the column is blank as is the output of STDERR. Please see my original post for an example of what's seen in the STDERR output.
Your initial email shows the output of it trying to fetch a name. I want you to edit the name field and show me the output of it trying to set it (to see if the radio reports anything different).
Also mentioned in the first email: Centos 5.5. I have two versions of Python installed but, by default, it will run the 2.4.3 version which is the Centos stock version.
Okay, yeah, python 2.4 apparently didn't have ctypes. So, you won't be able to cancel a blocking operation on older versions. I'll have to make it handle that more gracefully.
If I try to use the 2.5 version, it seems like many of my other modules are no longer found. I've seen this before but I don't know how to populate one version of Python's modules into a different version of Python:
You need to install them specially for the newer version. For the XML and GTK libraries you need to use, that will likely be more trouble than it's worth.
Yeah.. I can understand that and they aren't all that cheap either. I would assume they are fairly similar but maybe that's a bad assumption.
They are the most similar of any of the brands, but as you can see from your F6A experience, they do differ enough to break things now and then. For the most part, the F6A driver uses all the same code as the D700, D7, and (soon to be) the D710. However, some of the command strings are formatted just a bit different.
Hmmmm... maybe that's when he still had time for things.. maybe things have changed? I can try if you'd like.
He was solicited within the last couple of months, but feel free to try again :)
Well, like I mentioned, the VX5 is the bottom of my list so I rather you spend your time on the D710 first and then, if you're willing, I can ship it up.
Okay, I'll let you know.
That would help though I think most people won't understand what a "live" radio means. Most programs that people have used like Kenwood's radios, VX commander, etc. are batch download/upload tools.
Yeah, I was just being short. The box would need to explain the situation.
I prefer this live approach though!
Yeah, a lot of people want to be able to script interaction with the radio so that they can automate a base station.
Did you notice in my original email that there was some data output when I selected the VX3 mode? Does that help at all?
It depends. It looks like it might be the 10-byte identification block that most of the Yaesu handhelds use to initiate a clone, but it's not as obvious as most of the other models. Regardless, *all* of them use a completely different in-memory format, so there's a *lot* of work to be done for each new model :)
Thanks!
