Re: [dstar_digital] CHIRP: An open-source programming tool for ICOM radios
I have the 91ad. I've just downloaded the software, and am trying to install the stuff. I'm looking in the wiki, and don't see anything as of yet as to what happens after you download the file. The reason for such excitement is that i am totaly blind, and this rs91 software that I am using is not verry useful. I can kinda sorta edit memories, but as for having any kind of functionality it doesn't. The idea of an alternative really has me excited particularly if I can use the thing!!!

Re: [dstar_digital] CHIRP: An open-source programming tool for ICOM radios
Okay I have the software installed, and when I use the csvdump.exe file. I am not seeing a good gui. What kind of graphics are you using? Are they bitmap graphics? If so can you make this a windows standard diwlogue? This would make it easier for those who are totaly blind to use. - Original Message - From: Dan Smith To: dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 2:48 PM Subject: Re: [dstar_digital] CHIRP: An open-source programming tool for ICOM radios I have the 91ad.

Assuming you're on Windows, there is a csvdump.exe in the zip file. Run that and you'll get a GUI that lets you select your radio and serial port. With the 91AD, you can go straight to the bottom and choose a filename and hit export to dump it out.

Well, I should point out that there is also a command-line tool in the package that lets you do things without a GUI. Right now, it doesn't have an option to dump the data to CSV, but I'll gladly add it. It's the chirp.exe binary in the zip file. If you're comfortable running that from a command-line, it may work better for you with a screen reader. -- Dan Smith dsmith#danplanet.com, s/#/@/ www.danplanet.com KK7DS [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [dstar_digital] w9fyi
What call sign data that is presented doesn't matter. It is nothing of use anyway. If you can determine what box you've checked, or which combo box you are in, mainly using gateways etc, then you've got the gist of using the dongle. The only box that isn't labeled thus far is the box that you would use if you wanted to connect pier-pier, and I'll bet AA4RC could get that taken care of. - Original Message - From: Ray T.

[dstar_digital] dstar on radio training?
Hi there, I'be been using d-star, and I can honestly say taht I love what I'm seeing so far, and I hope that d-star continues to grow. I'd like to seesome d-star on radio classes where newcommers to the d-star area of our hobby can go to learn about what their radio, and d-star can do. Is that possible? o Justin Mann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Windows live: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [dstar_digital] D-STAR and blind hams
The bottom line is that you don't use the dial. If you are in memory mode, then you can use 001, 002, 010-100 to access various memory locations. It would be nice if the radio had a beep at channel 1 like the kenwood thf6... - Original Message - From: David B.

Justin, thank you also for your timely response ... I've not played with a 91, and in fact I've not had a chance to play with MY 92AD since I lent it to ANOTHER friend while we are testing the repeater. Being sighted, I have the disadvantage of relying on seeing when I am on channel 1 for example. If I recall correctly, there isn't a hard stop to tell you when you are on the first channel for reference, so how do YOU know where you are starting from? I DO program with the software, and have perhaps 10 entries for a given repeater, with each entry having a different URCALL, from CQCQCQ to WY0X, depending on who I want to reach.

Re: [dstar_digital] D-STAR and blind hams

Re: [dstar_digital] D-STAR and blind hams
Hi there, I am totally blind, and i have a 91ad, and so far I've not had much difficulty getting the rig to work. The key to making any of these radios work is that you have to program them using the software. Then, you have to set each memory location to a speciffic call sign, and/or repeater. so forinstance this is how I have my setup starting with channel 1 mem 1: 440.8125 urcall :cqcqcqcq rpt1 w7mot b rpt2 w7mot g mem2: urcall: /w7mot a rpt1 w7mot b rpt2: w7mot g I hope that makes some sense. Each memory has the same freq/offset, but just different urcalls, and the repeater1, and repeater2 - Original Message - From: David B. Toth I have a very Linux-savvy friend who is a network geek for a local ISP ... I was going to lend him my 92AD ... I can lock it onto the 450 module here in town that we are testing, but I was wondering if anyone out there has experience operating these rigs without vision.
