[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

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-20210406 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #646 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add a brute force test for model detection The regular per-image model detection tests are not very well-suited for sussing out issues with one image being detected as multiple models, and it can be fooled if the right one is returned first from the directory. This adds a new unit test that runs through all the images and tries to match_model() every driver in the directory against them, asserting that not more than one matches any given file. Also included is a fix to make the unittest adapter use helpfully- named test images and makes the existing Detect test report the filename of the image it is trying, for easier debug. #0 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Move rt21 match_model() up to the base class The RT21 lineage has a match_model that clearly intends to be on the base class (as it checks for model==RT21), but is actually present only on the last subclass in the file. I'm sure this was an accidental detaching after the original implementation. After the driver maintenance (related to #8957, #8661 and #8959) the detection test started noticing this, probably just due to an ordering change. [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT76] Retevis RT76 This patch adds support for the Retevis RT76. Related to #8959 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RB26] Retevis RB26 This patch adds support for the Retevis RB26. Related to #8661 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RB17A] Retevis RB17A This patch adds support for the Retevis RB17A. Related to #8957 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT21] Driver Maintenance: retevis_rt21.py This patch is prepare the driver for adding additional radio models. 1: fixes some incorrect code 2: reformats some code 3: allows CHIRP to make 5 attempts at putting radio into programming mode. Other than for number 3, no features or settings have been added or removed from this driver. Related to #8957, #8661 and #8959 [Rick DeWitt <aa0rd(a)yahoo.com>] [icomciv] Add IC-7300 Live Mode support, Issue #4013 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [AT-778UV] Add support model variants that include VOX This patch adds support for the new model variants that now include VOX: Anytone AT-778UV VOX 3.0 Retevis RT95 VOX 2.0 fixes #8859 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [AT-778UV] Add anytone778uv.py driver to cpep8.manifext This patch adds the anytone778uv.py driver to the cpep8.manifest in order to enable style checking. related to #8859

Still working on getting a current version of CHIRP on Debian Stable. Here's the latest. flatpak uninstall chirp Found installed ref ‘app/com.danplanet.chirp/x86_64/master’ (system). Is this correct? [Y/n]: y error: Remote "chirp-origin" not found I have tried to install (or reinstall) chirp using flatpak and I've been confused and unfulfilled. I did find this script on this page https://piratesinteepees.org/installing-chirp-in-ubuntu-20-04/ ##### #!/bin/bash # # # This script updats chirp flatpak to latest daily build # Add this to root's crontab for automatic updates # If run as standard user, you will get a popop asking for admin password # # #Make download folder if doesn't exist mkdir -p ~/Downloads/ChirpFP #Move to Download folder cd ~/Downloads/ChirpFP #Remove previously downloaded flatpaks rm *.flatpak #Pull link from download page and download latest flatpak wget `lynx -dump https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/ | awk '/http/{print $2}' | grep flatpak` #Install the file flatpak install -y --noninteractive *.flatpak ##### I tried it, but alas, I still get the cryptic error: Remote "chirp-origin" not found I am still confused and lost.

[chirp_users] Yaesu vx-170
by Joseph E. Rouillier III 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

All Thank you for taking your time to look at this issue. I have a Yaesu VX-170 that I came across. Once I got it home I did a reset on the radio to bring it back to factory defaults. Next I tried reading the radio from Chirp, (Download from Radio). That fails no matter what I try it will not download the file from the radio. The radio almost immediately shows error after pressing push to talk seeing TX. and then in chirp I see Failed to communicate with radio: Failed to read header (0) Attached is the Debug. Also just for testing I got a VX-170 file from a friend and tried to download it to the radio also had errors. As soon as I get the radio into RX Chip shows a error indicating Radio did not ack block at 0 the radio screen never shows error it continues to show RX. See attached Debug.log file. Note I tested the cable to see if it was the problem borrowed a friends cable as well, both cables same issue, and both cables successfully program an FT-60 and my friend is able to read/write his VX-170 with his cable and my cable and he sees the same errors as I do when trying my radio. I tested the jack with a speaker mic to make sure the jack seems to be working correctly, speaker mic work fine can RX and TX. Finally in desperation I removed the battery and opened the little cover under the battery and confirmed the radio was modded by someone removing the 1 0 ohm resistor, and it looks like it only had 1 resistor as the 2nd upper one looks to clean as if it was never there from the factors. I believe the MOD is Expanded RX or TX I do not recall as I've never needed to perform the mod was aware of it from researching the radio itself. Thanks for any assistance. Attaced is the debug file that should contain both Download and Upload from Radio failures.

[chirp_users] Support for Radioddity GS-5B?
by babj615 29 Mar '21

29 Mar '21

I do not see the Radioddity GS-5B listed on the roadmap, or anywhere else on the CHIRP webpage. Will there not be support for this radio? I have been using CHIRP with my BaoFeng radio with great success, wish to also use it with my new Radioddity GS-5B. Thank You! -- *///*Andy
