Thanks for finding and putting in the “DN” mode. Interestingly, on the FT-2D, the “automatic” mode is displayed as DN or FM with a line over the characters, meaning that the radio will default to trying the letter-configured mode but will automagically convert itself to the opposite one if appropriate. (It doesn’t always revert back to that automatic mode after changing itself, AFAICT.)
The Yaesu FT-1 and successors are able to handle YSF and Wires-X digital data in the DN or bar-above-FM mode. I have mapped much of the memory space for configuring these (sub?) modes, and even tried to create a settings capability via the old TK GUI interface. Although I doubt there is a burning need for this, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to at least access the settings?
Ah, this is what I was looking for. Sounds like DN is working for both of those radios at least?
Is there any walkthrough to help one use drive the CHIRP data model and GUI to display and configure top-level as well as hierarchical settings? Clearly, Somebody already has done that for the APRS data. and I tried using that as a model, but there’s no easy hierarchy in there.
Just look at some of the other drivers. The UV-5R has a boatload of settings, and I think the BTECH 25X2 has even more hierarchy. Load up the test images and you can see what it looks like compared to the code.
