You’re looking much healthier! Glad to see it
just like the old days Kevin.
Good call on brltty. Cannot imagine how that ever got on the 'default' install profile.
I have watched many videos on how to set up chirp. But yours is the best. 👌
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.
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
I'm really glad to see you back in the saddle, Brother. Looking good, feeling better? 👍

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.
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.
Nice to see you again
Great video. You are looking and sounding better each video. Keep progressing. Regards.
Found this brltty issue 2months ago when doing an upgrade done my head in you looking well kev
Nice one. I struggled for a while with that installation.
Thank you sir, all your pointers have helped me sort out Chirp on Linux Mint v22
Glad it helped.
Big thanks, the serial port issue was driving me crazy. Works OK now.
Good to see you back at it!!
Nice to see you back on form...
Good to hear from you again.
Do a Live stream when you want to test that new loop - that'll would be fun.
*Great information Kevin. Thanks !*
Looks like they've changed the instructions again since you made this. I can't figure it out. I guess I'm going to try and install the legacy flat pack.
When I enter that command string (Linux Mint 21.3) it just says 'command not found' ... how do I know which bit it cannot find? I do have python3 ...
Somebody else was having that problem and it turns out they were pasting in the dollar sign at the beginning instead of starting with the sudo
@@loughkb Yes I noticed that. The first line to copy from the chirp site is not as long as in the video. I ran that and the install-chirp line but it just says error. I may throw the Baofeng out of the window ha ha ....
Pretty sure that if you do a '''sudo pip install... ''' it will install to /usr/local/bin/
Tried it, and yes it does, but also spits out several warnings about conflicts with the system package manager and other things.
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
What radio / interface?
@@loughkb thank you for responding. That was fast.
It's a Radtel 470 connected to Crisp on a Ubuntu 22.04 derivative.
doesnt work. after copy past of $ sudo apt install python3-wxgtk4.0 pipx it says command not found
It says which command not found?
Delete the $ off the start can't have 2 of them
@@vango3820 wait, did you actually paste the dollar sign ahead of sudo?.
@loughkb I bet he did. Don't tell anyone but I did the first time to. 🤣 Luckly I caught it.
Wb you were missed, I have a uv5k /8. I want to do the ijv firmware and chirp next which order plz
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.
@@loughkb thank you
👋🏻👍🏻
Yea Your Back at it!!!!
Seems like a convoluted way to install a program. AppImage would be so much easier, but I guess there are technical issues at play.
I so wish every dev would go to appimages. Everything would be better and easier. For some other reason they seem to be moving toward flatpack and snap, which really clutters up the filesystem.
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"...🇺🇸 👍☕
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.

@@loughkb I cannot thank you enough, Kevin! I wish you all the best. Please, guard your health and "Keep the Faith".
Thank you. This has been driving me crazy.
Yours is superior. Thanks for this.
You needn't reboot after changing group membership. Just logout and log back in.
Generally yes, but on some distributions in the past it didn't work. Never figured out why I figured it was just safer to suggest a reboot which should work in all cases.
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.
Glad I could help
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.
I have the solution.
You will need to add --system-site-packages
After the install command for the package. If it says it is already installed then do
--system-site-packages --force
This will fix your issue because wxpython is not installed within venv pipx
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?
Often if you search my channel for a subject, you'll find I already did.
