Hi! Trying to make the subject computer and software run. Had it running, albeit without the Mac drivers and the 2021/08/30 distribution broke it. Anybody else trying to get this to work and how did you do it? Thanks, Kerry

Yaesu FT270 H/H Greetings, so far I have used CHIRP with 100% success in programming many radios. What I REALLY need is being able to program the YAESU FT270 Hand Held. When is one of you brilliant guys going to update CHIRP with this radio?

[chirp_users] CHIRP under Debian Linux
by D.J.J. Ring, Jr. 08 Sep '21

08 Sep '21

Unfortunately, CHIRP under Slackware on my wonderful SLINT.fr installation variety is failing to work. I prefer to run Debian because it has many more CLI - Command Line Interface - programs than Ubuntu. Does anyone have a proven method of adding repositories to the /etc/apt/sources.list in Debian Sid? With hopeful wishes, I remain, respectfully yours. David N1EA =30=

Re: [chirp_users] Problem with Retevis RT98 2M mobile
by Ken Hansen 03 Sep '21

03 Sep '21

Adding to my previous note: I was able to download the Retevis software and read/program my radio, so the comms between laptop & radio should be OK. When I went to the mfg website snd selected the RT98 Vhf radio, I was told to use the proper software based on my radios serial number. My radio serial # is 1907.... so I used V1.01, there is another version (1.02?) for radios with a higher serial number range. I suspect CHIRP isn't handling the particular model I have well. I'm good to program my radio for my needs, but I'm happy to help with testing/debugging if needed to improve support for this radio.

[chirp_users] Wouxun UV9D MATE transmit range
by chris＠imagineimagery.com 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

Hello, thanks in advance for any help you may offer. As a member of my county search & rescue team, I have always used CHIRP to program my handhelds to be able to communicate on our county SAR channels, in the 155 range. With my old Wouxun KG-UV8D, there was an area in the CHIRP settings tab to expand the transmit range into these frequencies… I just upgraded to the KG-UV9D MATE. Although not listed in the official supported radios list for CHIRP, the radio does connect and is programmable as a KG-UV9D PLUS. Understandable as they are practically the same radio. However, the same “transmit range” field that is available in CHIRP settings when I connect to my UV8D isn’t available on the 9D. Is this something that might become available in an update, or is there a workaround? TIA Chris Miller

[chirp_users] MacOS CHIRP won't launch solution.
by Mermaid 28 Aug '21

28 Aug '21

A few days ago I saw some email exchanges where some people with MacOS , presumably running Mojave or earlier are having problems getting it to start at all. It would quietly fail without any errors. There is actually a solution posted months ago. I’m wondering since this is a known issue, why haven’t this 2 character modification fix been pushed in the macOS default code branch? Anyways, here’s the url to the solution which I always apply when ever I update my CHIRP installation. https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/8845 Lynda W5EGL

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-20210826 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #660 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT22S] add 6.25 and 12.5 tuning steps The Radtel T18 and Retevis RT22S radios both support 6.25 and 12.5 steps. The radtel_t18.py driver does not have a "rf.valid_tuning_steps" entry in get_features() so the COMMON_TUNING_STEPS list in chirp_common, which does not include the 6.25 and 12.5 steps, is used by default. This patch adds an "rf.valid_tuning_steps" entry to get_features() and specifies the TUNING_STEPS list in chirp_common, which does include the 6.25 and 12.5 steps. Fixes #9305 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] Driver Maintenance: radtel_t18.py 1. Add to PEP8 manifest 2. Perform PEP8 cleanup Preperaton for #9305 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix dangling references to generic_xml A too-swift removal of the generic_xml module on my part left some dangling references to it in the UI that prevented anything from working. This removes those and fixes that problem. Closes #9307
