[chirp_users] D72 export and COM10 follow up
Hi Dan,
thanks for your replies. I read the digest and it's not possible to create a threaded discussion that way so I hope you don't mind a new message.
I installed today's build without issue. The D72 export issue has not changed. I wait until all memories are read and select file->export. The progress bar quickly goes 4/5 or so to the right and then stalls. I exited that dialog after a few minutes. No file is created.
In this version I was able to enter COM10 by keyboard. I think the prior version had that no text input but perhaps I don't remember correctly. In any event, typing in the COM port is fine by me. It read the F6A channels pretty quickly and was also able to export them without trouble.
I suppose I should attempt to run chirp as native python in a debugger and see why the D72 doesn't export. I'm familiar with python but mostly scripts, no GUI apps. I'll check the wiki for Windows build instructions and see if I can get it going.
Thanks and 73,
Sander

Okay, thanks for trying that.

That's your call. You definitely get bonus points for fixing problems :)
One of the primary CHIRP developers has a D72, so if you file an issue on the website and attach a debug log, there's a good chance he'll be able to resolve it pretty quickly. However, if you want to take a shot at it yourself first, feel free. Instructions for getting a native Windows environment up and running are on the wiki. Feel free to discuss development-related issues further on the chirp_devel mailing list and/or on FreeNode in #chirp.
Thanks!

Indeed, if I have instructions to reproduce I will fix it ASAP. I export often from my D72 without issue, so there must be something specific to Sander's setup causing it.

Hi Tom,
I just created http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/395 . I don't think I'm doing anything special but hey, I do software QA for a living so I break stuff all the time without meaning to :)
I also set up a win32 environment but no luck running chirp yet. Somehow the gtk install didn't take. I'll tackle that again later.
Thanks and 73,

Hi,
it turned out that one of my memory channels had data in it that chirp did not expect. The log clearly indicated that but I hadn't put the pieces together because chirp did not throw a visible error. After I removed that channel using MCP-4 the export succeeded. I could then re-import the data and write it to my F6A.
Thanks,
