Here's my CSV file if anyone cares to see what the problem might be. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "K0LNY_Glenn" <glenn(a)ervin.email> To: "Discussion of CHIRP" <chirp_users(a)intrepid.danplanet.com> Sent: Saturday, June 04, 2022 5:10 PM Subject: No Channels Found Hi, Maybe someone can look at my CSV file for me. I'm trying to import a CSV file into my TYT 9800, and I have a CSV file with almost 200 entries, and when I import, it says no channels found. I'm using Windows with a screenreader, so I am limited to what I can manage. Fortunately Chirp brings up the last radio I accessed, otherwise I would have a very hard time routing cursors to try and select the radio in the list. But I use the Jaws cursor to read a dialog box that comes up when I paste the path to the CSV file and enter. For screenreader users, or anyone else in windows, shift + applications key and then press the letter A on your file to import, outside of Chirp, and the path to the file will be in the clipboard for pasting. Browsing in the Chirp program in windows would be another challenge, that is why I do it this way. All this was easy in Linux. Anyway, thanks for any assistance. Glenn

[chirp_users] Using chirp with ubuntu 22.04
by Guy Schlosser 03 Jun '22

03 Jun '22

Hey everyone, I am new to this list, so first off hello. I am trying to get chirp running on my system. I am running Ubuntu 22.04, with all packages current. Chirp is installed via apt, as using snap or flat pack renders it inaccessible with Orca. The problem, when I download from my Baofeng Uv5r, I get an error that says module ‘collections’ has no attribute callable. Is anyone running Chirp successfully on Ubuntu 22.04? I know that Python 2 is no longer supported. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much in advance, Guy JAWS Certified, 2021, https://www.freedomscientific.com/Training/Certification

[chirp_users] Flatpak
by John KI4RO 02 Jun '22

I keep seeing references to this program but how I should use it is not at all obvious to me. I've tried asking it for help and even asked it for help with certain commands but none of it makes sense to me. I am not Linux literate by any stretch so please tell me step by step what to do. 73 John KI4RO.

[chirp_users] CHIRP Flatpak Accessibility
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 02 Jun '22

02 Jun '22

Glenn, I don't know if TEAMVIEWER is accessible, but if it is, I volunteer to help you put frequencies on your radio. I think probably that everything is working on your flatpak installation on the latest CHIRP but flatpak isn't accessible. This is a flatpak problem, not a CHIRP problem. 73 David N1EA On Thu, Jun 2, 2022, 12:49 AM K0LNY_Glenn <glenn(a)ervin.email> wrote: Hi Cinead, I did that, and after running that command, it came back with an error like no tail. When I tried to run Chirp, it read something like gtk error A few lines about gtk, but I could not copy it. My screenreader could not review it. For DJ's suggestion: Does CHIRP run if you issue this command as regular user in a terminal: flatpak run com.danplanet.chirp Seemed like it did, but it only read Chirp As Superuser and it seemed like the window for chirp was there, or an error window for chirp, but it did not function.

This past September 18th was my 76th birthday, and my 50th anniversary as a licensed ham. All I'm asking is that you be gentle with your replies, please? "RTFB" just doesn't get it.With that said, I have an older Baofeng UV-3R HT. It's the very small HT. #1) What software does it use?#2) What cable? A "standard" generic speaker/mic to USB cable, or...?I'd like to thank you Gentlemen/Ladies in advance for your courtesy.Experienced replies please.Milt.N6MG

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20220531 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #687 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Merge branch 'master' of github.com:kk7ds/chirp [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] New Model: Anysecu WP-9900 This patch adds support for the Anysecu WP-9900 mobile radio. Resolves #9827 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] New Model: QYT KT-WP12 This patch adds support for the QYT-KT12 mobile radio. #9827 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] Driver Maintenance (V2): btech.py related to #9845 Recently I have been focused on improving the speed and reliably of the btech.py driver module. Bug # 9818 was a first round attempt to bring about some improvements. This round, V2 if you will, has basically scrapped much of the original download/upload routines and has rebuilt them to more closely match how the OEM programming software works. The initialization of the cloning process is so reliable now that the code that tried 3 times before giving up was also removed. Before I submited these changes to be included into CHIRP, I wanted to reach out to a larger group of testers to validate this new code. Requests for external participation were made to some Facebook groups and the [chirp_users] mailing list. Unfortunately, there was vitrually no response from these requests for participation (and one post was removed as a violation of the group's rules). Despite the lack of external volunteers, I have been doing a broad range of testing to ensure that the changes provided in this patch will successfylly work with the broad range for radios that are supported by this driver module. The local testing was done on 5 different computers utilizing a variety of operating systems: - Windows 7 32-bit desktip - Windows 10 64-bit laptop - Linux Mint 20.3 desktop - Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) Bullseye Raspberry Pi 3 Model B - macOS Catalina laptop There were 12 different radios used for these tests. - Anyseco WP-9900 - BTech UV-2501, UV-2501+220, UV-5001, UV-25X2, UV-25X4, UV-50X2, GMRS-X1, and 1 additional pre-release model. - Luiton LT-588UV - QYT KT-8R (handheld) - WACCOM MINI-8900 Plus And finally there were programming cables available from the 4 most common USB-to-UART chip vendors (PC03 style for the handheld radio and PC04 style for the mobile radios). - Future Technology Devices International (FTDI) - Prolific - Silicon Labs - WinChipHead (WCH) Each operating system/radio/programming cable combination was tried a minimun of 2 times (1 download/1 upload) for a minimum total of 480 tests. All were 100% successful. I am very pleased with the results. This patch adds support for this "V2" method of cloning to the btech.py driver module.

[chirp_users] Fix Numbers In A CSV File
by K0LNY_Glenn 29 May '22

29 May '22

Hi, I have a CSV file for a radio that had a channel zero, and I want to start it with a one, but I don't want to rewrite a couple hundred cells. Does libra Calc have the ability to allow me to select the column and fix the numbers? So now I have two #1s and I'd like to add a 1 to subsequent numbers. Thanks. Glenn
