Has anyone written a converter from DStarComm 'csv' to Chirp 'csv' files ? Such as the ones 'exported' from here: http://www.nwham.com/repeaters/keyResult.php?keyword=FARRN&state_id=CA01 Shouldn't be too difficult, just don't want to waste time if it's already done. Simon.

[chirp_users] CHIRP 0.1.10b1
by Dan Smith 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Hi all, I just posted CHIRP 0.1.10b1 with the following fixes: - Fix crash when no serial port is unrecognized - Fix setting memories with dash characters in the name - Fix memory erasing on icx8x - Fix coercing the "TX Inhibit" flag on icx8x - Fix fractional frequency detection and setting on id800 - Make CSV driver use a semicolon on locales where a comma is used as a decimal point Some testing and feedback of the locale change would be appreciated. Also, I've still been unable to reproduce the 2820 clone-via-serial issue that some people have reported. Do send those debug logs :) Thanks! -- Dan Smith dsmith#danplanet.com, s/#/@/ www.danplanet.com KK7DS

I think the problem is just that the radio's memory just had that flag already set on the channel you were opening and I wasn't clearing it. This change forcibly clears that flag when you create a new memory channel, but shouldn't clear it on channels you're just editing.

[chirp_users] Chirp / IC2820

I had a little time this morning to play with Chirp and the 2820. I made sure the GPS TX was turned off. When I try and read the 2820 the cloning window opens and the program hangs. It reads OK with CS2820. I don't have a fresh log file handy - need a new battery for my laptop so I can go out to the truck and try and read again.

Hi, Just found Chirp and it looks great. I can download from my radio, but the upload fails with about 1/3 progress bar filled. I had a poke around and it looks like the '.img' file is a bit on the short side, and would need to be padded up to size. After I import an '.icf' and save it as an '.img'. I can then create a fake '.icf' and compare the original with what chirp produces.... -- simon@bourne:~/chirp-0.1.9$ hexdump -v -e '"%04.4_ax10" 16/1 "%02.2X" "\n"' imported.img | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' > fake.icf simon@bourne:~/chirp-0.1.9$ diff -d --side-by-side fake.icf original.icf > diff.txt -- 'diff.txt' is attached, you can see that it is missing data (all 0's) at the end of the file: -- 19301000000000000000003238323630303031 19301000000000000000003238323630303031 > 19401000000000000000000000000000000000 .... > 2FF01000000000000000000000000000000000 -- Cheers, Simon.

[chirp_users] Just got CHIRP, And Hello!...
by Jeffrey M. Swiger 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi All: First off I'm New to the Group and D-Star, So I wanted to say Hi. Second I had got the IC-92AD in here Monday following Dayton, and this was my First D-Star Radio and real Exposure to the System. The following Thursday I got the IC-2820H in for the home. When I ordered the HT I was told the software made a Big difference, so it was ordered, Same with the IC-2820. Well, I Ordered the RT SYSTEMS software and cable Combo, and still cant get the two to talk. I found CHIRP and it was working as quick as I could get it loaded on the PC. I'm a Mac OSX user and have worked with Linux in the past, but LOT of Radio ware needs PC's so I have a Small Notebook for such things. After reading the FAQ, I found I had to change one Setting in the 92AD and now it's working FB here. So THANKS!... Sure am looking forward to a Installable OSX version to happen, This would make my Day. Being new to the entire D-Star thing I'm still a bit confused on some of it but the CHIRP software and the programming help of it sure is a help!.. Jeff-N8NOE " Laissez Le Bon Temps Roulez " >

[chirp_users] Import Error
by Michael A. Waldron 20 May '09

20 May '09

I have chirp reading/ from my radios, but I'm having a problem with CSV (and .CHIRP) file import. When I try to import a file created with Chirp's Save As function to a different radio I get the following error: "There was an error during import: ord() expected a character, but string of length 0 found" This file was exported from Chirp after a read of my IC-92. I've tried data exported from both Band A and Band B and the import always gives the same error. When I try to import a .chrip file (same source) it says something like "Schema not found." and then crashes. Any suggestions? -Mike -- Michael A.

