Also, the upload put all newly added memory slots (on PC side) into one memory slot in the radio.

In order to either defeat the behavior that is being caused by something out of our control, or determine if it's something caused by chirp, this patch clears those bits. So, if you handle an image but don't make any memory changes, it will leave the scan bits alone. However, if you do, it will cancel any scans that are enabled and echo something to the debug log. Later, if we support generic radio settings, these can be enabled and disabled by the user. changeset: 1092:52eab427c4a3 user: Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com> date: Mon Jul 25 09:36:07 2011 -0700 files: tests/images/uv3r.img description: [uv3r] Add tests for uv3r changeset: 1091:6af090653007 user: Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com> date: Mon Jul 25 09:35:36 2011 -0700 files: chirp/directory.py chirp/wouxun.py description: [uv3r] Add Baofeng UV-3R support

I downloaded the new "daily build" of CHIRP software, installed it, and tried it with the Baofeng UV-3 R HT. I transfered the contents of the HT to the software, and all worked fine. I added a few memory channels, changed some things in others, and then loaded it back to the HT. All seems to be working fine. Thanks, Dan, for doing this. 73, Ken, W8EK Ken Simpson E-mail to W8EK(a)FLHam.net or W8EK(a)arrl.net Voice Phone (352) 732-8400

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.

Hi Folks, Does CHIRP support the TYT-UVF1 FM HT? It's another one of those type approved cheap Chinese HT's. I can provide a memory file if it helps. Mark -- /\/\ark Phillips

I MAY be making progress. I turned off the buffers on the laptop (as outlined below), and reinstalled ver 0.1.11 to use with the VX-3 (you will recall I had switched to ver 0.1.10 on the laptop, just to try it to see if any difference). I now have something in the debug file! Here is what it says: Log initialized Clone thread started -- Exception: -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "chirpui\clone.pyo", line 217, in run File "chirp\yaesu_clone.pyo", line 178, in sync_in File "chirp\yaesu_clone.pyo", line 69, in clone_in File "chirp\yaesu_clone.pyo", line 44, in chunk_read File "serial\serialwin32.pyo", line 195, in read CloneCancelledException ------ Clone failed: Clone thread ended Hopefully that will mean something to you. At least the log says something more than "log initialized". Thanks very much for your help. 73, Ken, W8EK D.

[chirp_users] Chirp Data transfer
by Ken Simpson, W8EK 04 Jul '11

04 Jul '11

I am am new to the idea of programming radios from the computer, and the chirp software looks good. But I can not get it to work! I have a Yaesu VX-3 (among others) that I would like to program. I installed the CHIRP program. I also have the USB cable that I got from e-bay. It is installed, and at least it says that it is working OK, and is on Com 3. I thought that I needed to go to "Radio" and then "Download from radio" and get the data that is presently in the VX-3. At least that seems logical to me! I try to go that, but can not get the data from the VX-3. I do get the box that says "Cloning from radio". It says Com 3 OK, and appears that it is trying to download the data from the VX-3. I have the VX-3 in clone mode, and it says it is transmitting data (I pushed "Band" after getting into clone mode, and the display says "Tx"). That sounds like it should work, but it times out after about 30 seconds or so. Nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. 73, Ken, W8EK Ken Simpson E-mail to W8EK(a)FLHam.net or W8EK(a)arrl.net Voice Phone (352) 732-8400

[chirp_users] Fedora Linux RPMs for chirp-daily_06292011 Available
by Mike Heitmann 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

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_06292011 Or, If you are running Fedora fc13 or earlier, enter: yum update chirp-daily_06292011-1.fc13 That should install the latest daily build. Happy Testing! Mike, N0SO On 06/29/2011 06:01 AM, Dan Smith wrote: > Greetings, > > A new daily build of CHIRP is available.
