ST. LOUIS AREA AND CHIRP
- Thread starter jhlewis10

I just bought a subscription to RR to download data for Chirp as well, and get the same error. I've tried several versions of Chirp from 0.1.12 to the latest daily build, all have the same error with St. Louis area data and no other areas. I've gone over the Chirp code (as much as I dislike python), and though it could handle the error a bit more elegantly, it appears the issue is with the RR databases missing a sub-category name.
Any chance of getting this sorted out? I'd really like to be able to use the RR subscription I paid for. It should be something as simple as adding a sub-category name in the database, or changing an existing sub-category name to something unique (if duplicated).
Full dump of transaction and error below, showing all successful polls to help narrow it down. If the admins can't/wont help, I'll try to script something up in perl for importing into Chirp.

print "\t", subcat.scName
AttributeError: subcat instance has no attribute 'scName'Also noticed looking through the Chirp code that it's using unencrypted call to the RR API. Since RR provides SSL for the API URI, it doesn't make sense not to use it. The fix for this is:
Those commands in order:
- Change directory to Chirp install dir (may need to alter path for your installation)
- Some perl with regex to change http://api... to https://api...
- Then recompile the python bytecode
You will probably have to do this as root, again depending on your particular install.
I will also mention this to the Chirp developer.
----------------------------
Edit: disregard the above change for now, it appears that either Chirp or RR behaves differently using SSL, and does not function.
Code:
cd /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp
perl -pi -e 's/http:\/\/api/https:\/\/api/i' radioreference.py
python -m compileall .Those commands in order:
- Change directory to Chirp install dir (may need to alter path for your installation)

After doing some packet dumps and adding debugging to Chirps radioreference.py, I found the issue in the RR database. It seems that subcategory ID 40874 does not have an scName field associated with it:
Last successful sub-category poll:
(subcat){
scid = 40873
scName = "Warner #3 (Clayton)"
}
Error with next in line:
(subcat){
scid = 40874
}
AttributeError: subcat instance has no attribute 'scName'
Is there a mod/admin who can correct this for us?

I would suggest submitting a correction to the DB. The admin there can update what you need.
The scid field appears to be a unique identifier used by the database (primary key type thing), and is not displayed on the website, nor in the PDF/CSV files for download. With that, I have no idea what entry the scid value designates, nor what its corresponding scName should be. It'll likely have to be handled by the backend database administrator.
I went ahead and took care of the issue - thanks!
