This 3 gen wave of BTECH radios has new settings items and we need a flag to know when we are dealing with one of these to show the settings properly. This is an advance to the real settings modification. 73

[chirp_devel] [PATCH][KT8900] Comment about old versions of KT8900 in the UI, fixes #3539
by Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) 13 May '16

13 May '16

All points that the QYT KT8900 is the main OEM model, and there are two variants of it, from the prespective of the communication dance: * One is with just the ID and right to the down/up process (clone of WACCOM Mini8900) * The other (is the default now) with a second id read & a extra step on the upload process. As both uses different communications steps we can't put them both under the same case, fortunately the "older" model has a clone in the WACCOM Mini8900. We put here a notice on the failure to read a KT8900 to warn the users to try the WACCOM Mini8900 instead.

[chirp_devel] [GT-890] Remove direct support for the Sainsonic GT-890, fixes #3533
by Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) 12 May '16

12 May '16

This patch is to remove the direct support for the Sainsonic GT-890 as it's a perfect clone of the QYT KT8900, this applies to the two known variants of the GT-890 so far. The change to the Wiki (Supported Radios page) is already done We are paving the way for the new radio.ALIASES feature that will put aliases on the UI in a user friendly way. We have internal tests going on about it.

[chirp_devel] help needed
by Tom Masterson 11 May '16

11 May '16

I am working with several radios some of which I expect not to work so no problem. However if I hook up a Baofeng UV-6 and ask chirp to do a download via ttyUSB0 under Ubuntu 14.04 I get "Radio did not respond" error. Nothing else shows in the log even if I use debug level and verbose settings. Radio connected with it's proper cable and volume on full (though I have tested it at various volume settings). I get the expected errors if the cable is not plugged into the computer so I assume it is reading the port correctly. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong? Thanks Tom

[chirp_devel] TYT TH-7800
by Nathan Crapo 10 May '16

10 May '16

Is anyone working on TH7800 support? I just got one and may take a crack at it if it's not already in progress. Looked at the TH9800.py chirp driver for a start. Guessing it has a lot of similarities to the 7800. I used the 9800 driver a template, changed a few obvious things, and tried to get a dump. Unfortunately it didn't work yet, but there are lots more things I can try. Any pointers on how to "sniff" the dump from the TYT software? I saw what looked like a dump that someone posted. Not sure if it matches what my radio is doing or not. I used something like "serial splitter" on Windows a long time ago for something similar. Not really a Windows guy, but can go there if I need to. The TYT software is Windows only. Regards, Nathan
