[chirp_users] New chirp-next build
Greetings, A new build of CHIRP-next is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree since yesterday and may include additional features, bug fixes, etc. As a reminder, this is different from the "daily" CHIRP builds in that new development and features are happening here. It is the latest and greatest, but also may be less stable than the "daily" builds at this time. If it works for you, we recommend using CHIRP-next, but if your radio is not yet working on it, then you may prefer to use the "daily" builds for the time being. You can get it from here: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_next/ A list of changes since the last build are here: Changes for Build #28 [3046399+kk7ds] Fix TYT TH-UV8000 [3046399+kk7ds] Fix crash on linux due to missing print preview___ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to arch...@mail-archive.com at arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscr...@intrepid.danplanet.com To report this email as off-topic, please email chirp_users-ow...@intrepid.danplanet.com Searchable archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com

I am not a Norton fan. It and many of the mainstream antivirus software has let me down. I use one called avast. And it does fairly well. The have free versions and paid. Just my two cents on antivirus software.

Re: [chirp_users] chirp-next radio reference options
> Not sure if this has been asked, and I apologize if this topic has been > discussed. > Would it be possible to implement a zip code option for proximity search as > one of the options from Chirp legacy? Are you talking about radioreference (per your subject) or repeaterbook (which had a zip code before but doesn't anymore)? RadioReference is still via zip code, so I'm confused if that's what you're asking. RepeaterBook's formal API, which I switched to in -next gives us a ton more information than the old chirp-specific one. The old one did have a zip-code option, but it was only for CHIRP, and it requires a lot of work and expense (for RepeaterBook) as ZIP code information is not free. It could be added back in (but we need RepeaterBook to do that), but it would be better if we can avoid it. There was a discussion about this earlier on the list. The new repeaterbook query box has a search field where you can put cities, counties, and even landmarks to filter the results. The lat/lon is optional, but if you put it in, it will sort by distance from you. I think if you leave everything blank, but choose a state and type a county name that should be fairly close in functionality to before, no? Where I am, my zip code is pretty small, but my county is big, which gives me a much better sampling of "local repeaters." That said, if you (or anyone else) feels like zipcode searching is absolutely critical, please file a feature report and I can work with the RepeaterBook owner on it. No promises, but, the process starts there :) --Dan ___ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to arch...@mail-archive.com at arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscr...@intrepid.danplanet.com To report this email as off-topic, please email chirp_users-ow...@intrepid.danplanet.com Searchable archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com

At one time, it even flagged MS-Word as a viruswhich you may regard as a "virus", I suppose. Even so we stopped using Norton's on campus and went to something more accurate. Since I retired some time ago, after doing considerable research on anti-viri, since Microsoft is most familiar with how their OPSYS works, I have chosen MS' Windows Defender, supplemented with MalwareBytes. Those seem to have done the job for several years. In my opinion, all anti-viri have to have "hooks" into the operating system, so, in a certain sense, they are viruses themselves. Better to use an anti-virus designed by the designers of the OPSYS. In any case, I have had catastrophic failures with several antiviri, therefore, the above.

Re: [chirp_users] chirp-next Repeater Book options
My apologies, I actually meant to say RepeaterBook. Not sure what sort of brain dyslexia cause me to mixed the two up. But I guess this filter is a new feature added in the newer build . Prior which I think only had a latitude and longitude boxes. The new filters are pretty nice, and indeed much better as a zip codes filter does not necessarily fine tune the search results as good. However, I do notice another useful filter that might be useful. Band filter? But instead of a drop down menu, perhaps it could come in a form of checkbox so that one can select just 2m and 70cm or whatever band combination to be included? Persistence state that it would remember the next time use it, and an all / none button? Maybe not really need it , as realistically there really aren’t that many bands be a chore to select.

Listing them all would be a chore, selecting more than one makes the interface complex and larger. I haven't moved on anything for this yet just because I can't think of the best way to represent it. Out of curiosity, and I know this sounds strange, but.. why do you want to filter that way? I say that because I never just query a source and then dump all the results into my radio - I pick the one I'm looking for, or the ones in the area where I'm going. Also, almost everything in my area is 2m/70cm, so filtering out all but those would not change the list a whole lot. I guess maybe if you're looking for only 2m repeaters you might not want to see all the 70cm ones? Anyway, please do open a feature request and I'll do some more thinking. If other people have thoughts on this, let me know. --Dan ___ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to arch...@mail-archive.com at arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscr...@intrepid.danplanet.com To report this email as off-topic, please email chirp_users-ow...@intrepid.danplanet.com Searchable archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com

As for why I would have a selection , where I live and the place I’ve been traveling to tends to have a large variety of different bands. In the San Francisco bay area, there’s lot to pick through for un/wanted results. Legacy version allowed me to say just grab just 220 bands, or sort by frequencies via memory slots page, and trim out what I need and dont need. Chirp-Next doesnt seem to have either functions. Its more a quality of life thing, I guess? > Anyway, please do open a feature request and I'll do some more thinking. If > other people have thoughts on this, let me know.

Thanks, I've got something to push up for tomorrow against that when I see it. It's not perfect, but hopefully it will at least partially address the concern :) --Dan ___ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to arch...@mail-archive.com at arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscr...@intrepid.danplanet.com To report this email as off-topic, please email chirp_users-ow...@intrepid.danplanet.com Searchable archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com

As an experiment I grabbed the chirp-next-20230107-[win32.zip, installer.exe] files from https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_next/next-20230107/ and ran them through virustotal.com. chirp-next-20230107-win32.zip (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/1166435ba1881327a13f115e0a0cf4b9e75067a188d023ae826dc7a44d4ddf0a) detects on four different antivirus packages (Antiy-AVL, Gridinsoft (no cloud), Jiangmin, and Zillya) out of 67. chirpwx.exe is the file that seems to tweak those antivirus packages, as well as the fact that chirp-next tries to determine if it's running in a debugging environment and checks to see if there are any .dll files (Windows libraries) it needs that are missing. This is not uncommon behavior, so as a heuristic it's bobbins. I wouldn't worry about it. As for chirp-next-20230107-installer.exe, it was already installed and scanned (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d4cec6f1171d56cfae3a1801355ee60df308c0d71a06b45e9321112447948666) so there was pretty much zero wait time. Out of 67 different antivirus packages, only two (Antiy-AVL and SecureAge) triggered, and that was largely because the installed contacts one other IP address on the Net to download a couple of dependencies. 4 out of 67 and 2 out of 67, respectively, pretty solidly suggest that there's nothing malicious with the chirp-daily builds.
