If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-04072012 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #55 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Another tweak to TH-F6A split memory storage Related to Bug #101 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [uv5r] Fix inverted power level selection Should fix #106 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Coerce values when setting in bitwise. This will help avoid silly things like exceptions when value can be coerced to an int, but isn't and thus can't be used for bitwise-ops. Catch-all bug: #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Mark the development branch's version number accordingly Bug #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add a match_model() to the XML driver, since it is now being asked to detect itself. Fallout from #102 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Add example .hmk file to test images. #102 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Add import support for Kenwood *.hmk files. Feature #102 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Make CSVRadio::__grow() accessible from inherited classes, such as HMKRadio. #102 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Make CSVRadio::match_model() more generic so it works with HMKRadio. #102 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add a new FileBackedRadio subclass between CloneModeRadio and Radio This helps to distinguish between purely file-based drivers (such as CSV and XML) and a file-backed radio that can be uploaded (such as all the current clone-type radios). This also changes the logic in chirpui/clone.py that filters out drivers that can't be connected to an actual device. Related to Bug #102 [Tom Hayward <tom(a)tomh.us>] Add US FRS and GMRS Channels to stock_configs. #93 Changes for Build #56 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix more fallout from #102 in the XML driver

Might help #105 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [uv5r] Consider 0xFFFF to be "no tone" as well as 0x0000 Related to #84 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix chirp.py for recent dynamic registration changes #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add US MURS and Marine VHF channels to stock_configs (thanks to Tom) Catch-all: #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add support for split tx frequencies to the older kenwoods that store them as separate sub-channels. This is tested on the D7/D700, but speculative on the TH-F6A. Hopefully fixes #101 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [uv5r] Fix UHF limits to be 400-480Mhz Related to Bug #84 [Marco Filippi <iz3gme.marco(a)gmail.com>] Support masked memories (affect whole ft8x7 family) Related to Feature #94 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix UV-5R setting of new (previously empty) channels Related to #84

Fixes #103 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix directory to handle non-existent (i.e. Untitled.csv) files after recent change to model matching. Related to #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Merge with stable Bug #00 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Prevent the user from pasting more rows than are currently visible into the memory editor. Addresses Bug #99 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Add tools/check_for_bug.sh, which is intended to be used as a pretxncommit hook to enforce having a bug for each commit. This one will go against the catch-all bug #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix test ANSI output for long radio names and sorted by vendor/model #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Prevent the user from pasting more rows than are currently visible into the memory editor.

The exception here is regular ICF files, which need to be driverized and then they can be done this way as well. Catch-all bug #93 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Further fixes to Baofeng cross tone support Fixes #65

This allows you to use different tones for transmit and receive, as well as do things like Tone on transmit and DTCS on receive. It does not allow using different DTCS codes for transmit and receive. Mostly addresses Bug #65 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Update FT857 driver to handle the changed Cross Modes definitions Bug #65 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] The BruteForce test for Cross tone modes should not expect the driver to know the difference between TSQL and Tone->Tone if the tones are identical. Related to Bug #65 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix the terminology in the Cross Modes definition so that it's more consistent. It was added to support Kenwood radios, which use DCS instead of DTCS and CTCSS instead of TSQL. This changes it to just "Tone" or "DTCS" for the transmit and receive modes. Related to Bug #65

For example, here are the headers and one memory. If this helps > explain what I am talking about. No, I understand what you're saying. In order to support the Yaesu bank model I had to change the UI, so there is no longer a column in the memory editor for the bank. The VX-6 driver does not have bank support yet, which is why I need you to create an image for me to study in order to add it. > Tag,RX Freq,Name,Mode,Skip,Step,Masked,RPT Sh,ShiftFrq,TS/DCS,Tone,DCS,TX > Pwr,TX Dev,Clk Sh, BANK 1, BANK 2, BANK 3, BANK 4, BANK 5, BANK 6, BANK > 7,BANK 8,BANK > 9,BANK10,BANK11,BANK12,BANK13,BANK14,BANK15,BANK16,BANK17,BANK18,BANK19,BANK > 20,BANK21,BANK22,BANK23,BANK24 This looks like it was from some program other than CHIRP. -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS
