Really like the new look of CHIRP! I still cannot use CHIRP on Windows to program my AnyTone 778UV, but other than that it works just fine. 73 KI4RO.

David Bucha, Thanks for this little note below when it comes to Ubuntu 22.04 installs. This did the the trick for getting past pip and make Chirp work.

[chirp_users] New chirp-next build
by donotreply＠chirp.danplanet.com 04 Jan '23

04 Jan '23

Greetings, A new build of CHIRP-next is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree since yesterday and may include additional features, bug fixes, etc. As a reminder, this is different from the "daily" CHIRP builds in that new development and features are happening here. It is the latest and greatest, but also may be less stable than the "daily" builds at this time. If it works for you, we recommend using CHIRP-next, but if your radio is not yet working on it, then you may prefer to use the "daily" builds for the time being. You can get it from here: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_next/ A list of changes since the last build are here: Changes for Build #25 [3046399+kk7ds] Add generic search field to repeaterbook query [3046399+kk7ds] Save and restore main window position [3046399+kk7ds] Extend hint text on query fields [3046399+kk7ds] Make memedit font bold to help readability

Re: [chirp_users] New Chirp-Next Build

I'll have to wait to catch up with this needed (and welcome) change, as I first need to upgrade my OS (Mint 19.3 64 bit, still supported until April) to a later LTS version first. That... Is going to take me some time, just to recreate all the tools and utilities I've used over the last 5 years etc. I did try the "Python Wheel" (not heard of them before) but just spent 20 minutes untangling the mess it made of my home folder, after following instructions found at https://realpython.com/python-wheels/ The venv could not be created, as it was trying to create a folder ./env/bin/activate that is the same name as the file "activate" in ~/env/bin ! (I have Python 3.6.9 installed, and otherwise working well...) In the mean time... If anyone manages to create a FlatPack, or ApImage for Linux, that would help a lot more people do a lot of the needed testing, with (in the first instance) a known collection of files and dependencies etc all supplied as needed, at the expense of disk space... (Might even be an idea for overall user deployment on Linux? As most just want to use it, not fight the system just to get it running...) Just a thought. (Not all of us out here live on the bleeding edge, preferring stability and reliability instead of continual changes.) 73 and Happy New Year.

[chirp_users] Please Provide SHA256 and signed signatures of Downloads
by Rusty Fedora 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '22

Please tell the developers to provide pgp signed checksums of he downloads aswell as SHA256 checksums. Since SHA1 is weak and broken and SHA256 is the key standard for almost all linux distros and major software. You could still keep the SHA1 but have SHA256 as well as a signed signature .asc file signed with the developer/s GPG key.

Re: [chirp_users] TRYING to program radios to RF channels?repeaters
by gandy-o＠twc.com 17 Dec '22

First you need to know that most of these newer/Chinese radios can also be used on business, FRS, & GMRS frequencies as well as Amateur so it depends on what you want as to where youneed to look. If you are wanting Amateur only repeaters you can as others have said use repeater book. It is built into chirp. All you need to do is install chirp plug in your radio and under the heading Radio download it to the app and then under the same heading look for import from or Query Repeaterbook and follow the prompts as to what you want. I hope this will help you.