[chirp_users] now help with Windows and CHIRP
by Debbie Fligor 19 May '09

19 May '09

Okay, for the ARES group I work with I'm setting up their first data "go-box" and we got an Acer Aspire One netbook and a 91ad. I got the basics going yesterday and was going to use CHIRP to move my data from my 92ad to their 91ad (on windows since I can't get OSX to work). I had no problems (that I Can tell) reading in the data of the 92 and saving as .chirp files. when I tried to load it into the 91ad I got "Schema Error" (or something close to that). it didn't matter if it was band A or band B ( was trying to read and write to. It read the 91 or the 92 so I think basic com port part was working. Am I missing something here, or should I pull the debug log when I get home and file it on the trac system? thanks in advance for any help or ideas, -debbie, n9dn

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? thanks!

Re: [chirp_users] 91-A with 121 - B bank is fine - A bank does not work
by David Tilson 03 May '09

03 May '09

G'day Roger, Just another thing to check... Can you confirm that when you were trying to do work with Band A in CHIRP that the radio was set to Band B and running in DV mode? As you may / may not be aware a quirk with CHIRP and using the IC-9X radios is that Band B must be selected and the mode set to DV for it to transfer information (even for Band A memories). On the 92AD if you have the radio is set to Band A and you try to "Connect to IC9X - Band A" it will indicate that it is getting 800+ memories, but nothing gets transferred. Hope this helps... Cheers, davidt, VK3UR

[chirp_users] 91-A with 121 - B bank is fine - A bank does not work
by Roger Kehr 03 May '09

03 May '09

I am sure someone has asked this question but here goes anyway. I purchased a 91-AD and have programmed it's memory banks A and B. I then purchase a 91-A with a 121 chip.. While it was possible to get my B bank into my B bank I am unable to make an excel file of my A bank to get it into my A bank on the 91-A. Is there some way around this or is there a way to print out what is in the A bank on the 91-AD and put it into my excel spread sheet and then export that into my 91-A using CHIRP? Thanks for a great program - at least my "B" bank information transferred over. 73- N3AOQ Roger

Dan, I downloaded 0.1.9 and fired it up OK. Without connecting a radio, I selected the 'Convert ICF' function and selected an ICF file that I had downloaded from the Internet (actually "IC92AD_VK3RWN_C_V19a.icf" which David VK3UR makes available through the Australian D-Star web site - Thanks David) and tried to save it as an img file. The following was logged on the terminal log: Unknown model: 000: 30 66 00 00 00 00 00 00 0f......

[chirp_users] CHIRP 0.1.9
by Dan Smith 03 May '09

03 May '09

Hi all, I just posted the official CHIRP 0.1.9 on the download page. Although the list of changes looks small, they are pretty significant: - Fixed broken browse button on clone dialog - Fixed an issue with the 2820 which causes spurious DSQL and CSQL flags on the radio - Fixed MacOS to pick up Prolific-based USB serial devices - Fixed initial sort of channel number column - Fixed tone flag parsing on ic2200 - Fixed interpretation of frequency on ic2200 when tuning step is 12.5 - Change the way callsign lists are handled to more closely mimic the radio - Re-write of the ic9x driver for better stability and maintainability - Improved UI responsiveness during long IC-9x operations - Added a multi-level queue to allow background loading of IC-9x radios without preventing UI-initiated changes - Added empty-location tracking to the ic9x cache to improve reload performance - Added UI improvements like icons and keyboard accelerators - Added ICOM D-STAR repeater frequency programming support - Added file types to Save As box to avoid confusion - Added call channel support to ic9x Thanks! -- Dan Smith dsmith#danplanet.com, s/#/@/ www.danplanet.com KK7DS

I presume this will (probably) be the Dayton release in which case congratulations are in order. CHIRP is only about 9 months old from when you first mentioned the concept to now and I personally consider it a valuable tool. This is especially impressive given your parallel development of D-RATS. Cheers, Davidt, VK3UR

[chirp_users] CHIRP 0.1.9b12
by Dan Smith 01 May '09

Hi all, I just posted 0.1.9b12 with a couple of changes: - Add call channels for ic9x - Show a file type on file->save as to make it a little more clear that you can't change the file type just by saving On my ic9x, CHIRP is incorrectly showing a TONE setting on one of my call channels, but not the other. I've looked at the memory data and it sure enough has the bits set indicating the tone encoder, even though it does not display on my radio's screen. This seems relatively minor though. So, hopefully this looks good enough to call it 0.1.9 final. Dave, any objections (after you test this)? Thanks! -- Dan Smith dsmith#danplanet.com, s/#/@/ www.danplanet.com KK7DS

