[chirp_users] unable to save img files
by GEO Badger 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

I'm on win10. I read the radio, FT-857D, then try to save the file, no joy. Doesn't work as a "save" or "save as". I can export to csv only. --- Ciao baby, catch you on the flip side. GEO http://www.w3ab.org Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.

Also, fix running in a test environment. Related to #3781

[chirp_users] Command-line Linux
by Mike Ray 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hello. Just joined, so, this is probably a question that has been asked before but here goes. I just bought a Baofeng UV5R and I want to be able to program it from the Linux command-line. Just uploading, downloading and editing memory channels etc. I don't really want to do this either from Windows or from the Linux GUI as I'm a blind user and it's my experience that a lot of these applications are not accessible. Particularly on Linux as unless it's written in GTK it'll be almost inevitably impossible for me to use. Mike G4XBF -- Michael A.

[chirp_users] CSV File - No Channels Found
by Robert 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

I've been using Chirp for years on several radios and have successfully uploaded a multitude of CSV files. However, I just got a new radio – the TYT TH 9800. I've already loaded several CSV files successfully but when I try to add a new file for just the AMSAT birds I'm getting an error of "no channels found." I cannot even find a reference to "channels" as a header, or anywhere from Uncle Google that answers my questions. I've attached the file I'm trying to import. Suggestions welcome, 73 de Robert K3RRR

[chirp_users] Newbie questions - export/import in CSV
by Stormy 29 Jun '16

Hi there, So, got the UV-5RHP, and I hear everyone laughing, what diff do these letters at the end, anyways, it seems to be true 3-power with original UV-5R body: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Real-8W-BAOFENG-UV-5R-High-Power-Walkie-Talk… Now, is there a way in chirp to: 1) change ALL channels to LOW or HIGH/MED ? it seems very tedious to do one by one, and even if you do, next import from CSV overwrites all values to high it seems. 2) In CSV format power field does not appear to be present, is there a way to export/import POWER field? 3) In CSV there are 4 extra fields compared to software, what are they used for? | Comment | URCALL | RPT1CALL | RPT2CALL | " thanks.

[chirp_users] Changing Power Settings in Chirp csv file
by Jon G 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

*I think the easiest way to make large changes, a whole column for example is to open the csv file in Excel, make the change to the column them save as the same csv file.* *Reopen in Chirp and viola! Change is there.* *Dr. Jonathan Goodson*

I bought what appears to be the same unit, but labeled UV-5RTP (for tri-power, I presume?). Jim's directions work for me. In addition, note that once those channels are programmed, then they cannot be changed from the radio controls. However, You /can/ temporarily change the power level. Press #-lock to cycle through the power levels. It seems that once you choose a power level this way, the power setting remains until you reset the power level, turn the radio off|on again, or change programmed channels. In the latter case, the power level goes to the power level programmed for the new channel. I keep mine all programmed to low level, and cycle to higher levels as required. In fact, I wish that the lowest level were 0.5 W, not 1 W. Could not find a way to hack the radio to change that. ~R~ NE1EE Short email? No html?

[chirp_users] Zastone MP-300 a clone of the Waccom Mini 8900?
by Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hi to all, Chirp developer here for the BTECH/Juentai/Waccom/QYT/(huge list...) family. I have a paper note here about the ZASTONE MP-300 radio being a clone of the Waccom Mini-8900 and I can't find the reference or confirmation to it. (busy days here, sorry.) Can any of you test/confirm this out? If any of you have a ZASTONE MP-300 and want to have it supported by Chirp, please contact me off list. Cheers. -- 73 Pavel CO7WT.

Hi, As of build 20160625 the read is getting much further, however after clicking the various sections I get to Bank Names (Band B) and get a pink window with no data displayed. The status bar shows [0] Getting bank information for memory 399 The DSTAR window is not populated either. Running in terminal reports the following errors: On clicking Banks (Band B): Exception in thread Thread-4: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 810, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/common.py", line 261, in run job.execute(self.radio) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/bankedit.py", line 138, in execute mappings = self.__model.get_memory_mappings(mem) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/icf.py", line 544, in get_memory_mappings index = self._radio._get_bank(memory.number) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/ic9x.py", line 83, in _get_bank return mem._bank AttributeError: Memory instance has no attribute '_bank' It seems that the bug in Bank A has been corrected, but the same or similar bug occurs in Bank B, once again trying to read Bank names for memories that dont have bank name attributes. Thanks Wenlock
