Good deal! Some notes on your current flatpak: - Chirp needs network access for the online repeater database and to check for updates Added, for the next version. - Chirp complains (when launched from the console) that 2 drivers need python-future package Ok, I'll add that with pip. I did some more modifications to my flatpak file and here's what I found: - pygtk fails to compile with gnome Sdk version 3.36 but compiles on 3.26. gnome Sdk 3.30 is unsupported for some reason. - I'll look into how to get things working on a newer version I'm using 3.28 as the current target. I'm not sure I really need to be using the gnome sdk over the regular freedesktop sdk but I inherited that with the json file. - Nolan's repo has a lot of stuff mine is missing. - Like a desktop shortcut Mine should show a desktop shortcut.

[chirp_users] Only 99 channels with Kenwood TM-281A
by AS 01 May '20

01 May '20

Only 99 channels with Kenwood TM-281A Hi All: Been trying to use CHIRP to program my Kenwood TM-281A. This radio is specced for 200 channels but, according to literature, reverts to 100 channels when names are used. When I download from the radio it only allows me 100 channels (0-99), even when I import a CSV file with the names deleted. When I click on the memory range I am unable to go past 99 (upward arrow greyed out). Is there a way to open up the memory to 200 channels? Thanks!

[chirp_users] Fedora COPR for Fedora 32 and EL 8
by Richard Shaw 01 May '20

01 May '20

As a stop gap measure I have created a COPR for chirp with the missing python2 requirements. https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hobbes1069/chirp/ I have built chirp for Fedora 32, Fedora Rawhide, and EL 8. One of the dependencies is libxml2 which is a C library with python bindings. Hopefully it doesn't cause any issues with the Fedora version but I'll have to stay on top of any updates to the Fedora version. This a very much a less than ideal situation but I haven't found a better one. I tried setting up a flatpak but gave up. The documentation is too poor and trying to write JSON is an exercise in frustration. Thanks, Richard KF5OIM

[chirp_users] Retevis RT24 download problem

Hi, I'm trying to use Chirp with an RT24 and I'm getting the following error when trying to download the radio memory: ERROR: ---------------------------- ERROR: -- Exception: -- ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 256, in run self.__radio.sync_in() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/drivers/radioddity_r2.py", line 364, in sync_in data = do_download(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/drivers/radioddity_r2.py", line 270, in do_download block = _r2_read_block(radio, addr, radio._block_size) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/drivers/radioddity_r2.py", line 223, in _r2_read_block raise errors.RadioError("Failed to read block at %04x" % block_addr) RadioError: Failed to read block at 0008 ERROR: ---------------- ERROR: Clone failed: Failed to read block at 0008 ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: Failed to read block at 0008 --- ERROR: None It's not always block 0008, sometimes others.

The PC is a current Arch Linux system. Reading the docs suggests that the cable might be to blame. Before contacting the seller about it I just wanted to check if this is the expected failure mode for the cable or would it not work at all if it were using a copycat pl2303? If this is a timing issue can I slow Chirp down somehow to see if that makes a difference? E.g. let it sleep for a bit between downloading blocks to give the radio/cable some time to recover? All suggestions and comments welcome! Thanks, Marc

[chirp_users] Python 3
by Tate KA7O 29 Apr '20

29 Apr '20

Being eager can bite ya in the, uh, yea.... So, like a dummy, without reading up first, I updated my primary workstation to Fedora 32. Now that Python2 isn't even a mainline option in F-32, I'm eager for a Python3 variant of Chrip. I found this: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Linux_Python3 Doesn't work here. Seems all the drivers have multiple syntax errors for Python3. I know it's a work in progress - and one day it'll be available - any rumors or rumors of news in the mean time?

For a strictly analog UHF / VHF hand-held, I would highly recommend the Yaesu FT-60R.

