Re: [chirp_users] TYT DMR Radios
by Tom Morris 08 Jun '18

The TYT cable is just a straight through cable. CHIRP would need a lot of functionality added to support dmr. First, the radio is like a "model 3" Motorola in that you need a zone/channel assignment. You'd need to implement this to use analog only. Then, to do dmr, you need timeslot, color code, and contacts. For each channel it will need an individual or group contact set, as well as an optional RX group list. You'll need to have the ability to edit the contacts and group lists. Not by any means saying it's impossible but it would be a big chunk of architecture to add to a package that only implements analog for the time being.

[chirp_users] chirp accessibility?
by Bartek 07 Jun '18

07 Jun '18

Hello, I have a question about the accessibility of the program for people using a screen reader. (e.g., NVDA). does anyone have any experience in this matter? I have pre-tested but the program is completely inaccessible. it's about windows10. I am looking for a software for a blind person to be able to program the radio myself. regards Bartek

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 07 Jun '18

07 Jun '18

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-20180606 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #527 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix Jetstream 270MH offset and mode/power bugs The mode bit is elsewhere, and the power field is actually two bits. Also, the offset for the start of the alpha tags was wrong, causing the tags to be out of sync with the memory channels. #5865

I have downloaded latest version on computer with Windows 10 and can't download radio to computer so I could add some new frequencies. It comes up saying there was an error and couldn't open the port. Lamar

[chirp_users] Suggestion

My work around is to delete every line in Chirp and then import. I often rearrange all 126 lines. Dennis M.

Re: [chirp_users] UV-5R issue
by Dave B 29 May '18

29 May '18

There are ways in Windows to fix a USB/Serial device's identity, so that it always shows up at the same COM number each time, or at known different (but predictable) ones depending on which USB hole you connect it to. For example, see the info here:- http://www.w1hkj.com/doku/doku.php?id=howto:taming_the_wild_comport_in_wind… As well as telling Windows 10 (if that's what you use) to allow applications to access to that port. Take care, ANY USB system re-enumeration (that happens when you plug in / power up an attached device, or unplug / power down a device) can cause a COM port to be re-assigned. Note too, that any USB hub's put in-between the PC and device, makes it a whole new ball game. Under Linux, look up how to use "udev rules", where so long as the USB device has something unique about it's identity (a serial number for example) a similar trick can be done. Note though, many Prolific (and clone) devices do not have any unique identity compared to many of their brethren! FTDI devices usually have a unique per-device serial number string somewhere. I only have one SiLab's device, so can't say about them. At http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm There are two links of interest. # Microsoft USBView <http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm#MicrosoftUSBView> # Linux USBView <http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm#USBViewLinux> Follow the one for your type of OS and you'll be able to see the device information to understand what's going on. The linux version will need compiling, but is well worth having, though you do also need to run it via sudo so it has the rights to read the needed info from the system. (I believe it can be built on MAC's too, but have no first hand knowledge re that OS.) 73.
