[chirp_users] Ubuntu 20.04 - followup
by KD0YMG - Jed 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Hi. New user there, so I can't reply to the previous thread. I was able to get chirp running using flatpak, but some things seem funny, or might be helpful to others. Sentence wrapping on the message for how to install/setup flatpack caused me some initial errors. Instructions here: https://flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu/ However, it seems that even after doing the remote-add, I have no repositories. $ flatpak remotes Name Options flathub system I assume there should be something listed there. Or maybe that's all there is - it doesn't show the URL or anything else? A search for "chirp" returned no results. So, I ended up just downloading the flatpak file from https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/ And then installing it from my local storage flatpak install {download_path}/chirp-daily-20200909.flatpak When I go to the flathub website and search for chirp, it returns no results. This matches of course not being able to install directly. A search for "gimp" does return results, on both the website and the flatpak command line. Considering the discussion I've seen on the mailing list archives re. migration of chirp to Python3, and that I'm fed up with Ubuntu (multiple reasons), what distro would be a good one to consider for retaining full Python2 support for a while? Or is this a futile endeavour? (I'm currently pondering Arch, but might consider Gentoo.) Thanks to previous posters for getting me back running. One less problem with Ubuntu for me to bang my head against. :) -- Jed - KD0YMG - https://irgclub.org/ "... we have done as much with wireless telegraphy as is likely to be done."; Sir William Preece, 1891

I have been trying to figure out how to get CHIRP to run. I found Ticket # 7147 and reading the whole thing (way over my head) I ran some commands indicated however I have no idea how to read (let alone understand) the results. I tried looking up python-future package but was unable to find anything that was remotely clearly safe to solve the problem. Does the following make any sense to anyone? If so how do I correct the python-future unavailability warning? Are there any suggestions on where I can look for answers if not here?

I have tried every combination I could think of to install and run CHIRP If anyone is able to help me I would greatly appreciate it. I checked out FAQ's and Issues and bugs lists and all similar issues seem to revolve around the legacy version. Thanks Joe.

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5r with Chirp
by Robert Barker 08 Sep '20

08 Sep '20

I'm a new user so don't kill me. I just got a Baofeng UV5-R and have a few questions about Chirp. On the settings tab on the left it has 6+Power-On Message 1 and 6+Power-On Message 2 and then it has Power-On Message 1 and Power-On Message 2 and then it has Power-On Message choice of full or message. What is what? Which is the message i see when I power on and what is the other one and what's the difference between Full or Message? I wanted to put an IF Found and my phone number in there but i guess it only allows 7 digits is that right? I'm programming this like a scanner so i'm most interested in Scanning. I'm still confused about the 2 frequencies on the display. if I'm scanning and then freq below has activity, they radio doesn't receive it.. so it's like why is it even there? Maybe i'm doing it wrong.

[chirp_users] Posted as a Bug...or maybe it's not?
by Sandy Bressler 07 Sep '20

07 Sep '20

I can setup my channels on the computer and print out a screenshot of what I have done. Then I send the data to my radio and it is successful for everything but the DUPLEX settings of - or +. I have tripled checked what Chirp says I wrote to the radio and it doesn't match what I see when I look thru the MENU option of 25. For example, Channel 18 should be - and on my Chirp setting it says that...but when I check the radio MENU setting (manually) it shows +. The worst part is that if I change it manually...then it changes OTHER channels. It only seems to be a problem for the Duplex setting...the frequency remains ok, as does offsets. Also, I follow strict guidelines to turn the radio off and on and be sure it's on VFO mode when I activate CHIRP etc. Am I missing a setting to LOCK IN a DUPLEX - or + perhaps?? Sandy

Hi, I'm a relatively new user of Chirp. I like the software and I'm interested in contributing to porting it to Python3. I notice that there's a py3 branch that hasn't had any new commits since February. I spend some time trying to get that branch to run on my system without success, and I'm not sure if it's expected to work in either Python2 or Python3 at this point. In any case, what's the best way to contribute to moving it to Python3? Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

[chirp_users] Enable the Settings Tab in CHIRP?
by Benjamin 04 Sep '20

04 Sep '20

Hello, I've been looking at some of the CHIRP tutorials on YT, and I notice that some radios like the Baofeng UV5R have a settings tab where global radio options can be set. I've set up CHIRP to work with a Yaesu VX-120 (using the vx-170 menu option - only a keypad difference between the two models) and can download\upload without issue, but I was wondering if I should be seeing a settings tab on the left. Not all radios seems to have this tab. Is it an optional developer feature, or can it be enabled? Nothing in the user manuals on this unless I've missed it. Either way, I like the software. Thanks.

