Dan hi. Thanks for quick response
It complained about a missing chirp.png, so I copied your logo, parked it in share/ and reran the installation, all is well, although the logo doesn't appear in the start menu (Linux openSUSE 11.4 KDE 4.6). No biggie.
Are you using a recent daily build? I think I fixed this a couple days ago.
I think so, just downloaded it today, Help > About says CHIRP 0.1.11
Occasionally when changing a channel parameter the radio does not respond rapidly enough so I get an error, but inevitably on trying again it works. Not sure whether writing with a TAB or ENTER makes any difference, these errors seem to occur regardless of which I use to enter the change.
Yes, it's very frustrating -- for the users and developer. The radio can switch baud rates at will (it seems) and each time you communicate with it, you have to send it a special block to wake it up (and out of data mode). The Icom software seems to either (a) have some interesting algorithm for doing that appropriately, or (b) blasts the radio a lot and hopes it wakes up.
Not a problem... I just need some patience
But the more difficult problem is in writing to a CSV file. Every attempt to do this fails with a python error if I try to customize the path and filename of the destination CSV:
invalid literal for int() with base 10 'A' on line 4Hmm, can you send me the full console output so I can have a look?
How do I do that? I'm using the KDE 4.6 GUI, not the command line, to invoke the program. I have both user and root terminals open, but nothing shows there, /var/log/messages shows nothing and dmesg shows nothing...
I'll be sending a contribution.
Thanks, always appreciated! :)
Right after dinner!
Hope you are not in the path of the storm. We are in Newport RI, just a little to the right of the direct target: New York City.
