Greetings, A new build of CHIRP-next is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree since yesterday and may include additional features, bug fixes, etc. As a reminder, this is different from the "daily" CHIRP builds in that new development and features are happening here. It is the latest and greatest, but also may be less stable than the "daily" builds at this time. If it works for you, we recommend using CHIRP-next, but if your radio is not yet working on it, then you may prefer to use the "daily" builds for the time being.

[chirp_users] Query RepeaterBook - Limit Band option only lists 10m band
by Nicolas Pike 16 Jan '23

16 Jan '23

Latest (16.01.2023) Chirp-next build on Linux Mint 20.2 Query RepeaterBook - Limit Band option only lists the 10m band. Am I missing something obvious? If not I can investigate further. Limit modes appears to work as expected. Freq Step is always 5KHZ - I have raised this with Garrett. Really great to see Chirp moving on Python3 and I will be doing all I can to assist. Thanks Nicolas > [image: image.png] >

[chirp_users] RepeaterBook Worldwide
by Dan Smith 15 Jan '23

15 Jan '23

Hi all, In continuing this weekend's RepeaterBook theme, I wanted to point out that today's build contains support for RepeaterBook's worldwide directory, That means the list of countries in the drop-down box has gone from three to over a hundred, with hundreds of repeaters listed for many countries. Again this is a volunteer-maintained database, so it's only as good as you make it, but if you've never had the ability to query sources in CHIRP, give it a try! https://www.repeaterbook.com/row_repeaters/index.php?state_id=none --Dan

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV82 Preprogrammed Channels
by K0LNY_Glenn 15 Jan '23

15 Jan '23

Hi, A friend of mine just got a new Baofeng UV82, he is about to take his Ham Tech test. I sent him a Chirp install file, but I don't know if he will be able to access it with his screenreader in windows 11. So I have worked with him over the phone on entering frequencies into frequency mode. So in channel mode, it came with some channels, but he is Blind, so there is no way for him to know what they are. Can anyone send me a list of the channels they put in one of these from the factory? Maybe someone saved their original file that you can copy the channels and associated frequencies for me please. Thanks Glenn

[chirp_users] RepeaterBook GMRS Queries!
by Dan Smith 14 Jan '23

14 Jan '23

Hi All, I'm excited that today's build includes support for querying RepeaterBook's GMRS database! Thanks to Garrett (RepeaterBook's owner), CHIRP users now have the ability to pull this data in as well. It works the same way as the other RepeaterBook queries, with searching, sorting by distance, and local caching. Like CHIRP, RepeaterBook depends on volunteers to maintain the database and they are responsible for growing it into the extremely comprehensive and valuable resource that it is today. If you know of any GMRS activity in your area, I encourage you to pull up the query for your location and if you notice anything missing, help by submitting it for inclusion here: https://www.repeaterbook.com/gmrs/add_repeater.php I found one new open GMRS repeater in my local area that is missing, so I'll be doing the same today :) --Dan

[chirp_users] Importing a CSV file into the memory of an Alinco DJ-G7T
by Stuart Longland VK4MSL 13 Jan '23

13 Jan '23

Hi all, Has anyone had any luck loading a CSV file into an Alinco DJ-G7T. I have organised a list of FM repeaters for 2m/70cm/23cm from the WIA repeater data spreadsheet. I won't publish it here, but suffice to say, it's more than I want to try and punch in via the keypad. 556 records. First problem is getting Chirp to even talk to the DJ-G7T. I have no idea what firmware it runs. I went looking in its menus but could not find where this information is shown. All I can say is I bought this from a online retailer (Andrews Communications) in Sydney around 2020. I am running the latest commit of Chirp: commit 49698a5b21a5a696be7f2121bc3ec8f4605b5b0c on Gentoo Linux AMD64 with Python 3.10.6, wxpython 4.0.7-r2 and wxgtk 3.0.5.1. Gentoo no longer ship Python 2.7. No I do not have a Windows-based PC as I don't use legacy operating systems for production work. To even get Chirp to talk to the Alinco, I needed to patch it (I think this will preclude me using a pre-made "binary"): diff --git a/chirp/drivers/alinco.py b/chirp/drivers/alinco.py index 7bfffa39..b3350653 100644 --- a/chirp/drivers/alinco.py +++ b/chirp/drivers/alinco.py @@ -595,7 +595,7 @@ class AlincoDJG7EG(AlincoStyleRadio): TMODES = ["", "??1", "Tone", "TSQL", "TSQL-R", "DTCS"] # This is a bit of a hack to avoid overwriting _identify() - _model = b"AL~DJ-G7EG" + _model = b"AL~DJ-G7T" _memsize = 0x1a7c0 _range = [(500000, 1300000000)] I was then able to download an image file from the radio. If I load up my CSV file, the upload option is greyed out. So clearly I don't directly open the CSV file, I have to "import" it somehow. If I try to copy the repeaters into the image from the radio, even just one repeater, Chirp segfaults. So clearly it's not a matter of copy and paste. How does one import a CSV file into an existing radio image? -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.

I've never taken patches through the bug tracker as a general rule, although people attach them there sometimes. That's why those issues aren't open and have comments about following the process. I also need a test image of the radio in order to add it to the tree, not just a patch. If you can muster the github steps to get that submitted that would be great. However, if you can either test one of the existing patches and attach your test image, or open a new one with your image and patch, I can work the process for you. > As far as I know this is the US version of the DJ-G7.