[chirp_users] oddities (failures) finding/installing on Ubuntu 20.04

25 Aug '20

Hi, I have a x86 20.04 system, I can't find the PPA even after doing apt-add-repository and similar steps. Roughly, I'd expect this to return something: $ apt search chirp or this to work: $ apt install chirp-daily E: Unable to locate package chirp-daily Are there known problems finding chirp-daily in the "focal" packages? Here's a sample to back it up. $ lsb_release -a Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Release: 20.04 Codename: focal $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dansmith-ubuntu-chirp-snapshots-focal.list deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu focal main # deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/dansmith/chirp-snapshots/ubuntu focal main $ head -16 /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_dansmith_chirp-snapshots_ubuntu_dists_focal_InRelease -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Origin: LP-PPA-dansmith-chirp-snapshots Label: CHIRP Daily Snapshots Suite: focal Version: 20.04 Codename: focal Date: Fri, 07 Aug 2020 7:17:00 UTC Architectures: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el riscv64 s390x Components: main Description: Ubuntu Focal 20.04 MD5Sum: 3f49c1f6dff8f224953b8a84efb0841e 135 main/binary-amd64/Release 8dc5aea5b03dff8595f096f9e368e888 32 main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz fa9ac5a217b5547bc7dd4e6e894fe135 20 main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz $ apt search chirp Sorting...

[chirp_users] Issue with Retevis RT24
by Michael Urspringer 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

Although Retevis RT24 seems to be supported by CHIRP I cannot connect to it. I get the message "Radio refused to enter programming mode 2". I am using software version " chirp-daily-20200807". If I use the original Retevis software I can read and write the device without a problem so I guess it should not be an issue with the USB-Serial driver. Does anybody have an idea what I do wrong here? Thanks, Michael

No I didn't download anything from UV 9R to Chirp but I reset the radio to default which most people say you do then reset it to English, so you say download the content to Chirp then put in what you need i/E Marine channel then it will upload afresh. Please tell me I'm correct it does let me put my radio model in on a drop down do I do that as well Thanks in advance Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

[chirp_users] Alinco DJ-VX50 HE handy talkie
by François Génolini 09 Aug '20

09 Aug '20

Hi, Is there any demand, or need, for Chirp to support the Alinco DJ-VX 50 HE (european variant) handy talkie? I have the handset, the programming cable, as well as the free software to read and write to the handset, and I have successfully read and written to my handset. The instructions on how to develop support for a new handset look feasible, so I could volunteer to make a patch if this was of interest. -- Regards, François Génolini MM7MCT

can you tell me what radio settings if any I can use to program the RTS systems ( Bosvark ). I did get a software DV3400R but with this software all alteration must be done by hand. You can't cut, copy ,paste, export or import. Tlis program file save as a .dat but it does not seem to be compatable with Chirp because I do not know as to what radio I can use to open the file. please give me a answer. thanking you Hennie -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 07 Aug '20

07 Aug '20

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20200807 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #629 [Rick DeWitt <aa0rd(a)yahoo.com>] [ic2730] Fix for issue #8159; reversed E/F DTMF codes [Martin Cooper <mfncooper(a)gmail.com>] Fix Icom radio detection Icom radio detection has been broken for a long time, because the detection code is expecting to be passed a radio instance, but is being passed a serial port instead. Since we are trying to determine the model, we don't have the relevant class yet. Instead, create a minimal radio instance to allow us to query for the model. These changes fix both the 'Detect' option in the 'Download From Radio' menu and the 'chirpc --id' command. Fixes #7905 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [AT778-UV] Update Allowed Radio Types for AnyTone AT778-UV This patch adds "V100" to list of "ALLOWED_RADIO_TYPES". Closes #8109 [Bernhard Hailer <ham73tux(a)gmail.com>] Fixes #6925, skip flag inversion in ft4.py driver.
