Taking another look at the original email, what I'm seeing is that the email sent by Fred appears to be using "smart quotes' on the Mac (or at least it's sent from "Mac OS X Mail 10.3" per the headers). 


Here's what his email looks like internally (inside the MIME envelope):

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/plain;
	charset=utf-8

Tip - it=E2=80=99s not Mac iOS (that=E2=80=99s the OS for the iPhone). =
It=E2=80=99s MacOS.

FTDI does support Mac OS quite well. The cloning cables I've gotten =
directly from the manufacturer or Valley Enterprises.

73=E2=80=99s

Fred
KI7BCL


Note the use of the unicode code point E2 80 99, which is defined as:

U+2019 ’ e2 80 99 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK

(more here: http://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl?start=8192&number=128)

Chris appears to be using Hotmail (and charset ISO-8859-1) based on the headers in his email. 

There's an article on Apple.com about this.  Apparently, disabling smart quotes will fix the issue:
- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6322119

FYI--I've seen similar problems when people use Word to compose their emails and then copy-and-paste the text to the email client.  Word also uses smart quotes (which means it's using the 'e2 80 99' code point instead of the old-fashioned regular apostrophe (code point 27)).

Although it seems to me that perhaps if smart quotes are becoming more common, that perhaps Hotmail should start supporting them correctly.  As I mentioned in a previous email, my Android email client (GMail app) had no issues with Fred's original email.  And now that I'm on my PC (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with Thunderbird), his email reads just fine (I.e. no extraneous question marks).  However, if I look very closely, I can see that the apostrophes in his first sentence are visually distinct from the apostrophe in his second sentence.  The difference being that the ones in the first sentence are smart quotes and the second sentence has the old standard apostrophe.  The same is true of the apostrophe in his sign-off '73's'.  The apostrophe is actually the "RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK' again, which is visually distinct.

Here is the answer I got from FTDI regarding their cable chipsets!
Let me ask again: how many of you are Mac iOS users, and where did you get your cloning cables from?
THanks.

Tip - it?s not Mac iOS (that?s the OS for the iPhone). It?s MacOS.

FTDI does support Mac OS quite well. The cloning cables I've gotten directly from the manufacturer or Valley Enterprises.

Are you asking about iOS, the operating systems on devices like iPhones and iPads; or about MacOS, the operating system on MacBook laptops and iMac desktops? You specifically stated a version of High Seria which makes me think you are actually asking about MacOS, especially since Chirp doesn?t run on iOS. Both FTDI and clone cables are supported on MacOS as well as it?s predecessor Mac OS X.

Cheers,
Jim

"FTDI doesn't support iOS" isn't the same thing as " iOS doesn't support FTDI"

Just buy a cable for your radio, perhaps from your radio manufacturer's web site, and try it. Report back on your findings.

Unfortunately, he answered the wrong question. Mac uses macOS (formerly
known as OS X), not iOS. IOS is for the iPhone and iPad.

Is your chipset compatible with that iOS?

I see clearly where the mistake was made...by me. I?m the one that used ?iOS? instead of just ?Mac OS?. I learned something today. So I will order the cables I need for my two Yaesus, download CHIRP to my MacBook Pro and go on from there. Thanks to all for your assistance.

My question has to do with the FTDI chipset and Apple computers. I have a MacBook Pro with iOS High Sierra version 10.13.2 installed.
Is your chipset compatible with that iOS?
Thank you.

To all who have been following the work on Wouxun KG-UV8E issue #3943.

I uploaded a debug log and I wasn't expecting my username and password to
be in plain text, so the entire issue had to be deleted.  (Thanks Dan)

I'm using Ubuntu linux here and a couple days ago I got the new daily
build available e-mail notice but I never got the new version when I did
a system upgrade.

Today I looked at the Chirp Launchpad PPA page and it shows the latest
chirp-daily is 20180104 but then it says "5 packages waiting to build".

Is the PPA broken or something?