[chirp_users] Local OS Settings and CHIRP
by Juergen Sturhahn 01 May '09

01 May '09

Starting D-Star with an ID-800H I was trying to reduce the work load of manual entering all memory information directly into the radio and installed CHIRP. I have to admit that I run into nearly every possible trap the program offers for a new user. But with the help of Dan I was able to get it up and running at the end. Might be a beginner's guide or a help file within the program could help to reduce the efforts in climbing up the learning curve . (based on my experience I could offer some limited help). There are some issues, however, I consider as worthwhile to discuss in this group: 1. Excel uses the local settings of the OS. Therefore xxx.csv - files created by the export of an xxx.img-files to a xxx.csv cannot be re-opened again by CHIRP once they have been processed and eventually modified in Excel and saved there again as xxx.csv or yyy.csv Reason is that the local settings in the OS (here German instead of English (USA)) create semicolons (;) instead of commas (,) as separator, don't use a dot (.) but a comma (,) for the decimal information etc. . I have tried to modify the file by an editor using search and replace but the editor doesn't save the result in a way CHIRP would finally process. It would be nice if the program could work in a non-English environment as well. 2. After a successful export and import of xxx.csv under English local settings I have tried to do the same with xxx.chirp. This failed, however, with the error notice "Unable to load schema". At the moment I don't know why this happens. 3. I have imported the xxx.csv into Excel (with English settings), saved it as xxx_1.csv and tried to import or open the saved file in CHIRP. Both failed with the error notice list index out of range. I assume there is something I have to set in Excel but unfortunately I don't know what to do here. Might be it's somehow related to my Excel version but not sure. 73 Juergen, DL8LE

The import/export of them is a separate can of worms > that I don't want to dive into until 0.1.10 I think. Don't stress over the special memories until 0.1.10. I know that there will be a lot of interest in the ID-RPX function, so that is probably more important to the masses at this time. When 0.1.9 is released we can take our time with the special memories, etc. Cheers, Davidt

Have people used 0.1.9b11 > enough to call it good as a stable release? I've used b11 a bit, apart from the ID-RPX functions, and haven't had any problems yet. Does that mean you want to release 0.1.9 prior to inclusion of the IC9X special memories into the GUI (and import / export)? If yes, that's fine and we can catch up on those in a later release. If no, I'm happy to do some testing as soon as the special memories are included. Cheers, davidt

[chirp_users] CHIRP 0.1.9b10
by Dan Smith 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Hi all, I just posted CHIRP 0.1.9b10 with a single change. There is now an additional option in the Radio menu to allow you to set the frequency on a D-STAR repeater module. I have tested this with an ID-RP4000V and an ID-RP2000V with success. If anyone has a repeater module sitting around, I'd appreciate a report. Also, I think that we should call 0.1.9 official pretty soon. I want to add support for the IC9x special memories and then I think that's a good place to stop. The new 9x background load features would be good to get into the hands of regular users before we attack some of the more disruptive things that are currently on the task list. Thoughts?

G'day again, > Okay, I'm going to re-generate as b11 and post in the right > place. Should be there shortly... Got it that time... Thanks. With the label saying "ID-RPx000V" I'm guessing that excludes the 23cm DV (ID-RP2V) and 23cm DD (ID-RP2D) repeaters at this stage as they would have an extra digit that would need to be added in their frequency range. Cheers, davidt

Howdy Dan, > Aack! I looked in the beta directory to figure out what the > next version number should be, but perhaps I forgot to refresh! Just shows you're human (well sort of) :) > Any chance we can just forget about the other b10? :D I can live with it, but it still looks like the original b10 is still in the beta directory (still with 17 Apr Last Modified date), not this jumped up wanna be b10, that you want us to test :) I just downloaded / re-installed b10 and it looks like the original. I'm guessing it should show up initially in the "Download from Radio" section as I can't see any other spot where it would probably be. BTW, I've got D-RATS b4 connected to the ratflector if you want to do some tests, although I'll be in and out of the shack a bit. Cheers, davidt

G'day Dan, > I just posted CHIRP 0.1.9b10 with a single change. I'm a little confused (not hard to achieve really)... Shouldn't it be 0.1.9b11 ???? According to my records (and the beta directory) b10 was posted on the 17th April, but the changelog shows changes as of a few hours ago. There's no sign of a b11 in the beta directory (yet). Cheers, Davidt, VK3UR
