the column is blank as is the output of STDERR. Please see my original
post for an example of what's seen in the STDERR output.<br>

<pre wrap="">Any thoughts on why the cancel doesn't work on the Yaesu radios? Is my

<pre wrap=""><!---->
Oh, right, I meant to mention that. Apparently you're missing the
'ctypes' module. What Python and OS version are you running?
</pre>

Also mentioned in the first email: Centos 5.5. I have two versions of
Python installed but, by default, it will run the 2.4.3 version which
is the Centos stock version.<br>
python-2.4.3-27.el5_5.3<br>
python25-2.5.1-bashton1<br>
<br>
If I try to use the 2.5 version, it seems like many of my other modules
are no longer found. I've seen this before but I don't know how to
populate one version of Python's modules into a different version of
Python:<br>
--<br>
$ /usr/bin/python2.5 chirpw<br>
Traceback (most recent call last):<br>
File "chirpw", line 24, in <module><br>
import gtk<br>
ImportError: No module named gtk<br>

The Kenwood radios are really a lot easier to do than the other types,
so I wouldn't be opposed to starting down that road on some of those.
The only problem is that I have a D700 in my car, but that's my only
one, so it's not very convenient for development.

Yeah.. I can understand that and they aren't all that cheap either. I
would assume they are fairly similar but maybe that's a bad assumption.<br>

<pre wrap="">Have you chatted with the author of the VX commander software? It seems
like he's been busy for a long time and he might be willing to send you
his source code for that alpha version of the tool.

I haven't, but other people have reportedly solicited some input from
him and have not been very pleased with the results.
</pre>

Hmmmm... maybe that's when he still had time for things.. maybe things
have changed? I can try if you'd like.<br>

Your call. I'd be glad to do the work and get it back to you if you
want to send it. I'm able to reverse engineer most radios in about 48
hours (wall clock time) depending on what else I have going on.

Well, like I mentioned, the VX5 is the bottom of my list so I rather
you spend your time on the D710 first and then, if you're willing, I
can ship it up.<br>
<br>

<blockquote cite="mid:4D4D958A.6080209@danplanet.com" type="cite">
<pre wrap="">Well, I could. It used to be that the live radios were treated a little
differently in the UI than the clone types, and it generated confusion
for a lot of people. Moving to a more unified approach has made it a
lot easier to use. Maybe a "FYI this is live" pop-up with a "don't show
me this again" checkbox would be appropriate.
</pre>
</blockquote>
That would help though I think most people won't understand what a
"live" radio means. Most programs that people have used like Kenwood's
radios, VX commander, etc. are batch download/upload tools. I prefer
this live approach though!<br>

Will do!<br>

<pre wrap="">>On second thought, let me use the software to emulate the radio, and

Did you notice in my original email that there was some data output
when I selected the VX3 mode? Does that help at all?<br>
