[chirp_devel] [PATCH 0 of 3] [vx5] Two fixes and a feature
by Tom Hayward 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

This patch set includes: - An update to the VX5's band limits - The ability to open and save files from EVE and VX5 Commander - A fix for bug #87 (http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/87) that casued the VX5 to lock up when recalling some memories created by Chirp, because Chirp did not set the unknown bits of the memory to safe defaults. Now unknown values are set to the same defaults as memories created on the VX5 (coincidentally, all 0x00). Tom KD7LXL

[chirp_devel] VX2r incremental progress
by Andrew Errington 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Hi all, Thank you for your indulgence. I added a single transistor buffer to the FTDI Tx line, and I used the FTDI utility to invert the sense of the Tx line. Unfortunately it didn't work. This is basically Q1 R10 and R11 from Alexander Meier's circuit. In desperation I ordered a USB interface from 409shop. I am sure it will arrive in a few days. And in fact, ordering this interface has taught me something after all. :) In the meantime, today, I added a second layer of transistor buffer to the first, and turned the Tx inversion off again. This would be Q3 and R13. I also removed the diode between Tx and Rx. I am pleased to say that it works! I can now read the VX2r memories using VX2 Commander under Wine in Linux. I have a CSV file of my radio's contents. Chirp also does the Right Thing, and gives me a nice progress bar before it barfs with a checksum error. I am wondering if I go back to the single-transistor buffer but with no base resistor and a 47k pullup instead of 10k would it work? I may try that, especially since I can't box up what I have as it's a spaghetti mess now, and it would be nice to just have to add one transistor and one resistor. I have not added any buffering to the FTDI chip input. In my intermediate testing I have been trying various combinations with and without the diode, to see if it could be eliminated. My next iteration would be to drop the supply voltage to 3V3 as I'm still worried about that. I will use the 5V interface for my FT817. Incidentally, the 3V3 version worked with the 3V3 serial port on a D-Link ADSL modem which I plan to repurpose as an APRS gateway, but it has separate Tx and Rx lines, not a shared one like the VX2r. Anyway, after this, it's just software... 73, Andrew ZL3AME

[chirp_devel] [PATCH 0 of 3] Kenwood TH-D72 live driver
by Tom Hayward 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

The first patch implements a live driver for the Kenwood TH-D72. I found the existing TH-D72 clone driver was erroring during uploads and leaving garbage in the new memory channels. The live driver allows the TH-D72 to reject bad memory data, so corruption is significantly less likely. The live driver currently does not support cross-tones, but I plan to implement this within the next few weeks. The next two patches are a charset and valid_skips fix for the TM-D710 driver, which also affect the TM-V71 and TH-D72. Tom KD7LXL

[chirp_devel] VX2r update (nothing to report)
by Andrew Errington 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hi all, I moved apartments and have been setting up my workspace again. Unfortunately I have nothing further to report. I have tried my 3V3 and 5V FTDI chip interfaces and neither work. I can receive data, but I cannot transmit, so the radio halts at the first block. It worked once, but I haven't been able to reproduce that. I will now try to add a transistor buffer on the transmit line (from the FTDI chip). Maybe it can't pull down hard enough. I did run the FTDI chip utility to turn on the high-current output drive, but no effect. Yes, I could buy an interface, but that will teach me nothing. 73, Andrew ZL3AME
