Bug #6605: FT4X name tags should allow characters + - / @ and * 

  • Author: Rob Hunter
  • Status: New
  • Priority: Low
  • Assignee: Daniel Clemmensen
  • Category: 
  • Target version: chirp-daily
  • Chirp Version: daily
  • Model affected: Yaesu FT-4XR
  • Platform: All

When entering repeater name tags from the keyboard the * V/M key on the keyboard enables the characters + - / and * to be added to a name tag. These are read and and written to the radio correctly. When editing existing or adding a new tag chirp masks these characters and they are removed from the tag. I think line 533 in ft4.py that reads 'CHARSET = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqurtuvwxyz*# "' should be CHARSET = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqurtuvwxyz*# +-/"
