[chirp_users] New chirp-next build
Guy Schlosser
Tue Jan 3 20:01:31 PST 2023
Even though I didn't get chirp running from the command line, I was able
to run it with python3 chirpwx.py while in the source folder. Here's
what I found:
Orca is reading menus, and will allow you to open and save files
After opening a known good radio image, Orca announced to me that the
memories page had focus, but I was still unable to arrow around and read
the various memory values. I was able to export the image to a .csv
file, so a good image it definitely was.
That's all I have from the short tinkering I did. Good luck team in 2023.
Thanks,
Guy
