Hi Jim, thanks for getting back to me. I have based the AR-F8 driver off the existing KG-UV8D driver, so I will go back and see that I have missed. (I was wondering if I missed something obvious as 1026.6 is not a tone supported by the radio so I'm not suprised it isn't in the list...) As for the driver, it should have been an attachment to the first mail in this thread - if not, please let me know how to post. As an aside, I'm developing using Python 3.9 and was wondering if there are difficulties with that? I still haven't gotten to the bottom of the 'Radio tried to write the wrong type of data to the SerialNone pipe' test as was wondering if it is a Python 2/3 thing?
Thanks again, Mark

ABBREE
- AR-F8 (use Wouxun KG-UV8D)
So I would suggest that you look at the KG-UV8D driver to see how it handles the CTCSS tones.
Where can your AR-F8 driver be obtained?
