You’re looking much healthier! Glad to see it

[@tobiaswoodcock]

just like the old days Kevin.

[@spacemanspiff85]

Good call on brltty. Cannot imagine how that ever got on the 'default' install profile.

[@johng7rwf419]

Nice to see you back on form...

[@genebodenberger]

Kevin, thank you. I have recently upgraded from Windows 11 to Linux Mint. I have had Chrip installed and wondered why I could not talk to the radios ( I keep a Windows 8 laptop running just so I can program radios). Glad to see you in much better health. Good to hear from you OM. Gene N7ARO

[@steveedwards90]

Found this brltty issue 2months ago when doing an upgrade done my head in you looking well kev

[@BarefootBeekeeper]

Nice one. I struggled for a while with that installation.

[@barrybunner464]

I have watched many videos on how to set up chirp. But yours is the best. 👌

[@ko4mkp]

Thank you Dave. This saves a lot of tme searching out the fixes you showed. It seems like your feeling better. What a long road.

[@Paturnus1]

I'm really glad to see you back in the saddle, Brother. Looking good, feeling better? 👍 73 Chris K2IF

[@loughkb]

Very very slowly improving. Bear in mind, you're seeing me at my best of the day. I record in the morning when I have the most energy. But by afternoon I'm mostly horizontal, worn out and hoping for a better one the next day.

[@Paturnus1]

No judgements here, at all. Did you get the jab? I did, plus two boosters. I wish I didn't, but had to for work. (NYC DOT) How did the docs come up with the diagnosis? I've been dragging a$$ ever since the height of the pandemic, but no one ever suggested Covid.

[@Siskiyous6]

Nice to see you again

[@tonyweavers4292]

I have tried and tried repeatedly to get Chirp installed and working but without success... until now! I followed your expert guide and it now runs as expected. I uninstalled 'brltty' which seemed to be the problem. You have, of course, a new subscriber! Many thanks indeed Kevin. I'm going to install it on my Ubuntu laptop next.

[@loughkb]

Glad I could help

[@ronmitchell6674]

Thank you. This has been driving me crazy.

[@user-rc4ov1lu1u]

Good to hear from you again.

[@reedreamer9518]

Do a Live stream when you want to test that new loop - that'll would be fun.

[@edbeckerich3737]

Good to see you back at it!!

[@ve6hdh992]

Great video. You are looking and sounding better each video. Keep progressing. Regards.

[@JT-py9lv]

*Great information Kevin. Thanks !*

[@Steven_VE9SY]

Yea Your Back at it!!!!

[@gotman4409]

Yours is superior. Thanks for this.

[@lilblackduc7312]

You're looking much more 'chipper', Kevin. Question: If I wanted to buy a SWL dongle that would be compatible with my Linux computer, what would be your suggestion? It's very good to see you again! Stay the course and "Keep the Faith"...🇺🇸 👍☕

[@loughkb]

I presume you're talking about a software defined radio or SDR. I like the Airspy HF+ discovery. I use it often. It works find with GQRX and the other SDR programs under linux. airspy.com/airspy-hf-discovery/

[@lilblackduc7312]

@@loughkb I cannot thank you enough, Kevin! I wish you all the best. Please, guard your health and "Keep the Faith".

[@RobertKross-tw4si]

Still not loading in Linux Mint v. 21.3. Get the error message: Error installing chirp from spec /home/robert/Desktop/chirp-20240706-py3-none-any.whl Been trying for months to get this to work on this distro. If I use synaptic packag manager, it loads but does nothing else. I ended up installing windows 10 on a laptop and making it my Ham Radio laptop.

[@nickbernstein]

Pretty sure that if you do a '''sudo pip install... ''' it will install to /usr/local/bin/

[@loughkb]

Tried it, and yes it does, but also spits out several warnings about conflicts with the system package manager and other things.

[@user-lv9sd8nc9b]

👋🏻👍🏻

[@craigpalmer9196]

Wb you were missed, I have a uv5k /8. I want to do the ijv firmware and chirp next which order plz

[@loughkb]

I don't think it matters what order. Although for that firmware I think you have to do something special with chirp. There might be some kind of a library you have to download and add to it. It does support the Egzumer firmware directly though. That's the one I'm using. You might have to look through the site for the IJV firmware to find out what we need to do with chirp to make it work.

[@craigpalmer9196]

@@loughkb thank you

[@ChuckYufarley]

I did everything and my list won't populate. Added my username to dialout group, deleted britty, rebooted all day, and nothing. Any ideas? Im using linux mint, based ubunto 22.04

[@loughkb]

What radio / interface?

[@ChuckYufarley]

@@loughkb thank you for responding. That was fast. It's a Radtel 470 connected to Crisp on a Ubuntu 22.04 derivative.

[@leoel666]

Regarding the use of sdr++, I can only use FM at present, and I can't receive the medium wave station and there is no sound. How should I set it up? Can you make a video?

[@loughkb]

Often if you search my channel for a subject, you'll find I already did. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qH_LmWybqsqMkMk&pp=ygUKa2I5cmx3IHNkcg%3D%3D
