Re: [chirp_devel] Issue with Baofeng Firmware Version

The problem is when CHIRP displays the firmware version, the firmware version gets sanitized so it can be displayed. This changes the 0xFF values to spaces. Then when the user modifies any settings, the sanitized firmware version gets written to the image. Since the firmware of the image no longer matches the firmware version of the radio, CHIRP aborts the upload.

Hmm, are we letting people alter the firmware version that gets stored back into the image? Is that a good idea?

Is there a way to display the firmware version as read only text (as it is now) but not alter the characters stored in the image?

I would think we should change that to a label instead of an entry so that it's visible but not alterable by the user...
