[chirp_devel] VX5 patch for issue #5383
# HG changeset patch # User Richard Birch n7uoa.birch@gmail.com # Date 1528776273 21600 # Mon Jun 11 22:04:33 2018 -0600 # Node ID a4c1ce4e14c0d74aa96c87b114736fceb90d2fcd # Parent 907a29c461756340424bde01760cfc2065f9f91c [vx5] Added support for virtual jumpers. Fixed #5383
Cool, but, IIRC once you flip the jumpers you have to start communicating with the radio as a different model, no? We don't have an "unlocked" variant for the vx5 AFAIK. Is this not a problem with the virtual jumpers?

I don't believe so. I will do some more testing tonight and let you know.

Okay, I thought specifically the MARS/CAP jumper caused it to change its model number slightly, thus changing what you had to use to clone.
Can you capture an image with the jumpers set one way, then flip the jumpers in the radio, then try to upload the original image and see if it works? Maybe I'm recalling that you stop being able to use your old images once you do, but in that case, you could flip the jumpers in that image and be okay.
Anyway, patch looks fine otherwise, but would like to make sure we know the details of the above before it goes in, just to be sure.
Thanks!

My recollection is that during the operation where you change the virtual jumpers, you must change only the jumpers. No changes to any memories or settings. Do your upload with the new jumpers.
Now that the jumpers have changed, you cannot use your old img files. Download a new img from the radio. Now you can import your old memories into the new img, but not use it directly.
Other Yaesu radios were written with different (more specific) model detection and will not detect the model after the jumpers change. The VX5 model detection is broader and doesn't take the jumper position into account, which is why you need to manually track which img files match the current jumper positions.

This is the case on VX8-DR, too.

Not sure what's changed, but uploads fail before my patch is applied. Will work through this before green lighting the patch.
