Hi all,
Has anyone had any luck loading a CSV file into an Alinco DJ-G7T. I
have organised a list of FM repeaters for 2m/70cm/23cm from the WIA
repeater data spreadsheet.
I won't publish it here, but suffice to say, it's more than I want to
try and punch in via the keypad. 556 records.
First problem is getting Chirp to even talk to the DJ-G7T. I have no
idea what firmware it runs. I went looking in its menus but could not
find where this information is shown. All I can say is I bought this
from a online retailer (Andrews Communications) in Sydney around 2020.
I am running the latest commit of Chirp: commit
49698a5b21a5a696be7f2121bc3ec8f4605b5b0c on Gentoo Linux AMD64 with
Python 3.10.6, wxpython 4.0.7-r2 and wxgtk 3.0.5.1. Gentoo no longer
ship Python 2.7. No I do not have a Windows-based PC as I don't use
legacy operating systems for production work.
To even get Chirp to talk to the Alinco, I needed to patch it (I think
this will preclude me using a pre-made "binary"):
diff --git a/chirp/drivers/alinco.py b/chirp/drivers/alinco.py
index 7bfffa39..b3350653 100644
--- a/chirp/drivers/alinco.py
+++ b/chirp/drivers/alinco.py
@@ -595,7 +595,7 @@ class AlincoDJG7EG(AlincoStyleRadio):
TMODES = ["", "??1", "Tone", "TSQL", "TSQL-R", "DTCS"]
# This is a bit of a hack to avoid overwriting _identify()
- _model = b"AL~DJ-G7EG"
+ _model = b"AL~DJ-G7T"
_memsize = 0x1a7c0
_range = [(500000, 1300000000)]
I was then able to download an image file from the radio.
If I load up my CSV file, the upload option is greyed out. So clearly
I don't directly open the CSV file, I have to "import" it somehow.
If I try to copy the repeaters into the image from the radio, even just
one repeater, Chirp segfaults. So clearly it's not a matter of copy
and paste.
How does one import a CSV file into an existing radio image?

I haven't lost my mind...
...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
