Hi all!
Happy Newyear!
Hi, I purchased a Polmar DB-50M, which is a clone of the Anytone AT-5888UV, with minor differences. The most important difference is that it supports 7 character channel names.
I read the model name from the debug file: User selected AnyTone 5888UV on port COM9 Clone thread started 000: 49 44 42 2d 35 30 4d 00 IDB-50M. 008: 00 56 31 30 30 e4 00 06 .V100...
I also read the Intek 2040 issue and tried to create a polmar-db50m.py file based on the intek.py file (changed the vendor, model and classname), but loading the module seems to time-out when reading the radio:
@directory.register class PolmarDB50Madio(chirp_common.CloneModeRadio, chirp_common.ExperimentalRadio): """Polmar DB-50M""" VENDOR = "Polmar" MODEL = "DB-50M"
Is there a FAQ on how to create a *.py file yourself? I don;t mind tinkering a py file and I'm not scared of programming.
(copy from http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/1343, files are also posted there)
Tom Hayward suggested I capture the programming data to compare to the Anytone data, is there a tool I can use which works?
