Hello guys
According to #4355, Alinco support suggests to try slower baud rates
with their official programming software if the default rate of 57600
baud does not work. Unfortunately, their own software does not seem to
have a setting for the baud rate, but we have a documented case in the
bug report where reducing the baud rate in chirp did allow for an image
transfer at the expense of slowing down the procedure.
This patch retries at 19200 baud if the default of 57600 baud fails.
That's kind of the best of both worlds -- users with good cables can
benefit from the fast rate and users with dodgy(?) cables can still use
the software. This patch also adds chirp_common.RadioPrompts() dialog
boxes to tell the user how to put the radio into programming mode, and
to inform him about the two baud rate options. It logs failed attempts
at the fast rate. I'd like to move the instructions to a dedicated tab
and instead pop up the dialog box instead of logging that condition, but
I can't seem to get around it. This is why I'm handing in the patch as
is for now, since at least one other user has asked for the feature
already.
Comments are welcome as usual.
Regards and thank you
Matt