There is something to be said for not upgrading unless you want to, and then there is the attraction of some of the newer inexpensive gear. But I still use my Radio Shack HTX-202 (1990s?). Bought it new, and don't regret it. RS made some good, if unattractive, gear. It is a solid performer, but old enough that it does not play well with the new radio management software. I still use it for dedicated ops, like and APRS & up/downlink for high alt balloon missions. That way I don't tie up another radio for that, and I can count on its solid signal to control the instrument package @ 35km. But I admit that my BaoFeng are great for supporting local volunteer ops, especially when I can exchange an event-specific chirp image with the group, and we can all be on the same page. I just cart along my laptop, and sync all our radios. I still use my TS-830 for HF, and though I know it doesn't have all the DSP bells and whistles, it sure works nicely on phone and CW.

[chirp_users] CHIRP on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and WINE
by Tom Consodine 21 Apr '20

21 Apr '20

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS will be released in a few days. I installed the beta version of Xubuntu to see how it works. Ubuntu has dropped Python 3 and the old repo version of CHIRP. The chirp-daily Linux tarball will no longer run locally because of Python 2 no longer being available. A lot of people using CHIRP on Linux are not going to be happy. I installed the Windows version of chirp-daily on WINE 5.0 and it appears to work but the GUI theme looks terrible and the memory editor column order isn't saved if I rearrange the columns. Are there any other Windows DLLs or components that should be installed with winetricks to improve CHIRP's appearance or functionality when running it under WINE? Tom ND5Y

Dan, et alia: I have an ICOM ID-1 radio and the software that ICOM provides for it is "operating software" not programming software. Does Chirp support the ID-1 and if not, how difficult would it be to add support? I can send in a personality file for the ID-1 if that helps any. Thanks in advance and stay healthy. 73, Stuart, N3GWG

[chirp_users] Chirp will not start in Fedora 31 nor 32 beta. Works fine in 30
by Fred 10 Apr '20

10 Apr '20

Since I am mostly confined to home due to the restrictions caused by the virus outbreak, I decided to up grade my Linux system from Fedora 30 to the current version which is Fedora 31. After the upgrade, Chirp and a Solitary game which is written in Python no longer worked so I upgraded to the new beta version Fedora 32. This morning, the developers released an update which included many Python changes which fixed the Solitary game but sadly, not Chirp. So, maybe the Chirp developers will have the answer. Here is the output of starting the 20200227 Chirp version with -v: [fred@m5a97r2 chirp-daily]$ ./chirpw -v Traceback (most recent call last): File "./chirpw", line 20, in <module> from chirp import chirp_common File "/home/fred/chirp/chirp-daily/chirp/chirp_common.py", line 979 except errors.InvalidDataError, e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax [fred@m5a97r2 chirp-daily]$ The ~/.chirp/debug.log entries are dated 2020-03-14 which are from a Chirp run before upgrading from Fedora 30. A bit of an aside: Is this a Python issue in Chirp or a missing Python 2 file in Fedora 32? I notice that when the command "dnf list --installed | grep python" there is a python3.x86_64, but the python2 file is named python27.x86_64. There is no python2.x86_64 file but there is in Fedora 30 a file python2.x86_64. Although, the which command shows both a /usr/bin/python3 and a /usr/bin/python2 file exist in Fedora 32. There are several link files in /usr/bin/ with python names that seem to be new additions and probably sort all that out though. Thanks for the help. Fred

Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV-5RA...lost first words
by Bill Riess 04 Apr '20

I didn't see if the original message said this was via a repeater or direct. If via a repeater, realize some repeaters have a slight delay, especially if the carrier is allowed to drop between transmissions and/or it uses PL/DPL. Some dual mode repeaters (analog/digital) can exhibit this behavior. Also, at least one repeater in my area has a delay (1-2 seconds) on the first transmission in a conversation to discourage "pinging" the repeater.

If this phenomenon of missing the first couple of words happens when communication with a paticular individual, then perhaps that individual is "Quick Keying", or not fully engaging the PTT on their radio before speaking.? If this seems to be the case, encourage them to consciously be sure they're pressing the PTT and pausing slightly before speaking.?

