[chirp_devel] Some more VX-6 bits
I've added some extra bits I know about to VX-6 channel memories. I reverse engineered a good part of the VX-6 image format some years ago, but never followed up on it. See http://www.ha19.no/la4rt/vx-6-protocol.html.
The attached patch modifies the memory format in vx6.py, with a separate comment block to explain what's going on. The fields for Power and half deviation should be useful.
I haven't tried to tie the bits up to the program logic.

Oops. The patch was incomplete. Trying again.

Applied, thanks. I can try to integrate those into the logic if you're not planning on it.
Does this mean you've done some testing on the vx6 driver since I converted it to bitwise-based?
Thanks!

As I told you earlier, I've done some work on the image format in the past. Since my first email, I've also remembered where the images I downloaded are. 235 images, with various changes to the radio in between.
Writeup: http://www.ha19.no/la4rt/vx-6-protocol.html Images: http://www.ha19.no/la4rt/images/ Notes about HT state when downloading: http://www.ha19.no/la4rt/vx-6-notes-images.txt
I'll have a shot at writing the logic for power and NFM tonight (i.e. now).

Right, I remember. I was asking if you had tested (incidentally) the recent change I made to the vx6 driver. Your diff was against that change, so I figured the answer was "yes". I don't have a VX6, so I haven't actually tested that re-write against real hardware yet.

Cool, thanks. There should be plenty of examples in the vx7 and vx8 drivers to draw from.

I didn't figure out the right order of pushing buttons on the radio and the computer until the new version came, but yes, it shows names as names and frequencies as frequencies.

Attached. It's against the version in the daily build from yesterday.

Applied, thanks. In the future, it would be handy if you could generate your patches from the tip of the tree instead of the dailies, just to make it easier for me to apply. Even better if you can use hg to export a changeset, that way I get your name, email, and commit message for free :)
Thanks!
