[chirp_users] Yaesu FT-2600, further thoughts
by Michael Tortorella 06 Feb '21

Folks, I am tempted to use the FT-2800 software to program my FT-2600M, based on the similarity of those two radios. Question is, if this is not a sane procedure and does not work, will I bork the 2600M beyond recovery? Thanks for your thoughts, 73, Mike W2IY

Hi. In their defence, if the person concerned is using a phone or similar mobile device, their email clients editing facilities are "painful" in the extreme, even if they let you see what is left attached to what you are sending in reply, it is often difficult to impossible to edit or trim it. Even if it can be done, it is less than easy on a small mobile screen.. Some mailing lists, automatically limit the amount of included text, I don't know of this system has that facility. (But then sometimes you loose the message that is being replied to.) But yes, this (and the Elecraft list in particular) often suffers such issues with the digest mode. 73. Dave G8KBV.

Hi. Is there a clone available for the BaoFeng UV-S9 PLUS Tri-Band10W? I've been trying various options but haven't been able to find anything that works.

[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Greetings, A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20201221 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #640 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Style fix related to patch for #8565 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [H777] Retevis H777 Plus This patch adds support for the Retevis H777 Plus (FRS/PMR) models with fixed antennas. Related to #8565 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [H777] Rework Serial Timeout The previous patch has broken uploads for the classic BF-888s radios and newer Retevis H777 models. The constanstant switching of the timeout to .5 before each block is sent and back to .25 after each block is sent on a Windows computer creates "noise" that causes the apparently "faster" radios to mis the "ack" returned by the radio which results in the upload failing. This patch resolves the issue by setting the serial timeout to .5 and leaving it remain that way for all serial activity. fixes #8197 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT22] Remove FRS and PMR446 Frequency Tables This driver was coded in a way that erasing a memory row would preselect the appropriate FRS or PMR446 frequency, bandwidth and transmit power level. This would similar to how the OEM programming software functions (actually the OEM software has the frequencies, bandwidth and power level settings fixed so that they cannot be edited). While getting ready to submit test images for these models, I rediscovered that the CHIRP test suite regards this as a memory that can't be erased and reports an error. This patch removes the frequency tables and other code related to this so that the test suite will pass when tested with the related "image" files. related to #6467 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT22] Add Retevis RT622 Model This patch adds support for the Retevis RT622 PMR446 version. related to #6467 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT22] Add Retevis RT22FRS Model This patch adds support for the Retevis RT22 FRS version. related to #6467 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT22] Add Radio ID to Retevis RT22 Driver Add additional radio ID and supporting code that is required to support currently shipping Retevis RT22 models and other similar variants. related to #6467 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [RT22] Retevis RT22 Driver Cleanup for better PEP8 Compliance Clean up driver before adding another radio ID and support for additional radio models. related to #6467 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [KT-8R] Add New MCU Version This patch adds an additional MCU Version to the support for the QYT KT-8R fixes #8513 [Brad Schuler <brad(a)schuler.ws>] [anytone_iii] Naming convention cleanup (issue #8503) [Mark Leigh <mark.leigh(a)shaw.ca>] Added methods and UI to query/import RadioRef.com for Canada. Fixes #8021 My first foray into Python, so forgive anything that's not optimal. user: Mark Leigh <mark.leigh(a)shaw.ca> branch 'default' changed chirp/directory.py changed chirp/radioreference.py changed chirp/ui/mainapp.py

In the hope of supporting the ftm-400xdr, over the course of 2 months I wrote twice to Yaesu asking if a programming guide is available. Both times, no reply. Yet their tech support replies quickly (relatively speaking!) to other questions. Does anyone know of a source for the info, better email address, etc.? Tnx es 73! Mike ab3ap
