Dan- Sounds good. I actually have three FT-2800Ms, so I will loan you my spare and can test CHIRP on the other two. Thank you!

I probably need to study the clone protocol a little better to try to get a handle on it.

If I'm going fast enough I might not realize that I didn't type that frequency in and it isn't the one I want. I'd really like to see that have an undefined value if I've never set it. Alternatively if I type a name first, and there is no valid frequency yet, force the focus to be the freqency field. Another manifestation of this problem is if I double click on the name field of a frequency that isn't in use it creates a new frequency memory for me with that seemingly random (last freqency entry that had focus for editing). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac/ticket/105> CHIRP <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac> CHIRP Development

Hi Dan- I installed the 8/18 daily build of CHIRP and gave it a try. On the FT-2800m, as before I was able to download from the radio with no problem. I followed the procedure you recommended this morning, but I was not able to upload to the radio no matter what I tried, including switching to the 8/11 version, which had worked before. Any ideas? If it would help to have the radio back, I could send it with the TM-271A. I had no problem with the THK2. Download works fine and I was able to import and modify a csv or chirp file in "live" mode and then export it. On the IC-W32A, I still was not able to download a file from the radio. It gives the same error "class IC9xICFRadio has no attribute '_model'". I switched to the 8/11 daily build and was able to download and upload a modified .img file to the radio. I had thought there was a problem with the tone field on the 8/11 build, but it now seems to work correctly - the tones appear to be correct and they are in the tone field, not the tone sql field. Probably operator error. Thanks, Jim GivensKJ7F

Hi Dan- I installed the 8/17 daily build of CHIRP and gave it a whirl. On the FT-2800m, I was able to download a file from the radio and the data looks fine. I was able to export to .csv and .chirp without error, but could not upload the .img file back to the radio. No error message, it just did not work. The upload to the radio did work with the 8/11 build. On the TH-K2, I was able to download a file from the radio and the data looks fine. I was able to export to .csv and .chirp and I could modify the file "live" and correctly download the file with changes back from the radio. So this one seems to be working pretty well as far as I can tell. On the IC-W32A, I was not able to download a file from the radio. It gave an error "class IC9xICFRadio has no attribute '_model'".

[chirp_users] Need help with an Alinco DRx35 radio
by Dan Smith 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Hi all, I need some help from someone with an Alinco DRx35 radio (DR135, DR235, DR435, etc). I need to know if the Mode (FM/NFM) setting in chirp is properly reflected in your radio, or if it seems to toggle the power level instead. Also, if you could send me an image where the "scan skip" flag is set on one or more of the memories, that would be very helpful. Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

Hi all, A lot has changed since the 0.1.11 release. Many bugs have been fixed, five new radios are supported, and plenty of core application features have been added. I think it's about time for an 0.1.12 release to the "masses". What do you think? Is anyone sitting on a particular bug or missing piece of functionality that we should address before making a release? Please, let me know what you think!

[chirp_users] testing new CHIRP with new radios
by jim gibbens 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hello- Dan has kindly added two new radios to the list at my request: the Yaesu FT-2800m and the Kenwood TH-K2. I also have an Icom W32A and have been testing CHIRP with it. I'm using the 8/11 daily build. My approach to testing is as follows. 1) Use CHIRP to read a "known good" parameter set from the radio and see if the data appears to be correct. 2) Use CHIRP to write the same file back to the radio and see if the radio works as it did with the original parameter set. 3) Use CHIRP to create a common file and write it to all three radios and verify that the radios works correctly with the new file FT-2800m CHIRP appears to pass Step 1&2, have not tried 3 yet TH-K2 CHIRP appear to export the Tone field from the radio correctly, but does not export the Tone field from the radio download to csv or chirp files; in those export files, the Tone field is left blank. IC-W32A The Tone fields as imported by CHIRP from the radio are all changed to 67 Hz, unless the tone is 67 Hz, in which case the Tone field is left blank. I've attached the .img files as downloaded from the radios, the chirp file exported after the download, and .mcp and .icw32 files from the Kenwood and RT systems programs that I have used for the THK@ and W32A in the past.

