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-09172011/
A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows:
changeset: 1192:1f2c4af46342 tag: tip user: Dan Smith dsmith@danplanet.com date: Fri Sep 16 20:27:52 2011 -0700 files: chirp/ic2720.py description: [ic2720] Set the used bit on memories (!)
All,
Linux Fedora RPMs for the latest chirp-daily build are now available in the KK7DS Ham-Apps yum repository.
To add the repository as a software source, please follow these instructions: http://www.d-rats.com/component/content/article/30-d-rats-yum-repository/
I know it says d-rats, the chirp files are in the same repository
After setting up the repository, open the "Add/Remove Software" tool and go to "software sources" under the system menu. Make sure the "KK7DS Ham Apps Beta Software" line is checked (enabled).
For some reason, the Fedora package manager likes the beta versions better that the daily builds, so you may not see the daily release in the list the first time you update. If you don't see it, open a terminal window and enter: yum update chirp-daily_09172011
Or, If you are running Fedora fc13 or earlier, enter: yum update chirp-daily_09172011-1.fc13
That should install the latest daily build.
Happy Testing!

On the Yaesu FT8900, the daily-09172011 now uploads to the radio without locking up and resetting radio with an error display. The other issues I noticed still exist: - The display is numeric instead of alpha. This started with 1.12.0 - The entries are limited to 499 instead of 799.
Other that I noticed - not so important: - After loading data to radio, turning on the radio starts scanning automatically. It does not do the scanning when you turn it on after the first time after loading. I did not notice this with 1.11. - If there is an error on the line from the CSV file, then the program gets data from a random line and inserts. Seems random anyway. The Program does not let you know about these errors: --- If Alpha name is not all caps --- If frequency is imported that is not in parameters
