[chirp_devel] VARIANT ?
In chirp_common.py, for a given radio class, besides VENDOR and MODEL which appear useful, what is VARIANT used for?
In chirp_common.py, for a given radio class, besides VENDOR and MODEL which appear useful, what is VARIANT used for?
A compatible variant of a given model. It's used in one place to distinguish between the UHF and VHF variant of a handheld, as well as on the VX-8 driver to distinguish between the VX-8R, VX-8GR, VX-8DR, all of which are nearly identical, but might have teensy differences.
It's really not a hugely important distinction.

ok, so something that can be used internal to your radio classes, but not exposed to end user?