[chirp_users] IC-92ad
by bRADY PALMQUIST 13 Aug '11

13 Aug '11

I'm trying to use Chirp with an ICOM IC-92AD, OPC-1797 and a Kawamall OPC-478 cable. First of all, is that the right hardware? If I use version .1.10, it will run and look like it's getting memories, but they are all blank. If I use version .1.11, it says something to the effect of "Can't determine radio model" I've tried it on my XP and Windows 7 machines. Drivers seem to be loaded OK. I have the GPS settings disabled...(Tx mode and auto tx). What else should I check? Is there a debug or test option available? Brady K0UC

[chirp_users] Thoughts after looking at the most recent build
by Ron McKenzie 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Dan, I'm testing Chirp with UV-3R files. 1. Why did you delete the Name field? I would find this very helpful for organizing and editing the data in my .CVS file. From our previous email conversation, I understood you were going to retain it in the CSV file and only drop it when writing data to the dual_band.dat file for uploading into the radio? 2. Vero/Baofeng uses one "menu" for manually setting the Tx-Code (transmitted CTSS or DTCCS code) and a second "menu" for manually setting the Rx-Code (received or SQL tone code, either CTSS or DTCCS). Chirp has separate fields for the CTSS (Tone) and the DTCCS (DTCS Code) (defaulting to the lowest code value for whichever code type is not used). In addition, Chirp has a field Tone Mode with values of None, Tone (CTSS Tx only), ToneSql (CTSS Ts & Rx?), and DTCS. The "inputs" suggest that a repeater using CTSS will always have to hear a user's Tx-Code and it may or may not send back using a CTSS code. On the other hand, if the repeater is using DTCCS, then, it will require that code (my Tx-code) and it will always broadcast using that same DTCCS code (my Rx-code). Some questions to help increase my knowledge of current practices: 1. Is the above analysis correct? 2. Is this juxtaposition of data and information types done as a convenience in light of the requirements of earlier radios that Chirp was programmed for? Or, it it something that can be altered? 2. Is a repeater operator precluded from selecting different CTSS or DTCCS codes for Rx and Tx?** 3. Is a repeater operator precluded from selecting CTSS for the user's Tx Code and DTCCS for the user's Rx Code (or vice versa)?** 3. Can an operator set a repeater up to use DTCCS on what it receives (the user's Tx Code) and transmit without a code?** ** (Assuming the operator's choices do not conflict with any other repeaters sharing the frequency pair within a reasonable distance of the subject repeater.) I don't see where the UV-3R uses the DTCS Polarity information at all; it does not appear to be an option as I read my .dat file. Thanks & 73 de KK4DBR, Ron EL98fk Orange Cty Windermere, FL

[chirp_users] Will Chirp be enhanced to mandle other info in my dat file?
by Ron McKenzie 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

At some point will chirp be enhanced let me maintain the following fields in my UV-3R: 1. Squelch level 2. VOX Level 3. TOT (Time Out Timer, limiting Tx time) 4. Battery Saver 5. Key Tone (Beep) 6. BCL (Broadcast Lock Out, prevents me from xmitting if someone with a different PL Tone (CTSS) or DTCCS Code is already using the frequency pair) 7. Scan 8. Back light Thanks & 73 de KK4DBR Ron

Example: I saved an IMG of my radio to my desktop. Then I go to File>Open Navigate in the explorer window to desktop, Verify it is looking for .IMG files and none appear. I can, however, double click on the file that is on the desktop and tell it to open in CHIRP and it does. Is this something that needs attention or am I missing some important set up or step? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac/ticket/106> CHIRP <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac> CHIRP Development

#120: problem exporting on IC-W32A ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: kb3mun | Type: Bug Status: new | Priority: Functionality Milestone: | Component: Import/Export Version: (tip) | Keywords: export, W32A, no CSV, field not mutable Platform: Windows | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Using Chirp daily 06092011 on Win7. I can 'Download from radio' when connected to an IC-W32A. I can save the image file successfully. However when I try to export the file, I observe two problems. A) Only export to CHIRP format is available; the CSV export target is absent. Is this by design? B) I am presented with an error dialog with this message "There was an error during export: Field %s is not mutable on this memory.". This occurs after I have been presented with the SaveAs dialog and just after pressing OK on the Column Selection dialog. BTW, I get expected behavior on Chirp v0.1.11 on Win7. Expected behavior is: A) I have both export formats: CHIRP and CSV. B) The image data is exported without an error dialog. There is the type of expected content in both types of export formatted files. 73 de Daniel KB3MUN -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac/ticket/120> CHIRP <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac> CHIRP Development

#125: Importing from VX7 to VX3 makes me sad -------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: Zero | Type: Bug Status: new | Priority: Functionality Milestone: | Component: Memory Editor Version: | Keywords: Platform: Linux | -------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- It would seem that when a memory label is >6 characters (the vx3's limit) that it is simply not imported. A better behavior would be to simply truncate the label if the target radio can't hold all the characters. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac/ticket/125> CHIRP <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac> CHIRP Development
