[chirp_devel] LiOn charge in UV-3r radio
by John at 26 Jul '11

>The battery is a >LiOn unit, but there are no charging smarts in the base, just a 5V >supply directly into the battery. That's, like, not cool. I hope they do >something smarter if charging it within the handheld, but I think I'd >check on that before I held it to my face while charging. The radio itself has a dedicated LiOn charge circuit. -- John at KB0NE, amateur radio station

Glad to hear you've added some preliminary support for this. I'm just curious what did this radio look like from a protocol perspective? Are there any similarities emerging for these chinese radios?

[chirp_devel] [PATCH] Fix clone.py to not attempt to read empty ports list.
by Tom Hayward 15 Jul '11

15 Jul '11

Re: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/trac/ticket/128 IndexError bug I said this bug was fixed in changeset:924, but it was actually just masked. If no ports are found, the IndexError still occurs. I intended to fix this by displaying an error dialog when no ports were auto-detected, but decided to fail quietly instead. The user still has the option to manually type a port location. With this patch, CHIRP handles an empty serial port list without error. The fix prevents CHIRP from blindly attempting to read from an empty list. Tom KD7LXL
