[chirp_users] OSX and the TH-D72 with CHIRP

[Mark Cohen]

Hi Dan, 

In help/about I see "CHIRP 0.1.11" GTK 2.16.6 PyGTK 2.14.1

When I click "Download from radio" I see the following :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/mark/CHIRP/chirp-0.1.11/chirpui/mainapp.py", line 552, in mh
    self.do_download(*args)
  File "/Users/mark/CHIRP/chirp-0.1.11/chirpui/mainapp.py", line 283, in do_download
    d = clone.CloneSettingsDialog(parent=self)
  File "/Users/mark/CHIRP/chirp-0.1.11/chirpui/clone.py", line 140, in __init__
    self.__make_ui(settings)
  File "/Users/mark/CHIRP/chirp-0.1.11/chirpui/clone.py", line 115, in __make_ui
    self.__port = self.__make_port(settings and settings.port or None)
  File "/Users/mark/CHIRP/chirp-0.1.11/chirpui/clone.py", line 61, in __make_port
    port = ports[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

I see no pop-up for the radio/version/port etc.. 

In chirp/platform.py there is the following block :

    def list_serial_ports(self):
        return sorted(glob.glob("/dev/ttyS*") +
                      glob.glob("/dev/ttyUSB*") +
                      glob.glob("/dev/cu.usbser*") +
                      glob.glob("/dev/term/*") +
                      glob.glob("/dev/tty.KeySerial*"))

On my system with device presented by the radio when plugged in it uses  /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART (Only when plugged in)

When I changed it to this :
def list_serial_ports(self):
        return sorted(glob.glob("/dev/ttyS*") +
                      glob.glob("/dev/ttyUSB*") +
                      glob.glob("/dev/cu.usbser*") +
                      glob.glob("/dev/term/*") +
                      glob.glob("/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART") +
                      glob.glob("/dev/tty.KeySerial*"))

I see the Radio window pop up with the serial port listed, vendor and model. I select the radio and model and see the following :

PC->V71: ID
V71->PC: 
PC->V71: ID
V71->PC: 
PC->V71: ID
V71->PC: 
PC->V71: ID
V71->PC: 
--- Exception Dialog: Unable to probe radio model ---
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/mark/CHIRP/chirp-0.1.11/chirpui/clone.py", line 160, in run
    cs.radio_class = detect.DETECT_FUNCTIONS[vendor](cs.port)
  File "/Users/mark/CHIRP/chirp-0.1.11/chirp/detect.py", line 101, in detect_kenwoodlive_radio
    raise errors.RadioError("Unable to probe radio model")
RadioError: Unable to probe radio model


It never iterates through the possible kenwood radios.

I then noticed in the detect.py that r_id = kenwood_live.get_id(s) is commented out and the tmv71_ll.get_id(s) is not as below.

def detect_kenwoodlive_radio(port):
    s = serial.Serial(port=port, baudrate=9600, timeout=0.5)
    r_id = None

    for rate in [9600, 19200, 38400, 57600]:
        s.setBaudrate(rate)
        s.write("\r")
        s.read(25)
        try:
            #r_id = kenwood_live.get_id(s)
            r_id = tmv71_ll.get_id(s)
            break
        except errors.RadioError:
            pass
    s.close()

When I tried to reverse the comments, the radio detection stops after the first iteration.

So, here is where I'm stuck! :)
