I just downloaded yesterdays build in tar.gz format and it installed flawlessly. I am using the Zorin make over of Ubuntu. I gave up on M$ ever making a good os in 2002 and this laptop and my hotrod desktop both only run linux, Chrip opens no problems other than my cable hasn't got here yet. Ed -- Try being informed, instead of Opinionated!! Linux,limited only by your imagination and your ability to learn!!

[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 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '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

[chirp_users] USB<--> RS-232 cables
by Mike Heitmann 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

All the programming cable discussions prompted me to pass this tip someone else gave me along: On the recommendation of someone I met at the D-RATS booth in Dayton this year, I've made several programming cables using these devices: http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBRS232.htm They terminate to bare wires so you can put whatever connector you need on the end. It's also easy to slip a copper braid over the wire for shielding if that is required. I've had no issues using them on Windows or Linux. Mouser sells them: http://www.mouser.com/Search/m_ProductDetail.aspx?FTDI/USB-RS232-WE-1800-BT… This model is RS-232, but they have them for TTL an RS-422 as well. I'm using them for radio programming and D-RATS data with my IC-2820, IC92 and ID-880, and for radio CAT/PTT/CW keying with my IC-706 and K2 HF radios. The '706 CAT cable is connected homebrewed CIV circuit covered with black heat shrink tubing. It makes a nice, compact cable. The '92AD requires the addition of a DB9 connector to mate with the ICOM radio cable unless you're willing to sacrifice it and cut it's DB9 off. Mike Heitmann, N0SO

I have a problem retrieving (re-opening) files saved in CHIRP format: "error: unable to open schema". Is there a bug or my config error? I have got three radios I want to keep aligned in memories: - IC2820E - ICE92D - TH-D72E The only way I have is to save memories in CSV files, and separated memories for FM and DV channels. Is there another way to do this? *73 de Leo, IZ5FSA *

Not sure if its permissible to ask a question here. If not, please inform where. I D/L and used the latest CHIRP to program my Icom IC-2200 as well as a china UV_3V mini HT, both programmed successfully using the driver that came with the USB cable for the IC-2200. In other words, same cable and driver worked ok for both radios.. Next I purchased a cable for my FT-2800 Yaesu but I get a read header error. This cable also came with a driver but an inspection indicates this driver is identical to the prolithic driver on the IC-2200 driver disk. Why dosent it work? Any advice appreciated... 73, MIKE K5HUM

[chirp_users] Attention please, users of the Ubuntu-hams PPA
by Steve Conklin 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

What follows is a message recently sent to the Ubuntu-hams mailing list. I know there are some people on this list who use the Ubuntu-hams PPA, and we're trying to reach as many people as we can about this change. Steve AI4QR ========================================================= QST QST QST. ACTION IS REQUIRED BY YOU if you use the ubuntu-hams PPA software archive! . . . In order to comply with Launchpad's recently improved PPA security policy[0] we have removed the ubuntu-hams PPA and replaced it with a new PPA owned by a new Launchpad team "ubuntu-hams-updates": https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-hams-updates/+archive/ppa This will allow us to properly control uploads to the PPA, and therefore much stronger protection from malware interference[1]. Our open access "ubuntu-hams" team will continue to exist at: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-hams and will continue to host our mailing list, but will no longer host a PPA software archive. You do not need to join the new "ubuntu-hams-updates" team (in fact you cannot do so), but you must now remove the old defunct PPA and add the new PPA to your system software sources[2]. To do so, paste these commands into a terminal window: sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-hams-ppa-* # type your password when prompted sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-hams-updates/ppa # press ENTER when prompted sudo apt-get update # wait for the "$" prompt to reappear The orange Update Manager icon will likely now appear in your icon bar at upper right; use it to install the latest updates from the new PPA and the main Ubuntu archive. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any questions about the new ubuntu-hams-updates PPA, or the migration process, do not hesitate to ask. 73 de KA6MAL es AI4QR -Kamal Mostafa KA6MAL -Steve Conklin AI4QR [0] Launchpad has mandated that large teams like ~ubuntu-hams (226 members and growing) should better control who can upload and modify their PPA software archives. [1] We have never experienced any malware interference with our ubuntu-hams PPA; this is a preventative measure. [2] If you don't update your software sources, no harm will occur... your existing ubuntu-hams packages will remain installed on your system, but you won't get any further updates to those packages.

[chirp_users] Question on chirp with TH-F6A
by bnjkoch＠comcast.net 17 Nov '11

17 Nov '11

Dan & Team: CHIRP - great project! Thanks for supporting the HAM community in all of your (many) efforts. I own a Kenwood TM-F6A hand-held transceiver, purchased in fall 2008. My first trial with chirp(ver 0.1.12) lead to errors, but I read in a FAQ about a F6A bug fix in version(chirp-daily-11092011). Chirp(ver11092011) allowed access to the radio without errors. When I attempted to export the data, an error was generated. 1. See attachment(1.jpg) for screen.cap prior to error. 2. See attachment(2jpg) for screen.cap at error. 3. See attachment(ver.jpg) for screen.cap of version information. Environment: 1. WinXP(MediaCenter2002_sp2) on a DELL XPS.400(DXP051) 2. USB><Serial converter to OEM serial cable to radio. Ideas: 1. I am not a "real" programmer :) the error seems to involve a function where the argument is a HEX value but expected a DEC value. 2. I used the same equipment to access the TH-F6A with the Kenwood prog s/w and it worked as expected. 3. I can try another USB><Serial converter, but this error doesn't seem to point that direction. 4. I can try to clear all memory on the F6A but would rather hear your ideas first. What's next? In the future, would you rather see screen.cap's as attachments or in-line images? Any other advice? PS: My interest in CHIRP was sparked when a HAMShare class was offered for this Saturday, Nov-19-2011, in Auburn, WA. One of the (many) topics is CHIRP. Thanks and Best Regards; Bruce Koch - AD7XS
