[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 18 May '16

18 May '16

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-20160517 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #402 [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] Add a flag to know we have a BTECH gen3, fixes #3015 This 3 gen wave of BTECH radios has new settings items and we need a flag to know when we are dealing with one of these to show the settings properly. This is an advance to the real settings modification. 73 [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECHs] Add support for the new Gen3 wave of BTECHs, fixes #3015 This add support for the new generation (3gen) if the following BTECHs: * UV-2501 * UV-2501+220 * UV-5001 73 [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][KT8900] Comment about old versions of KT8900 in the UI, fixes #3539 All points that the QYT KT8900 is the main OEM model, and there are two variants of it, from the prespective of the communication dance: * One is with just the ID and right to the down/up process (clone of WACCOM Mini8900) * The other (is the default now) with a second id read & a extra step on the upload process. As both uses different communications steps we can't put them both under the same case, fortunately the "older" model has a clone in the WACCOM Mini8900. We put here a notice on the failure to read a KT8900 to warn the users to try the WACCOM Mini8900 instead.

[chirp_users] CHIRP with Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite)
by Sam Barrett 17 May '16

17 May '16

I checked back through the archives for several months, and I couldn't find my question. So, at the risk of repeating what has already been discussed, I'll ask. I have not been able to launch CHIRP on my iMac. I have installed CHIRP and I have installed PYTHON. CHIRP still fails to launch. I'm sure that this is 'operator error', so can someone tell me what I've done wrong or failed to do? Thanks, Sam - W5KF

Re: [chirp_users] Btech UV5001
by Robert Frick 16 May '16

I have recently acquired the Btech UV5001. I also have the Btech UV2501+200 and the FTDI cable and the latest drivers. I am able to download and upload on the 2501+200, but I have not been able to have a successful download with the 5001. I continually receive the error that the radio os unable to be identified. I am able to program manually but I hate not having the ability for uniform programming with my other radios via CHIRP and my saved CSV files. Is anyone still working on the UV5001? the radio works well, I just want to be able to program with CHIRP.

We are paving the way for the new radio.ALIASES feature that will put aliases on the UI in a user friendly way. We have internal tests going on about it. 73 Pavel CO7WT.

[chirp_users] Sainsonic GT-890 explicit remove from the UI in Chirp, and clones to the UI
by Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) 12 May '16

12 May '16

Hi to all. Please note that after approval of the new patch sent to the devel queue, next versions of Chirp will not have the Sainsonic GT-890 listed in the Vendor/Model listing on the chirp interface. That's just for a unknown time frame, keep reading. This change obey to the fact that the two variants of the Sainsonic GT-890 known to us are a perfect clones of two variants of the QYT KT8900, so to read/write to the Sainsonic GT-890 you must select the QYT KT8900 instead, the wiki page on the Chirp's site was updated today to reflect this change. Having a clone listed side by side with a reference radio put some challenges to the validating scripts in the devel stages and from the developers point of view & programming paradigms it's wrong. We are working on a solution for that, it will bring clones to visibility on the UI in a user friendly way; a few links for the curious: http://intrepid.danplanet.com/pipermail/chirp_devel/2016-April/003955.html http://intrepid.danplanet.com/pipermail/chirp_devel/2016-April/003958.html PS: After we test this new change for the clones to show in the UI for the BTECH's and family; that trick can be expanded to other families like the Baofeng UV-5R with it's many clones... 73 Pavel CO7WT
