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-20161116 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #449 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add test image for Alinco DJ-G7 Related to #699 [Mathias Weyland <lt-betrieb(a)hb9uf.ch>] Add support for Alinco DJ-G7EG. Partially addresses #699 This patch adds basic support for the DJ-G7EG. The patch was tested on Linux and Windows 7 and can reliably download memories from, and upload memories to the radio. Other flavours of the DJ-G7 are not supported yet because I don't know whether they use the same memory map or not. The patch introduces a new class to the alinco.py driver. This is some- what unfortunate because the radios supported by alinco.py so far are all quite similar. The DJ-G7EG is considerably more different from the others, yet still sufficiently similar to re-use some of the methods implemented in AlincoStyleRadio. I'll leave it up to the reviewers to comment on that. Code that might be of particular interest to reviewers is marked with "FIXME" comments. The patch does not support changing bank assignments, groups, and/or radio settings. I am planning to add dynamic bank assignements as soon as I have figured out how to do this best with Chirp. [Tyler Tidman <tyler.tidman(a)draak.ca>] Minor PEP8 cleanup for some drivers. Fixes #4161.

I have a FT1D and had similar problem. Cable would not work with RT systems software.. had to use a micro sd card with RT program. Put card in radio after programming and then uploaded the program from sd card to radio.. worked well -----Original Message----- From: chirp_users-bounces(a)intrepid.danplanet.com [mailto:chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com] On Behalf Of Robert Carter Sent: Sunday, November 13, 2016 8:49 AM To: chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com Subject: [chirp_users] programming Yaesu FT2D I picked up my general license this year due to an incident I was involved in -- remote accident with no communications.

Set the baud rate to 38400 8N1 -- nada. Nothing to/from the FD2R. I'm willing to guinea pig here and run some experiments. If anyone has any ideas, I'd like to hear them. This should be this hard (well, except for windows). I checked over the last year of the CHIRP mailing list and didn't find any posts relative to the FT1D or FT2D, so I guess I'm breaking new ground. /KC1FAC/ _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Bob Boehme at w2iri(a)cox.net To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com

Re: [chirp_users] Wouxun D901 DMR Flash Memory
by Kenneth Strom VA3KRS 15 Nov '16

15 Nov '16

Does anyone have a copy on file of the original Flash memory for the Baofeng D901 DMR HT? A friend bought one and somehow locked up the new HT. A VFO reset would not work. Any suggestions? Other than another D901 Clone-to-Clone Data transfer perhaps. Had a similar problem with another new UV-5R although I managed to reset it okay. This is why I emphasize when buying any radio, new or used to get a VFO image file of that single radio on disk in case this happens. Kenneth Strom VA3KRS

[chirp_users] New vv-898s
by James Flanders 13 Nov '16

13 Nov '16

Last month I bought a Liexen vv-898s. It has taken me a good while to figure out how to use the software that came with it. I can work repeaters, however I have to set the squelch at zero in order to receive. Even with a 7db antenna at 30 at the base. The version I have is 1.05. I understand that the chirp software at the moment does not work with this version. What can I do? This TXCVR fits perfectly in my 2016 Nissan Frontier. I really want to keep it.

Can they be set up to show the name on channel mode -a and b--and then show the assigned frequency number to same when switched to freq Mode Also what about squelch setting I can only here rx on local weather channel band Sent from my iPad
