I use chirp on a pi 2 without problem. Downlod the version for linux.

I've got a little Raspberry Pi 2 (ARM) computer setup with UbuntMATE, and when I went to install everything I ran into problems, however we did work it out. Either way I just wanted to bring this bit to the table to request a version of CHIRP for ARM. Also, as much as I can tell what I've got setup is a text-based Python program, and documentation is slim; is there more documentation somewhere else where I'm not looking? -- http://www.ogrd.net _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to joe at np3ar(a)gmx.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com

That's correct. What I did was install it that way to make sure that all dependencies are met and then download the latest and call it from the terminal.

Just so you know, the chirp package you're getting is beyond ancient. Like, crusty petrified old :) If you're not installing chirp-daily from the PPA, or installing from the tarball, then you're probably getting 0.3.x or 0.4.x which is...OLD. :) --Dan _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to joe at np3ar(a)gmx.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe(a)intrepid.danplanet.com

[chirp_users] Baofeng UV-82
by Tim Billingsley 07 Apr '16

This is pretty sad and maybe a little off topic but .... How do you get these things to go into "Name" mode? I picked up a pair of these to have on hand when my YL and I go on a trip and I CANNOT get them to go into anything but VFO mode. I have them set to "Name" mode in the chirp settings and have tried changing them to Name mode in the menu of the radio and they will not change to anything but VFO. What am I missing? Please enlighten me before I return them.

[chirp_users] Download from Yaesu FT-2900
by Al Cohan 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

I have installed the FTDI driver for the FT-2900 and see it in Device Manager. I shows in dev mgr and CHiRP software as Com 20. I plug in FTDI cable (from Valley-Ent) the select open then new then go to radio tab and download from radio (which is in clone mode). Several times ago it said in a popup to press ok, then the MW D/MR button briefly. The display says wait, then a popup error says can't read header. I vaguely recall a while back that there were two different button to press. One if reading the radio and another to upload to the radio. Suggestions appreciated. Thank You, Al

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20160402 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #394 [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] nB: Extra step on the upload updated, fixes #3015 As we begin to find clones and they use the extra id and the extra step on the upload I updated the code to just check the common place on this step: last byte being an ACK. Comments on the definition updates for the radio clones found. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] nA: Support for the QYT KT8900, fixes #3015 Added support for the radio QYT KT8900. Updated the extra ID code portion, as this radio uses it. Corrected a comment with the correct name for the radio KT-UV980 Related also to the issue #2673 [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n9: Var name correction and debug/error fix, fixes #3015 Corrected the var name for the QYT KT-UV980. Applied some rationalization with the debug and error messages. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n8: Fixed a bug on the upload (BTECH UV2501+220), fixes #3015 The BTECH UV2501+220 has a trick on the upload, it must push an ACK and get two bytes, ending with an ACK; this just before the data upload. Also the first block of data to upload must no start with an ACK. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n7: Simplified the part for the extra id, fixes #3015 Some radios like the BTECH UV2501+220 (and others) has a second id. Just a special string on a high zone of the mem, I improved and simplified the handling of this extra ID for the BTECH UV2501+220. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n6: New _recv function, now less intensive, fixes #3015 Full rewrite of the _recv() function to read a full block of data instead of doing short syscalls, hence less resource intensive [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n5: New serial send function (simplified), fixes #3015 Simplified the serial send function to remove the time wait that is not needed now with the recent changes. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n4: New raw data receive function, fixes #3015 New aproach on the raw receive of the data, it's way more secure and less resource intensive now, and even faster. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n3: Improved the serial timeout, fixes #3015 Set a general serial timeout and apply it in the correct places. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n2: New serial flush function, fixes #3015 New serial flush function, it has the capability of survive a infinite serial data stream and warn the user about [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n1: Update email for author, fixes #3015 Just updating the email for one of the autors.

Also as this is a btech driver the common magic for the btechs is set as the default value for the main class
