super secret ultra secure authentication protocol.

[chirp_users] can't upload to 2820
by Brian Mury 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hello, I'm having problems uploading to my 2820 (downloading works). The upload progresses until the CHIRP progress bar has hit 100%, and the 2820 progress bar has *almost* hit 100%, then the window with the CHIRP progress bar closes, and the radio just sits there saying "CLONE IN", and showing the progress bar a pixel or two away from completion. I'm forced to power cycle the radio, at which point it resets to factory settings. I'm running Fedora 16, and was using chirp-0.1.12-5.fc16 from the repository. I've tried upgrading to chirp-0.2.0-1.fc16, also from the repository, and am seeing the same problem. I'm using the data port, not the speaker port. I dug out an old Windows laptop and tried the Icom CS-2820 software - it works, so the radio and cable both work. This used to work for me. I haven't used CHIRP in quite some time as I haven't needed to make any changes to the radio's programming, so unfortunately I can't say when it stopped working. Here's the relevant portion of the output when run from a terminal: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Clone thread started Starting HiSpeed: 000: fe fe fe fe fe fe fe fe ........ 008: fe fe fe fe fe fe fe fe ........ 016: fe fe fe fe ee ef e8 29 .......) 024: 70 00 01 00 00 02 01 fd p.......

[chirp_users] ICOM 92AD
by James E. Wells (KDØAJZ) 18 Mar '12

OKAY... This is strange. I turned the radio off. Started the program. Told it to read the radio. It started to read the radio but it said error on each line. I turned the radio on and it went back and filled in where it did not read at first. In other words I had to turn the radio on after I started the download from the radio. I do not understand. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- James Earl Wells KDØAJZ Blue Springs Amateur Radio Club Output 444.950 MHz Input: + offset PL=107.2 Hz Output 147.015 MHz Input: + offset PL=151.4 Hz Member ARRL Jackson County-Missouri ARES

Re: [chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UVD1P connection
by Dan Smith 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

> I use the wouxun and commander programs on the PC Okay, it may be worth trying chirp on Windows, if you can, just to rule out any issues with the driver on MacOS. Part of the problem is that the chinese manufacturers regularly make multiple versions of the "same" radio that speak a different language or have subtle differences with no visual markings to distinguish them. If it doesn't work on Windows, then that may be biting us here. Also, if you could get and send the debug.log from the Mac, that will help us determine if it's not seeing any data from the radio, or if something more detailed is going on. Instructions for getting your debug log are here: http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/How_To_Report_Issues I assume you're using 0.2.0? -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] 92AD
by James E. Wells (KDØAJZ) 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

Okay, here is the deal. If I start the software with the radio on and ask it to read the radio it sends Error messages in all memory slots. My RS232 cable shows that it is transmitting but not receiving. If I turn the radio off and then right back on it transmits and receives and it starts filling in the memory slots. It will go back and fill in the slots that had Errors in them and then it goes idle. It will not give me Bank Names nor does it have what bank the memory is in in both the A and B side. The DStar does not register and the Banks in the B side do not show. When I try to import a file it lets me pick the file and then a box opens with some of the memories in it and I tell it to do all of them. Then the bottom of the screen says something about the memory but I do not remember what it says but it looks like it is stuck and then Chirp produces a Not Responding Message and it will not recover so I have to shut it down with the Task Manager. Now instead of even trying to load the file it just goes to Not Responding. Not sure why it will not read the radio unless I turn it off and then turn it on. That is my report for the day.

If anyone here has an ICOM 92AD and is using Chirp with no problems can you please send me the instructions on how you do it? I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work and it keeps telling me that it can not find the model of my radio. I have the GPS turned off. I have the radio at least five feet away from the computer. I turn the radio on first then start the software. I select ICOM and Port 5 and the bottom box says “Detect”. We I click okay. It does nothing until the box comes up and says that it can not find my model of radio.

Downloaded the latest build. I am still having the problem that the program will not find the model of my ICOM. I have an ICOM 92AD. There has only been a few that have been able to read the radio without giving the error that it could not get the model of my radio. Does anyone have something that has to be turned off or on on the radio to allow the program to read the files on the radio. I am running Windows Vista AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor TK-57.

[chirp_users] Need Windows test help
by Dan Smith 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

Hi all, I think I tracked down the issue recently uncovered on Windows Vista and 7, regarding weird display issues. I would really appreciate it if a few people could grab and test the following build: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/gtk-test/ I would like to hear from someone on each of Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Please download and install, and report the version numbers shown in the Help->About box. Then, please do some downloading, uploading, importing, and editing to make sure that it's stable and functional. It looks like the issue resulting in the weird behavior on Windows Vista/7 might have been causing other minor instabilities in all versions of Windows, so this will be good to get fixed. Note that this has no effect on the Linux or MacOS builds at all. Thanks, and I hope to hear from some testers soon so we can get this pushed out in an official daily tomorrow. -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] [PATCH] [vx5] bugfix, power levels, and 8-char names

Here are 3 patches for the VX5 driver. I hope attachments work; I don't know how to use hg email!

This last one was a significant bug. The VX5 has a bit for each memory called "visible". From the VX5, you can mask a memory, rendering it invisible. When chirp was creating a new memory, it was not setting this bit, so newly added memories were invisible! The original tester must have only tried editing existing memories where the "visible" bit was already set. Tom KD7LXL
