by Build System 14 Apr '17

14 Apr '17

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-20170414 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #476 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [UV-5R] Fix pep8 Issue This patch fixes a pep8 issue that I thought I has already fixed. releated to issue #4445 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [KT8900D] Add Alias for Surecom S-KT8900D Owners of the Surecom S-KT8900D mobile radio can easily be confused as to which vendor/model to choose in order to program their radio because it is a variant of the QYT KT7900D mobile radio and not the QYT KT8900D as you would assume. This patch adds an alias for the Surecom KT-8900D which will automatcally choose QYT KT7900D as the vendor/model. related to issue #4697

In the attached are kenwood (top) and baofeng column names. Which columns in baofeng do I put the kenwood QT/DQT Enc & QT/DQT Dec numbers that are circled? Do I also have to change Tone Mode to TSql, DTCS, or Cross? thx in advance, -- --Jim McIver

[chirp_users] baofeng_kenwood

The kenwood program has some different stuff in the QT/DQT Enc, like D032N and it won't let me type it in the Chirp Tone or Tone Sql column. How do I enter the information into chirp? See attached. Also, I guess it's normal when you put codes in Tone & Tone Sql, it changes the Tone Mode to TSQL? thx, -jm

[chirp_users] Questions regarding packaging
by David Thurstenson 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

Hi, I manage chirp-hg on the Arch User Repository[1], and there has been some discussion about how things should be packaged going forward. My main question is regarding chirpc. I'm aware that the release tarball (chirp-daily-20170406 as of the time of writing) does not currently include chirpc and it's documentation, but I'm not clear on why. What is the reason for it's exclusion? I ask as we are deciding whether or not to include chirpc in the release package. The Arch Packaging Guidelines for Python packages[2] strongly suggests using the setup.py installer that is released by upstream, and the exclusion of chirpc from this installer seemingly indicates that it shouldn't be included in a downstream package. Since some users might like the option of using chirpc, I want to include it, but if it's not release-worthy, I'll include it as a separate optional package instead. Thanks, David [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/ [2]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_package_guidelines

[chirp_users] What I did...
by ronmaxkaraoke＠aol.com 09 Apr '17

I have been fighting with the Chirp Program to get it to work on my computer. I tried everything that you told me to do and even order a another cable that has the FIDI chip in it and it still did not work, then I thought about (PC MATIC) that I had just installed and it was stopping part of the Chirp Program from being loaded. So I turned off (PC MATIC) and reloaded Chirp Program and wa-la it worked. So for those that are having a problem with getting Chirp to work tell them to check there Anti-Virus program. Thanks Ronald Burns

[chirp_users] Help with opening chirp program
by Scott Dalstra 08 Apr '17

08 Apr '17

I downloaded the chirp software to my laptop that uses windows vista using the appropriate dated file described in the directions. Download was successful, I created a new folder to store downloaded chirp program in. After completing the download I tried to open the program to start using it, when I opened the folder to start the program the only thing that happens is it shows me all the program files. Is the program supposed to start automatically or is there a specific way to start the program after it is down loaded. I uninstalled and reloaded the program a few times thinking I did something wrong, it just won't start. Any simple direction would be helpful. Thanks
