Hello CHIRPers I have a Yaesu FT 270R and tried to program it via CHIRP...but it looks like this model is not covered. Any wizards out there that will be adding this model to the programming list in CHIRP in the not too distant future? 73's Eric

[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV8E
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 19 Apr '17

Hello CHIRPers. This Wouxun KG-UV8E is a wonderful radio. It's tri-band, nice. I've tried through two former radio officer friends who live in Hong Kong to get in touch with the engineer at Wouxun to see if he would provide CHIRP devs some info on their software control scheme. No luck, despite continued tries. I still have mine up for offer to loan and I have the programming software and cable. I'm almost going to either sell this or buy R/T software just so I can import from other radios. Anyone interested? 73 David N1EA

Hi, Looking for some guidance from the Linux gurus. Linux newbie here. I have zesty installed and I added the chirp repository from the install page. During updates I get a failed to fetch error. My chirp is from 1/24/2017. Of course my radio template is one of the newer ones so not in this version. It is in the latest windows build. How can I get an ubuntu update? Thanks Terry Sent from my iPhone

Hi Guys, I'm just wondering if anyone had any issues with the com port opting being blank when trying to upload or download a radio. I'm using a surface pro with only one post and it's supposed to be com port 3. Any help would be appreciated!

I just receiver my new QYT KT-8900RE and to my surprise CHIRP has NO listing for that radio, is there a plan in the near future to add the QYT KT-8900RE to your listings? Thanks, Pete-KA6OZS

[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-857D
by Doc Stevens 18 Apr '17

Using CHIRP for Yaesu FT-857D. Noticed when I reprogram radio display defaults to 'Tag' which shows station name. I use frequency instead. I find no option in CHIRP to change this default. Has anyone found this option in CHIRP? Thanks.

Conversation are fluid, some people quote full blocks and interleave their comments and trim, while others hit reply without selecting anything which by default will place the cursor above the entire email they’re replying to with all the sigs at each end of all text underneath rather than this interwoven style. Each email, I have to “hop” down to look for new content and screen carefully that I don’t miss something. Switch to a daily digest for a few days, and you can see what I see.

Problem solved, at the cost of a few seconds on behalf of each sender. And, I opine, a good email habit to have, anyway. > > Though it may not be relevant for this list --- I have not paid attention, partly because there is so much fog in each thread here --- I often get emails that are replies that also include the attachment sent with the original post, and all because the sender simply hit reply or reply all. I think we’re on the same wavelength. I try to keep things simple & only quote what’s needed—thus my list member suggestion (#2: highlight & respond to small chunks) that was after the more scripting intensive #1 suggestion. I do not want to leave the list because I can find out about new features and see issues as they develop. However, simple troubleshooting can create a lot of noise that forces me to skim some digests. I don’t want to curtail anyone’s freedom of expression either—some of the .sigs still crack me up. Unfortunately, short of setting up a phpBB bulletin board for developments, troubleshooting/help along with this channel I see no way around these long chains. BTW, some daily digests contain 20+ emails with complete threads repeated each time which can make for 30+ pages of scrolling. If you want to see it, switch to digest & wait for a busy day (or just copy a full day’s worth of emails into one long text document. I recall one week where I was interested in a thread about support for a new radio, but I gave up trying to follow it after a day or two of it popping up with increasingly long emails. Either way, the noise (or “fog”) actually discourages me from following things here closer—but it’s not like most people have a ton of free time anyway. :) Thanks, M

Re: [chirp_users] chirp_users Digest Excessive Length
by M Noivad 17 Apr '17

I make this request as a person who only received a single email a day since my involvement with this group is more of an issue/application state monitor end-user, that prefers receive concise emails that will take up less time to read. With that in mind I am requesting either admins or end users to take a more active role is reading the raw emails that do not hide repeated copy. Is there any way (A) the mailing list manager could scrub signatures & boilerplate text added at the end of each message when sent in daily digest format? this block: > _______________________________________________ > chirp_users mailing list > chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com id repeated in every message even in digest form. Also, not truncating .sigs longer than 80(chars)x4(lines) after the first mention make for a very long email when sent in digest form which could be scripted out of creating reams of text. I noticed even the long .sig asking people to consider not printing goes beyond the 4 line .sig guideline established on the UUNET/newsgroups* which tells me others may see this as an issue to. (*Prior to WWW gaining inline images, email lists & newsgroups—like phpBB—was the main method most people used to communicate bidirectionally w/o having to register a domain name, in case some do not know.) If you notice, I do not intentionally add a .sig for this reason. (But I do own all typos & editing mistakes:) This is merely a suggestion. Do with it what you will. Members of this list could also highlight sections they wish to reply to & hit reply in most email applications to trim (semi-)automatically. (For instance: I just hit reply with my setup here.) Thanks CHIRPers, M —anything below this line was added by the software on my end or from the mailing list manager—
