[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 #39 [3046399+kk7ds] Formalize chirpc a bit and install it [3046399+kk7ds] Add back the easy chirpc runner [3046399+kk7ds] Make style target run flake8 on chirp.cli [3046399+kk7ds] Refactor repeaterbook item parsing for errors [3046399+kk7ds] Add RepeaterBook "rest of world" queries [3046399+kk7ds] Add support for RepeaterBook Notes field [3046399+kk7ds] Make cell background grey for immutable values [3046399+kk7ds] Align query source link on Windows [3046399+kk7ds] Ellipsize cells when column is resized smaller [3046399+kk7ds] Add repeaterbook tests and fix a bug found [3046399+kk7ds] Add super simple CLI test to get started [3046399+kk7ds] Remove two unit test files for chirp-legacy [3046399+kk7ds] drivers.ftm350: Define and set "visible" bit [3046399+kk7ds] Convert Yaesu FT-2900 for python3___ 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
Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng UV82 Preprogrammed Channels
The channels that are in a Baofeng from the factory are factory testing frequencies and MUST NEVER be transmitted on. Additionally, those frequencies are not always the same. (1) Where does your friend live? (2) Will he be testing online or in-person? If in-person, perhaps the VEs could help or know of someone locally who would help him. (3) Perhaps there is a ham club in his area. Usually, a club member will help him. (4) Is there someone in his household who could help him if you talked them through it on the phone? (5) If #4 is yes, they could install CHIRP for him and download an image file from his radio and send it to you for customization. Then you send it back for them to upload into his radio. (6) The least desirable option is for him to send his radio to you for programming. Good luck and 73 - John, KZ4KY On Sat, Jan 14, 2023 at 10:39 PM K0LNY_Glenn wrote: > Hi, > A friend of mine just got a new Baofeng UV82, he is about to take his Ham > Tech test. > I sent him a Chirp install file, but I don't know if he will be able to > access it with his screenreader in windows 11. > So I have worked with him over the phone on entering frequencies into > frequency mode. > So in channel mode, it came with some channels, but he is Blind, so there > is > no way for him to know what they are. > Can anyone send me a list of the channels they put in one of these from > the > factory? > Maybe someone saved their original file that you can copy the channels and > associated frequencies for me please. > > Thanks > > Glenn > > ___ > chirp_users mailing list > chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com > http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users > This message was sent to John Wuest at jhwu...@gmail.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 > ___ 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

[chirp_users] RepeaterBook Worldwide
Hi all, In continuing this weekend's RepeaterBook theme, I wanted to point out that today's build contains support for RepeaterBook's worldwide directory, That means the list of countries in the drop-down box has gone from three to over a hundred, with hundreds of repeaters listed for many countries. Again this is a volunteer-maintained database, so it's only as good as you make it, but if you've never had the ability to query sources in CHIRP, give it a try! https://www.repeaterbook.com/row_repeaters/index.php?state_id=none --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

Re: [chirp_users] help running chirp-next on RPI
Hello Dan, Was just going to open a new issue, but looks like you’ve already beat me to it. Do you want me to add any additional information to the ticket as you sort of already know the wxPython version is the issue? Further more, Im running the current 32bit Raspbian (armhf). I’ll hold off upgrading to the new ARM64 architecture until we’ll get the base installation working first.
