#97: CSV export writes chirp native XML file if filename doesn't end in .csv. -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: rct+chirp@… | Type: Bug Status: new | Priority: Stability Milestone: | Component: Memory Editor Version: 0.1.11 | Keywords: Platform: Linux | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Export CSV only seems to write a CSV IFF the filename ends in .csv, otherwise it writes out a chirp native XML file. Note: If the suggested filename + extension gets cleared in the process of navigating to the desired directory, no extension gets set. This might be the desired behavior, but it leads to this behavior where it looks like you should be saving a .csv file and instead wind up saving an xml file. Note 2: the comparison is case sensitive too, so saving to radio.CSV gives an XML file as well. chirp 0.1.11 freshly pulled via hg 4/30/2011. hg summary parent: 915:6ffa431cdbdd tip Make banks import and export properly branch: default commit: (clean) update: (current) -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac/ticket/97> CHIRP <http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac> CHIRP Development

[chirp_users] CHIRP Daily Builds
by Dan Smith 23 Apr '11

23 Apr '11

Hi all, For a while now I've been meaning to get a daily build system setup that would decrease the time between fixing a bug and getting it in the hands of the reporter and tested. This afternoon, I wrote the necessary scripts to get this going. Each night at 4am Pacific, my system will generate a Win32 and Linux tarball build here: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/ It will do that only if something has changed that day in the tree. It will also do it blindly from the tip of the tree, which could very well be broken. However, I usually only push up to the tree when I've completed a particular feature or bug fix. However, you should use these at your own peril. So, if you've already had a bug fixed and were waiting for 0.1.12b1, head up to the URL above and give it a try. Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

#70: Would like to have bank field populated in csv export ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: W1GRI@… | Type: Feature Status: new | Priority: Functionality Milestone: | Component: Memory Editor Version: | Keywords: Platform: Windows | ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Playing with CHIRP again - last summer the IC-92Ad stuff didn't seem to work, but I'm trying again. ID-880 seems to work. I'm really happy to see that you handle bank & bank index in chirp. Organizing banks is a major pain for me. I was really excited to see the values shown in the chirp screen. But, no joy when I export to a csv file. Seems that the bank values are always empty. I would really love to see the bank id displayed (any form, letter or an index number would be great). I have written some programs in visual foxpro that allow me to make groups pretty easily, but the only way to get them into the radio is to import from a csv file via the Icom software. (With the 92ad this means selecting each bank and doing an import of a csv for that bank) Is there any way you can populate the bank field in the csv file AND, most importantly, allow it to be imported back after changes. Then I could build a customized csv file for each situation and load the whole radio in one step.

Strange since UV2D doesn¹t do banks and the 7900 does.

Hi all, I just posted v0.1.11b7 with the following changes: - Add Icom IC-W32A support (Thanks to Daniel for the loan) - Add Icom IC-T70A support (Thanks to John for the loan) - Fix the CSV driver ignoring D-STAR fields. Unless anyone can find a show-stopper bug in this, I'm going to release it as the official 0.1.11, hopefully before next week. If you're an "official tester" for a specific model, please, now is the time to give your "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" on this version's ability to work with your radio. Even if you're not an official tester, feel free to run through these tips and let us know how it works for you: http://chirp.danplanet.com/content/testing-guidelines Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] chirp 0.1.11 and Kenwood TM-V71A
by KE7FJM 04 Apr '11

Hello, nice to see support for the Kenwood TM-V71A, I downloaded 0.1.11 and tested it on a netbook running Ubuntu (10.10). The download feature worked great, it figured out my radio type and did the right thing. I saw the note live update and save a CSV copy, edited it and when I tried to upload the CSV file to the radio, it detects my COM port just fine, senses a Kenwood radio, but defaults to 'Generic' and does not let me change it. An upload attempt fails complaining about not being able to connect to generic. Is this know? If not I can log this an issue and can also test any updates if you need a TM-V71A tester. Bill KE7FJM

Hi all, I just posted the official version 0.1.11 on the website. Many thanks to all the people that contributed code and loaned radios to support the effort. This release brings almost three times as many supported radios as version 0.1.10 had! The abbreviated list of changes from 0.1.10 is on the download page: http://chirp.danplanet.com/downloads If you are on a mailing list for one of the supported radios or another community that might be interested, be sure to share this link around. More users means more bug reports and then (eventually) fewer bugs :) Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] D710 programing: beyond memories.. internal settings
by David Ranch 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Hey Dan, fellow Chip users, I was curious if it would be possible to add the ability to program in extra information into the D710 beyond just memories. Things like the following that's available in the Kenwood MCP-2A program. I personally need the "Data Terminal" menu to set the levels for the external TNC. --David Memory channels Call Channel Weather Channel Program Scan Memory VFO Menu - audio - Transmit / Receive - memory - DTMF - Repeater - Aux - PF key - Band Mask - APRS / Navitra - Sky command II DTMF memory Echolink Memory Data Terminal

