02 Apr '16

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-20160402 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #394 [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] nB: Extra step on the upload updated, fixes #3015 As we begin to find clones and they use the extra id and the extra step on the upload I updated the code to just check the common place on this step: last byte being an ACK. Comments on the definition updates for the radio clones found. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] nA: Support for the QYT KT8900, fixes #3015 Added support for the radio QYT KT8900. Updated the extra ID code portion, as this radio uses it. Corrected a comment with the correct name for the radio KT-UV980 Related also to the issue #2673 [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n9: Var name correction and debug/error fix, fixes #3015 Corrected the var name for the QYT KT-UV980. Applied some rationalization with the debug and error messages. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n8: Fixed a bug on the upload (BTECH UV2501+220), fixes #3015 The BTECH UV2501+220 has a trick on the upload, it must push an ACK and get two bytes, ending with an ACK; this just before the data upload. Also the first block of data to upload must no start with an ACK. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n7: Simplified the part for the extra id, fixes #3015 Some radios like the BTECH UV2501+220 (and others) has a second id. Just a special string on a high zone of the mem, I improved and simplified the handling of this extra ID for the BTECH UV2501+220. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n6: New _recv function, now less intensive, fixes #3015 Full rewrite of the _recv() function to read a full block of data instead of doing short syscalls, hence less resource intensive [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n5: New serial send function (simplified), fixes #3015 Simplified the serial send function to remove the time wait that is not needed now with the recent changes. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n4: New raw data receive function, fixes #3015 New aproach on the raw receive of the data, it's way more secure and less resource intensive now, and even faster. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n3: Improved the serial timeout, fixes #3015 Set a general serial timeout and apply it in the correct places. [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n2: New serial flush function, fixes #3015 New serial flush function, it has the capability of survive a infinite serial data stream and warn the user about [Pavel Milanes (CO7WT) <pavelmc(a)gmail.com>] [PATCH][BTECH] n1: Update email for author, fixes #3015 Just updating the email for one of the autors.

Also as this is a btech driver the common magic for the btechs is set as the default value for the main class

[chirp_users] BF 888S Failure To Program
by Ed T 30 Mar '16

30 Mar '16

Using chirp I get message "An error Occurred" Radio Refuses to enter programing mode when trying to download radio settings. Works OK with ZT-Vrom Miklor. I had software on old computer running Win XP and all worked fine. Now on new computer with Windows 7 we have this problem. I have good driver and good cable. Are others experiencing this problem also using windows 7? Ed Thibedeau

Re: [chirp_users] We are looking for serial log of a QYT KT8900 radio with 220Mhz / QYT KT8900 radio with 220Mhz (KT8900R)
by Stan 29 Mar '16

Hello. I don't have the QYT KT8900 radio with 220Mhz yet, but I'm planning on getting one soon. This may help you a little, from my research the QYT KT8900 radio with 220Mhz is model QYT KT8900_R_ (note the "R" on the end). Also the Zastone MP-320 appears to be the exact same radio. These claim that they have a range of 240-260MHz, therefore they do NOT cover the US band of 222-225MHz. I have found this, too, but haven't tried it yet: "Changing the 'PASSWORD' on these is supposed to change the range of the associated band coverage. I have been told to 'hold F and power on, get PASSWORD' and then you could use this to change the 'PASSWORD' which supposedly _actually changes the Rx/Tx range_." So that procedure could be used to change the "222MHz" range from 240-260 to 222-225MHz, /_*IF* it actually works that way!_//_ _/The filters in the QYT KT8900R may not be able to cover 222 though, they may be designed to just cover 240-260. Again, I have not tried this, I just found it on the internet. I have the BTECH MINI UV-2501+220 (haven't tried it yet) and it appears to be the same thing also, except it comes already set up for 210-230MHz instead of 240-260. Maybe the filters are tuned a little differently?? Maybe something else is different also?? HTH! 73 Stan K8LL NW Ohio 10-10# 76801 FP# 3255 Propagation is our master . . . but sometimes the master is cruel!
