[chirp_users] New Daily Build
by Build System 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

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-20201125 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #638 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix crash in anytone_iii when memobj isn't loaded The new anytone_iii driver inspected the memory object during get_features(), just to count the memories, which shouldn't be necessary. This papers over that failure with the statically-defined value, but ideally, we'd just replace the dynamic check with a static number. However, this fixes the build, and is the least amount of change. Related to #3941 [Brad Schuler <brad(a)schuler.ws>] [anytone_iii] Add the new radio AnyTone 5888UV-III Related to issue #3941 Add support for the tri-band AnyTone 5888UV-III.

BTech UV-25X2, UV-25X4, UV-50X2 QYT KT7900D, KT8900D, KT8900R Surecom S-KT8900D Radioddity QB25 Related to #8463 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] [btech.py] Correct typos in variable names.

[chirp_users] CHIRP and VX-6: impossible to upload from Mac
by Giulio Marchi 23 Nov '20

23 Nov '20

Hi all, I am quite new to this community so greetings to everyone. Downloading from the radio to the Mac goes just smooth. On the other hand it is impossible from OS X to upload an img file to the VX-6 since it deeply crashes OS X and the only solution is to press and hold the power button (chirp-daily-20201014 and High Sierra). I detailed the issue while updating this bug https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/5543 but I was wondering if anyone had similar issues or has some bright ideas. Thanks, Giulio
