As a life long Arizonan, I can say that, without even reading the article, it's full of crap. 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 actu

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

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, thi

I'm not familiar with that, but I know that in order to get my dive computer to work with subsurface on Linux I have to add my user to the dialout group. Maybe there's something like that for chirp? On Thu, Jun 22, 2023, 19:37 Jim via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > I'm i

I think that's a whole other ball of worms around "Smart Cities", and more about the technologies they conceptualize applying to run cities better, not so much cities turning into a large hub of technology employers. I don't think there's a (good) book for that yet... Been there, done that too wi

I'm in need of help with Chirp on Kubuntu 22.04.  CHIRP is a program that allows for easy programming of a transceiver and for backing up the configuration of the radio in question.  I've used it before I upgraded to 22.04 and it worked.  Now it doesn't.  I have the port set to /dev/ttyUSB0.

Meh, I've heard this since the dot.bomb implosion of 2000, when I happened to move back from silicon valley at the beginning of 2001 with everything going under there. Seemed like half of Cali moved here with me after, and tons of like speculation at the time of a Silicon Desert. While I think AZ

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 So