If you'll open an issue for this, we can collaborate on getting something tested and into the tree. > I guess a feature to allow one to import memory channels from a CSV > (overwriting existing ones) would be handy as copying and pasting > channels gets cumbersome. Feedback from the legacy version was that copy and paste was far more flexible and user-friendly, and even being a CLI and developer type myself, that's how I do it. I rarely want to import everything from my master list into every radio, given a non-overlapping set of supported features, bands and modes. The legacy version had a very complex import mechanism, which I never used, and if you watch some of the youtube videos people have made, it far complicates for them what would be much easier with copy and paste. The mere existence seemed to make people think they had to do import instead of copy/paste. Having a just-overwrite-everything import is an option and I could add that, and may in the future, but for the moment copy and paste is the workflow. Sometimes simpler is better, especially in a GUI app. > Another prospect might be a CLI interface, so I could just prepare the > file, then tell `chirp` to download from the radio (or load from an > existing image), replace the channels, then upload it back to the > radio. There is a CLI in the git tree and some people do use it. If you find it useful, feel free to file a feature request to have it included in the source distribution. --Dan

[chirp_users] chirp-next - Row selection on banks tab
by Matt Foster 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

I was just doing some work on my image file for a Yaesu FT-60R. I was assigning memories to banks, and I somehow got multiple rows in the table highlighted. I think I may have clicked and dragged slightly to cause this. I can not un-highlight the rows, nor do I see the point of highlighting rows in the banks table. If there is not anything useful to be done after selecting multiple rows of this table, would it be possible to just disable the row selection there? 73, Matt, N0EYE

I thought I would give the new chirp-next a try, but unfortunately my virus checker deletes the chirpwx.exe file saying it has a Heur.AdvMLB Heuristic Virus. Has anyone else had this warning ? Until this is verified as not the case or a false positive I have had to go back to the chirp-daily. Cheers Dave..

[chirp_users] Novel solution to Baofeng UV-5R's "Radio did to respond" problem?
by Graham Christensen 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

Hey folks, Debugging tonight I managed to get my radio to talk to CHIRP a few times, but very unreliably. I trimmed the connector and made sure it was well plugged in. I even updated to the next -nightly in case that helped. No. Eventually what I figured out something that works 100% of the time for me: squeezing the radio and programming adapter tightly in my hands while programming. Thanks for CHIRP, it was very easy to re-join the world of ham radio and get connected to a lot of local repeaters. 73, KI4VCD

Dan. Why not give people a choice...? Fixed or Variable? Or for that matter, any font the system knows about? (Like most other software titles in one form or another...) Have to say, a fixed width font for me is the way to go in spreadsheets etc, but I suspect that is not what is being talked about. From the few screenshots I've seen of the new version, the default UI is very poor contrast (dark grey on light grey, not good.) (So no doubt making readability much worse than it otherwise could be.) Still not got the new version to run yet, so "Devils Advocate" mode at the moment. (There again, I never managed to build the old version from source, as I wanted to do for some work on the Puxing PX-2R driver.) I now have ... ~$ python3.7 -V Python 3.7.5 ... working, but I suspect something in the chirp blob is dialling up an earlier version for some reason, and that is preventing the virtual environment from being correctly created. 2.7 and 3 also exist on this system (for various odd reasons, Chirp being one!) I like Python as a language, but the inter-version incompatibilities are becoming a major issue. Is it even possible at present to have old and new versions co-existing on the same system? (Not urgent, as earlier I know the OS needs upgrading.) 73.

I'll have to wait to catch up with this needed (and welcome) change, as I first need to upgrade my OS (Mint 19.3 64 bit, still supported until April) to a later LTS version first. That... Is going to take me some time, just to recreate all the tools and utilities I've used over the last 5 years etc. I did try the "Python Wheel" (not heard of them before) but just spent 20 minutes untangling the mess it made of my home folder, after following instructions found at https://realpython.com/python-wheels/ The venv could not be created, as it was trying to create a folder ./env/bin/activate that is the same name as the file "activate" in ~/env/bin ! (I have Python 3.6.9 installed, and otherwise working well...) In the mean time... If anyone manages to create a FlatPack, or ApImage for Linux, that would help a lot more people do a lot of the needed testing, with (in the first instance) a known collection of files and dependencies etc all supplied as needed, at the expense of disk space... (Might even be an idea for overall user deployment on Linux? As most just want to use it, not fight the system just to get it running...) Just a thought. (Not all of us out here live on the bleeding edge, preferring stability and reliability instead of continual changes.) 73 and Happy New Year.

First you need to know that most of these newer/Chinese radios can also be used on business, FRS, & GMRS frequencies as well as Amateur so it depends on what you want as to where youneed to look. If you are wanting Amateur only repeaters you can as others have said use repeater book. It is built into chirp. All you need to do is install chirp plug in your radio and under the heading Radio download it to the app and then under the same heading look for import from or Query Repeaterbook and follow the prompts as to what you want. I hope this will help you.

[Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add TH-D74 clone-mode driver [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add a directory compat routine This gives us compatibility with drivers from the py3 branch that will use this format registration scheme. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix tuning_step on TH-D72 This fixes chirp #10088 and revert the "fix" from chirp #1611. The latter figured these were meaningless bits that changed based on the band, but they're actually a tuning_step index (transmit and receive). I think the problem with distorted audio is the radio being off frequency slightly when the tuning step doesn't match what is needed for the frequency. [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add gitignore initiailzed from hgignore
