I don't run MacOS, but I believe what I have heard is that the reason it doesn't run on Mac is that MacOS only comes with Python3.x now (no idea why), and chirp is written in Python2.x. In Linux you can have more than one version of Python installed. I use Linux Mint, which comes with both Python 2.x and 3.x. I have one program that requires Python3.7, and I have that installed, too. I start that program from the command line with "python3.7 ", only because I haven't yet bothered to add that to the menu or add an icon on the desktop. I can't imagine that the same thing can't be done on Mac, and a quick web search turned up this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34680228/switch-between-python-2-7-and-python-3-5-on-mac-os-x ___ 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
Re: [chirp_users] Chirp under Linux
Cables using the Prolific chipset have always been a problem. I always buy a cable with the FTDI chipset. I did recently program a radio with a Prolific chipset cable, so maybe those drivers have been added to the kernel now, too. There have been fake Prolific chipsets out in the wild that are unreliable, so there's that problem, too. As far as I know FTDI always works. Thank you for reading this. I bought a Baofeng UV-82HP about four months ago and I cannot get Chirp to read from the radio, or in fact to do anything with the radio. I'm running Chirp under Kubuntu and have tried every Chip daily version over the past four months. This is the error message that I receive when I attempt to read from the radio: "Radio did not respond" These are the entered parameters: /dev/ttyUSB0 Baofeng UV-82HP I have read and write access to the serial port which is the same port that I use for several application including programming an Arduino board. I have tried several different Baofeng models, just in case, with the same result. I've trimmed the plastic from the plug so that it slips into the radio's sockets more easily. I've attempted to read from the radio in both channel and frequency modes. Finally, I've searched the Internet for even the slightest clue but to no avail. I do not know anyone who owns a Baofeng radio or who uses Chirp. So this mailing list is my last hope. Any clues at all will greatly appreciated. ___ 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

Re: [chirp_users] Patch for Bug #6381
There is a command line program that works with many DMR radios, dmrconfig. It will download from the radio to a text file you can edit with any text editor. Once you have the changes made in the text editor then you can transfer it back to the radio. I have used it with Baofeng and Radioditty radios and it works well. I haven't tried it with my Anytone radio yet. Oh, and the problem with Baofeng DMR radios is ancient history. https://github.com/sergev/dmrconfig/wiki >Now if we can just get these pesky DMR manufacturers to do the CPS in >python so we do not need that >trojan called Windows... -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

Re: [chirp_users] Chirp under Linux
For me, and for everybody I know, in Linux it "just simply works." When for everybody else, it works, perhaps rather than blaming the program or the OS, maybe you should start thinking, "What am **_I_** doing wrong?"