Email lists are strange. Gmail doesn't send you back your own posts, which was the original setting "way" back in 1980s when everyone was on a 300 baud modem and phone lines. Conserve valuable bandwidth in those days. Now sending you your own message takes a few milliseconds. I still use mutt and thunderbird, both have "bounce" functions because sometimes my list subscribers think they have to send their emails to me for forwarding to the list. Bouncing an email makes it look like it was sent by the original sender to the final addressee - which in my case is always the email list, but it can be abused to fool people, Person A sends me and email, I bounce it to Person B and Person B thinks it was sent directly from Person A. You can see it came through me if you look at the headers. I did have my email list set up that way in 1994 when I started that list as a "one way" email list. Finally when google announced it was doing free lists, I jumped at the chance. I also printed newsletters using a Commodore 64 and GeoPublish - wow that's going back some. 73 DR N1EA On Tue, Mar 31, 2020 at 7:16 PM David <weather(a)lightingunlimited.com> wrote: > Ok another question, > > If I am responding to a post do I use "reply" or do I use "reply list"? > I use Thunderbird for email. > > David > > On 3/31/2020 10:21 AM, NE1EE - Rich wrote: > > David asked if I got a new thread...so I logged into the email > > package > to see.

NO...my "new" subject is under a thread of Yaesu FT-7100 Baofeng UV-5RA showing the hijacked message My message appears in the same 5RA thread. I was under the impression that, though the standard called out the use of In-Reply-To, it was rarely used. Not the case here, as the mail package correctly identified the thread. I suppose that has some usefulness, because someone could preserve the thread and change the subject, providing a clue to someone of the thread content. So ... You need to start a new message.

This is relating to the discussion about... >> "I am using a UV-5RA and it has about a sec delay before I hear the other person talk is this normal or is there a setting someplace that I can change? A real pain as it cuts off the other persons one or 2 first words." I've followed the discussion but haven't seen anyone mention that, if the other person in your communication is using VOX, you'll lose the first few words of his/her transmission.

Thanks for reposting this so clearly. It is unfortunate that our "reflex" seems to be to skip that first step. I do something similar: TH-D72A as found 20200320 then TH-D72A HAM NOAA 20200327a TH-D72A HAM NOAA FRS GMRS MURS SL 20200327a TH-D72A HAM NOAA FRS GMRS MURS SL 20200327b so that the saved file shows the content of the configuration. That way I can have several. I will often sit down and create different configs on the same day, so I change the "HAM NOAA" part to show that. TH-D72A GOTR2020 20200327a (to support a local event) I use "20200327a" > "20200327b" when I update a config the same day, and want to keep track of the changes. That way, if I screw up, I can go back and start over, but don't have to reload the whole radio. ~R~ 73 de Rich NE1EE On the banks of the Piscataqua On 2020-03-30 18:43:-0400, you wrote: >(1) The first thing you must do with CHIRP is download from the radio to create an image (.img file) for CHIRP to use for your radio.

I hauled out my FT-7100 and thought I'd give CHIRP a try for programming it since it's no in the list of supported radios. Everything went smoothly until I tried to connect to the radio. I'm using a Tripp-Lite USB to Serial adapter and my Win10 machine shows in on port 10. When trying to upload a newly edited copy of an old .eep file, I eventually receive a message that says it can't connect to the radio. Looking for troubleshooting ideas. Dick W4RSS

[chirp_users] UV-5R

Hello, I have 2 UV-5R's, Baofeng, which I am attempting to program with a linux, Zorinos, and a Retevis cable, which I bought with the radios. I have programmed these radios before using a windows laptop. Now I am unable to get the radio to communicate with CHIRP. It goes into clone mode and then I get a "Radio did not respond" error message. This is using /dev/ttyS4, which is the first one I got a response from. I am very much the n00b to linux and CHIRP and could use some clear directions please. Thank you, -- Joel F. Leland

I thought I sent this email the other day but must have started writing it and never sent. Is there any documented cases of Chirp bricking a radio so badly it had to be sent back for a factory restore. I see so many Yaesu users bring this up that they're afraid to use Chirp because it will break a radio bad enough to void warranty etc. etc... Dennis M.

Yes it is listed —> TK-2180/3180/7180/8180 But when you go to the program it isnt in the dropdown (Only TK-8180 ) and it isnt in the overview of supported features I was hoping someone was familiar with the interface for that radio > On Mar 13, 2020, at 11:28 PM, Nigel A.
