CHIRP

Thanks for the quick reply, Jim! I should have included that the program works for my UV-5Rs, but not my new TD-H6. Sorry for being a doofus here — I didn't think about it until just now. I do have Python installed.

This is because the TD-H6 is programmed with the ga510.py driver. The ga510.py driver requires the future module. The future module is not included in the MacOS Unified Application. So you will have to install it yourself (if it can be installed -- I have never bothered to install the future module on my mac because I do my CHIRP programming using Windows (mostly) and Linux). If I needed to add the future module to Linux I would use a command in terminal similar to "pip install future".

See the "pypi.org future":https://pypi.org/project/future/ page.

Awesome — thanks, Jim!

Brian, did adding the future module solve this for you?

Jim KC9HI

It worked like a dream — thanks!

I am having the same issue with a RadioOddity GA-510. I tried restarting Chirp and the radio but every time I try to read from the radio it gives the message about an integer is required. I just checked and I DO have Python 2.7 installed.

Because you don't have the future module installed. See "note 3":https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/10064#note-3 above.

I'm not able to download from radio with the same error -- the message about an integer being required. The "pip install future" was successful but still get the error. I'm trying to download from a Baofeng BF-H6.

My bad! I needed to get out of Chirp and restart it after installing "future" -- it works now!