[chirp_users] Help on libiconv DLL issue
by Dan Smith 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

Hi all, If you are experiencing the DLL warning message with CHIRP on your Windows box, I need to talk to you to determine why it's happening. If you are seeing this, could you please reply with the following details: 1. The version of CHIRP you're using 2. How you are running it (zip or installer) 3. What version and service pack of Windows you're on 4. What other software you have installed on the system that may also ship that DLL (Pidgin and Gimp come to mind) I just tried CHIRP on a completely fresh install of WinXP (both installer and zip versions). I'm unable to reproduce the issue, so I need some help to get this either resolved or documented before I post 0.1.11 final. Thanks! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] Chirp test with Wouxun.
by John Wilkerson 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Will load and and upload fine with no glitches during file transfer. Software shows NFM when downloaded profile is displayed onscreen.... HOWEVER, when re-uploading to radio, the setting STILL shiws wide, as previously programmed. Also, Scan skip is displayed onscreen, yet when sent back to the radio, again, previously programmed settings stick. I reset the radio to factory settings and uploaded. Same situation. Chirp perfectly downloads and uploads file correctly. Editing settings: I changed some settings... BUT.. when uploading them to the radio they did NOT stick. My obervations is that the program at this time can only download a file for observation. Data communication is fine; but for some reason, the program cannot change any info. Program currently cannot load .tw files, so I can't load another profile.

IC-2200H tested with the 0.1.11.b7 beta...No issues noticed... One item I tried with this beta was attempting to put in punctuation in the alpha (I used 2#$%6 as the test case)...The radio (apparently) won't display them so it didn't try...The data was stored in the radio (cycled power, restarted Chirp, redownloaded the radio data), but the radio just displayed whatever frequency I had put behind that tag. Nothing broke with it though. 73, N0REK Robbie

[chirp_users] CVS conversion
by IZ5FSA 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Hi Dan, I'm working on my 2820 and I tried to export italian rpeater list into a csv file. I've modified the fields to accomplish to the CSV format readed by chirp but I see that chirpw don't read my cvs... i've saved a native chirp file to a csv and I've imported it again with no success. I think managing CSV files will be a good thing when you have lots of rows to edit. Can you document CSV managemet by chirp or give a chance to use csv for import? 73 de Leo IZ5FSA

[chirp_users] more help with Mac OS
by Debbie Fligor 11 Feb '11

11 Feb '11

I'm sure that you're busy with d-rats and getting ready for Dayton, but I finally got back to working on getting Chirp working now that I have a need to move data from an ic-92 to an ic-91 :-) I snagged the source to 0.1.9 final and tried it both with my fink install and my darwin ports install. neither works, but they do both fail with the exact same error when I pick "Radio -> connect to an ic9x": a.show() Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/fligor/bin/chirp-0.1.9/chirpui/mainapp.py", line 430, in mh self.do_open9x(ic9x.IC9xRadioA) File "/Users/fligor/bin/chirp-0.1.9/chirpui/mainapp.py", line 123, in do_open9x rtype="ic9x") File "/Users/fligor/bin/chirp-0.1.9/chirpui/clone.py", line 70, in __init__ self.port = miscwidgets.make_choice(ports, True, ports[0]) IndexError: list index out of range I never get the dialog box that lets you choose your radio settings. I tried A B and B B, neither worked, and I did make sure the radio's main was on the "B" side. I even get the same message with the Apple's built in python using export PYTHONPATH=/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages which worked for another user. It's good that they all fail the same way, it's annoying that they all fail :-) You'd previously thought you knew what this was and had planned on fixing it, I just got side tracked and never checked. Something about not knowing about a serial port and getting confused. as a work around, is there a config file I can stash somewhere that fills it in about the serial port to get me going? I couldn't find anything on the config file format at the wiki so that I could just make my own. Let me know if you also want to see this on trac as well. thanks, -debbie, N9DN

[chirp_users] [CHIRP] #77: Want bulk delete or CSV importing of blank channels
by CHIRP Tracker 10 Feb '11

#77: Want bulk delete or CSV importing of blank channels ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: n7ss@… | Type: Feature Status: new | Priority: Would be nice Milestone: | Component: Memory Editor Version: 0.1.9 | Keywords: Platform: Windows | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Let's say I have a template with channels 0-199 filled. I want to create a new template with only channels 0-99 in that same radio. How do I get rid of the old channels 100-199? I can delete them individually - time-consuming and complicated if the new template has unused channels in the middle (because the old ones still appear in the blanks). I could do a factory reset on the radio and download the empty radio to use as a starting point for all my templates. That is also complicated for managing multiple radio models that may have other setting I want to retain. I suppose I could directly edit the IMG file and remove the channels I don't want but that invites error. A cleaner solution would be to allow deletion of a range of channels or even import of blank channels via CSV.
