Re: [chirp_users] Location field

This feature is useful if you have one radio that you only program from PC-to-Radio, and if you are using CHIRP to keep track of Frequencies. The minute you read the channels off a radio (Radio-to-PC) in the other direction, the location field and the notes field would be empty. And it would likely be a chore to transplant your location data and notes from another CHIRP programming list. I believe the columns present in CHIRP are an aggregation of programmable fields found across multiple radios that are CHIRP compatible. ~baji / K 8 I I T . _ . _ .

[chirp_users] Location field

In the database fields it would be super helpful if there was a field for location. A field long enough to spell out a city or locations something like Santiago Peak. I understand this would not appear in the Baofeng radio display but just having it in the Chirp data base would be very helpful. Even a notes field to use for this would be great. thanks!

Without the -20 (or other number) you'll get 10 lines by default. Try:- dmesg on it's own as a comparison! ;-) See:- man tail for details of the tail filter. ~~~ If you have the radio's user manual, and it has all the CAT commands etc described, install "cutecom" A nice little graphical serial terminal program... sudo apt update && sudo apt install cutecom Should do the trick. (You'll only be asked for your password once.) (Launch it from the command line with just cutecom or find it in the "Other" menu choices from the Mint menu button, at least that's where it is on this box.) Then you can try to manually communicate with the rig, to try out the interface. That can be another "steep learning curve" but it'll do you good to learn how to do such things for the future, especially with bit rate, data bits, parity and so on. Hope something helps. PM me if you need to keep from QRM'ing the list. (I've Bcc'd you direct so you can reply direct if needed..) 73. Dave B.

Please ignore there are some spurious *'s creeping in, where in this case, it makes the text bold. My mistake in formatting the message to emphasize things. :-( Other than the command line command ls /dev/ttyU* please ignore them! 73. Dave B.
