Jim Thank you, that has done the trick.? I have downloaded the repeater list into one .csv and will now create separate pages for different geographic areas I visit.
Having radio in my MGBGT during a Spanish Road trip in 1986 found us an MG mechanic on the Costa Brava when I burnt out the brake pads racing down the Pyrenees!? Having g a YL (Now XYL of 36 years) who speaks fluent Spanish did help
Cheers JEFF G6EXF?

Just export the UK repeater list from the RepeaterBook website to a CHIRP compatible CSV file. Then import the CSV file into a CHIRP tap that is compatible with your radio. Jim KC9HI

That would be good to let the Repeaterbook website know about. Maybe they need to do something to make those appear. They made some changes a few months ago. I don't know what those changes are, but if it's supposed to list them for you over there and it's not, and if no one reports it, it will continue that way. The above should get you a web form to contact them.

Thank you Donald
Yes with the right lead Chirp thinks it is a 2720 Works beautifully
Only downside is I cannot seem to find UK repeater lists through Chitp, Repeaterbook is only showing me American and?Canadian lists.? I have the app on my phone and that has uk lists

Hi
I want to use CHIRP tp Programme my IC-2725e - cannot find it in the list. Will chirp work with this rig, and If so what substitute rig should I use?
Thanks G6EXF

I don't remember if there's a system on the danplanet website for bug reporting but there should be some way of providing feedback.

Thank you, Donald.? Yes, the radio is in the list
of radios - it just does not read it.? Strangely, If I use a
similar cable that worked with my scanner, it has a light on it
and when I tell Chirp to connect, and specify the radio type,
the light on the cable begins to flash quickly, which might mean
that communications is in progress.? Or maybe it is just
transmit data expecting a response from the radio.
I really don't want to spend the money for RT
System's program and cable if I can find some other way to do
it.

Is it a supported radio? If not, I think there's a place on the CHIRP web site
that allows you to ask to support a radio not on the list.
With the model numbers that close, I would expect it might be the same inside
the radio's database. By any chance does RT Systems support that radio? That
might be your only way to program it from the computer right now.
I will say I've used both, and while I like RT Systems' programming software
better, if my radio is supported, CHIRP does the job OK. But RT isn't free.

Has anyone been successful in using Chirp on an Icom IC-91A?? I've tried 5 different cables, ones that are supposed to be OPC-478 compatible, and work on my myriad of HT and HF rigs.? First, Chirp is unable to automaically identify the radio and says so, eventually.? Second, when I specify IC-90, it seems to scan all of the channels, but all are blank and I know there are channels stored in the radio.? If I try to put in a frequency, it says that the radio is not responding.? All of the cables generate good COM ports.? Windows 11...

Re: Help: How Install CHIRP on Linux Mint 20.3 Uma?
Yes. Doing it this way gives you the ability to say that you have installed CHIRP. But, unfortunately, installing CHIRP from apt or synaptic does not install the latest CHIRP build and will be missing support for the most recent radios.
If the radios that you own are supported using this method, you are fine. But if you have CHIRP supported radios that are not supported by the CHIRP that is installed using this method, you will have to uninstall CHIRP and then install the latest flatpak (or snap or appimage) build.

It's in the repository for Mint.? I just installed it on a 20.3 machine last week with

Re: Help: How Install CHIRP on Linux Mint 20.3 Uma?
Thank you Jim, I think I'll wait until Python 3 becomes available. Good idea?
However, I notice the article link you sent was dated Nov. 13, 2020, almost two years ago. Has there been no update since then? I guess I don't know if Python 3 is out or not. 73, Richard AG5M

Did you try using the flatpack?? It may work.
The source tarball will most like not work on a modern distribution without a whole lot of work.

Help: How Install CHIRP on Linux Mint 20.3 Uma?
I give up.? Running CHIRP on Linux Mint 19.3 was easy.? But since going to Linux Mint 20 (now Mint 20.3 Uma) I find no way to install CHIRP anymore.? Is it even possible?? And if so, can someone tell me how to do it, in EXACTING detail.? I find no answers on Google that has helped.? And I'm far from being a computer programmer.? Thank you, 73 Richard AG5M
