Re: Phoenix is emerging as the city of the future

2023-06-23 Thread Jim via PLUG-discuss
One thing I've noticed about mass transit in the Valley is the money 
wasted on that train.  The train only goes where there are tracks.  
Instead of taking multiple lanes from traffic to put in the rails for 
the train, buses surely would have been a better solution.  A bus can go 
anywhere.  If a wreck blocks a road, the bus can take an alternate 
route.  The train is stuck until the wreck is cleared from the tracks.  
Some event causes an increased demand on a route, more buses can be 
easily added.  I remember when politicians were talking about the rail 
before it was built. They were saying it would cost $40 million a mile.  
$40 million is a helluva lot of buses, and we know government projects 
always end up costing way more than what the proponents say it will when 
they want the suckers (voters) to vote for it.

As a life long Arizonan, I can say that, without even reading the

If Phoenix wants to be considered a city of the future, it needs to 
embrace dense urban planning (and get rid of this ridiculous urban 
sprawl), have an actual functional mass transit system, have actual 
(and affordable) entertainment, and be an actually good place to raise 
a family (which means schools that are worth a damn, walkable 
neighborhoods, family friendly entertainment, and a halfway decent 
medical system).


Right now the only thing still anchoring me to Arizona is a decent 
paying job. If that job ever goes away (more like when than if) then I 
will be looking for a better place to live.

Hi,

Came upon this article that sounds interesting. 
https://www.axios.com/2023/06/21/phoenix-chips-cars


I posted an article a while ago about a class that was being offered 
to teach chip making skills (if I recall correctly).


Any thoughts on how this will help/effect Linux folks... Open Source 
people... etc?


Are we going to become Austin, TX where I hear the city is over 
populated... freeways are over crowed... etc?


Is there a shift from Silicon Valley?

How is this going to effect us?  What are the opportunities?

Keith

Re: CHIRP on Kubuntu 22.04

2023-06-23 Thread Jim via PLUG-discuss
My cable only has one connector and the radio is a Yaesu Ft-65R. It used 
to work before I upgraded to 22.04, and still works on windows 10.

I had the same problem.  After some frustration, I discovered that 
putting pressure on that dual audio-style connector with my hand to 
hold in tightly in place throughout the entire download process solved 
the connectivity problem.  Then again, I'm using a cheap Baofeng radio 
and Baofeng cable, so that might not be your problem.  (Also, I'm 
running Debian, not Kubuntu.)

Looks like it's just creating a generic usb serial port, so I'd
presume you need to tell the program your hardware device serial
speed, flow control, bits, etc and have it misconfigured currently
it's erroring in that seeing bits it expects returned.  Being
legacy serial vs like a hardware sdr, this is not negotiated but
rather needs set for your device requirements usually, but
depending on your hardware that might not always be the same.

Also make sure the port is actually running on /dev/ttyUSB0 and
not USB1 or other, I've had this happen if a cable gets yanked or
wiggled causing the device to reset too quickly and is already in
use.  Check using "dmesg | grep usbTTY" to make sure the number.

There's no way in CHIRP to set any of this.  It gives me the option to 
set a port.  My options are /dev/ttyS0 - ttyS31 and /dev/ttyUSB0.
Also make sure the port is actually running on /dev/ttyUSB0 and not 
USB1 or other, I've had this happen if a cable gets yanked or wiggled 
causing the device to reset too quickly and is already in use.  Check

dmesg | grep usbTTY provided no results, but "dmesg | grep usbTTY" 
returned the following:

I've put myself in the dialout group.  Still doesn't work.
